Super Duper Bad: The Worst Films of 2007

By PopMatters Staff

From Good Luck Chuck to Julie Taymor's ill-advised Beatlesque '60s tribute Across the Universe, PopMatters presents the dreck of 2007. [11 January 2008]

Redacted

By Cynthia Fuchs

As ham-fisted and angry and awkward as it often is, Redacted has something more on its mind than telling another bad-day-in-country story. It doubts the very possibility of telling truth in a war zone. [16 November 2007]

Murder à la Mod / The Moving Finger (1986)

By Brian Holcomb

While not perfect by any means, Murder A La Mod should be essential viewing for fans of Brian De Palma's work. [30 October 2006]

The Black Dahlia (2006)

By Cynthia Fuchs

Why the detectives are obsessed with the murder is never clear, though it may have to do with the vacuum of a movie swirling around them: they've got nothing else to do. [15 September 2006]

Hi, Mom (1970)

By Tim O'Neil

It is slightly odd to see Robert DeNiro so young and handsome, giving a performance so deftly naturalistic. [22 December 2004]

The Untouchables: Special Collector’s Edition (1987)

By Leigh H. Edwards

It's a story of a (nearly lone) lawman standing up against the bad guys, replete with a High Noon type showdown. [1 November 2004]

Femme Fatale (2002)

By Cynthia Fuchs

Rebecca Romijn-Stamos' central function is looking great and so, confounding various men around her. [7 November 2002]

Mission to Mars (2000)

By Tobias Peterson

Mission to Mars (2000)
