Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
98% Gravity (2013) " 90 minutes of sheer excitement and terror, a dizzyingly participatory experience." — Badass Digest
Posted Oct 3, 2013
80% Prisoners (2013) " A very good film, with two hours of extraordinary, gripping filmmaking and twenty final minutes of subtle deflation. " — Badass Digest
Posted Sep 19, 2013
99% The Wizard of Oz (1939) " The most magical movie ever is still magic in 3D IMAX." — Badass Digest
Posted Sep 19, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " An extraordinary true story makes for a smart, adult, thrilling movie." — Badass Digest
Posted Sep 18, 2013
60% Riddick (2013) " Riddick works. As a mid-range scifi action movie it's fun enough, if it never quite reaches the potential of that first act." — Badass Digest
Posted Sep 6, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " Yes, The World's End is funny and fun, and yes it will make you want to go get blasted at a traditional pub. But, like all the best science fiction, it also has a lot to say about humanity and who we are and how we screw up." — Badass Digest
Posted Aug 23, 2013
75% You're Next (2013) " You're Next always keeps itself fun, always keeps itself moving and always gives the audience something to care about. What a weird gimmick: they made a movie that's actually just really good." — Badass Digest
Posted Aug 20, 2013
69% I Declare War (2013) " It's a loving, fun, extraordinarily well made celebration of the imagination and worldview of being 12. It's sweet but never sentimental. I loved it." — Badass Digest
Posted Aug 20, 2013
26% Jobs (2013) " Jobs ends up being a fairly honest, only mildly bombastic look at the life of a man who was very, very complicated - which is code for 'a complete a-hole.'" — Badass Digest
Posted Aug 15, 2013
30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " Kick-Ass 2 is passable, but is completely missing the spark that made the original work." — Badass Digest
Posted Aug 15, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " It only took them six movies, but they finally got Wolverine right. " — Badass Digest
Posted Jul 26, 2013
40% Only God Forgives (2013) " A hypnotic, terrifying plunge into neon hell." — Badass Digest
Posted Jul 16, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " A movie about that is thrillingly, upliftingly about the best of humanity. And it also has giant mechs punching the s**t out of giant monsters. This is what blockbuster movies should be." — Badass Digest
Posted Jul 8, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " I hate THE LONE RANGER as much as THE LONE RANGER hates The Lone Ranger." — Badass Digest
Posted Jul 1, 2013
50% White House Down (2013) " White House Down is the new standard-bearer for what summer action fluff should be." — Badass Digest
Posted Jun 27, 2013
84% This Is the End (2013) " The funniest movie of the year. " — Badass Digest
Posted Jun 12, 2013
56% Man of Steel (2013) " The best superhero action ever put to film" — Badass Digest
Posted Jun 10, 2013
76% The Kings of Summer (2013) " Kings of Summer is mostly very funny, which makes the bits where it gets serious hit all that much harder." — Badass Digest
Posted Jun 6, 2013
69% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " Justin Lin gives fans of this franchise what they want: greatcharacters being themselves and bouncing around in crazy, over the top action sequences. " — Badass Digest
Posted May 22, 2013
87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " A totally stupid movie, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS falls apart as it goes, raining debris as it implodes like a building being demolished." — Badass Digest
Posted May 14, 2013
38% The Purge (2013) " Logic and drama are what get purged here." — Badass Digest
Posted May 7, 2013
79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " This isn't just the best Iron Man movie, it's a recharge to the whole shared universe concept. Marvel can make movies that exist together while still having unique, awesome identities of their own." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 30, 2013
49% Pain & Gain (2013) " Instead of incoherent robot movies he doesn't even like, Michael Bay should have been making pitch black movies with the conscience of a sociopath all this time." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 24, 2013
54% Oblivion (2013) " Like Tron Legacy, Oblivion is a beautiful, tedious, stupid movie that is an actual chore to endure." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 18, 2013
4% Scary Movie 5 (2013) " If AIRPLANE! was Mad Magazine at its absolute best, a real genius work of insanity, SCARY MOVIE V is an issue you don't bother trying to get back after the teacher confiscates it." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 12, 2013
79% 42 (2013) " If you were to order "42" at the ballpark you'd get a corndog." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 11, 2013
93% Jurassic Park (1993) " Have you always wanted to watch Jurassic Park through Ian Malcolm's sunglasses? Then boy, is Jurassic Park 3D for you." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 4, 2013
71% My Amityville Horror (2013) " Not only a unique psychological spin on the entire story, but more importantly a truly heartbreaking examination of a 40 year old man who has spent his life trying to protect a wounded 10 year old boy within him." — Badass Digest
Posted Apr 2, 2013
28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " Incredibly disjointed, lacks any sort of a compelling throughline and, in the end, feels very small. And that's with the entire city of London being destroyed from outer space." — Badass Digest
Posted Mar 25, 2013
66% Spring Breakers (2013) " Is Spring Breakers a party movie? Yes, but that party is a raging kegger, and it's happening amidst the ashes of Western civilization." — Badass Digest
Posted Mar 15, 2013
36% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " Funny enough fluff, the sort of movie that plays well on cable when you're just kind of lazing on the couch. " — Badass Digest
Posted Mar 14, 2013
62% Evil Dead (2013) " It isn't that Evil Dead is particularly bad; it's fine. But it's without much of an identity; it's never allowed to become its own movie and is constantly forced to reference or bow to or swerve from the original." — Badass Digest
Posted Mar 10, 2013
69% Stoker (2013) " A movie that feels elegantly transgressive and viscerally exciting. A wonderful, menacing and sexy thriller." — CHUD
Posted Feb 27, 2013
52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " This is what it looks like when no one cares about a movie. This is a movie as pure product, cinema rendered utterly soulless, with no aspirations beyond getting your money opening weekend." — Badass Digest
Posted Feb 27, 2013
14% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " There's nothing unifying A Good Day To Die Hard on a cinematic level besides the fact that every single scene, taken individually, sucks." — Badass Digest
Posted Feb 14, 2013
69% V/H/S/2 (2013) " S-VHS is a next generation improvement on the first film." — Badass Digest
Posted Jan 21, 2013
60% The Last Stand (2013) " The Last Stand's action scenes range from shoot outs to crazy car stunts to a daring escape in Las Vegas to a great fist fight, and every sequence is fun and engaging." — Badass Digest
Posted Jan 15, 2013
32% Gangster Squad (2013) " A pulpy movie made by people who only know pulp from reading about it in movie reviews. It's the grim n' gritty version of DICK TRACY. And if you approach it like that, you'll enjoy the movie just fine." — Badass Digest
Posted Jan 9, 2013
61% John Dies at the End (2013) " Walking out of John Dies At The End I was seized with an enormous certainty that the film I just watched will become an enormous, long-lived cult film." — Badass Digest
Posted Jan 4, 2013
19% Texas Chainsaw (2013) " A giant turd of a movie that was made because someone had the rights to a brand name and needed to exercise them in a timely manner. The 3D sucks too." — Badass Digest
Posted Jan 4, 2013
52% This is 40 (2012) " A tedious, unpleasant experience that meanders on its way to a trite, pat conclusion. " — Badass Digest
Posted Dec 17, 2012
93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " This is a movie created completely on its own terms, forged by the belief that audiences can pay attention, that audiences don't need everything spoonfed, that truth is just as exciting as fiction when presented well." — CHUD
Posted Dec 7, 2012
81% The Impossible (2012) " A film that takes the horrors visited upon millions as an excuse to tell the sad tale of a family who lost all their luggage. " — Badass Digest
Posted Dec 5, 2012
65% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " It's not as bad as you feared, but not as good as you hoped. " — Badass Digest
Posted Dec 4, 2012
93% The Central Park Five (2012) " A powerful, moving, infuriating experience. Everyone should see this movie." — Badass Digest
Posted Nov 20, 2012
74% Rise of the Guardians (2012) " It's not a movie that feels designed to sell toys, it's a movie that feels designed to spark imaginations. " — Badass Digest
Posted Nov 20, 2012
48% The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) " Bill Condon cannot, for all his skill and effort, overcome the essentially s**t nature of the source material." — Badass Digest
Posted Nov 15, 2012
89% Lincoln (2012) " Spielberg has made a movie about thinkers and debaters for thinkers and debaters. He has made a movie where eloquence and conviction are the action elements, not chases and explosions." — Badass Digest
Posted Nov 8, 2012
92% Silver Linings Playbook (2012) " Silver Linings Playbook is the sort of feel-good claptrap that normally irritates me, but Russell plays it with the pitch and verve of a classic screwball comedy. " — Badass Digest
