Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
43% Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight () " A bland Benjamin Walker and a scowling Pablo Schreiber add little depth to their roles as mouthpieces for either side of history. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Oct 3, 2013
* 8% Runner Runner (2013) " Watching Brad Furman's tedious 'Runner Runner' feels like learning the rules of a card game you don't want to play. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Oct 3, 2013
***** 97% Gravity (2013) " Cuaron has broken extraordinary ground here, creating a film-going immersion in outer space that, at least for those of us who've gotten no closer than an airplane allows, feels unfailingly right. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Oct 3, 2013
***** 92% Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) " The Coen Brothers' remarkable 'Inside Llewyn Davis' is a conjuring act of near-magical conviction, an ode to the artistic spirit that's as uncompromising as the troubled genius it chronicles. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Oct 1, 2013
94% Muscle Shoals (2013) " Ruminations on Native American legends and Helen Keller's water pump would be fine in an Alabama travelogue, but in 'Muscle Shoals?' Couldn't we please get back to "Mustang Sally?" " — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 29, 2013
89% After Tiller (2013) " "Its unflinching portrayal of what can only be called battle fatigue is indelible." — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 20, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " Howard -- who began his directing career with the fast-car drive-in classic "Grand Theft Auto" -- has an aficionado's ear for revved engines and whooshing chassis. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 20, 2013
81% Prisoners (2013) " Hugh Jackman and co-star Jake Gyllenhaal lead a superb cast -- and score career bests -- in this provocative tale of abducted children and parents pushed beyond limits." — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 20, 2013
71% Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve (2013) " The film would seem a likelier candidate for a PBS slot than a theatrical release, particularly in the first history-heavy section. Nor does Bruce offer much by way of specific, novel solutions." — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 12, 2013
33% The Family (2013) " Even the silliest contrivance can be forgiven when De Niro and Jones face off, their craggy, deadpan mugs telling tales all their own. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 12, 2013
59% Afternoon Delight (2013) " Half the title of Jill Soloway's "Afternoon Delight" is accurate, since some of the movie occurs before sundown. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 2, 2013
3% Getaway (2013) " "White House Down" all is forgiven! "Getaway" crashes into theaters as the summer's worst movie. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Sep 2, 2013
75% You're Next (2013) " "You're Next" finds its bullseye in the dark humor of familial ruthlessness and sibling rivalry. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 23, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " "World's End" had me feeling like a grumpy interloper at someone else's raucous reunion." — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 23, 2013
81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " With its outlaw heroes and gorgeous fields at twilight, David Lowery's "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" plays like a folk ballad, plaintive, aching and haunted. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 16, 2013
96% Cutie And The Boxer (2013) " Art and boxing make powerful metaphors -- for marriage and maybe life -- in Zachary Heinzerling's captivating documentary "Cutie and the Boxer." " — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 16, 2013
26% Jobs (2013) " Hollywood might someday design a sleek, prestige biopic worthy of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. For now, he's gotten a Dell. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 16, 2013
54% Lovelace (2013) " The thoughtful, uneven "Lovelace" reveals porn's first superstar as a battered, broken rebuke to the sex industry she epitomized. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 8, 2013
22% The Canyons (2013) " Any hope of sneaky commentary or ironic appropriation of porn's tawdry incompetence disappears long before Deen's pants. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Aug 1, 2013
**** 91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Blanche Dubois wanted magic. Jasmine French settles for a beach house in the Hamptons. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jul 28, 2013
* 20% Girl Most Likely (2013) " Ocean City, the New Jersey town battered by Hurricane Sandy, certainly didn't need the drab, unfunny "Girl Most Likely" invading its shores." — Bloomberg News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
***** 97% The Act Of Killing (2013) " Atrocity hides beneath a grandfather's gentle smile in "The Act of Killing," Joshua Oppenheimer's remarkable, unnerving documentary portrait of barbarity and its lasting legacies. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " Pacific Rim" stomps all over the rubble of old Japanese creature features, scorching away much of the rubber-suited fun of those early atomic age fancies. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jul 11, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " There's no shame in getting upstaged by Johnny Depp. Coming up third behind a dead crow, however, signals trouble." — Bloomberg News
Posted Jul 2, 2013
65% The Heat (2013) " Standard-issue for the point-and-shoot style that trains a camera on improvising actors. The outtakes might be hilarious." — Bloomberg News
Posted Jun 28, 2013
50% White House Down (2013) " Channing Tatum gives the lunkhead performance he's been outrunning for much of his career in Roland Emmerich's staggeringly bad action thriller. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jun 28, 2013
67% World War Z (2013) " How to fight the Zombie Apocalypse? Israel builds walls. North Korea yanks teeth. Somewhere in the Middle East, a nuke explodes. America recruits Brad Pitt. Smart move. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jun 24, 2013
99% 20 Feet From Stardom (2013) " The pantheon gets its overdue spotlight in Morgan Neville's "Twenty Feet From Stardom," a documentary nearly as glorious as the voices it celebrates." — Bloomberg News
Posted Jun 14, 2013
84% This Is the End (2013) " With lazy "Hangover" sequels and Adam Sandler movies still passing for big-screen comedy, the anarchic debut feature from directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg is fresher than anything this side of the Funny or Die website. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jun 11, 2013
79% Pussy Riot- - A Punk Prayer (2013) " "Pussy Riot" presents as full a portrait as we've seen of the three balaclava-wearing young women." — Bloomberg News

72% Wish You Were Here (2013) " Even at its slowest, the insinuating "Wish You Were Here" keeps its grip, like a dream you just can't shake. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Jun 6, 2013
75% The East (2013) " The movie's squishy moralism withstands only a tad more scrutiny than its plot contrivances." — Bloomberg News
Posted May 31, 2013
50% Now You See Me (2013) " It's a cheat even before taking a last-minute excursion into a more fantastical genre." — Bloomberg News
Posted May 31, 2013
19% The Hangover Part III (2013) " Cooper and especially Helms barely register, their boredom with the franchise bordering on disdain. Cooper repeatedly asks a question that, sans obscenities, translates to "Who cares?"" — Bloomberg News
Posted May 23, 2013

Posted May 23, 2013
87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " Convoluted, sure. But compare it to "The Great Gatsby" for a quick (or not) lesson in the difference between exhilarating and exhausting." — Bloomberg News
Posted May 14, 2013
77% Venus And Serena (2013) " Devoted, protective and domineering, Richard Williams all but steals the film, his personality dimmed not a whit since the days he learned tennis from a book so he could teach his young daughters on the public courts of Compton, California. " — Bloomberg News
Posted May 9, 2013
49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" is a gaudy, Ritz-sized rhinestone of a movie, more flashy than dazzling, beguiling from some angles and phony to its core. " — Bloomberg News
Posted May 9, 2013
79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Black (co-writing with Drew Pearce) certainly has a knack for poking exposed cultural nerves. Limbless war veterans, terrorist videos and a mass shooting find their way into his fantasy. No wonder Iron Man has PTSD. " — Bloomberg News
Posted May 3, 2013
67% The Iceman (2013) " Michael Shannon's clenched jaw finds its ideal role in Ariel Vromen's taut hit-man saga "The Iceman." " — Bloomberg News
Posted May 3, 2013
69% Greetings From Tim Buckley (2013) " The minor-key recreation of New York's burgeoning music scene feels authentic and Badgley nails the best scene: Jeff breaking into an impromptu record-store performance that's as funny as it is desperate for attention. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 30, 2013
55% The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) " The heavy-handedness -- the strip-search begins with the loud thwack of rubber gloves -- reduces Hamid's characters to talking points. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 26, 2013
98% Mud (2013) " Buy a boat in a tree, and you'll buy anything. And so we do in "Mud," Jeff Nichols's yarn about a charming outlaw on the run, drizzled with Tennessee Williams lyricism and Huck-and-Tom adventure. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 26, 2013
49% Pain & Gain (2013) " Bay doesn't have the operatic panache of Quentin Tarantino. At well over two hours, "Pain and Gain" should have gone for lean and mean. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 26, 2013
54% Oblivion (2013) " as Jack Harper, Cruise, at his wrinkle-free handsomest, fits perfectly into Kosinski's worlds -- both the soulless universe of 2077 and the emotionally beige movie of 2013. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 18, 2013
67% Disconnect (2013) " Andrew Stern's script nearly convinces us it has something to say beyond, "Internet, scary; people, alienated."" — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 12, 2013
44% To The Wonder (2013) " All things most certainly do not work together for the good. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 12, 2013
62% Evil Dead (2013) " ...straight-ahead horror, challenging itself scene by scene with gross-out effects and diminishing body parts. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " As schematic as a family tree." — Bloomberg News
