Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
8.5/10 82% Fill the Void (2013) " A terrifically layered film that really leaves you thinking and wanting to talk about what you've just watched afterwards" — ComingSoon.net
Posted May 22, 2013
8/10 88% The Angels' Share (2013) " Loach's best film since The Wind That Shakes the Barley." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Apr 9, 2013
6/10 68% Trance (2013) " From any other director, Trance would be just fine, but coming from Danny Boyle after such a long gap, it's hard not to be disappointed by what is clearly weaker material." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Apr 3, 2013
6/10 8% Tomorrow You're Gone (2013) " The movie tries to achieve something we've seen done so much better in the past without the level of writing necessary to make it work. " — ComingSoon.net
Posted Apr 2, 2013
7.5/10 75% Simon Killer (2013) " The type of film that makes you ponder long and hard afterwards to appreciate what Antonio Campos was trying to achieve." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Apr 2, 2013
7/10 55% The Company You Keep (2013) " This political conspiracy thriller benefits from its strong script and cast, but an overabundance of satellite characters results in an erratic and disjointed effort." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Apr 2, 2013
4.5/10 9% The Host (2013) " It's painfully obvious Stephenie Meyer is a one-trick pony and a trick like Twilight you can only really pull off once." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 28, 2013
6.5/10 28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " Most of the high points involve its bigger action set pieces, but other parts just don't work as well because it never quite finds the right overall tone." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 22, 2013
5.5/10 47% Olympus Has Fallen (2013) " A better Die Hard movie than the most recent Die Hard, but it's hard to quantify its entertainment value due to how ridiculous the whole thing comes across." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 19, 2013
7/10 82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " Not nearly as strong as Cianfrance's previous movie, but it comes across as an interesting dramatic storytelling experiment that ultimately pays off." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 15, 2013
7/10 63% I Give It a Year (2013) " Much like the original Death at a Funeral, it offers enough huge physically-driven laughs that it makes up for some of the lazier storytelling decisions. " — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 14, 2013
7/10 90% Good Vibrations () " Has a couple of true revelatory moments, but the script could be better so that it didn't constantly have to rely on the music to drive the movie... and ultimately, save it." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 14, 2013
8/10 —— Drinking Buddies (2013) " A study of relationships between men and women and how attraction and chemistry can get in the way of keeping a friendship platonic." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 11, 2013
7.5/10 88% Upstream Color (2013) " Upstream Color is cinema as art and it's the type of art that can lead to lots of conversations, presumably intelligent philosophical ones." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 11, 2013
7.5/10 —— The Bounceback () " Even with its share of tonal shifts, this is a fun follow-up to Lovers of Hate as Poyser shows he can work with a bigger budget and more ideas. " — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 11, 2013
8.5/10 100% Don Jon (2013) " A truly original character piece, hilariously funny and poignant, with enough humor and heart that more people will be able to relate to the characters than they'll care to admit." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 9, 2013
7/10 66% Spring Breakers (2013) " As edgy and in-your-face as Fight Club, Spring Breakers may be just as divisive." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 9, 2013
5/10 37% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " Not particularly funny or clever, it often hits the lows of some of the worst Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell character comedies." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 8, 2013
8.5/10 65% Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey (2013) " If you're a fan of the band and want to learn more about its relatively new frontman, then the film is a must-see." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 6, 2013
8/10 43% Admission (2013) " It eventually elevates itself above its genre, which can be fully attributed to Paul Weitz's knack for this type of material and the brilliant pairing of Tina Fey with Paul Rudd." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 6, 2013
8/10 59% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " The perfect blend of Frank L. Baum, Sam Raimi and Disney... and a movie that's as entertaining as the 1939 classic." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Mar 5, 2013
5.5/10 67% Stoker (2013) " There's only so much Mia Wasikowska navel-gazing anyone should be forced to bear." — ShockTillYouDrop.com
Posted Feb 27, 2013
8.5/10 89% A Place at the Table (2013) " Does a good job relaying the facts and why it's become so difficult to overcome the problems but also an incredibly emotional film." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 26, 2013
8.5/10 96% War Witch (2013) " Creative film storytelling at its finest and a truly unique coming-of-age tale." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 26, 2013
6/10 25% Phantom (2013) " Mostly bland and often confusing, Phantom had potential to be a better movie." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 26, 2013
8.5/10 58% Snitch (2013) " An incredible human story filled with tension and drama that leaves you thinking in a way we rarely get from typical 'action movies' these days. " — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 20, 2013
4.5/10 46% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " Another attempt to adapt a young adult novel that fails to justify the adaptation." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 13, 2013
4/10 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " A good way to ruin the 'Die Hard' franchise. Terrible." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 13, 2013
7/10 20% Identity Thief (2013) " As outrageous as the premise may seem, there's enough laughs to make up for the predictable road comedy formula we've seen so many times before." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Feb 7, 2013
7.5/10 47% Bullet to the Head (2013) " If you're looking for a fun and stylish old school action flick then you can probably do far worse than this. " — ComingSoon.net
Posted Jan 30, 2013

Posted Jan 24, 2013
5.5/10 30% Broken City (2013) " Its premise fails to pull the viewer in because it goes off on too many tangents and the few twists are so obvious you immediately can figure out where it's heading." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Jan 17, 2013
7/10 66% Mama (2013) " A better than average horror premise and some clever bits that are often enough to make up for the more obvious moments that foray into cliché territory." — ShockTillYouDrop.com
Posted Jan 15, 2013
4/10 19% The Baytown Outlaws (2013) " There's probably an audience for Baytown Outlaws, but it's not one anyone might want to spend 90 minutes with in a movie theater." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Jan 8, 2013
7/10 61% Jack Reacher (2012) " The pace is slow at times, but the results are satisfying enough to want more." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 20, 2012
8/10 43% Waiting For Lightning (2012) " It's quite astounding to see Way taking huge spills at some of his jumps only to get back on his board and try again." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 14, 2012
9/10 81% The Impossible (2012) " A fantastic sophomore effort from Juan Bayona that reaches the emotional and filmmaking heights that Spielberg and Eastwood have been trying to achieve for years." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 7, 2012
9/10 69% Les Misérables (2012) " Tom Hooper has created an unprecedented musical experience, a powerful and unforgettable showstopper of a film." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 6, 2012
8.5/10 51% Promised Land (2013) " The refreshingly simple storytelling and authentic small town feel makes it a very special film indeed." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 5, 2012
6/10 65% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " An Unexpected Journey may as well be The Phantom Menace and God help us all if the next two movies aren't better than this one." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 4, 2012
7.5/10 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " Not quite on par with The Hurt Locker in terms of intensity or entertainment value, Zero Dark Thirty eventually finds its footing to become a film with real weight." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Dec 2, 2012
8/10 75% Killing Them Softly (2012) " Fans of vintage Scorsese, Tarantino and Guy Ritchie should appreciate Dominik's stylish character-driven gangster thriller." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Nov 25, 2012
5/10 13% Red Dawn (2012) " May be one of the most worthless remakes in recent memory and this is coming from someone who didn't hate Len Wiseman's Total Recall." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Nov 20, 2012
8.5/10 82% De rouille et d'os (Rust and Bone) (2012) " Jacques Audiard continues to strive to make films so distinctively singular in their originality, no one in Hollywood would even consider remaking this." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Nov 16, 2012
6/10 38% Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) " Could have easily been a movie just about the relationship between the President and the King of England--it would have been much better movie, even if it would still feel like one we've seen before." — ComingSoon.net
Posted Nov 13, 2012
7.5/10 69% Not Fade Away (2012) " An excellent transition into film [for David Chase] even if it's likely to have a far more limited audience than "The Sopranos."" — ComingSoon.net
