Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
2/5 12% The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) " What Harald Zwart's film lacks is the focus that might make this cluttered set-up more than the sum of its dour design, raging hormones, incessant skirmishes and wearying exposition." — Total Film
Posted Aug 28, 2013
8.2/10 99% Short Term 12 (2013) " Ultimately, it's because of what goes unsaid in the film that its various onscreen relationships feel authentic and lived in." — Paste Magazine
Posted Aug 23, 2013
C- 30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " If Kick-Ass 2 manages to distinguish itself at all, it's by establishing a new standard for the level of disinterest a film can show in its title character." — Willamette Week
Posted Aug 18, 2013
C- 38% Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013) " There's very little fun to be had watching a kids' flick so aware of its own mortality." — Willamette Week
Posted Aug 7, 2013
C 63% 2 Guns (2013) " The climax unfolds with all the grace of a herd of bulls storming through a Mexican standoff." — Willamette Week
Posted Jul 31, 2013
2/5 42% Red 2 (2013) " You'd hope that, emboldened by the success of its predecessor, Red 2 would come out swinging. Instead, it opens with a shot of a Costco sign..." — Total Film
Posted Jul 30, 2013
C 52% The To Do List (2013) " The To Do List ultimately proves a lazy, self-involved lover, too busy indulging its own fetishes and desires to tend to the viewers' needs or offer them much gratification." — Willamette Week
Posted Jul 24, 2013
8.2/10 95% The Hunt (2013) " Fittingly for a film that deals with actions that can't be undone, The Hunt leaves you with a sickening feeling that's almost impossible to shake." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jul 23, 2013
C 56% The Look of Love (2013) " It's a case of "fourth time unlucky" for frequent collaborators Michael Winterbottom and Steve Coogan. Well, "uninspired" might be more accurate." — Willamette Week
Posted Jul 23, 2013
5.2/10 65% Turbo (2013) " The prevailing sense with Turbo is that it's overly calculated while receiving none of the basic care and attention it requires in order to thrive." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jul 19, 2013
7.7/10 —— A Little Closer () " Remarkably assured in terms of both tone and craft, A Little Closer suggests that Petock is poised to take a great leap forward with his next feature." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jul 19, 2013
C- 65% Turbo (2013) " It seems "slow and steady wins the race" doesn't carry much weight in an era of instant gratification." — Willamette Week
Posted Jul 16, 2013
6.3/10 —— Cartoon College () " Failing to practice what it preaches regarding the focus and devotion that superior storytelling demands, Cartoon College remains little more than a rough sketch." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jul 12, 2013
B 97% A Hijacking (2013) " Tobias Lindholm's slow-burning thriller makes a bid for verisimilitude that extends well beyond the use of natural light and handheld cameras." — Willamette Week
Posted Jul 10, 2013
7.2/10 96% The History Of Future Folk (2013) " There's much to admire about visitors from beyond who believe that the answer to our problems might arrive courtesy of just the right chord progression." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jul 7, 2013
C 65% The Heat (2013) " The Heat may be the most tragic blunder since Pryzbylewski gunned down that plainclothes cop in Season 3 of The Wire." — Willamette Week
Posted Jun 27, 2013
B 82% Dirty Wars (2013) " With Dirty Wars, director Rick Rowley doesn't so much sugar the pill as caffeinate it." — Willamette Week
Posted Jun 20, 2013
C 67% World War Z (2013) " Hollywood executives can sleep a little easier at night, once again content in the knowledge that throwing enough money at a problem can solve it." — Willamette Week
Posted Jun 20, 2013
C+ 59% The Bling Ring (2013) " Coppola skillfully conveys a key cultural shift: the desire for fame supplanted by an appetite for infamy." — Willamette Week
Posted Jun 20, 2013
1/5 38% Stand Up Guys (2013) " You'd think that septuagenarians Al Pacino and Christopher Walken would still have enough self-respect left in the tank to steer clear of debacles like this." — Total Film
Posted Jun 16, 2013
C- 38% The Purge (2013) " A sheep in Straw Dogs' clothing." — Willamette Week
Posted Jun 6, 2013
7.4/10 76% Dead Man's Burden (2013) " Moshé immediately establishes an unforgiving milieu for his moody, minimalist Western." — Paste Magazine
Posted May 23, 2013
C 55% The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) " As Nair's film forgoes provocation for pandering, it assumes a tragic air, albeit not for the reasons she intended." — Willamette Week
Posted May 22, 2013
C- 54% Oblivion (2013) " Oblivion is too somber to cater in escapist thrills and too vacuous to offer emotional or intellectual engagement." — Willamette Week
Posted May 22, 2013
7.5/10 75% Pieta (2013) " Kim has a very specific wringer he intends to usher his pawns through and a particular course he's plotted to it. Consequently, a complex, troubling character study slowly becomes a borderline conventional narrative." — Paste Magazine
Posted May 17, 2013
7.2/10 77% It's a Disaster (2013) " While Berger's approach to satire and social commentary is somewhat scattershot, his reference-heavy dialogue is sharp enough to allow each cast member to make an impression." — Paste Magazine
