The Holiday (2006) 51% EDIT “Each scene in The Holiday is more annoying than the last.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Hot Rod (2007) 39% EDIT “The silly kills the funny. Every time things get rolling, some guy starts doing a ridiculous dance for no reason. Or Rod and his brother incessantly repeat the words "cool beans."” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Step Brothers (2008) 54% EDIT “Dull, ineptly paced, and lazy.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Clash of the Titans (2010) 27% EDIT “Nothing personal, kraken. You did your best.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Ricky Gervais: Humanity (2018) 47% EDIT “It's baffling that Gervais can have so much reverence for physical evolution and so little for intellectual evolution.” – New York Times Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Flicka (2006) 54% EDIT “This movie is full of hot, grimy, lonesome cowpokes, and nobody pokes anyone. LAME!” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Conversations With God (2006) 7% EDIT “God speaks with Walsch's own voice, the point being, of course, that God is you. God is me. God is a hobo and a douchebag and a blowhard named Neale Donald Walsch.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Le Roman de Renard (1930) 100% EDIT “Basically as amazing to me as that time Leonardo da Vinci invented the helicopter.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Knight and Day (2010) 51% EDIT “Knight and Day is fun enough-something like a toothless Bourne Identity, in which a federal superagent (Cruise) is pursued through the streets of fancy olde Europe for a crime he only sort of committed.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 12, 2018 Full Review Holy Rollers (2010) 52% EDIT “Holy Rollers' innocence-lost, you-can't-go-home-again arc is something of a clich, but the film remains refreshingly nonjudgmental about its hero's burgeoning criminal career.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 12, 2018 Full Review Toy Story 3 (2010) 98% EDIT “Hilarity, terrors, the melancholy of love and loss and growing up, and millions of adult-baby tears ensue.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) 46% EDIT “Twilight: Eclipse is meticulously, strenuously boring.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review The Last Airbender (2010) 5% EDIT “Airbender's editing is clunky, its pace glacial. It feels like watching someone's homemade tai chi highlight reel, if tai chi could be somehow racist.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Rec 2 (2009) 67% EDIT “REC 2 is adequately claustrophobic and frightening and freaky, but the formula wears thin after a while-especially once they defang the first movie's mystery by explaining it. But if you're a sucker for utter panic, it'll do.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Salt (2010) 62% EDIT “Salt is blissfully terrible.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Dinner for Schmucks (2010) 42% EDIT “It's clear that Dinner for Schmucks is going for a Meet the Parents-style typhoon of misery, but the series of misfortunes that befall Tim are more mean than funny and too contrived to be outrageous.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Middle Men (2009) 39% EDIT “But the glib, gimmicky narration (i.e., the aforementioned "a better way for guys to jack off"-yawn), delivered in Wilson's vegetative monotone, leaves the film lumpy and uneven and often dull.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Waking Sleeping Beauty (2009) 71% EDIT “Waking Sleeping Beauty was clearly a cathartic project for its creators, but the level of anecdotal detail ("Then we went out for margaritas!") comes off as self-indulgent at first and eventually just dull.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Step Up 3 (2010) 47% EDIT “Step Up 3D doesn't have to be anything more than a series of completely magnificent dance sequences (all that tasty, candied melodrama is just a binding agent). And the dancing does not disappoint. It's virtuosic and exciting and borderline magical.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest (2010) 77% EDIT “The film's swooping shots of Everest's jagged shoulders and unforgiving flanks are appropriately breathtaking, but it's in the small human moments where Wildest Dream gets interesting.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review The Extra Man (2010) 40% EDIT “But there's a level of humanity lacking at the center of all that forced quirkiness. These characters don't feel like people so much as harsh, animated bundles of affectations. It's lonely in there.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Eat Pray Love (2010) 34% EDIT “The unexamined privilege, the idealization/exotification of all places east, the canned spirituality, the sensual goddamn spaghetti-it's all so focus-group-tested and Oprah approved and self-perpetuating and embarrassing.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 30, 2017 Full Review The Town (2010) 92% EDIT “In between terrific action set pieces, The Town lightens the anxiety with some chewy, funny moments.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 29, 2017 Full Review Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) 54% EDIT “Often, the film feels more like a lecture than a narrative-minus the one thing that makes a lecture useful: actual information.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 29, 2017 Full Review Cell 211 (2009) 98% EDIT “A Spanish prison thriller so terrifically stressful it just might compress your brain into a diamond.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 29, 2017 Full Review
