T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
92%	Skyfall (2012)	" Too often this martini is sloppy, not smooth." — Trespass Posted Nov 22, 2012
87%	Frankenweenie (2012)	" Visually captivating and smartly written, Frankenweenie brings Tim Burton's career back from the metaphorical dead." — Trespass Posted Oct 25, 2012
96%	Argo (2012)	" The real Argo that's landing in cinemas now shouldn't be mistaken as anything other than a spellbinding, old-fashioned thriller. I've got sweaty palms and an elevated pulse to prove that it's one of the year's very best films." — Trespass Posted Oct 25, 2012
51%	Savages (2012)	" Its energy has long deflated before an ending that will try the patience of even the most forgiving viewers. There's little to defend once Stone and company have so eagerly adopted the cheap twists of a latter day Shyamalan picture." — Trespass Posted Oct 18, 2012
68%	Wuthering Heights (2012)	" Wuthering Heights is an audacious retelling of the famous story; a unique retelling that should be championed and celebrated." — Trespass Posted Oct 12, 2012
47%	Bait (2012)	" There are giggles a plenty to be had, but I suspect they'd be more enjoyable on the couch with some beers and friends where yelling stuff at the screen is encouraged. Bait 3D lacks bite." — Trespass Posted Sep 20, 2012
79%	Ruby Sparks (2012)	" While the ending certainly falls prey to the sort of things the rest of the movie is subverting, it throws enough curveballs into the typical Hollywood romcom formula to feel fresh. " — Trespass Posted Sep 20, 2012
83%	Your Sister's Sister (2012)	" A wonderfully funny and uncharacteristically easy take on a genre that has been in disrepair for some time." — Trespass Posted Sep 6, 2012
74%	Prometheus (2012)	" It's an impressive accomplishment, but one that is destined to leave some with un-met expectations." — Trespass Posted Jun 6, 2012
36%	Iron Sky (2012)	" It's just not smart enough to truly work." — Trespass Posted May 10, 2012
79%	The Deep Blue Sea (2012)	" Thank heavens then for Weisz whose fierce, but rarely in a fashion that distracts from the hushed events around it, performance sees the actress wrapping her tongue around the fabulous dialogue." — Trespass Posted Apr 11, 2012
59%	Any Questions for Ben? ()	" It's slight and rarely laugh out loud funny-pleasant and occasionally chucklesome is an apt way to describe its loose style-but in the end I found myself smiling along to the proceedings, so I guess that's a win." — Trespass Posted Feb 10, 2012
99%	This Is Not a Film (2012)	" Panahi is deconstructing the very idea of film. Does merely putting something on camera instantly make it a film? That's for you to judge - and, I suppose, the Iranian government." — Trespass Posted Nov 10, 2011
36%	The Thing (2011)	" The filmmakers were so concerned about disappointing fans of the original that they failed to do anything all their own. Just watch the original and see how it should be done." — Trespass Posted Oct 12, 2011
71%	Footloose (2011)	" Not even a rather obvious lack of interest in the adult actors amongst can stop Footloose from finally becoming the film that 1980s nostalgia would have us assume the original is." — Trespass Posted Oct 5, 2011
4%	Abduction (2011)	" Lautner isn't much of an actor and behind his face is a brain ticking away at one kilometre per hour with the repetitive long-held close-ups of his face yielding no more emotional insights than the equally long close-ups of his stomach" — Trespass Posted Sep 21, 2011
84%	The Tree of Life (2011)	" Lapses in narrative cohesion are easily more forgivable than lapses in heart, talent and intelligence, which are all things The Tree of Life has in spades." — Trespass Posted Jun 30, 2011
38%	Cars 2 (2011)	" There is nothing here to justify a sequel, other than the merchandising revenue. What they have given us is a limp, over-stuffed film that lacks class." — Trespass Posted Jun 24, 2011
90%	Bridesmaids (2011)	" Despite its flaws there's no denying that it is actually very funny and that Wiig gives a powerhouse performance full of nuance and wit." — Trespass Posted Jun 15, 2011
88%	X-Men: First Class (2011)	" A fun rejuvenation of the franchise and one that will surely have fans wanting even more. " — Trespass Posted Jun 1, 2011
66%	Insidious (2011)	" For the majority of its running time Insidious is a scary good time at the movies." — Trespass Posted May 12, 2011
91%	Source Code (2011)	" Jones' smart handling of the genre is a breath of fresh air, but his messages feel slightly hampered by the bigger studio budget as opposed to his fabulous debut, Moon." — Trespass Posted May 4, 2011
72%	Rio (2011)	" Provides enough excitement and unabashed joy that allows its brisk 90 minutes to drift on by in a haze of neon-coloured feathers and catchy tunes." — Trespass Posted Apr 8, 2011
64%	Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011)	" It's a mass-marketing effort sure, but a surprisingly entertaining one." — Trespass Posted Apr 8, 2011
23%	Sucker Punch (2011)	" An often boring, frequently confusing and always stupid mish-mash of clichés and CGI excess and all in Snyder's trademark exacerbating slow motion." — Trespass Posted Apr 6, 2011
71%	Never Let Me Go (2010)	" Never Let Me Go is such a curiously muted viewing experience. Everything is there for a three-tissue weepie, but it never quite comes together." — Trespass Posted Mar 30, 2011
77%	In A Better World (2011)	" May be one of the most old-fashioned pieces of filmmaking you'll see this year, but that doesn't make it any less fascinating as it wields a dramatic left-hook to the gut." — Trespass Posted Mar 30, 2011
35%	Battle: Los Angeles (2011)	" You'd be forgiven for crying after witnessing it purely out of sadness for the art of cinema. " — Trespass Posted Mar 16, 2011
68%	Conviction (2010)	" If Conviction had felt as edgy and urgent as Lewis' performance, brimming with surprising comedy and unhinged tension, then it would be far more enticing." — Trespass Posted Feb 24, 2011
86%	Rabbit Hole (2010)	" Rabbit Hole may sound bleak, and it surely is at times, but its refreshingly unhistrionic take on the subject coupled with Kidman's mammoth performance make it a rewarding experience." — Trespass Posted Feb 16, 2011
93%	127 Hours (2010)	" Don't let the violence put you off like it has with audiences in America, 127 Hours is a mountain of a film that is worth climbing." — Trespass Posted Feb 8, 2011
71%	Somewhere (2010)	" Somewhere is the closest cinema has come in 2010 to capturing a state of melancholy bliss; you may walk out feeling sad, but there's a sense of warmth that comes afterwards and that's a strange, but harmonious, marriage." — Trespass Posted Dec 20, 2010
48%	Love and Other Drugs (2010)	" Avoid at all costs." — Trespass Posted Dec 14, 2010
73%	Megamind (2010)	" It's just a shame the filmmakers didn't have any tricks up their sleeve to enliven a rather rote superhero movie experience." — Trespass Posted Dec 7, 2010
52%	Devil (2010)	" When Devil tries to be scary, however, it more-or-less succeeds." — Trespass Posted Nov 30, 2010
72%	Monsters (2010)	" Monsters was a mesmerising experience at the cinema and a magic career-making debut from Edwards." — Trespass Posted Nov 23, 2010
79%	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010)	" Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will appeal to those who have followed the books and the films, but we'll have to wait until July 2011 for the big firework display." — Trespass Posted Nov 15, 2010
57%	Summer Coda ()	" Summer Coda has a lot to recommend -- and a recommendation this review most surely is -- but its visual splendour can often be in service of a film that doesn't quite have enough to say." — Trespass Posted Oct 19, 2010
94%	The Town (2010)	" Richly rewarding and should be devoured by adult cinemagoers in a sea of mediocre titles at the multiplex." — Trespass Posted Oct 15, 2010
89%	Let Me In (2010)	" Fails to add anything to set it apart and there's no reason to prefer this to the fine Swedish original." — Trespass Posted Oct 15, 2010
55%	Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)	" Unfortunately, whether Stone admits it or not, the 1987 original is not a good movie -- Michael Douglas' iconic Oscar-winning performance notwithstanding -- and this sequel, timely as it is, suffers from similar issues." — Trespass Posted Sep 20, 2010
52%	Going the Distance (2010)	" The writing here is really quite endearing and Burstein's use of hand-held camera in several scenes helps add spontaneity to the proceedings that enlivens what could have been otherwise stale material." — Trespass Posted Aug 31, 2010
41%	The Expendables (2010)	" The Expendables is preaching to the choir, but that choir will surely lap it up with relish." — Trespass Posted Aug 9, 2010
86%	The Special Relationship (2010)	" Sheen, quite frankly, looks bored out of his mind here and Loncraine's direction is flat and technically unadventurous. "Special" is definitely the wrong word to use to describe this relationship." — Trespass Posted Aug 3, 2010
85%	Me and Orson Welles (2009)	" Me and Orson Welles, whilst slight, should appeal to stage and screen buffs." — Trespass Posted Jul 29, 2010
