Edmund Lee

We watched them all so you didn’t have to. (With the exception of Fantastic Four. Sorry.)
The Age of Adaline
Would any woman realistically complain if she could live to the age of 107 and retain the impeccable physique of Blake Lively at her prime? Read the full review
All You Need Is Love
Should any pop star wish to stroke his own ego by leaping into the film director’s seat, he could at least handle it more subtly than Richie Jen does with this fawning debut. Read the full review
Angel Whispers
The filmmakers will require more than angelic intervention to atone for this sorry attempt at a serial killer movie. Read the full review
Before We Go
First-time director Chris Evans’ take on Richard Linklater’s elegant, Vienna-set 1995 film Before Sunrise would be a promising entry for a most-boring-film-of-the-year award. Read the full review
Big Fortune Hotel
This horror comedy by definition only is that rare bottom feeder which cogently reminds its viewers that filmmaking is indeed a skilful undertaking. Read the full review
The Boy Next Door
Why Jennifer Lopez decided to star in – as well as co-produce – this lame would-be psychological thriller is part of the continuing mystery. Read the full review
Bride Wars
This Chinese remake of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway’s VIP ticket to Hollywood’s hall of shame has the distinction of being even worse than the original. Read the full review
The Cobbler
On the heels of two films that met with critical indifference and financial disappointment, Adam Sandler has come out with a horrendous comedy minus the laughs. Read the full review
Contracted: Phase II
Poor writing and shaky performances, punctuated only occasionally by serviceable moments of gross-out horror, make this an entirely missable enterprise destined for iTunes obscurity. Read the full review
The Crossing II
To see John Woo churn out such generic bilge provokes a mournful sinking feeling. Read the full review
Dark Places
Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s determination to aim for portentous drama results in a tedious and po-faced snooze that long outstays its welcome. Read the full review
Knock Knock
Although Keanu Reeves has never been noted for his subtlety as a thespian, his performance as a captive husband could easily be bettered by a stationary object like a chair. Read the full review
Knock Knock! Who’s There?
With all due respect to one of Hong Kong’s top actresses from the 1980s and ’90s, Carrie Ng could do well to reconsider her decision to become a filmmaker. Read the full review
The Last Witch Hunter
Vin Diesel, growling his lines in that usual bass register of his, hasn’t made a fantasy movie before – and judging by this effort he probably shouldn’t again. Read the full review
No Escape
This appalling escape movie takes racism towards Asians to an extreme not seen for many years in mainstream films. Read the full review
Pan
Painting Neverland in such drab colours, with a story that revolves around child labour, is hardly a blueprint for a fun-packed movie. Read the full review
Pixels
The concept for Pixels is brilliant. What a pity, then, that someone told Adam Sandler, who pairs with Kevin James to turn it into yet another charmless, witless Sandler vehicle. Read the full review
Point Break
Nobody is craving meatball sandwiches in the new Point Break, a tragically misconceived remake of Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 surf/heist thriller. Read the full review
Return of the Cuckoo
Written and directed by the talentless rom-com veteran Patrick Kong, this tearjerker-wannabe is an opportunistic product that takes great liberty to rain on your treasured memory. Read the full review
S for Sex, S for Secrets
Throw in the inept direction, and this is one veritable cinematic disaster. Read the full review
Song One
Those with suicidal tendencies should steer clear of the film, as the insipid, depressing pseudo-folk music that permeates the movie could push them over the edge. Read the full review
The Transporter Refueled
The Game of Thrones star Ed Skrein takes over the role of Frank Martin, the highly skilled, ask-no-questions driver who dresses smarter than he looks. Read the full review
Triumph in the Skies
Has anyone scored on the plane? That might at least have explained the title of Triumph in the Skies. Read the full review
Virgin Psychics
Boredom sets in quickly amid the constant parade of skimpily dressed women, which may make some viewers feel like patients of the Clockwork Orange school of aversion therapy. Read the full review
We Are Your Friends
With endless talk of BPM and EQ levels, DJ-ing is – at best – inherently uncinematic and, at worst, dull as a dust cover. Read the full review
Have you watched anything else that was so bad it’s screaming to be included? Let us know by leaving a comment.
