« Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 97%	Trouble the Water (2008)	" Trouble the Water's greatest of its many values is its incisive record of how a massive catastrophe is really a story of multiple individuals, families, blocks and neighborhoods." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Aug 22, 2008
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 68%	Pineapple Express (2008)	" The funniest stoner movie ever made -- and, so far, the most hilarious comedy of 2008." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Aug 6, 2008
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 95%	Offside (2006)	" *Greatness is a word often associated with Iranian cinema. But fun? Practically never. Jafar Panahi's exuberant and subversive Offside, however, scores on both points." — Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Mar 23, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 83%	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	" *Storytelling, performance and visual literacy this brilliant may be out of style, but I can't imagine anyone who sees Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang* not coming out panting for more.*" — Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Oct 21, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 93%	Saraband (2005)	" Watching old hands Ullmann and Josephson hit every nuance of feeling with consummate grace brings an odd giddiness to an otherwise sad tale." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jul 8, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 87%	Tell Them Who You Are (2005)	" One of the most clear-eyed and intimate Hollywood portraits ever filmed." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 13, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 90%	Turtles Can Fly (2005)	" Further proof that Ghobadi is one of those great artists that comes forth during his people's time of crisis." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Feb 18, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 91%	Million Dollar Baby (2004)	" While I wouldn't place Million Dollar Baby on quite as exalted a pedestal as last year's Mystic River and 1992's Unforgiven ... this unlikely female boxer movie may well be the best-directed of Eastwood's filmmaking career." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Dec 15, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 87%	The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi/Sonatine (2004)	" *Stone-faced Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano blurs the line between insanity and genius with The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi." — Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jul 23, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 89%	Good Bye, Lenin! (2004)	" Wisely understands that it's our delusions which often get us through this difficult, ridiculous life, and they therefore require something akin to the same nurturing as our deepest, most rewarding loves." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Feb 27, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 71%	Dogville (2003)	" What starts out as distracting works to bring us in closer to what we should be concentrating on: the passion of Nicole Kidman's tragic heroine, and what her suffering says about the hope of all mankind." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Mar 26, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 71%	Elephant (2003)	" It looks both unrelentingly and obliquely at something we all wish never occurred and dispassionately touches on every reason we've dreamed up as to why, while stubbornly refusing to isolate any of them as a clear, blamable cause." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 24, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 85%	Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)	" A movie that will separate the true cinema lovers from ... well, just about everyone who has another set of values." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 10, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 87%	Mystic River (2003)	" As rich and bleeding a work as [Eastwood has] ever made." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 10, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 94%	Concert for George (2003)	" It's made with such unobtrusive expertise that it is truly the next best thing to having been there." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 3, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 86%	Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary (2003)	" Degree of difficulty: off the charts. Level of achievement: ditto." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Jun 27, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 98%	Finding Nemo (2003)	" I really can't remember an animated feature in which the voice work sounded so accomplished, redolent with emotional subtleties and crack comic timing." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 30, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 93%	Marooned in Iraq (2003)	" The Kurdish filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi made an impressive feature debut with the tragic tale of child smugglers A Time for Drunken Horses. Events in his second movie, Marooned in Iraq, are even more heart-rending." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 23, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Rotten 59%	Down With Love (2003)	" Expertly mimics a disreputable midcentury movie subgenre, then imbues it with the kind of upfront sexual knowingness that could never speak its name back in the just-starting-to-swing 1960s." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 16, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 88%	Russian Ark (2002)	" *The mighty audacity of Russian Ark* makes for a singular moviegoing experience. Its artistic richness ensures an unforgettable one as well.*" — Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Jan 10, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	Talk to Her (2002)	" By the end of his crazy, heart-thrilling tale, Almodovar has delivered us through bawdy humor, art appreciation, specific human connections and fascinating philosophy to a state resembling spirituality." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Dec 13, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	Insomnia (2002)	" Williams' devious, subtly psychotic turn here is some of the finest work of his career, and beautifully matches, in their scenes together, Pacino's uncharacteristically whispery portrayal of a man losing every one of his bearings." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted May 24, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 96%	Time Out (2002)	" Time Out is an exhaustively complex look at what work, and the lack of it, means and does to an individual. That these effects are rarely predictable and always persuasive marks the picture as a thoughtful original." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Apr 12, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Rotten 30%	Very Annie Mary (2001)	" *Impossible as it may sound, this film's heart is even more embracing than Monty, if only because it accepts nasty behavior and severe flaws as part of the human condition." — Los Angeles Daily News* Posted Mar 29, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 99%	Metropolis (1927)	" The story has lost none of its metaphorical punch." — Los Angeles Daily News Posted Oct 4, 2002
