Dawn Taylor

Dawn Taylor's reviews only count toward the Tomatometer® when published at Tomatometer-approved publication(s).
Biography:

Dawn reviewed her first film, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," at age 9, pronouncing it "not without charm, but such a deviation from the book that only hardcore Dick Van Dyke lovers will succumb to it's treacly charms." She has continued to take a similarly jaundiced view of popular movies ever since. Her hobbies include cooking and eating food, collecting disturbing toys, and mocking others. Her husband is very understanding of her quirks, but her cat is not. The dog is oblivious. Dawn's favorite holiday is Halloween (it's also her wedding anniversary) and she's fond of the scent of lavender. Her lucky number is five.

Favorites:

Despite my sardonic nature, my favorites are far too numerous to list. First to come to mind are "Chinatown," "A Fish Called Wanda," the original "Cape Fear," "Taxi Driver," and the Evil Dead films. I also have an inexplicable, perverse love for the movie "Tombstone."

Robin Hood (2010) 43% “It's a little like making a Johnny Appleseed movie, but having him plant peach trees instead because peaches tested better with the 15-to-27 demographic.” – Cinematical May 14, 2010 Full Review Furry Vengeance (2010) 8% “Sometimes, movies of this nature are quite funny -- Gore Verbinski's Mouse Hunt comes to mind -- but usually they are not. This one isn't.” – Cinematical Apr 30, 2010 Full Review The Losers (2010) 47% 1/5 “It's not only stupidly written, it's shot like [director Sylvain] White walked away and handed the reins to a brain-damaged orangatan.” – eFilmCritic.com Apr 23, 2010 Full Review Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) 64% “There's a fair amount of genuine retro fun to be had here.” – Cinematical Mar 26, 2010 Full Review The Work of Director Michel Gondry (2003) 100% 4/5 “[Gondry's] ingenuity and technical acumen raise these works from mere promotional tools to cinematic art.” – DVDJournal.com Jan 21, 2010 Full Review Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) 81% B- “” – Movies.com Oct 28, 2009 Full Review Amelia (2009) 19% C- “” – Movies.com Oct 23, 2009 Full Review Law Abiding Citizen (2009) 26% 2.5/5 “Butler's character starts murdering people simply to get them out of his way so that his diabolically exact and completely preposterous plan can fully bloom.” – Movies.com Oct 16, 2009 Full Review Whip It (2009) 86% B “Juliette Lewis and her crazy eyes pretty much make any movie better.” – Movies.com Oct 2, 2009 Full Review Love Happens (2009) 16% C- “” – Movies.com Sep 18, 2009 Full Review The Proposal (2009) 45% “The acting is decent, the writing competent, and the DP kept everything in focus most of the time. This may seem like faint praise, but given the state of the modern American rom-com, that places it head-and-shoulders above most of the genre.” – Cinema Sideshow Aug 26, 2009 Full Review Shorts (2009) 46% C+ “” – Movies.com Aug 21, 2009 Full Review A Perfect Getaway (2009) 62% B “” – Movies.com Aug 7, 2009 Full Review The Collector (2009) 29% D+ “” – Movies.com Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Funny People (2009) 69% 4/5 “This is the most adult, sophisticated, smartly funny film Apatow's made yet.” – Movies.com Jul 31, 2009 Full Review G-Force (2009) 21% C+ “” – Movies.com Jul 24, 2009 Full Review Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) 46% B- “” – Movies.com Jul 1, 2009 Full Review Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) 24% “Yeah, there's the scene with the zombie dogs, but most of the film involves scientists sitting around a big table talking about what they plan to do next.” – FADPOV.com Sep 24, 2007 Full Review The Brave One (2007) 43% 3/5 “(Since) most ticket-buyers will fail to see beyond the gun violence to the more human story, The Brave One is simply a competent failure by a very good director.” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Transformers (2007) 57% 1/5 “Considering that the whole movie is being sold as nothing more than a CGI version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, one kind of expects there to be more rockin' and sockin' and less funny business with Optimus Prime destroying Mom's flower bed.” – eFilmCritic.com Jul 3, 2007 Full Review Lucky You (2007) 28% 2/5 “Hanson's an excellent director, and there are swaths of "Lucky You" that are admittedly very well executed. But without a main character to root for, a believable romance or any reason to give a crap about the story, the whole thing just rolls over on its” – eFilmCritic.com May 4, 2007 Full Review The Prisoner of Zenda (1937) 100% 3.5/5 “Hope's tale of identical cousins, treachery, and adventure touches something in the cultural consciousness in the same manner as Shakespeare's plays.” – DVDJournal.com Apr 10, 2007 Full Review The Naked City (1948) 86% 4/5 “... a seminal work that's not to be missed.” – DVDJournal.com Apr 10, 2007 Full Review Fast Food Nation (2006) 49% 2/5 “Linklater's Fast Food movie covers all of Schlosser's bases, but is surprisingly anemic in its execution.” – DVDJournal.com Apr 10, 2007 Full Review You, Me and Dupree (2006) 20% “The slow decline of Owen Wilson's career continues with this pedestrian sitcom-on-celluloid.” – Portland Tribune Apr 10, 2007 Full Review
