T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
83%	Something in the Air (2013)	" Filmmakers turn out routine coming-of-age stories in their sleep. Something in the Air is made with such precision, clarity and sweep that it redefines the genre." — Film Journal International Posted May 3, 2013
77%	Iron Man 3 (2013)	" Third entry more than lives up to the promise of the original Iron Man, and marks an exciting return to form for a franchise that had dipped in quality." — Film Journal International Posted May 2, 2013
46%	Pain & Gain (2013)	" Even when Pain & Gain plumbs the depths of tastelessness, it looks and moves like a high-powered sports car. " — Film Journal International Posted Apr 25, 2013

77%	42 (2013)	" Jackie Robinson helps break baseball's color bar when he plays for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Moving account of an American icon." — Film Journal International Posted Apr 10, 2013

89%	A Place at the Table (2013)	" Hunger in America, seen through the eyes of its victims, with an emphasis on children. Sobering documentary addresses a shameful problem." — Film Journal International Posted Mar 5, 2013
75%	Leviathan (2013)	" Experimental documentary about fishing has its defenders, but will seem tedious and incoherent to most." — Film Journal International Posted Mar 1, 2013

52%	This is 40 (2012)	" The Judd Apatow comedy formula might be wearing a little thin, but he still delivers more laughs than most of his competition." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 19, 2012
66%	The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)	" This first installment should draw a large audience; getting it back for rounds two and three will be more difficult." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 14, 2012
32%	Deadfall (2012)	" A film too full of itself to be bothered with entertaining its customers." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 6, 2012

40%	Back to 1942 (2012)	" A relatively even-handed account of a famine which killed three million people, but the storytelling is so careful that it fails to build much interest or emotion." — Film Journal International Posted Nov 30, 2012
84%	Dragon (2012)	" Both a throwback to and a commentary on the swordplay genre that used to dominate Asian cinema, Dragon is so clever and well-made that it might win over a broader-than-usual audience here." — Film Journal International Posted Nov 26, 2012
