Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
5/5	78%	Baghead (2008)	— Time Out Posted Nov 18, 2011
	97%	Ringu (Ring) (2003)	" Eschewing blood for a sinuous tone of Videodromic dread, Ring forces fear into every cut as a psychic telejournalist counts down the hours till a fatal visitation, while making a gung ho attempt to save her brood." — Village Voice Posted Sep 25, 2007
	73%	Short Cut to Nirvana: Kumbh Mela (2004)	" The directors and subjects evince enough contagious ecstasy to gladden the most angst-ridden Western hearts." — Village Voice Posted Apr 12, 2005
	80%	The Red Orchestra (2005)	" Without becoming maudlin or confessional, talking-head testimonies by former Orchestra members and their children recount just how heroic the group's treasonous flyers, broadcasts to Russia, and meeting with U.S. agents really were." — Village Voice Posted Mar 3, 2005
	33%	Sexual Dependency (2003)	" No worse than a tinny artist's statement, but as moviemaking, it's brutally embarrassing, inexcusable." — Village Voice Posted Feb 22, 2005
	71%	Schultze Gets the Blues (2005)	" What hints at a wacky one-note polka -- staid, retired German miner and accordion hobbyist upends his life upon hearing zydeco -- ends up an intricate, becalmed take on a soul adrift." — Village Voice Posted Feb 15, 2005
	88%	Unscrewed (2003)	" A likable, wrinkly taint of a movie." — Village Voice Posted Feb 8, 2005
	55%	Arakimentari (2004)	" Uncritical as the movie is, it's a pity no one's hip to the possibility that he's endlessly repeating his greatest work of the 1980s." — Village Voice Posted Jan 25, 2005
	67%	Santa Smokes (2002)	" Overall the acting is sound, the missteps few, and the murky digicam smash-and-grab sheen entirely apt for the cacophonous Christmas crush." — Village Voice Posted Dec 14, 2004
	48%	Straight Jacket (2004)	" Offers up a super-queered, tinny 1950s, one that plays loose and preachy with the Passion of Rock Hudson." — Village Voice Posted Dec 7, 2004
	60%	Scumrock: It's Scumrock, Not Punk Rock! (1998)	" Gripping, strangely beautiful, and poignant." — Village Voice Posted Mar 16, 2004
	84%	Gloomy Sunday (Ein Lied von Liebe und Tod) (2003)	" An apocryphal, pretty, and somewhat pat biography of the title ballad." — Village Voice Posted Nov 4, 2003
	52%	Suspended Animation (2001)	" Alternately tense and cheesy, Suspended Animation returns its director, John Hancock, to the blood-soaked turf he spaded 30 years ago with his ageless nail-biter Let's Scare Jessica to Death." — Village Voice Posted Oct 28, 2003
	79%	Washington Heights (2002)	" The DV tics (vertiginous pull-zooms, smeary focus) can't bury the movie's immense heart." — Village Voice Posted May 6, 2003
	78%	Reno: Rebel Without a Pause (2004)	" What seems like a nut-on-a- bar-stool rant morphs into a triumphal evocation of the emotional-political bluster of that time." — Village Voice Posted Apr 29, 2003
	50%	The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003)	" Nothing if not a scary surge of Indian nationalism." — Village Voice Posted Apr 15, 2003
	80%	Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)	" Aside from his CGI ghostcraft unwittingly co-opting Pat O'Neill's last feature, Cameron is entirely predictable in a marines T-shirt, exhorting, 'Next stop, Titanic -- rock 'n' roll!'" — Village Voice Posted Apr 15, 2003
	35%	Levity (2003)	" Real levity is barely present." — Village Voice Posted Apr 1, 2003
	25%	Friday After Next (2002)	" A manically generous Christmas vaudeville." — Village Voice Posted Nov 19, 2002
	52%	Uzumaki (2002)	" Puts most American would-be chillers to shame." — Village Voice Posted Apr 30, 2002
3/4	95%	Eternity and a Day (1999)	" Overall, Angelopoulos' film gives the viewer a sense of the infinite ... even if its languid artiness occasionally lulls you to sleep." — Reel.com Posted Oct 30, 2001
	43%	All Over The Guy (2001)	" A painfully earnest case of generic romance spiced with queerness." — Village Voice Posted Aug 7, 2001
	28%	Kingdom Come (2001)	" Demands high tolerance for low comedy." — Village Voice Posted Apr 10, 2001
—	——	100% Arabica (2006)	— Village Voice Posted Apr 3, 2001
	88%	The Widow of Saint-Pierre (The Widow of St. Pierre) (La veuve de Saint-Pierre) (2000)	" Melds cushy, humanist-to-the-bone politics with a captivating, if somewhat discordant, cast." — Village Voice Posted Mar 1, 2001
	18%	Saving Silverman (Evil Woman) (2001)	" Despite an early, zesty deluge of gags ... it soon settles down to an anxious man-a-thon." — Village Voice Posted Feb 14, 2001
