Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
C+	——	Java Heat (2013)	" An action movie for people who don't mind clichéd plotting, lame dialogue, and the low-wattage charisma of third-string Twilight heartthrob Kellan Lutz." — AV Club Posted May 9, 2013
B-	46%	Peeples (2013)	" It's a light and occasionally very funny movie; its critical stance-a goldmine for Perryologists-comes more from context than content." — AV Club Posted May 9, 2013
1.5/4	8%	The Big Wedding (2013)	" The movie is bland hackwork; its crime isn't incompetence, but indifference." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Apr 25, 2013
2/4	56%	Oblivion (2013)	" If nothing else, "Oblivion" will go down in film history as the movie where Tom Cruise pilots a white, sperm-shaped craft into a giant space uterus." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Apr 21, 2013
3/4	68%	Trance (2013)	" Viewers who get hung up on story logic - or prefer movies that feature at least one sympathetic character - will spend much of "Trance"'s 101 minutes gritting their teeth." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Apr 4, 2013
2.5/4	70%	Wrong (2013)	" Composed of skit-like scenes and populated by gimmicky characters, the movie is flimsy, glib, and occasionally pretty funny." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Mar 28, 2013
2/4	39%	The Call (2013)	" A sputtering, so-so B thriller with a neat hook but very little personality." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Mar 14, 2013
3/4	88%	Yossi (2013)	" It's serious about its characters and their emotions, but still finds room for humor." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Mar 8, 2013
3/4	63%	The Monk (2013)	" "The Monk" is, first and foremost, a classy B-movie, keen to offer Gothic atmosphere, nudity, and mild shocks." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Mar 7, 2013
3/4	100%	Pavilion (2013)	" If you're already on the movie's wavelength, it can be entrancing. If not, "Pavilion" may come off as flat and aimless." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Mar 1, 2013
2.5/4	80%	North Sea Texas (2012)	" It's not just that film is underdeveloped - it's that it feels unwilling to develop, preferring to leave its characters and plot points static. The result feels stunted." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Feb 14, 2013
	88%	The Turin Horse (2012)	" Through Tarr's meticulous vision, these ordinary hardships take on cosmic weight; this is tedium vividly rendered." — Chicago Reader Posted Apr 6, 2012
	86%	The Forgiveness of Blood (2012)	" It's intelligent, well-intentioned, and largely inert." — Chicago Reader Posted Mar 8, 2012
	44%	The Catechism Cataclysm (2011)	" A lot of it is tedious and directionless." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	50%	The Rum Diary (2011)	" This very funny, keenly observant movie meanders in the best way possible." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	73%	Like Crazy (2011)	" All that's left is this foolish idea that they're supposed to be together. It's like... they're crazy." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	47%	Anonymous (2011)	" This movie is lurid fun that is much smarter than it has any business being." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	84%	Puss in Boots (2011)	" Avoids all the worst tendencies of the later Shrek movies." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	38%	Johnny English Reborn (2011)	" It's really the directing in this film that really fouls it all up." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	24%	The Three Musketeers (2011)	" If you want over-the-top entertainment that doesn't respect the laws of physics, you can't do much better than this." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	33%	Texas Killing Fields (2011)	" A pretty routine police procedural with...a little bit of regional flavor." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	88%	Margin Call (2011)	" A film like this -- with a large cast and a big subject -- needs a clear, concise vision, a strong hand, and Margin Call just doesn't have it." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	84%	Mysteries of Lisbon (2011)	" It is four and a half hours long, but it's got enough plot for at least 30 movies." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	29%	The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011)	" It tries to be more disgusting, more outrageous than this idea of a 12-person human centipede. The result is, by design, absolutely no good." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	0%	Father of Invention (2011)	" Though it's got a few good ideas going for it, Father of Invention doesn't seem to know what kind of movie it wants to be." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	12%	Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011)	" There's a germ of a light, goofy kids movie somewhere in here, but it's buried under a pile of clichés." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	66%	The Women on the 6th Floor (2011)	" They romanticize the whole idea of these women. I mean, they're all essentially interchangeable." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	71%	Footloose (2011)	" I'm sure there was some great choreography and some great dancing that went into this movie. You don't see any of it." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	72%	Carnage (2011)	" Great material, and it's got a really great sense of momentum." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	60%	Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)	" It feels like the fourth or fifth film in a tired franchise." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	60%	Real Steel (2011)	" Never in a million years did I think that I would enjoy a boxing robot movie from the director of Night at the Museum." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	98%	The Artist (2011)	" Dujardin's performance carries it forward like an adventure actor of the period." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	85%	The Ides of March (2011)	" It's clear the Ides of March is about the nuts and bolts of politics." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	80%	Shame (2011)	" So much of it is ambiguous and vague, it's almost as if McQueen didn't fully think it through." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	83%	Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)	" It's this bleak sensibility that makes it so effective as a thriller." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	90%	Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)	" A really cleverly made movie." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	93%	Take Shelter (2011)	" The role of Curtis in this film is a perfect fit for Shannon's intense and slightly unhinged screen persona." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	93%	Elite Squad: The Enemy Within (2011)	" The entire last half hour is just incredibly disingenuous." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 4, 2012
	86%	The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)	" I liked it a lot." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	89%	The Descendants (2011)	" Director Alexander Payne's best film." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	93%	50/50 (2011)	" This film is thin." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	93%	Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011)	" It has a few very good ideas, and then, the rest of it is totally lackluster." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	94%	Hugo (2011)	" The energy that's behind all of [Scorsese's] films is definitely present here." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	93%	Drive (2011)	" The real star of this film is the direction of cult Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, making his Hollywood debut." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	95%	Moneyball (2011)	" I enjoyed this film... with certain reservations." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	96%	The Muppets (2011)	" A good imitation of the Muppet style." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Jan 3, 2012
	41%	Special Treatment (2011)	" Though the parallels drawn between therapy and prostitution grow tiresome, the duo's interaction is peppered with inspired comedic moments." — Chicago Reader Posted Oct 13, 2011
	84%	Mysteries of Lisbon (2011)	" Despite the running time (an even longer version was broadcast on Portuguese TV), the movie is never sluggish; on the contrary, it's smart, energetic filmmaking that also makes for engrossing entertainment." — Chicago Reader Posted Sep 15, 2011
	78%	Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)	" I feel like it is trying to be too many things at once." — Ebert Presents At The Movies Posted Aug 2, 2011
