" A shrill cacophony of puerile clichés about men and women and sex, delivered in adrenaline-driven harangues and arrogant lectures. When the stage clears, all that's left is the unpleasant odor of all that hot air." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Never Back Down (2008)24%

" The most insipidly innocuous film ever made about facing mortality and living it up before passing away, The Bucket List has as much poetry and poise as its clumsy, clunky title." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" (Marcus) Siega plays racism, class disdain, ignorance and self-absorption for glib laughs in his equally glib satire..." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The Cave (2005)13%

D
 
" (Director) Collet-Serra has no facility for suspense or mood, and he stretches out the brain-dead dialogue and plodding plot until it's numbing." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted May 8, 2005
 
House of Wax (2005)25%

My Little Eye (2002)53%

" Just to clear up any possible confusion, the title actually refers to Steven Seagal's latest action film, not his gasping-for-air film career." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Half Past Dead (2002)2%

" The lazy script substitutes goofy situations for actual gags, much of which falls flat under Rob Pritts' plodding direction." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted Oct 12, 2001
 
Corky Romano (2001)5%
/
D
 
" The clunky direction of Steve Carr (Next Friday) lurches from one scene to another with the grace of a pratfall and the script reads more like a skit comedy than a story." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted Jun 22, 2001
 
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)40%
/
D
 
" a leaden piece of touchy-feely melodrama about a pair of soul-scarred trauma survivors who fall in love and start tearing down the walls they've built around their hearts. " -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Angel Eyes (2001)31%
/
D
 
" May hold the attention of the very young, but despite marginal attempts at Disney-style cleverness, the simplistic writing, flat animation and sloppy direction will leave adults bored." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted May 11, 2001
 
Trumpet of the Swan (2001)13%
/
D
 
" A one-joke, one-note turkey that works over Sam Shepard's Fool for Love as a mistaken identity farce hammered into the Mary blueprint, but without any of its invention, energy or heart." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
