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

Fresh 5/5	Fresh 82%	Paranormal Activity (2009)	" Paranormal Activity trafficks in shadows and shivers yet is more malevolent than a dozen Hostels." — Total Film Posted Nov 27, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 40%	The Lovely Bones (2009)	" Lovely Bones is a touching, at times distressing film. It deals with loss, grief, rage, familial breakdown and love, most of all love. But it�s also energetic and entertaining." — Total Film Posted Nov 24, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 88%	The White Ribbon (2009)	" Haneke demands full attention as a patriarchal community crumbles to the ground and the seeds of fascism are sown. A masterpiece." — Total Film Posted Nov 13, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	An American Werewolf in London (1981)	" Still scary, violent and very, very funny." — Total Film Posted Oct 30, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 76%	The Firm (2009)	" A fresh angle on a mini-classic. It�s about �80s football violence, yes, but it�s also about today�s gang culture. And friendship and family. Nick Love shoots� and scores." — Total Film Posted Sep 11, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 68%	Funny People (2009)	" A comedy-drama full of beauty and ugliness, profundity and profanity. Eventually loses its way but, for at least 100 minutes, it�s some sort of masterpiece." — Total Film Posted Aug 29, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 50%	Antichrist (2009)	" This thoroughly pretentious offering is more childish and terrible than enfant terrible. The most startling � and boring � film you�ll see this year." — Total Film Posted Jul 24, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 93%	Sugar (2009)	" Sugar is a human story told with immense skill, right down to the deft transitions and the soft fuzz of the electronic score." — Total Film Posted Jun 5, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 92%	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	" Gaudy, ghoulish, this particular creepshow plugs into the EC Comics of the �50s, laughing uproariously in the face of death. Forgettable, but groovy while it lasts." — Total Film Posted May 29, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 100%	A Prophet (2009)	" A Prophet is a compelling, forceful drama." — Total Film Posted May 18, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 93%	Mother (2009)	" Mother is competent, no more, no less." — Total Film Posted May 17, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Bright Star (2009)	" Bright Star does nothing new (if it wasn�t based of fact, it would be accused of adhering too closely to formula) but it does it very well, displaying real craft and benefiting from terrific performances." — Total Film Posted May 17, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 49%	Taking Woodstock (2009)	" The biggest surprise of all � it�s actually pretty average, at least by Lee�s own impeccable standards." — Total Film Posted May 16, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 68%	Tetro (2009)	" Forcefully acted and sumptuously shot in gleaming black and white, it is an artistic picture that occasionally � nay, frequently � strains too hard for credibility, as Coppola�s script shoots for nothing less than tragedy." — Total Film Posted May 16, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 43%	Spring Fever (2009)	" Some of it hits home, raw and emotional. Other sequences (a karaoke scene, moony shots of Nanjing) thrum with a tender melancholy. Most of it, though, is boring, nonsensical and off-puttingly convinced of its own worth." — Total Film Posted May 15, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 98%	Up (2009)	" Up, as ever, is all about the characters. And the observations of human (and animal) behaviour. And the exquisitely timed physical comedy." — Total Film Posted May 13, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Rotten 54%	Martyrs (2008)	" Arthouse? Grindhouse? The Passion Of Joan Of Arc: Unrated Edition? Defying all boundaries, Martyrs relentlessly dishes the visceral pain and emerges as a work of not just ceaseless terror but also gravity and beauty." — Total Film Posted Mar 27, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 25%	Friday the 13th (2009)	" He runs, he stumbles� Jason�s newest beginning is satisfyingly sick but far too slick, Nispel jettisoning grubby, home-movie visuals � and with them all tension � in favour of really lustrous leaves. Disappointing." — Total Film Posted Feb 13, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)	" Life, death and a love that burns bright and brief as a firefly� Only Fincher could lighten up and still turn in a film obsessed with transience, with mortality. Flecked with flaws, Button nonetheless stands as a monument to its maker�s talent." — Total Film Posted Feb 5, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 85%	JCVD (2008)	" Directed with pace and a little too much surface gloss by Mabrouk El Mechri, JCVD works less as a suspense thriller and more as a treatise on celebrity, a confessional for its star." — Total Film Posted Jan 30, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 68%	Pineapple Express (2008)	" The Freaks And Geeks boys prove that weedy action men are where it�s at. Pineapple Express sometimes zones out but mostly blows minds and inspires some delirious giggles. Like the titular grass, really." — Total Film Posted Sep 12, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 85%	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	" It�s gross but will it gross? Burton and Depp�s cannibal musical is an especially acquired taste � Oliver! reimagined by Eli Roth. Brave, brutal� ballads?" — Posted Jan 24, 2008
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 94%	No Country for Old Men (2007)	" Virtuoso. A film of pin-sharp principles, cross-hair precision and suffocating tension, this Coens stunner hits like a cattle gun between the eyes." — Total Film Posted Jan 18, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Silent Night (2006)	" The sound of silence� Indulging in few words and even fewer edits, Carlos Reygadas lets his luminous images do the talking as he ponders the human condition and more. Some viewers will cry with boredom; true believers will shed tears of pain and joy." — Total Film Posted Dec 7, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 36%	Southland Tales (2007)	" Southland Tales finally emerges as an admirably bold dud. Trying to sum up EVERYTHING that�s wrong in the world in one kaleidoscopic go, it�s messy, misshapen and curiously muffled. Seems the world does end with a whimper after all." — Total Film Posted Dec 7, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 67%	Disturbia (2007)	" The teen support cast are vacuous and director DJ Caruso strays a little too far into Grand Guignol territory for the over-extended climax, but Disturbia�s otherwise bang on the money: $80m at the US box-office was no fluke." — Total Film Posted Sep 14, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	Zodiac (2007)	" *Lucid and forceful, Zodiac* is sensational in the right way.*" — Total Film* Posted Aug 8, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 69%	The Science of Sleep (2006)	" Mischievous and magical, Gondry�s bizarro movie offers visual pearl after visual pearl but no string to tie them together. O� est Kaufman?" — Total Film Posted Feb 14, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 66%	The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)	" Relentlessly grim but in a phony, Hollywood kinda way." — Total Film Posted Jan 14, 2007

Rotten	Rotten 4%	Down to You (2000)	" [Director Kris Isacsson] tries to bring a little enterprise to the inevitable scenes of bickering and moody silence, but by now the vitalising tactics seem out of place." — Sight and Sound Posted Dec 2, 2002
