Not bad bad as the poster makes it out to be, but not good either.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
DVD Clinic
Chris Bumbray
A tepid end to a tepid saga. The CGI is bad enough that you'd think this came from the mid-nineties.

Tyrannosaur
DVD Clinic
Chris Bumbray
This is a profoundly depressing film at times, but in the end, it also proves to be a surprisingly hopeful one. If you have the stomach for it, TYRANNOSAUR is an intensely rewarding film

Selena
DVD Review

Even in its sappiest moments, Jennifer Lopez's performance and Selena's music shine through.

The Omen
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
Nothing ruins a gag faster, be it in humor or horror, than someone having to explain it to you. But in the case of The Omen, we already knew the tale. The constant repetition and reminders are just onerous overkill.

Hairspray
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
Certainly Waters would argue that all his films end on an upbeat note. But [Hairspray] is the first time the joy seems genuine, not just perversely plastered on.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
Instead of destroying a "classic," as many people feared, Burton has completely reinvented and reinvigorated it, creating something terrific and timeless.

American Experience
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
[E]ntertaining, just a wee bit self indulgent, and highly emotional at times, Jay-Z's farewell performance [is] a sensational, if occasionally shallow, concert experience.

Desperate Living
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
Desperate Living [is] a movie that feels like three separate films fused together. The first and the second are fantastic.

A Dirty Shame
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
A Dirty Shame is a fabulously funny exploration of fetishism, a look at the ever-more-insane ways people find to 'get off'.

Female Trouble
DVD Verdict
Bill Gibron
Combined with...Waters' own private peculiarities, Female Trouble stands along side Pink Flamingos as a sure sign of this director's depth and talent.
