American Beauty (1999) 87% EDIT “As faux-deep Oscar bait goes, American Beauty is as broad and predictable as an episode of Three's Company.” – Uproxx Sep 16, 2019 Full Review They Live (1988) 86% EDIT “While the text of They Live isn't all that scary, the subtext is among the most terrifying aspects of life in the modern world.” – The Ringer Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Too Funny To Fail (2017) 100% EDIT “Too Funny To Fail should be praised for reminding people that this wondrously bizarre show exists.” – Uproxx Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Certain Women (2016) 92% EDIT “Certain Women is one of the best movies I've seen in 2016, and a signature work by one of our greatest contemporary filmmakers.” – Uproxx Oct 28, 2016 Full Review Oasis: Supersonic (2016) 84% EDIT “Still, if Supersonic told the whole story, and embraced the glory and the silliness of Oasis, I'd wager that it would make Oasis seem more mythic, not less.” – Uproxx Oct 28, 2016 Full Review Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012) 89% B- EDIT “Murphy is one hell of a frontman, and LCD Soundsystem is a deliriously exciting concert act.” – AV Club Jul 18, 2012 Full Review Kites: The Remix (2010) 70% B- EDIT “To anyone versed in Bollywood conventions, it's a natural outgrowth of the genre, and a comically overwrought but still generally fun time.” – AV Club May 27, 2010 Full Review Transylmania (2009) 0% F EDIT “Transylmania is such a colossal comedic misfire that it makes the execrable Scary Movie films look like masterworks of Preston Sturges-esque genius by comparison.” – AV Club Dec 7, 2009 Full Review Sorority Row (2009) 24% D EDIT “The blatant attempts at humor mostly fall flat, but a third-act catfight manages briefly to detour the film into fairly enjoyable camp.” – AV Club Sep 11, 2009 Full Review Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) 11% F EDIT “Expelled is a classic bait-and-switch, presenting itself as a plea for freedom in the scientific marketplace of ideas, while actually delivering a grossly unfair, contradictory, and ultimately repugnant attack on Darwinists.” – AV Club Apr 24, 2008 Full Review Doomsday (2008) 50% C+ EDIT “Doomsday plays more like a series of mini-remakes than a single, cohesive film.” – AV Club Mar 14, 2008 Full Review Witless Protection (2008) 4% F EDIT “Larry The Cable Guy is a cancerous boil on the ass of comedy, but it's still sort of shocking how little effort he puts into his movies.” – AV Club Feb 25, 2008 Full Review Strange Wilderness (2008) 2% C- EDIT “Sloppy, choppy, and indifferently assembled, Strange Wilderness is slapdash even by the relaxed standards of its executive producer, Adam Sandler.” – AV Club Feb 2, 2008 Full Review Meet the Spartans (2008) 2% F EDIT “While there's enough comedic material there for as many as three somewhat tolerable minutes of MADtv, Meet The Spartans gamely alternates between unfunny gay jokes and violent pratfalls for a good 80 minutes.” – AV Club Jan 26, 2008 Full Review U2 (2007) 92% B- EDIT “The problem with U2 3D is that the U2 part is rarely as thrilling as the 3D part.” – AV Club Jan 24, 2008 Full Review Doc (2007) 80% b EDIT “As Doc observes, most crazy people are repellent, but H.L. Humes was magnetic.” – AV Club Jan 23, 2008 Full Review September Dawn (2006) 17% D EDIT “With its complete lack of empathy for early Mormons and simplistic rendering of historical figures, September Dawn is that rare movie that actually deserves whatever condemnation might come from religious groups.” – AV Club Aug 27, 2007 Full Review Skinwalkers (2006) 11% B- EDIT “A throwback to workmanlike '70s and '80s-era low-budget action thrillers.” – AV Club Aug 14, 2007 Full Review Who's Your Caddy? (2007) 6% C- EDIT “The latest entry in the storied 'white people are like this, black people are like that' comedy subgenre.” – AV Club Jul 27, 2007 Full Review Delta Farce (2007) 5% D- EDIT “Like Paths Of Glory, Apocalypse Now, and Platoon, Delta Farce is a difficult, harrowing work offering little relief or humor. Unlike those movies, though, Delta Farce is supposed to be funny.” – AV Club May 15, 2007 Full Review
