Her only flair is in her nostrils.

Appearance Reviews/Criticism

You know when an actress like Claire Forlani starts making fun of other actresses for being anorexic, the film is operating in another dimension.

Amateurishness can have its charms. But when it doesn’t, it looks very much like this excruciatingly farcical, alleged romantic comedy…

This movie is the definition of a dud, something that just sits inert on screen.

No, Cameron! Not another musical interlude! Please, I’ll be good!

Watching Tallulah Bankhead on the stage is like watching somebody skating on thin ice – everyone wants to be there when it breaks.

Director Ted Demme is a moron, and here’s why.

To imagine that there was a whole process required to bring this film to screen is almost too painful to imagine.

Kim Kardashian is saddled with a huge arse… but enough about Kanye West.

The acting is always good, but when it's not, you can always expect that character to flash her boobs, so who's complaining?

It’s obvious that nobody believed in this project longer than it took for the check to clear.

Parsifal is the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock; after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20.

About the only redeeming features of The Sweetest Thing is that for a few minutes of the film, Cameron Diaz cavorts around in her underwear, and also sings a song about penises… and even that’s not half as good as it sounds on paper.

According to Hollywood logic, none of the actual Titanic passengers was interesting enough, so the writer-director had to invent a Romeo and Juliet-style fictional couple to heat up the catastrophe. This seems a tiny bit like giving Anne Frank a wacky best friend, to perk up that attic.

I’m going to attempt something never done before, and something that should not be done without supervision. I’m going to reference Shakespeare when speaking of “Battleship,” but this movie was a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

To call Jackass the worst movie of the year is practically a compliment. It is an appalling illustration of how low corporate America will go to make a buck.

Like watching an affair between a mad rocking-horse and a rawhide suitcase.
