Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	42%	Battleship (2012)	" Director Peter Berg engages in Michael Bay fetishism the way one might say Ed Gein engaged in female festishism." — Badass Digest Posted May 15, 2012
	66%	The Dictator (2012)	" The Dictator feels almost exactly like a Saturday Night Live movie from the 90s." — Badass Digest Posted May 11, 2012
	93%	Marvel's The Avengers (2012)	" The Avengers proves these guys truly are Earth's Mightiest Heroes." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 29, 2012
	75%	Sound of My Voice (2012)	" You may find yourself a dedicated follower of Maggie in the end. I know I am." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 27, 2012
	47%	The Three Stooges (2012)	" If you're a Stooges fan, go see the movie. If you like crude, silly slapstick, go see the movie. If you have a stick up your ass, go see Titanic." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 14, 2012
	43%	American Reunion (2012)	" I would accuse American Reunion of being misogynistic, but the movie seems to hold all of humanity in contempt, not just women." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 6, 2012
	84%	The Hunger Games (2012)	" The Hunger Games is largely a triumph of smart, brave, timely, heady science fiction that recalls the 60s and 70s era of big idea scifi." — Badass Digest Posted Mar 20, 2012
	85%	21 Jump Street (2012)	" It would have been impressive if the 21 Jump Street movie was any good. The fact that it's flat-out great feels like showboating by directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller." — Badass Digest Posted Mar 12, 2012
	90%	The Cabin in the Woods (2012)	" You'll feel like horror is revitalized, like its importance is more obvious than ever. That might be Cabin's greatest achievement, reminding us why we love and need this genre. " — Badass Digest Posted Mar 10, 2012
	60%	Wanderlust (2012)	" Hilarious." — Badass Digest Posted Mar 2, 2012
	52%	John Carter (2012)	" Often spectacular, with stunning action and thrilling moments, it's a film that captures the pulpy, swashbuckling sensibilities of Burroughs while updating much of the whiz bang for an audience a century older than the original novels." — Badass Digest Posted Mar 1, 2012
	18%	Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)	" This is a movie of shattering ineptitude, starting at the script and reaching into every aspect of the cheap, rushed, shy-looking production." — Badass Digest* Posted Feb 17, 2012
	54%	Safe House (2012)	" Safe House will have you on the edge of your seat - so you can spring out of it the second the credits roll." — Badass Digest Posted Feb 9, 2012
	85%	Chronicle (2012)	" A strong, well-told science fiction movie that uses its fantastical ideas to explore grounded human emotions. It's got vivid action and it has cool concepts, but most of it all it has great characters." — Badass Digest Posted Feb 3, 2012
	83%	Bullhead (2012)	" Fascinating and beautiful and brutal" — Badass Digest Posted Feb 2, 2012
	78%	The Grey (2012)	" If we had one like this a month - lean, smart, muscular, thematically coherent and filled with good character actors - the cinema would be in remarkably good shape. " — Badass Digest Posted Jan 27, 2012
	87%	The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)	" The ultimate poseur movie... [A cinematic] temporary tattoo, a way of feeling underground without ever committing to anything real." — Badass Digest Posted Dec 24, 2011
	77%	War Horse (2011)	" There are sequences of such breathtaking skill and confidence that I believe the film must be seen by everyone who ever hopes to make, or even talk intelligently, about movies." — Badass Digest Posted Dec 23, 2011
	80%	Young Adult (2011)	" Wickedly funny, the kind of semi-dark comedy that really gets right up to the line of mean-spiritedness." — CHUD Posted Dec 23, 2011
	91%	Corman's World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel (2011)	" Watching the legendarily cool Jack Nicholson literally CRYING about Roger Corman will put a lump in the throat of even the most jaded viewer." — Badass Digest Posted Dec 22, 2011
	93%	Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011)	" A legitimately great action film, a thrilling and fun bit of exquisitely crafted escapism. It might be the best in the series, and it's without a doubt the best since the first film." — Badass Digest Posted Dec 14, 2011
	60%	Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)	" the touches that made the first film a surprise seem to have disappeared. The Holmes/Watson relationship is now shrill, the facade of a mystery story has been chucked for a nation-hopping action adventure, and the volume has been turned up to 12." — Badass Digest Posted Dec 12, 2011
	98%	The Artist (2011)	" If The Artist truly were from the period it's about, it would be a minor film that occasionally played on TCM at 3AM, and about which even hardcore silent film fans wouldn't care much." — Badass Digest Posted Nov 29, 2011
	67%	We Bought a Zoo (2011)	" We Bought A Zoo is targeted at people who cry during TV commercials, who get misty eyed in the greeting card aisle. " — Badass Digest Posted Nov 27, 2011
	94%	Hugo (2011)	" A deeply felt, hugely personal, glorious and heart-swelling ode to the magic of cinema and stories: the way they bring us together, allow us to understand each other, allow us to see our dreams come true. " — Badass Digest Posted Nov 25, 2011
	96%	The Muppets (2011)	" I don't know why The Muppets faded away over the last couple of decades, but [this film] proves that they still have plenty of heart and smart-assness to give to a new generation and beyond." — CHUD Posted Nov 21, 2011
	26%	Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)	" The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 might be the most beautiful and well made bad film in history. " — Badass Digest Posted Nov 18, 2011
	67%	Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)	" PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 feels the most like a real film, even though it sticks to the exhausted found footage format of the first two." — Badass Digest Posted Oct 19, 2011
	81%	Outrage (2011)	" To me there's no better praise you can give to a crime film -- when a hood gets his comeuppance you don't feel thrilled but bummed out." — Ain't It Cool Movie Reviews Posted Oct 18, 2011
	70%	Footloose (2011)	" Every dance sequence in the film is simply spectacular. " — Badass Digest Posted Oct 13, 2011
	30%	The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011)	" Depraved and disgusting but intellectually active, The Human Centipede 2 never fully coheres as a movie but works incredibly as a screed of cultural critique." — Badass Digest Posted Oct 7, 2011
	85%	The Ides of March (2011)	" Smart and as exciting as a thriller, with killer performances. Ryan Gosling is magnificent." — Badass Digest Posted Oct 7, 2011
	93%	50/50 (2011)	" Emotional without being cloying, honest and funny and low key." — Badass Digest Posted Sep 30, 2011
	92%	Take Shelter (2011)	" Playing like the excruciatingly long first act of a better movie, Take Shelter long overstays its welcome while confusing narrative indolence for tension. " — Badass Digest Posted Sep 27, 2011
	60%	Real Steel (2011)	" ROCKY with rivets." — Badass Digest Posted Sep 27, 2011
—	——	Cyclone (Terror Storm) (Tornado) (2005)	— CHUD Posted Sep 22, 2011
	84%	Contagion (2011)	" The scariest cinematic image of the year is a lingering shot of a grimy pole on a public bus. " — Badass Digest Posted Sep 7, 2011
	25%	Apollo 18 (2011)	" In space no one can hear you yawn." — Badass Digest Posted Sep 2, 2011
	74%	Fright Night (2011)	" Badly written, lethargically directed, smothering the few fun performances that could have saved it, Fright Night 3D sucks." — Badass Digest Posted Aug 17, 2011
	83%	Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)	" The technology and performances that bring the apes to life make the film a must-see for any modern movie fan, but it's the emotion and humanity of Caesar's story that makes the film a must-see for any movie fan at all." — Badass Digest Posted Aug 5, 2011
	72%	Bellflower (2011)	" Muddled, overlong, indulgent in uninteresting ways and eventually afraid to go any place provocative, Bellflower has only a cool car and a promise of future filmmaking from talented first timers. " — Badass Digest Posted Aug 2, 2011
	90%	Attack the Block (2011)	" A perfect genre gem, a movie that works a crowd the way a great song works a crowd. Paced beautifully, written smartly and shot with style and energy." — Badass Digest Posted Jul 28, 2011
	44%	Cowboys & Aliens (2011)	" This movie is the definition of a dud, something that just sits inert on screen." — Badass Digest Posted Jul 27, 2011
	79%	Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)	" A rollicking old-fashioned adventure story - two fisted, over the top and filled with retro scifi flair." — Badass Digest Posted Jul 20, 2011
	64%	Another Earth (2011)	" That Another Earth disappoints is crushing." — Badass Digest Posted Jul 18, 2011
	58%	Red State (2011)	" The film alternates between being heavy handed and moronic, and it seems to be informed by a 15 year olds' understanding of Waco filtered through the paranoid ramblings of a stoner." — Badass Digest Posted Jul 15, 2011
	96%	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011)	" It's completely satisfying on the level of an FX-driven summer blockbuster. But most importantly it's satisfying on the level of a great drama." — CHUD Posted Jul 14, 2011
	69%	Horrible Bosses (2011)	" It could almost be argued that Horrible Bosses' general middle of the road, vanilla, just-good-enough nature is actually on purpose, a reflection of the lead characters' own qualities." — CHUD Posted Jul 6, 2011
	35%	Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)	" Transformers 3 is the Michele Bachmann of cinema. Despite all of its staggering flaws it will have its supporters, and its success is part of a trend of accepting less and pretending it's more." — Badass Digest Posted Jun 28, 2011
