Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
C 56% Man of Steel (2013) " Superman's brawl with Zod is interminable, an ungodly overload of CGI that amounts to a special effects bludgeoning." — NECN
Posted Jun 14, 2013
B 70% The East (2013) " Marling and Batmanglij pull punches as things come to a close, opting for a more pacifist resolution than their fictional insurrectionist group would certainly espouse." — NECN
Posted Jun 14, 2013
B+ 85% This Is the End (2013) " A rapturously-riotous, celeb-skewering raunchfest." — NECN
Posted Jun 12, 2013
B 34% The Internship (2013) " Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's cinematic reunion renders the Google-glorifying, Revenge of the Nerds ripoff irresistibly likable -- make that +1-able." — NECN
Posted Jun 7, 2013
A 98% Before Midnight (2013) " Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy come off as if they were conjoined for the past nine years in the gloriously-acted, hypnotically-conversational conclusion to the Before Sunrise trilogy -- the year's first legit contender for awards season love." — NECN
Posted May 28, 2013
A- 62% Epic (2013) " Though Epic walks a woefully-worn, save-the-planet path, it manages to feel fresh, even when drawing inspiration directly from Alice in Wonderland, Avatar and The Lord of the Rings." — NECN
Posted May 21, 2013
B- 68% The Iceman (2013) " Getting to see Shannon boogie to Blondie is enough to warrant a stay of execution." — NECN
Posted May 17, 2013
A- 50% The Great Gatsby (2013) " A visually-stunning, theatrically-showy spectacle that's as lavishly grandiose as one of Gatsby's grotesquely over-the-top shindigs." — NECN
Posted May 10, 2013
C- 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) " A movie so block-headed, so aimlessly busy, you'd think Michael Bay directed the thing. Actually, that would be an upgrade." — NECN
Posted May 3, 2013
F 42% To The Wonder (2013) " Malick's profound message permeating throughout: Living in Oklahoma blows." — NECN
Posted Apr 11, 2013
B+ 68% Trance (2013) " The film's sensory experience is too alluring to resist, Boyle salvaging his unduly swirly story with a slathering of his shimmering, sumptuous aesthetics." — NECN
Posted Apr 9, 2013
B 28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " Administers exhilaration without a Michael Bay level of enervation." — NECN
Posted Mar 29, 2013
B- 93% The Sapphires (2013) " The most affable, innocuous outing ever set in a war zone." — NECN
Posted Mar 27, 2013
A- 65% Spring Breakers (2013) " Korine kills it with a Britney Spears-backed montage of the pretty little gangsters protecting Franco's drug-trafficking turf. Gun-toting teens clad in string bikinis passing for high art? Indubitably." — NECN
Posted Mar 22, 2013
A 69% The Croods (2013) " The Croods is the most entertaining film of the year thus far -- a Neolithic knockout." — NECN
Posted Mar 21, 2013
D 38% Admission (2013) " Admission doesn't just misfire, it flatlines." — NECN
Posted Mar 20, 2013
B 95% West of Memphis (2012) " I would have preferred Jackson's clinically-presented project display a bit more reverence for the three young lives that were brutally taken some twenty years ago." — NECN
Posted Mar 18, 2013
D- 37% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " If The Incredible Burt Wonderstone were a real Vegas show, its rightful home would be amongst the rubble of an imploded casino." — NECN
Posted Mar 13, 2013
C- 59% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " The film's CGI'd talking monkey is more alive than Franco. And it totally looks fake." — NECN
Posted Mar 7, 2013
B+ 81% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " While Cianfrance's overambitious narrative and Crash-y conclusion come perilously close to bringing the film to its knees, the electrifying first half more than compensates. " — NECN
Posted Mar 5, 2013
C 67% Stoker (2013) " Dripping with mood but deprived of dynamics, Stoker fails as an overall film yet wonders with the wizardry of the man behind the cam." — NECN
Posted Mar 1, 2013
B- 27% Escape From Planet Earth (2013) " A surprisingly well-produced effort that fills the recent vacuum of family films without totally sucking." — NECN
Posted Feb 18, 2013
B- 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " A bombastic onslaught of smashed-up machinery and king-sized explosions that adequately sates your neanderthalic needs." — NECN
Posted Feb 14, 2013
C- 46% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " A supernatural spell of boringness smothers it all." — NECN
Posted Feb 12, 2013
C- 84% Side Effects (2013) " Its big twist is telegraphed so soon after its start, there's zero shock value and zero suspense as the film plods towards its pathetically pat ending." — NECN
Posted Feb 6, 2013
A 100% Sound City (2013) " An electrifying and enthralling labor of love that acts as a defibrillator for your creative juices." — NECN
Posted Feb 1, 2013
A- 80% Warm Bodies (2013) " It's hard to beat a brain-eating scene with John Waits' "Missing You" blaring in the background, the '80s ode to the forlorn has never sounded so grotesquely poignant." — NECN
Posted Jan 22, 2013
D 30% Broken City (2013) " A tedious, needlessly convoluted clunker." — NECN
Posted Jan 18, 2013
B 94% Amour (2012) " Haneke addresses the ravaging effects of aging in a starkly intimate way but Amour oddly lacks affectivity. Something that should be overflowing with emotion is strangely as sterile as Georges and Anne's Parisian apartment." — NECN
Posted Jan 16, 2013
B+ 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " It's the premium cast that redeems the project. " — NECN
Posted Jan 11, 2013
A- 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " While it's executed with the same level of meticulous precision as the raid itself, you can't help but wonder if Bigelow could have compressed things just a bit." — NECN
Posted Jan 11, 2013
C+ 81% The Impossible (2012) " The Impossible is immersive only when it's fully immersed." — NECN
Posted Jan 3, 2013
A 88% Django Unchained (2012) " At a shade under three hours, Django Unchained never once feels that length...a testament to the ferocity of Tarantino's fantastically unmannerly concoction." — NECN
Posted Dec 25, 2012
A 69% Les Misérables (2012) " This is filmmaking of the most opulent order -- par excellence." — NECN
Posted Dec 25, 2012
C- 52% This is 40 (2012) " Teetering between tepidly humorous and totally unfunny, Judd Apatow's crazy long crudefest plays like bits and pieces of a stand-up routine that would get a comedian booed off the stage." — NECN
Posted Dec 19, 2012
B+ 65% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " Packed with crescendos and crap-outs, Peter Jackson's mega-bloated beginning to Bilbo Baggins' pilgrimage across Middle-earth to Lonely Mountain both awes and bores." — NECN
Posted Dec 12, 2012
C 75% Killing Them Softly (2012) " Everything about the loaded-with-lowlives crime flick is elongated, extended to the very precipice of its expiration date." — NECN
Posted Nov 29, 2012
B- 63% Hitchcock (2012) " Mirren's "I am woman, hear me roar" nuclear weapon-level unloading on her hubby is a contender for the strongest acting moment this year - time stops, jaws drop when she unleashes it." — NECN
Posted Nov 28, 2012
B+ 88% Life of Pi (2012) " Serving up 2012's single most awe-inspiring stanza of cinema, Ang Lee's Life of Pi is a thing of beauty - a gorgeously presented piece of art." — NECN
Posted Nov 22, 2012
B- 13% Red Dawn (2012) " Shockingly tolerable and surprisingly entertaining. " — NECN
Posted Nov 19, 2012
A- 63% Anna Karenina (2012) " Breaking down the walls - literally - Wright has served up a silver screen stunner. Cue the standing ovation." — NECN
Posted Nov 15, 2012
D+ 92% Silver Linings Playbook (2012) " A thoroughly annoying and staggeringly laughless quirkfest featuring the most alarmingly miscast role of 2012." — NECN
Posted Nov 12, 2012
A- 89% Lincoln (2012) " Day-Lewis doesn't play Abraham Lincoln, he is Abraham Lincoln in a performance that will have you seriously questioning if what you're watching is a documentary shot in the 1860s." — NECN
Posted Nov 9, 2012
A- 92% Skyfall (2012) " With the onset of the sublime Skyfall, Daniel Craig officially wrests the title of "Best Bond Ever" from Connery, the British bulldog delivers a brilliant, bulldozing performance in a cinematic spectacular more streamlined than one of his Tom Ford suits." — NECN
Posted Nov 6, 2012
C 78% Flight (2012) " The only thing Zemeckis could have done to make Flight more of a chore to sit through beyond its stunning opening sequence, have a kid kick your seat-back for the protracted remainder of the flick." — NECN
Posted Oct 30, 2012
C 94% The Sessions (2012) " For the entire endeavor to emotionally register, you must buy into the romance that purportedly blossoms between Hawkes and Hunt. I didn't, not for a second." — NECN
Posted Oct 26, 2012
B+ 84% Smashed (2012) " Winstead's performance is sure to be remembered come awards season, it packs more punch than a bottle of Bacardi 151." — NECN
Posted Oct 25, 2012
C- 67% Cloud Atlas (2012) " The Wachowskis' monumentally ambitious sci-fi time-hopper demands a superhuman level of dedication and patience but the payoff isn't worth the labor required to endure its nearly three-hour runtime." — NECN
Posted Oct 24, 2012
A- 94% Hugo (2011) " A luminous triumph that may just remind you why our hearts leap when the lights go down in a movie theater." — NECN
Posted Oct 22, 2012
A- 98% The Artist (2011) " Its retro-retro take uniquely delivers the most crucial element of the moviegoing experience, the art of entertainment." — NECN
