Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
6.5/10	41%	Dark Shadows (2012)	" Your enjoyment may depend entirely on how much seeing Depp as a vampire makes up for the weak storytelling." — ShockTillYouDrop.com Posted May 8, 2012
8.5/10	93%	Marvel's The Avengers (2012)	" Joss Whedon has successfully fulfilled every Avengers fanboy's dream and that alone is a good enough reason to forgive some of the movie's earlier faults. " — ComingSoon.net Posted May 1, 2012
5/10	55%	Safe (2012)	" Jason Statham is the best thing going for a movie full of bad clich�-driven writing which offers absolutely nothing new to the action genre." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 23, 2012
7.5/10	63%	The Five-Year Engagement (2012)	" One of the more palatable relationship comedies due to the notable chemistry between Segel and Blunt and a supporting cast who are constantly stealing scenes." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 19, 2012
8.5/10	94%	Marley (2012)	" A thoroughly fascinating film and one of the better biographical docs you're likely to see this year. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 18, 2012
5/10	42%	Battleship (2012)	" Hasbro's classic game is clumsily shoehorned into a movie that literally takes every single Michael Bay movie and squooshes them into a formulaic action blockbuster." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 13, 2012
8/10	36%	Lockout (2012)	" A surprisingly workable '90s throwback that delivers on far more levels than other such attempts." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 11, 2012
8.5/10	33%	The Lady (2012)	" A beautifully majestic film ... Yeoh's powerhouse performance [is] the type of acting that tends to warrant awards attention." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 10, 2012
9/10	90%	The Cabin in the Woods (2012)	" A fantastically-crafted debut by Goddard with so many moving parts, one would expect a far more experienced director would be necessary to pull it off." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 9, 2012
7.5/10	43%	American Reunion (2012)	" A fun trip down memory lane that offers enough nostalgia, laughs and drama to the characters whom you're likely to have forgotten how much you loved." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 4, 2012
8.5/10	83%	Comic-Con: Episode IV - A Fan's Hope (2012)	" A surprisingly poignant perspective on the fanboy mecca and really the next best thing to being there." — ComingSoon.net Posted Apr 4, 2012
3.5/10	33%	Intruders (2012)	" An absolute mess, completely unsatisfying and a waste of time." — ComingSoon.net Posted Mar 29, 2012
8/10	82%	Goon (2012)	" Leaves you feeling that they have made a hockey movie as worthy to the sport as Slapshot." — ComingSoon.net Posted Mar 27, 2012
7/10	84%	The Hunger Games (2012)	" Gary Ross has generally done a decent job, although you'll certainly get more out of the movie if you've read the book and can fill in the blanks." — ComingSoon.net Posted Mar 19, 2012

8.5/10	52%	John Carter (2012)	" Andrew Stanton has created a fantastic and magical epic that makes "John Carter" the rightful heir to the Star Wars legacy." — ComingSoon.net Posted Mar 7, 2012
8/10	85%	21 Jump Street (2012)	" Vibrant and fresh due to the brilliant pairing of Hill and Tatum, the type of classic comedy duo that works so well it makes every moment fun and entertaining." — ComingSoon.net Posted Mar 4, 2012
7.5/10	60%	Wanderlust (2012)	" A hidden comedy gem that will appeal as much to fans of Wain and Rudd's earlier work together as those who just enjoy good raunchy laughs." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 22, 2012
7/10	42%	Silent House (2012)	" The type of horror film that will build a substantial unscalable wall between those who love it and those who hate it, although even the latter group should be able to appreciate it for the incredible craft at work." — ShockTillYouDrop.com Posted Feb 22, 2012
8/10	55%	Being Flynn (2012)	" There is absolute brilliance at work here both in the way Weitz tells Nick Flynn's story and how he gets such fantastic performances out of De Niro and Dano." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 21, 2012
4.5/10	18%	Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)	" There's a fine line between jarring and unwatchable that Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance gleefully straddles which might make one wonder who exactly was meant to enjoy this experience. " — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 16, 2012
4.5/10	25%	This Means War (2012)	" An insulting mess that expects the IQ and taste of all women to be so easy to manipulate they'll accept or laugh at anything if it involves men humiliating themselves on their behalf." — ComingSoon.net Posted Feb 15, 2012
9/10	86%	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	54%	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	12%	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	65%	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

7/10	100%	Compliance (2012)	" 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 (2012)	" 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 (2012)	" 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	81%	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	46%	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	84%	The Raid: Redemption (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	5%	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	47%	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	77%	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	23%	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	76%	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	80%	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	83%	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	67%	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
