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

Rotten 2/5	Rotten 10%	Dead Man Running (2009)	" The combined effect is amiable rubbish embodied by Dyer, who continues to walk a tightrope between laughing stock and national treasure." — Total Film Posted Oct 30, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 10%	My Life in Ruins (2009)	" Vardalos� peppy charm and the postcard scenery make for pleasant diversions, but there�s no getting away from the script�s mawkishness." — Total Film Posted Oct 4, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	White Lightnin' (2009)	" A psychedelic, sepia-toned horror show, touring the dark corners of his mind and those of the white trash world in which he lives." — Total Film Posted Sep 25, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 66%	Away We Go (2009)	" Away We Go is the cinematic equivalent of Innocent smoothies: it appears to talk like �us�, while all the time reducing us to another consumer demographic." — Little White Lies Posted Sep 18, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 80%	Bandslam (2009)	" Whether your nine-year-old niece will care about that is moot � but she�ll definitely resent the poor ratio of musical numbers to clunky, contrived emotional scenes." — Total Film Posted Aug 14, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 68%	The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)	" It�s impossible to capture the complex whole of a person in one movie (or novel), but Miller uses this limitation to her advantage, by making the mystery of Pippa Lee�s true identity the heart of the film." — Little White Lies Posted Jul 10, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	Looking for Eric (2009)	" It�s got all the heart and humour of a mainstream comedy-drama, with none of the tedious predictability." — Little White Lies Posted Jun 12, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	Tormented (2009)	" A slasher for the Twitter generation, Tormented catches the spirit of the times without being too try-hard. Quips and snogging take precedence over scares, but its commentary on new technology�s power to intimidate is chillingly apt." — Total Film Posted May 22, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 96%	Shifty (2008)	" Mercifully free of Danny Dyer cameos or Guy Ritchie mockneyisms, this works as both an entertaining gangster thriller and a hard-hitting piece of social realism. Absorbing, moving and authentic, Shifty never once strikes a false note." — Total Film Posted Apr 25, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 86%	Flame & Citron (2008)	" Director Ole Christian Madsen has opted rather to make a kind of action thriller-meets-film noir hybrid, and yet visually, at least, it works." — Little White Lies Posted Mar 7, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 86%	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	" You�ll be very glad you were invited because this is a friendly, unpretentious bash, with not a meringue dress in sight. The speeches are funny, the music is ace and the mood falls just the right side of sentimental mushiness." — Little White Lies Posted Jan 23, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 49%	Good Dick (2008)	" The Kevin Smith-esque dude banter might place Dick in a US indie tradition, but there�s also an honesty to the script and performances that�s genuinely original and touching." — Total Film Posted Oct 3, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 50%	Angel (2007)	" Like Ozon�s 8 Women, the costumes are magnificent and Angel�s mansion is a shrine to the gods of bad taste. All that�s missing is a heroine worthy of Bette Davis in her heyday." — Total Film Posted Aug 29, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 24%	Make It Happen (2008)	" It�s all just filler between the dance scenes, which are admittedly fun. Think Pussycat Dolls with slightly more clothes on. Unrepentantly formulaic, but enjoyable all the same." — Total Film Posted Aug 8, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 64%	Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005)	" By the end you'll feel like a bored parent trapped in the front row of the school play." — Total Film Posted Aug 1, 2008
Fresh 3/5	N/A	The Waiting Room (2007)	" *Instead of an exciting big-screen debut, this feels like a Cold Feet* episode, written by a fan of Brief Encounter. Duff deserves a bigger challenge.*" — Total Film* Posted Jun 2, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 11%	Captain Eager and the Mark of Voth (2008)	" This kind of thing has been done before and it�s been done better, too." — Total Film Posted Apr 18, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 46%	Mister Lonely (2008)	" In a choice between traditional and safe and experimental and flawed, opt for the latter every time." — Little White Lies Posted Mar 12, 2008
Rotten 1/5	N/A	Lady Godiva (2008)	" Avoid like you would a naked nutter bouncing down the street." — Total Film Posted Jan 24, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 62%	Anna M. (2007)	" Unfortunately, as director Michel Spinosa has discovered, making a Fatal Attraction-esque thriller that�s also a serious study of mental illness is a lot harder than it sounds." — Total Film Posted Nov 14, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	Earth (2007)	" Every frame shouts, �save the planet!� louder than a roaring pride of Kalahari lions � and when you�ve seen the film, you�ll know just how loud that is." — Total Film Posted Nov 14, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 53%	The Walker (2007)	" Harrelson is an entertaining mix of Old South camp and quiet pathos but neither he nor the script's desultory attempts at post-9/11 commentary are enough to elevate it above the level of a pretentious John Grisham adaptation." — Little White Lies Posted Aug 10, 2007
