Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
3/5	71%	The King of Marvin Gardens (1972)	" Introspective and self-conscious, it's a chill offering that struggles to find its own voice." — Little White Lies Posted May 23, 2013
1/5	13%	Red Dawn (2012)	" With any luck this will be the spanner that finally jams up the works of Hollywood's dangerously overcranked '80s remake Wurlitzer." — Little White Lies Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5	40%	Parker (2013)	" Things get off to a flying start, but you just know your luck isn't going to hold." — Little White Lies Posted Mar 7, 2013
1/5	67%	Cloud Atlas (2012)	" The perfect film for all those people whose one, undying wish in life is to swim with dolphins." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 21, 2013
2/5	0%	Run For Your Wife ()	" A bizarre, ill-advised antediluvian folly. Like Jurassic Park." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 14, 2013
1/5	15%	A Good Day To Die Hard (2013)	" Any remaining good faith in the franchise is now lost. Bruce's threatened sixth outing must surely be a bridge too far now." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 14, 2013
5/5	98%	Chinatown (1974)	" See this film as many times as you can. Please." — Little White Lies Posted Jan 3, 2013
4/5	65%	The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)	" The board is set, the pieces are moving and we're set up nicely for Jackson to tighten the noose with the love of second-act grit he displayed in The Two Towers." — Little White Lies Posted Dec 11, 2012
3/5	91%	Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan ()	" You come away feeling Harryhausen perhaps deserves a more dynamic tribute, but it's a solid round-up of an extraordinary career." — Little White Lies Posted Nov 8, 2012
	25%	Dinotasia (2012)	" [A] well-meaning but listless compendium of unconnected prehistoric CG dino-vignettes that is as sure to bore children as it is to bemuse adults." — Little White Lies Posted Oct 24, 2012
3/5	92%	Skyfall (2012)	" The new outlook, fresh cast and leaner chassis suggest that the franchise can really kick on from here, but it's hard not to feel that Skyfall itself is something of a missed opportunity. Better luck next time, James. Again." — Little White Lies Posted Oct 16, 2012
3/5	93%	Looper (2012)	" The most resourceful, vivacious and savage science fiction movie of 2012." — Little White Lies Posted Sep 27, 2012
2/5	65%	The Campaign (2012)	" All sounds a bit déjà vu. Didn't they make this in the late-'90s with Chris Farley and David Spade?" — Little White Lies Posted Sep 27, 2012
1/5	37%	Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)	" A nauseating child's nightmare of Sisyphean despair." — Little White Lies Posted Aug 23, 2012
1/5	56%	The Bourne Legacy (2012)	" This franchise is going to have to come up with something pretty special if it hopes to limp past this miserable entry." — Little White Lies Posted Aug 10, 2012
1/5	31%	The Dinosaur Project (2012)	" The dinosaurs do the business, but they are let down badly by the human element." — Little White Lies Posted Aug 9, 2012
2/5	88%	London: The Modern Babylon (2013)	" Ultimately there's not enough invention or verve to set this apart from a competent TV documentary." — Little White Lies Posted Aug 2, 2012
1/5	68%	God Bless America (2012)	" Goldthwait shows a knack for pin-pointing the sulphurous hues within the kaleidoscopic rainbow of alienation and frustration, but has sadly failed to paint any of them black." — Little White Lies Posted Jul 3, 2012
3/5	41%	Rock of Ages (2012)	" This is hardly what you'd call "great cinema", but, against the odds, it manages to be flashy and entertaining enough to justify its move to the big screen." — Little White Lies Posted Jun 14, 2012
2/5	44%	Casa de mi padre (2012)	" Vámonos, amigos!, murmuró, y los vaqueros montó en la crepúsculo friscalatito..." — Little White Lies Posted Jun 7, 2012
2/5	70%	Men in Black III (2012)	" If ITV had made Doctor Who then it would look something like this." — Little White Lies Posted May 24, 2012
3/5	92%	Marvel's The Avengers (2012)	" A shiny, caged beast of a film that delivers on its every promise." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 24, 2012
1/5	22%	The Samaritan (2012)	" Good early running is seriously undercut by tiresome twists, predictable turns and a rushed, botched, improbable ending." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 19, 2012
3/5	75%	Blackthorn (2011)	" Lonesome Dove with a dash of My Name is Nobody and a side of Ride the High Country, but Shepard, Noriega and the exotic Bolivian locations mark Blackthorn out as a notable entry." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 12, 2012
1/5	14%	Hard Boiled Sweets ()	" Makes you actively appreciate Guy Ritchie. Actively. Appreciate. Guy. Ritchie..." — Little White Lies Posted Mar 8, 2012
2/5	91%	Corman's World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel (2011)	" None of it gets us anywhere truly close to the beating heart of an essentially retiring figure." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 21, 2012
1/5	17%	Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)	" You'll no doubt hear it said elsewhere, but, by comparison, this really does make the first Ghost Rider seem like stone-baked gold." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 16, 2012
3/5	85%	How To Re-establish A Vodka Empire ()	" Jumbled, rushed and a trifle premature - we're left hanging as to the success of the venture - it's also charming, inventive and lively." — Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2012
3/5	57%	Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)	" Still unsure of the basic mechanics of the plot, drags in places and that Binks chap wasn't just a bad dream, but when it soars, it soars." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 9, 2012
2/5	94%	Hugo (2011)	" It's possible to see the attraction, but when people break into applause over the credits, some are going to be left cold." — Little White Lies Posted Dec 1, 2011
2/5	26%	Your Highness (2011)	" There are too many missed opportunites and too many instances of glaring, easily-fixable problems left to creak and dangle in our faces." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 13, 2011
1/5	34%	Hall Pass (2011)	" Leaves very little beyond a bitter aftertaste." — Little White Lies Posted Mar 10, 2011
2/5	44%	The Green Hornet (2011)	" Rogen looks like he's waiting for the real leading man to turn up. And where exactly are the jokes?" — Little White Lies Posted Jan 14, 2011
4/5	81%	The Milk of Sorrow (La Teta Asustada) (2010)	" It evolves into a striking work of shattering simplicity that details a grieving society slowly coming to terms with its past." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 30, 2010
3/5	81%	The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2010)	" Micro-budget British moviemaking at its best." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 30, 2010
2/5	83%	Bananas! (2009)	" A missed opportunity to spear corporate negligence." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 21, 2010
	46%	Everybody's Fine (2009)	" Itâ(TM)s a four-square set-up, but with only the barest flicker of familial friction heating the undercooked drama." — Little White Lies Posted Feb 26, 2010
	26%	Ninja Assassin (2009)	" It truly wouldn't take much - a minor re-edit, a few arch looks to camera, a wiseacre sidekick named 'Shortballs' - to inch this utterly mystifying throwback into spoof territory." — Little White Lies Posted Jan 22, 2010
	91%	Up in the Air (2009)	" What begins as a surprisingly successful mixture of Michael Clayton and Intolerable Cruelty eventually skirts uncomfortably close to the as-yet-unfilmed epilogue to Planes, Trains and Automobiles." — Little White Lies Posted Jan 15, 2010
