Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2.5/4	95%	West of Memphis (2012)	" The case is more intriguing than the film about it." — Boston Phoenix Posted Mar 13, 2013
2.5/4	88%	Yossi (2013)	" Fox has graduated from amateur to modest professional." — Boston Phoenix Posted Mar 7, 2013
1.5/4	25%	Phantom (2013)	" Crimson Tide this isn't." — Boston Phoenix Posted Feb 28, 2013
2/4	47%	The Sweeney (2013)	" The Sweeney was originally a 1970s TV show, but with the archetypal characters, the rote plot, and the nondescript gunfights, it feels more like an adaptation of a video game." — Boston Phoenix Posted Feb 28, 2013
2.5/4	60%	John Dies at the End (2013)	" With Coscarelli's kinetic camerawork and drugged-out, comic-book visuals, even the most confounding explanations are made palatable." — Boston Phoenix Posted Feb 21, 2013
—	93%	Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 22, 2013
—	59%	10 Years (2012)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 22, 2013
—	51%	Trouble with the Curve (2012)	— Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 22, 2013
2.5/4	88%	Life of Pi (2012)	" Life poses as a spiritual experience, but it's more like a postcard." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 8, 2013
1/4	85%	End of Watch (2012)	" It leaves you wondering -- who is filming the Gyllenhaal/Anna Kendrick love scenes?" — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 8, 2013
2.5/4	81%	The Impossible (2012)	" The hokum can wear you down worse than the tsunami." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jan 1, 2013
3.5/4	69%	Not Fade Away (2012)	" Chase's critical eye spares no one. This is his attempt to make the "Great American Film About Music." He almost succeeds." — Boston Phoenix Posted Dec 27, 2012
2/4	38%	Hyde Park on Hudson (2012)	" Most of the time it feels like an SNL sketch with all the punchlines removed." — Boston Phoenix Posted Dec 13, 2012
2/4	84%	Smashed (2012)	" The film is at its best only when its characters are at their worst." — Boston Phoenix Posted Oct 25, 2012
4/4	90%	Keep the Lights On (2012)	" In trying to capture a moment in time, Sachs has left nothing uncovered. Navigating his darkest moments with unsparing honesty, he finds a flicker of hope." — Boston Phoenix Posted Oct 11, 2012
3/4	88%	Head Games (2012)	" Seeing former NHL star Keith Primeau's teenage son light up to talk about how fighting is "pretty fun" gives us the conclusion the statistics can't yet provide: before the games can change, we need to." — Boston Phoenix Posted Oct 2, 2012
0.5/4	32%	Won't Back Down (2012)	" It's a corporate-studio movie purporting that the working class needs to turn against their unions to survive." — Boston Phoenix Posted Oct 2, 2012
1.5/4	28%	Backwards (2012)	" Even James Van Der Beek, so natural as a high school athletic director that you can't help but wonder if he's actually spent time in that job, can't save this film from drowning." — Boston Phoenix Posted Sep 26, 2012
	70%	Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)	" With such erratic construction, the scant 91-minute runtime feels like it goes on forever." — Boston Phoenix Posted Aug 16, 2012
3.5/4	77%	Killer Joe (2012)	" Friedkin directs; his taste for sadism has never been personified better than in McConaughey's unassuming-but-dangerous drawl." — Boston Phoenix Posted Aug 9, 2012
3/4	86%	Easy Money (2012)	" The most powerful moments involve private lives and social conflict, not gunfights. In this world, it's not the blood on your hands that brings you down - it's the stain on your cufflinks." — Boston Phoenix Posted Aug 2, 2012
2.5/4	71%	Sacrifice (2012)	" There are some wonderful wuxia-style fight scenes spread throughout, and a last duel finally shifts all the plodding backstory into a visual spectacle." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jul 25, 2012
3.5/4	86%	Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)	" One of the most assured debuts in years ... a portrait of the wonder and heartbreak that comes with being too young to understand what you experience." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jul 5, 2012
1.5/4	27%	High School (2012)	" A pot comedy that won't reward even the most easily satisfied stoner." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jun 8, 2012
1.5/4	20%	Chernobyl Diaries (2012)	" More akin to a meander through a haunted house than a fulfilling feature film." — Boston Phoenix Posted Jun 1, 2012
2/4	22%	What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012)	" Most of the time, the sentimental rom-com antics and underdeveloped archetypes feel as fake as the big bellies the ladies are showing off." — Boston Phoenix Posted May 17, 2012
