Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	42%	Phil Spector (2013)	" Phil Spector is watchable, but given the lofty expectations raised by HBO movies, it's also the cinematic equivalent of a bad hair day." — Variety Posted May 22, 2013
	——	The Confession (2013)	" This movie posses slightly more edge than the network's standard fare, and a solid tandem in Katie Leclerc and Sherry Stringfield as its leads. It's also enough of a stand-alone story one needn't have thrilled to part one to join the buggy ride." — Variety Posted May 8, 2013
	——	Which Way Is the Front Line from Here? The Life and Times of Tim Hetherington (2013)	" The film is more powerful and haunting thanks to the ample footage incorporated of Hetherington himself, a cheerful soul even when faced with evidence of unimaginable cruelty, such as photographing those blinded during the war in Liberia." — Variety Posted Apr 15, 2013
	——	Restless Virgins (2013)	" An unexpectedly compelling look at the caste system, cruelty and casual sex at a privileged prep school." — Variety Posted Mar 15, 2013
	18%	Parental Guidance (2012)	" The execution, alas, prevents this from being a genuine crowdpleaser, with the better moments (mostly of the schmaltzy variety) more than offset by the irritating and tedious ones." — Variety Posted Dec 21, 2012
	86%	Weight of the Nation ()	" Spending four hours on the couch watching it certainly ought to open some eyes." — Variety Posted Aug 31, 2012
	100%	Gloria: In Her Own Words ()	" Rich as the subject is, the mix of first-person reminiscence with archival material doesn't overstay its welcome by a moment." — Variety Posted Aug 13, 2012
	64%	Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis (2013)	" Barson has made a doc too narrow in scope, with about as much substance as a meringue pie in the face." — Variety Posted Aug 13, 2012
	62%	Game Change (2013)	" Beyond the campaign, the movie yields sobering observations about the legitimacy of cable news, modern political extremism and the shrillest voices influencing the Republican Party." — Variety Posted Aug 3, 2012
	48%	Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)	" Handsome but hollow." — Variety Posted May 31, 2012
	57%	Safe (2012)	" What starts out crisp and promising gives way to a conventional shoot-'em-up." — Variety Posted Apr 23, 2012
	53%	Think Like a Man (2012)	" While the result deserves some credit for finding a creative way to bring the book to life, the overlapping storylines simply aren't compelling enough, despite the best efforts of a game and attractive cast." — Variety Posted Apr 11, 2012
