Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2/5	82%	Get the Gringo ()	" All of the swaggering attitude is just too much for a film that has absolutely no point to it." — Shadows on the Wall Posted May 10, 2012
—	77%	Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2012)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted May 10, 2012
2.5/5	41%	Dark Shadows (2012)	" The script is an odd mix of smart dialog and random plot-strands, and while Burton gets the style right he never quite finds the tone." — Shadows on the Wall Posted May 10, 2012

4/5	93%	Marvel's The Avengers (2012)	" It takes a while to get going, but once writer-director Whedon hits his stride, the film rockets through a series of frantically entertaining set pieces." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 27, 2012
3.5/5	38%	The Samaritan (2012)	" It's a slow build until the final act, but it remains gripping thanks to a snaky plot that gets nastier and scarier as it develops." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 21, 2012
2.5/5	43%	Transit (2012)	" Its increasingly preposterous narrative and hysterically over-violent action makes it something of a guilty pleasure." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 20, 2012
—	——	Shadow (2009)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 19, 2012
4/5	94%	Marley (2012)	" Through interviews with family, friends and colleagues, it provides an entertaining, telling look at both the man and his beliefs." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 19, 2012
—	100%	Fury (1936)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 19, 2012
—	——	Transit (2009)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 19, 2012
2/5	20%	The Lucky One (2012)	" Zac Efron isn't a bad actor, but this kind of sappy movie will do nothing to build his credibility." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 19, 2012
—	——	The Love Patient (2011)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 17, 2012
—	22%	Raven (2012)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 14, 2012

—	73%	Blackthorn (2011)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 12, 2012
4/5	90%	The Cabin in the Woods (2012)	" The script for this horror romp is almost too inventive, cleverly combining clashing genres and playing hilariously with a range of cliches while thoroughly grossing out the audience." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 12, 2012
3/5	25%	Wrath of the Titans (2012)	" While this sequel is just as loud and chaotic as 2010's Clash of the Titans remake, it's also considerably more fun due to some exhilarating action and a refreshing sense of humour." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 7, 2012
5/5	88%	Titanic (in 3D) (2012)	" Reissued to tie in with the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage, it's astonishing how timeless the film looks. And as a true classic, it doesn't lose our attention for a moment." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 5, 2012
—	——	This Is What Love In Action Looks Like (2011)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 5, 2012
3.5/5	76%	Damsels in Distress (2012)	" Funny, fizzy and packed with astute observations, this endearing film can't help but make us smile." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Apr 5, 2012
3/5	50%	Mirror Mirror (2012)	" While it's too uneven and corny to be a classic, it's still a lot of fun." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 30, 2012
—	——	Mirrors 2 (2010)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 29, 2012
—	——	Love Free or Die: How the Bishop of New Hampshire is Changing the World ()	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 29, 2012
4/5	84%	The Hunger Games (2012)	" It's rare to see a blockbuster with such a sharp political sensibility. And the actors are terrific in complex roles." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 22, 2012
2/5	51%	Contraband (2012)	" There isn't a single moment in this film that feels authentic..." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 15, 2012
2/5	56%	The Lorax (2012)	" Dr Seuss' eco-fable is transformed into a raucous adventure comedy in this colourful animated feature. And it's a little embarrassing really." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 15, 2012
4/5	85%	21 Jump Street (2012)	" It manages to achieve a balance between the action and spoofery due to sure-handed direction and a cast that really dives into the mayhem." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 15, 2012
3/5	67%	We Bought a Zoo (2011)	" It's engaging enough to keep us watching, but never finds any real focus." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 15, 2012
4/5	60%	Wanderlust (2012)	" An unusually sharp script makes this silly comedy thoroughly enjoyable, even when it tips over the top." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 8, 2012
—	90%	The Raven (1963)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 8, 2012
3/5	67%	Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)	" There's not much resonance, which is a shame because the film has a thoroughly engaging premise and the actors are charming." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Mar 8, 2012
—	88%	Praise (2000)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 25, 2012
—	——	The Stranger In Us (2011)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 23, 2012
3/5	54%	Safe House (2012)	" It's sharply well-made and acted, but nothing about it remotely scratches beneath the surface." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 23, 2012
—	20%	Shadows In The Sun (The Shadow Dancer) (2005)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 23, 2012
4/5	81%	Red Dog ()	" Shamelessly enjoyable, this raucous Aussie movie keeps us laughing - and ultimately sniffling back the tears - as it recounts an urban myth." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 23, 2012
3.5/5	25%	This Means War (2012)	" A lively pace and a nicely warped sense of humour help make this paper-thin action-comedy a mindlessly enjoyable romp." — Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 23, 2012
—	90%	The Oath (2010)	— Shadows on the Wall Posted Feb 23, 2012
