Movie Summaries or Movie Reviews?

“It’s marginally better than The Cat in the Hat, though that’s like saying suffocation is mildly more amusing than drowning.”
Garfield: The Movie, Sean O’Connell, Filmcritic.com


“M. Night Shyamalan has nothing to say, but he’s going to keep right on saying it until people make him stop.” 
The Village, Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle 

“Built to make money but hardly worthy of serious examination. Avatar isn’t only critic-proof, it resists serious criticism. You might as well analyze a beach ball.”
Avatar, Philip Martin, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 

“Eleven years and several progressively more dreadful movies after Signs, director M. Night Shyamalan would be lucky to get a gig directing traffic.” 
After Earth, Lou Lumenick, New York Post 

"I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than 'The Brown Bunny.'" 
The Brown Bunny, Roger Ebert, Chicago Tribune
