Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2.5/4	78%	Iron Man 3 (2013)	" The first film might have been able to get by on charm alone, but the mechanical feeling of this entry will more than likely leave you cold and indifferent." — Examiner.com Posted May 2, 2013
4/5	92%	Funny Girl (1968)	" While the film has a few flaws that stop it from being as great as it could be, this is an excellent release of the classic musical that is a must-own for fans." — We Got This Covered Posted Apr 29, 2013
1/4	47%	The Lords of Salem (2013)	" "The Lords of Salem" presents an even bigger mess than usual. As the film progresses, you get inklings of a plot here and there, but one never wholly materializes, making for an incoherent and extraordinarily dull affair." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 26, 2013
3/4	54%	The Company You Keep (2013)	" Overall, this is a film that works pretty well. It has its kinks, but thanks to a top-notch cast and an intriguing mystery that keeps the audience entertained, it ends up being worth the two-hour investment." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 25, 2013
2.5/4	76%	Kon Tiki (2013)	" "Kon-Tiki" ends up being a little underwhelming, lacking the strength that such a story deserves. There are parts of it that work pretty well, but sadly, more often than not, it leaves you feeling adrift." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 25, 2013
2.5/4	56%	Oblivion (2013)	" This is one that we'll basically have to write off as a missed opportunity. It looks great and is mildly interesting at times, but in the end, there's just not much that's particularly memorable here." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 18, 2013
2/4	42%	To The Wonder (2013)	" There are ideas that are trying to come out in this film, but as to how successful Malick is in conveying those ideas on screen is where the film loses a lot of its effect." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 15, 2013
2.5/4	62%	Evil Dead (2013)	" The whole purpose behind this remake seems to be the same one behind many horror films these days: to throw as many buckets of blood around on the screen as you possibly can." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 4, 2013
2/4	79%	Ginger & Rosa (2013)	" "Ginger & Rosa" is another one of those films that feels like it's attempting to cover too much, and by doing so, ends up spreading itself rather thin across all of the areas it tries to encompass." — Examiner.com Posted Apr 4, 2013
3/4	69%	The Croods (2013)	" "The Croods" is a touching animated film that not only entertains, but also delivers a sweet message about families and how change can be a good thing." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 24, 2013
1.5/4	45%	On the Road (2012)	" This makes for a rather uninspired film that, despite being based off of a novel considered a classic, fails to grab the viewer's attention with its meandering storyline and characters that drift in and out of the picture." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 21, 2013
2/4	39%	The Call (2013)	" Whatever the intent was, what we get is one of the most hilarious and unbelievable thrillers made in the last few years." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 14, 2013
6/10	33%	Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)	" Great production design and a couple well done action scenes make this one somewhat enjoyable." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 13, 2013
3/10	16%	Priest (2011)	" Priest is one of those films you will forget about approximately five minutes after it's over. There is absolutely nothing memorable here." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 13, 2013
2/4	39%	The ABCs of Death (2013)	" This could have been an interesting opportunity to make short vignettes about the nature of death, which would have made for a far more fascinating film, but unfortunately, many of the filmmakers opted to try and gross out the audience instead." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 7, 2013
3.5/5	75%	The Intouchables (2012)	" Despite the blu-ray having little to offer in the way of special features, the film is more than recommendable on its own thanks to its amazing charm and the wonderful performances from Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 5, 2013
5/10	76%	The Bay (2012)	" Levinson should have been far more concerned about his story rather than the method in which he presented it." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 4, 2013
7/10	70%	Horrible Bosses (2011)	" Horrible Bosses is very funny and features a great cast that exudes wonderful chemistry." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 2, 2013
6/10	78%	Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)	" Crazy, Stupid, Love has several humorous spots and is filled with good performances from the entire cast." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 28, 2013
6/10	26%	Colombiana (2011)	" Colombiana contains some thrilling scenes as well as an interesting sense of twisted humor, but there's not enough here to really keep us engaged." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 28, 2013
3/5	63%	Sinister (2012)	" Sinister creates a fantastic horror atmosphere that will fill you with a sense of dread, but the film's stretched out mystery and awful soundtrack only serve to hold it back." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 18, 2013
5/10	87%	Robot & Frank (2012)	" "Robot & Frank" is not a bad film, and yet, it's incredibly easy to start forgetting it even as it's playing. It's so light and airy that there's not really anything to grasp within it." — Examiner.com Posted Feb 11, 2013
4/10	8%	11-11-11 (2011)	" With 11-11-11, Darren Lynn Bousman is merely insulting the audience with this poor excuse for a plot and its ludicrous ending" — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 9, 2013
2.5/5	70%	Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)	" The writers behind Celeste and Jesse Forever do their best to avoid the standard rom-com formula, but they don't manage to get away from it entirely. As a consequence, the characters are annoying and unbelievable, making the film the exact same." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 4, 2013
2.5/5	12%	Alex Cross (2012)	" Alex Cross is an extremely generic detective story plagued with problems ranging from the poor casting of Tyler Perry to Rob Cohen's bad direction. " — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 4, 2013
4/10	39%	Here Comes the Boom (2012)	" Basically, what you get with "Here Comes the Boom" is a completely unbelievable story that is based on a foundation that doesn't contain the least bit of originality." — Examiner.com Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/4	37%	Stand Up Guys (2013)	" There's far too much meandering here for it to make much of an impact. If [Heidle] had buckled down and concentrated on the most important element of the story, he really could have had an intriguing character study." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 31, 2013
5/10	82%	Seven Psychopaths (2012)	" This is a film with a lot of interesting elements to it, but sadly it just never comes together. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's a mess, but the structure of it could have used a bit of an overhaul." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 28, 2013
7/10	——	The Liability (2013)	" Don't let the direct-to-DVD status of the project fool you. "The Liability" is a film that has a decent amount of entertainment to offer, particularly with the story and characters." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 28, 2013
2/4	40%	Parker (2013)	" Oh Jason Statham, will you ever stop making the same movie over and over again?" — Examiner.com Posted Jan 28, 2013
2/4	60%	John Dies at the End (2013)	" However daring it may be, unfortunately it never comes together into a cohesive whole. What could have just been a bizarre visual feast ends up getting distracted with a muddled plot that merely sells out in the end." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 24, 2013
7/10	79%	The Innkeepers (2012)	" Sometimes all it takes to make a decent little horror film is some good atmosphere and realistic characters." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 23, 2013
6/10	74%	Rampart (2012)	" Rampart doesn't end up having as much emotional punch to it as The Messenger did, mainly because it feels as though the idea was not thought out to completion." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 23, 2013
7/10	94%	The Secret World of Arrietty (2012)	" The Secret World of Arrietty is a return to the land of imagination that is so often the basis for these beautiful films, which continually show that animation can be so much more than just a cartoon." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 23, 2013
5/10	57%	Detachment (2012)	" While Adrien Brody gives it his all in his performance, the film suffers greatly from an attempt to equalize its multiple plotlines." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 22, 2013
6/10	44%	Brake (2012)	" While the film is suspenseful for awhile, it ultimately becomes a let down because of a stretched out story and an absurd ending." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
2/10	0%	Dark Tide (2012)	" With its one-dimensional characters and lack of an engaging plot, Dark Tide will test the patience of even the most patient moviegoer. " — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
5/10	9%	ATM (2012)	" ATM's flawed premise leads to a film that lacks the necessary tension and character development to keep the audience engaged in the story. Furthermore, the characters' unwillingness to act on their situation merely makes for a very frustrating film." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
5/10	62%	We Have a Pope (2012)	" While We Have a Pope contains an interesting idea for a film, it ultimately fails to portray the struggle Cardinal Melville is going through, which is the centerpiece of the entire film." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
6/10	38%	Touchback (2012)	" Touchback is a sweet family film that ultimately lacks enough insight into the main character's thought process as he struggles to make a decision that could change his life." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
4/10	53%	Think Like a Man (2012)	" Think Like a Man tries to tackle more characters than it can handle, making for a mess of a film that ultimately feels like a two-hour advertisement for Steve Harvey's book." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
7/10	97%	Monsieur Lazhar (2012)	" While it may not stand out from similar movies, Monsieur Lazhar is a sweet film with a simple story and remains engaging thanks in large part to Mohamed Fellag's charming performance." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
7/10	67%	God Bless America (2012)	" Bobcat Goldthwait's God Bless America works well as a black comedy and as a satirical look at pop culture and human behavior." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
7/10	78%	The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)	" The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a true example of an ensemble piece where a group of veteran actors show that they are just as good as they ever were." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
5/10	43%	To Rome with Love (2012)	" There are some things to like about "To Rome with Love," but when you weigh all four stories together, you'll more than likely find that it's not worth sitting through due to the weaker ones." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 14, 2013
5/10	39%	The Possession (2012)	" The Possession is a very standard horror tale that scores a point or two for some unintentional laughs, but none for originality or scares." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 14, 2013
3/10	10%	Branded (2012)	" Branded attempts to deliver a message about the nature of advertising and consumerism, but that message gets buried in a completely nonsensical mess of a film." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 14, 2013
3/4	93%	Zero Dark Thirty (2013)	" While "Zero Dark Thirty" is a decent telling of these events, I'm forced to reach the same conclusion that I did with "The Hurt Locker." It's a good film overall, but not the great film I've been hearing about." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 10, 2013
1.5/4	11%	House at the End of the Street (2012)	" House at the End of the Street is nothing more than a lazily-written horror film that falls back on every cliche possible while failing to provide any scares in the process." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 7, 2013
