Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
5/5	94%	Win Win (2011)	" Win Win is an all-around solid, well-written, brilliantly acted film that challenges and entertains. It's a no-lose proposition." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Apr 4, 2011
3/5	78%	Mooz-lum (2011)	" Poignant, relevant, and often quite moving in its characterizations." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Apr 4, 2011
4/5	83%	The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)	" The Lincoln Lawyer mines most of its success from a talented stable of actors, especially that of lead Matthew McConaughey." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Mar 26, 2011
	35%	Battle: Los Angeles (2011)	" Too caught up in trying to be a no-nonsense, Marine-recruitment war movie than on being an entertainment vehicle. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Mar 18, 2011
—	73%	Megamind (2010)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Mar 14, 2011
	29%	Take Me Home Tonight (2011)	" This film succeeds (just barely) not by poking fun at the '80s but by embracing the charm of its endearing lead actors. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Mar 11, 2011
3/5	29%	Take Me Home Tonight (2011)	" A film that succeeds (but just barely), not by poking fun at the decade of leg warmers, big hair, and even bigger cell phones, but rather by embracing the charm of its endearing lead actors." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Mar 7, 2011
5/5	81%	Four Lions (2010)	" The amount of edge to this edgy comedy and Morris's chutzpah for demanding that the film's tone and its uneasy ending remain intact throughout the film's financing." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Feb 28, 2011
	80%	Barney's Version (2011)	" Paul Giamatti once again bringing sweetness, compassion and lovability to a miserable cad of a character is a beautiful thing to see. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Feb 19, 2011

4/5	80%	Barney's Version (2011)	" While sometimes a little scatter-brained and occasionally a bit uneven, this wise, witty character piece feels much lighter and breezier than it actually is." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Feb 14, 2011
—	51%	The Switch (2010)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Feb 14, 2011

—	26%	Blade: Trinity (2004)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Feb 14, 2011
	4%	The Roommate (2011)	" This almost straight knock-off of 'Single White Female' is told in a colorless, A-to-Z manner with very little suspense, no clever twists, and no visual style. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Feb 10, 2011
	93%	Another Year (2010)	" An unassuming little masterpiece. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Feb 5, 2011
5/5	93%	Another Year (2010)	" Downbeat, slow, calculated and muted, Leigh's slice-of-life film often just lies there, studying a facial wrinkle, an empty wine glass, or a ripened fruit in the garden. But the linger displays a vividly intelligent knowledge of filmmaking." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 31, 2011
4/5	67%	The Company Men (2011)	" It's so well acted and constructed in such a manner it allows viewers the opportunity to absorb the concept of job loss, and more closely sympathize with those affected." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 24, 2011
5/5	88%	Blue Valentine (2010)	" It's this slow grinding down of the gears of marriage that Cianfrance brings so realistically to the big screen, aided by the heartfelt performances of Gosling and Williams that'll surely garner recognition come Oscar time." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 24, 2011
—	46%	Step Up 3-D (2010)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 24, 2011
	64%	Biutiful (2010)	" 'Biutiful' is not one of the year's five best films, but Javier Bardem's performance may very well be. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Jan 23, 2011

—	52%	Devil (2010)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 17, 2011
5/5	87%	Black Swan (2010)	" Aronofsky owes a bit of debt to Roman Polanski as he masterfully depicts the slow burn of the human spirit and the endless cycle of good and evil with Black Swan." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 17, 2011
2/5	88%	White Material (2010)	" While we get the idea Denis knows what she's doing with the metaphor of racial recompense in her movie, whether or not she "gets" the idea of fleshy, full-bodied characters grounded in a sense of viewer compassion is still up in the air." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Jan 17, 2011
	94%	The King's Speech (2010)	" The film begins to crackle with life the moment Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth first appear on screen together. Their playful banter offsets the story's gloomy backdrop. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 20, 2010
	20%	The Tourist (2010)	" Two of Hollywood's most glamorous and cherished Hollywood heartthrobs team up for what will likely go down as one of the year's most disappointing misfires." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Dec 13, 2010

—	74%	Splice (2010)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Nov 1, 2010
	68%	Conviction (2010)	" The real driving force behind the picture is the strong showing from a cast well-heeled in these emotionally hefty, dogged-determination films. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 29, 2010

	55%	Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)	" An unfocused mess teetering between revenge tale, family drama, coming-of-age story, morality tale, pointed satire and nostalgic remake. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 3, 2010
	52%	Devil (2010)	" A clever and dark little tale of horror with an entertaining 'whodunit' aspect to it. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Oct 1, 2010
—	16%	When in Rome (2010)	— Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Sep 20, 2010
	80%	Gran Torino (2009)	" If the rumors of this being Eastwood's final turn in front of the camera are true, then Gran Torino is a brilliant send off." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Sep 20, 2010
3/5	52%	Devil (2010)	" Devil deserves the attention it's likely to never receive." — Frank's Reel Reviews Posted Sep 20, 2010
	57%	Bran Nue Dae (2010)	" Doesn't hit on all cylinders but features some great original ideas and a bunch of catchy song and dance numbers sure to delight audiences of all ages. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 19, 2010
	97%	Animal Kingdom (2010)	" Its deliberate pacing is more potential energy than kinetic and reminds us of a Polanski slow burn. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews Posted Sep 11, 2010
