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

Rotten 2/4	Fresh 95%	The Maid (2009)	" Fun for a while but increasingly tedious..." — Seattle Times Posted Dec 3, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 73%	William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe (2010)	" *Kunstler's accomplishments, principles and courage are all here in Disturbing the Universe. But there is something else that adds an unexpected layer of emotional complexity." — Seattle Times* Posted Nov 19, 2009
Rotten 1/4	Fresh 60%	Pirate Radio (2009)	" *In just about every respect, Pirate Radio* is less than seaworthy.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Nov 12, 2009
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 31%	Irene in Time (2009)	" A disappointingly monotonous weepie." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 29, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 59%	The Headless Woman (2009)	" One of the film's great strengths is Martel's compressed visual power. Her ability to capture the disorientation of seeing the world from the seclusion of a car's interior is strangely compelling..." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 23, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 47%	Ong Bak 2 (2009)	" Features a far more soulful and charismatic Jaa immersed in a ceaseless whoosh of extraordinary fight scenes involving everything from pebbles to elephants." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 23, 2009
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 29%	Free Style (2009)	" *If the world truly needs a family-friendly drama built around motocross racing, it might as well be Free Style,* a wholly competent film from journeyman director William Dear.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Oct 8, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 57%	9 (2009)	" 9 reaches the tedium threshold quite quickly." — Seattle Times Posted Sep 8, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 85%	World's Greatest Dad (2009)	" Ultimately, Dad finds a somewhat unsatisfying and overblown way out of [its] intriguing ambivalence. But that's the only disappointing note in an otherwise smart and observant movie about reckless acts of adult survival." — Seattle Times Posted Sep 3, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 75%	Cold Souls (2009)	" Inspired by one of [director] Barthes' dreams, Cold Souls has the kind of twisted but clever self-awareness of Being John Malkovich." — Seattle Times Posted Aug 21, 2009
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 38%	X Games 3D: The Movie (2009)	" Those of us who prefer the winter edition of the X Games -- snowboarding and all that � would be happy to watch a counterpart film to this one, with a bit of snow. Just a hint, ESPN." — Seattle Times Posted Aug 21, 2009
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 90%	District 9 (2009)	" The film all but gets away from [the director] as battles take over and opportunities to explore the story as more than the sum of its weapons disappears." — Seattle Times Posted Aug 14, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 80%	Bandslam (2009)	" *An utterly charming work of pure pop exuberance, Bandslam* is full of unexpected pleasures set to a surprisingly retro soundtrack.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Aug 14, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 60%	Paper Heart (2009)	" Fact and fiction intermingle in Paper Heart, but discovering where the line is drawn is the tricky part." — Seattle Times Posted Aug 6, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 84%	Soul Power (2009)	" Soul Power is the indispensable companion film to Leon Gast's thrilling 1996 documentary When We Were Kings." — Seattle Times Posted Jul 30, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 81%	Lake Tahoe (2009)	" Fortunately, Eimbcke's laconic if fanciful storytelling strengths ring more true than his somewhat artificial and hackneyed visual style, which includes a penchant for lengthy wide-angle shots that make the world look like a feverishly alien place." — Seattle Times Posted Jul 23, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 24%	G-Force (2009)	" Parents already in dread of taking their children to this 3-D kids' movie by uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer will find much to appreciate, though G-Force is lots of fun all around." — Seattle Times Posted Jul 23, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 81%	Unmistaken Child (2009)	" [Director] Baratz's access to every stage of the process -- from Zopa's selection of a candidate to the testing of that candidate to the blessing of the Dalai Lama himself -- is phenomenal, almost indescribably privileged." — Seattle Times Posted Jul 16, 2009
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 97%	The Hurt Locker (2009)	" As unpredictable and tragic as it is genuinely riveting." — Seattle Times Posted Jul 10, 2009
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 45%	Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)	" Even new scenes involving the once-hilarious Scrat, the hapless critter who can't hold onto an acorn, feel worn out. That's when you know it's time to go." — Seattle Times Posted Jun 30, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 68%	Adoration (2009)	" In Atom Egoyan's disconcerting and unpredictable Adoration, a young man's attempt to make sense of himself and his family's history turns strange when his re-imagined version of that history becomes a combustible topic for online chatter." — Seattle Times Posted Jun 26, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 20%	Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)	" Fallen would do well to turn itself into a bland, eighteen-wheeler and drive out of town." — Seattle Times Posted Jun 23, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 38%	Imagine That (2009)	" If there were any doubts that Murphy can still be as boldly funny and charismatic in the flesh as he has been when providing the voice of Donkey in the Shrek franchise, Imagine That helps allay them." — Seattle Times Posted Jun 12, 2009
Rotten 1.5/4	Fresh 63%	Newcastle (2009)	" *A glum and slack family drama, Newcastle* is punctuated by bright bursts of dreamy surfing images, but not enough to make the film rewarding.*" — Seattle Times* Posted May 7, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 47%	Battle for Terra (2009)	" *A dystopian view of future interplanetary relations, and a real bummer of a picture of humankind's future, Battle for Terra* is a solid, though not sugarcoated, animated film for the whole family.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Apr 30, 2009
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 95%	Fados (2009)	" [Director] Saura's personal love of fado goes back to his youth, and Fados reflects what is clearly his deeply imaginative, inner relationship with the genre's songs about loss, shifting hopes and elusive happiness." — Seattle Times Posted Apr 23, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 11%	The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (2009)	" *Shoddy and never credible, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh* is an ungainly coming-of-age drama based on a (hopefully much better) novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Apr 16, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 58%	17 Again (2009)	" *The result is lumpy and irritating, but 17 Again* regroups whenever Efron is back on screen.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Apr 16, 2009
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 50%	Observe and Report (2009)	" Here's hoping the talented Rogen, in the future, sifts out junk like this from the many opportunities before him." — Seattle Times Posted Apr 9, 2009
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 58%	Skills Like This (2009)	" Miranda, a busy and successful director of commercials, shoots it all with slick economy and efficiency." — Seattle Times Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 91%	Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 (2008)	" Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, a mosaic of storytelling told by former college-level gridiron athletes, pieces together the remarkable story of a fateful 1968 match between the titular Ivy League teams." — Seattle Times Posted Mar 19, 2009
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 83%	I Love You, Man (2009)	" Smarter than it looks from its ubiquitous trailer, but not smart enough to be a fully satisfying adult comedy." — Seattle Times Posted Mar 19, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 95%	Under the Sea 3D (2009)	" One of the most fun and engaging IMAX movies to date." — Seattle Times Posted Feb 12, 2009
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 23%	Push (2009)	" *Movies don't get more headache-inducing than Push." — Seattle Times* Posted Feb 5, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 39%	Outlander (2009)	" *You can think about Outlander* 16 different ways, and still arrive at the same conclusion: It just doesn't work.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Jan 22, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 39%	Inkheart (2009)	" A brisk and engaging adventure for kids who love books as well as for those who don't." — Seattle Times Posted Jan 22, 2009
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 50%	Notorious (2009)	" *The best thing about Notorious* is its across-the-board, excellent cast, especially the soulful Woolard and Mackie's mesmerizing work as the complex Shakur.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Jan 16, 2009
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 85%	Azur and Asmar - The Princes' Quest (2006)	" Gorgeous and mesmerizing, Azur & Asmar eschews computer-generated imagery to render a flat, storybook-style animation that never stops delighting with its ornamental detail, range of color and exotic story." — Seattle Times Posted Jan 8, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 55%	The Tale of Despereaux (2008)	" [The directors] can't quite locate a core of buoyant energy in the film as a whole." — Seattle Times Posted Dec 19, 2008
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 13%	Delgo (2008)	" Better than a lot of animated features released in the past few months." — Seattle Times Posted Dec 11, 2008
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 73%	Fuel (2009)	" While Fuel takes persuasive swipes at the influence of oil-based energy companies over domestic and foreign policy, the film is more dazzling as an introduction to all kinds of clean energy alternatives many of us have never heard of." — Seattle Times Posted Nov 21, 2008
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 88%	Bolt (2008)	" Smart, sharp, original and very funny, Bolt could be the model for a certain kind of midrange, nonevent (i.e., not WALL� E) animated family film that would be more welcome right now than such bizarre junk as the recent Fly Me to the Moon." — Seattle Times Posted Nov 20, 2008
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 64%	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	" Happily, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a worthy follow-up that builds on its predecessor's successes and adds to them." — Seattle Times Posted Nov 7, 2008
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 34%	Pride and Glory (2008)	" An unexceptional police drama that doesn't live up to its high ambition, Pride and Glory feels like a television cop show that made it through one season before disappearing." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 24, 2008
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 29%	Morning Light (2008)	" If you don't speak the jargon of sailing and racing, most of the conversations between teammates mean very little. Impenetrable editing reduces the action to a meaningless blur." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 17, 2008
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 46%	Sex Drive (2008)	" Above all, Marsden and Green are a genuine delight." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 17, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 51%	City of Ember (2008)	" *Though City of Ember* is a bit hurried in execution, this first live-action film by director Gil Kenan has the subterranean feel of a dream being described.*" — Seattle Times* Posted Oct 10, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 58%	Flash of Genius (2008)	" *We might be talking about windshield wipers instead of industry pollution in Flash of Genius, but somehow justice seems more dear in this odd movie." — Seattle Times* Posted Oct 3, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 41%	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	" Chihuahua turns out to be a pretty good family comedy that is more than the sum of its effects." — Seattle Times Posted Oct 3, 2008
Fresh 3/4	N/A	The Corporal's Diary (2008)	" The content of each journal is so entertaining and compelling that, if one didn't know better, a viewer might assume The Corporal's Diary was yet another faux documentary about the war told from the perspective of a fictional serviceman." — Seattle Times Posted Sep 29, 2008
