RSS Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviews

  • 87% Inception
    Smart, innovative, and thrilling, Inception is that rare summer blockbuster that succeeds viscerally as well as intellectually. […]
  • 29% Takers
    Takers boasts some gripping set pieces and keeps things moving quickly, but its two-dimensional characters, clichéd script, and brazenly derivative plot make it hard to recommend. […]
  • 71% The Last Exorcism
    It doesn't fully deliver on the chilly promise of its Blair Witch-style premise, but The Last Exorcism offers a surprising number of clever thrills. […]
  • 52% The Switch
    The Switch has an interesting premise and a charming cast; unfortunately, it also has a trite script that hews too close to tired rom-com formulas. […]
  • 39% The Expendables
    It makes good on the old-school action it promises, but given all the talent on display, The Expendables should hit harder. […]
  • 6% Vampires Suck
    Witlessly broad and utterly devoid of laughs, Vampires Suck represents a slight step forward for the Friedberg-Seltzer team. […]
