Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
9/10	92%	Chico & Rita (2012)	" An incredibly beautiful story that uses animation to truly push boundaries in what types of stories can be told in the format." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 8, 2012
7/10	53%	Safe House (2012)	" Those looking for a relatively enjoyable spy film with some solid action sequences probably won't be too disappointed with the by-the-books nature of Safe House." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 8, 2012
5.5/10	13%	W.E. (2012)	" The historic storyline is far better done than the present day one, which ultimately leads to half a decent movie and another half that's almost unbearable." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 3, 2012
6.5/10	85%	Chronicle (2012)	" Only works as long as you're willing to overlook some of the obvious discrepancies in the use of its format and feel it's a story worth telling regardless." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 2, 2012
5.5/10	64%	The Woman in Black (2012)	" If you're looking to watch Daniel Radcliffe walk around a house and aren't necessarily looking for a deep or scary movie, than maybe this is for you." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 2, 2012
8.5/10	73%	Kill List (2012)	" Harking back to great British horror classics like The Wicker Man with a similar level of absolute terror in the last act. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 1, 2012
8.5/10	76%	The Innkeepers (2012)	" A textbook study on how to do horror in a way that offers scares and surprises at every turn. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 1, 2012
7/10	100%	Compliance ()	" As disturbing as it is, it's even moreso when you realize it's based on true events. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 30, 2012
8/10	——	The Words ()	" A strong drama that may seem simple at first, but it's likely to leave you wondering whether what you watched was real or whether the various stories were all just layers of fiction." — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 30, 2012
6/10	33%	Hello I Must Be Going ()	" It's hard to fully appreciate [the film] just for Lynskey's performance, which is often it's one saving grace. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 30, 2012
7.5/10	67%	Wish You Were Here ()	" The type of heavy drama that might not necessarily play for mass audiences but the skill of filmmaking and talented cast should bring the film some critical prestige." — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 30, 2012
5.5/10	——	Where Do We Go Now? (2012)	" It feels like a wasted effort that such a strong filmmaker would needlessly water down a serious topic for easier consumption like this." — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 30, 2012
8/10	100%	The Raid (2012)	" Evans proves he's the real deal with impressive visuals and fast-paced setpieces on par with Guy Ritchie, Park Chan-wook and Quentin Tarantino. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 30, 2012
9.5/10	94%	Sing Your Song (2012)	" An incredibly powerful film that will inform anyone who doesn't realize the huge contribution Belafonte has made to making the world a better place." — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 11, 2012
2.5/10	0%	Beneath The Darkness (2012)	" Bruce Wilkinson, the film's late writer and executive producer, is more than likely turning in his own grave. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Jan 5, 2012
8.5/10	99%	A Separation (2011)	" Far more than just the simple domestic drama it pretends to be, filled with subliminally veiled statements that add up to something with far more layers and levels. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 27, 2011
5/10	45%	Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2012)	" Has some nice moments but overall is a failure in its exploration of the subject matter and it feels more exploitative than entertaining." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 19, 2011
7.5/10	54%	The Iron Lady (2012)	" Meryl Streep once again proves to be working on another plane than the actors around her." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 18, 2011
7/10	76%	War Horse (2011)	" Takes some time to find its footing, but its emotive equine star and a wonderful last act will ultimately win over even the chronically cynical." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 18, 2011
7.5/10	93%	Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011)	" With a fun group of characters and cool set pieces that take advantage of the IMAX format, it always manages to entertain despite the rather lazy central plot that may have been more effective say 25 years ago." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 14, 2011
9/10	87%	The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)	" Another piece of brilliant filmmaking by Fincher that along with Se7en and Zodiac form the definitive box set exemplifying the perfect crime investigation trilogy." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 12, 2011
6.5/10	22%	The Sitter (2011)	" It's hard to find much originality in The Sitter due to its overused high concept premise, but Jonah Hill's voice and David Gordon Green's vision do shine through." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 8, 2011
7.5/10	80%	We Need to Talk About Kevin (2012)	" A fine artistic statement from Ramsay that will shake you up with performances by Swinton and Miller that effectively hit their mark." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 7, 2011
6.5/10	82%	Young Adult (2011)	" Any potential in a character like Mavis Gary feels squandered by the character failing to win you over or give you any reason to want to follow her story arc." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 6, 2011
6/10	84%	Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)	" Its frustrating miasma of a plot doesn't necessarily translate to a single film, and trying to keep track of what's going on tends to detract from generally solid performances from some of Britain's finest." — ComingSoon.net Posted Dec 2, 2011
7.5/10	63%	We Bought a Zoo (2011)	" Crowe finds just the right blend of easy crowd-pleasing moments while maintaining the strong sense of drama and character dynamics in which he excels." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 27, 2011
6.5/10	96%	The Muppets (2011)	" We'll give Jason Segel et al credit for trying and it's incredibly hard to fully fault a movie with such a terrific finale." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 23, 2011
8.5/10	97%	The Artist (2011)	" A joyous crowd-pleasing movie that pays homage to the great silent film era in a clever way that offers multiple layers." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 23, 2011
8/10	94%	Hugo (2011)	" One of the first movies since Avatar that absolutely must be experienced in 3D, it takes a bit longer to pull you into its world but leaves you fully satisfied with the experience. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 23, 2011
7.5/10	92%	Arthur Christmas (2011)	" Cute and clever and there are enough heartwarming moments that will bring a tear to your eye." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 22, 2011
7/10	75%	The Adventures of Tintin (2011)	" An interesting (and sometimes aggravating) mix of what made Herg�'s stories so pleasurable with Steven Spielberg's knack for big budget action epics." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 11, 2011
6/10	44%	J. Edgar (2011)	" There is skill and craft to every scene and DiCaprio's performance is solid, but J. Edgar never feels like some of Eastwood's most focused work." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 8, 2011
5.5/10	78%	Melancholia (2011)	" The strong character dynamics we've seen in von Trier's previous work is spoiled when filtered through the seemingly addled mind that brought us Antichrist." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 7, 2011
7/10	68%	Tower Heist (2011)	" Enough funny, clever and downright entertaining moments to make it a nice bit of escapist fun." — ComingSoon.net Posted Nov 2, 2011
4/10	37%	In Time (2011)	" In a year full of great science fiction, In Time is weak, moronic and dumbed down to the point of diluting anything that may have made it remotely interesting. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 28, 2011
6/10	50%	The Rum Diary (2011)	" Fans of Hunter S. Thompson may appreciate the way his words are realized, but the story is fairly flat and there's a lot of dry exposition." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 26, 2011
8.5/10	47%	Anonymous (2011)	" A glorious revelation of a film that could very well be considered Roland Emmerich's Moulin Rouge!" — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 26, 2011
8/10	84%	My Week with Marilyn (2011)	" Starts out as light and innocuous fare, but then transforms into something quite special." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 13, 2011
7/10	36%	The Thing (2011)	" Van Heijningen does a fine job recreating the look and tone of Carpenter's film, and there's enough alien-infested craziness to keep this prequel entertaining." — ShockTillYouDrop.com Posted Oct 12, 2011
7.5/10	80%	Shame (2011)	" Shame may not feel like it carries as much immediate weight or impact as Hunger but considering how much is left open for interpretation, it ends up being just as thought-provoking." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 7, 2011
6/10	31%	The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011)	" Other than the oddity that is the main character and the inspired META aspect of the sequel, it really doesn't add anything to the premise that absolutely must be seen." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 7, 2011
8.5/10	75%	The Swell Season (2011)	" Very personal and intimate, giving you insight into the world of these fascinating musicians. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 5, 2011
4.5/10	9%	1911 (2011)	" You're likely to come away from it not knowing that much more about the 1911 Chinese Revolution and caring even less." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 5, 2011
9.5/10	69%	Blackthorn (2011)	" It's quite surprising that it takes two foreign filmmakers working in a foreign country to deliver one of the most compelling Westerns we've seen in quite some time." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 5, 2011
8.5/10	59%	Real Steel (2011)	" Delivers a powerful dramatic punch without ever feeling like it needs to dumb itself down to win over its audience." — ComingSoon.net Posted Oct 5, 2011
8/10	70%	Footloose (2011)	" Will win you over with its refreshingly fun take on a beloved '80s classic as it showcases some fine new talent." — ComingSoon.net Posted Sep 30, 2011
7.5/10	71%	Carnage (2011)	" A quick and witty character-based piece showcasing four unquestionable talents." — ComingSoon.net Posted Sep 28, 2011
7.5/10	94%	Weekend (2011)	" A surprisingly strong film about love and sexual identity that leaves a lasting impression." — ComingSoon.net Posted Sep 23, 2011
5/10	53%	Puncture (2011)	" The topic of safety needles is certainly an important one but not one that makes for very interesting drama; the Kassens would have been better off making a doc and having Evans narrate it." — ComingSoon.net Posted Sep 23, 2011
