Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
2/5 25% Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) " Paranormal Activity 4 is the worst of the series and one of the worst horror films ever made. It's bloated, drawn-out and has no idea how to provide a single scare." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/5 44% The Paperboy (2012) " Lee Daniels' The Paperboy is a steamy, sweaty and trashy piece of cinema that rarely gets by on its filthy and wild performances." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 26, 2013
2/5 21% Taken 2 (2012) " Taken 2 is a pointless sequel that tries to capitalize on everything that worked in the first film, without actually including any of it." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 21, 2013
4/10 —— Hijacked (2012) " Hijacked is the typical straight-to-home video B movie trash that you'd expect. Randy Couture makes the film somewhat enjoyable, but only because his deadpan acting is hilarious." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
4.5/10 13% Piranha 3DD (2012) " John Gulager's Piranha 3DD is a far cry from Alexandre Aja's gory, fun and campy horror flick from 2010. The sequel tries being even more over-the-top, but ends up sinking in its own cheap budget and rushed production." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
5/10 43% Mother's Day (2012) " The film is a mindless mess that piles on mistake after mistake in a hurry. The characters are as dumb as they come and the direction is simple and lacking." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
5/10 51% Contraband (2012) " Contraband is a gritty, curse-filled heist film that wastes more time on cliches than trying to keep you focused on the task at hand." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
5/10 41% Silent House (2012) " Elizabeth Olsen's scream-filled performance, combined with the one take filming technique and the minimal lighting make Silent House a creepy and atmospheric film, but the script only has enough material for 25 good minutes." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
5/10 —— One in the Chamber (2012) " William Kaufman's One in the Chamber is exactly what you'd expect for a straight-to-home video release from Anchor Bay." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
5.5/10 60% Breathless (2012) " Breathless is a dark and twisted character comedy that works because of the performances by the cast members, but doesn't work because of the story and just how simple it is." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
3/5 51% Promised Land (2013) " Gus Van Sant's Promised Land is an engaging performance-driven drama that works more often than not." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 7, 2013
3/5 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad attempts to recreate mobster magic, but ends up fumbling into an endless amount of clichés and some horrid digital photography to boot." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 23, 2013
3/5 13% Red Dawn (2012) " Dan Bradley's Red Dawn does a fine job distancing itself from the original, but while doing so becomes a mostly mindless action picture with a rather shallow message." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 10, 2013
3/5 49% The Man With the Iron Fists (2012) " The Man with the Iron Fists is an off-balanced and bloated martial arts film that barely gets by on its gorgeous set design." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 17, 2013
6/10 67% Lawless (2012) " Lawless had great potential, but due to a poor storytelling technique that causes the film to be rather dull, we merely end up with a film that just looks good." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 27, 2012
6/10 21% Madea's Witness Protection (2012) " Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection is typical Perry fluff, but entertaining none-the-less. It's not his strongest Madea film, but it certainly isn't his worst. I'd peg it somewhere in the middle." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 19, 2012
6/10 65% The Campaign (2012) " Jay Roach's The Campaign can be funny at times, but it's mostly an exercise of patience as two usually funny men scrape the bottom of the barrel for some truly unfunny jokes. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis have both been in much better films." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 11, 2012
6/10 29% Red Lights (2012) " Red Lights is proof that Rodrigo Cortés knows how to shoot a film and make it look gorgeous. It's also proof that a cast list as strong as this one still can't overcome a weak script that fizzles out by the second act." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 7, 2012
6/10 44% American Reunion (2012) " American Reunion is the worst slice of pie yet. All of the jokes are ten years too old and none of the serious dramatic turns amounts to anything." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
6/10 53% Being Flynn (2012) " Being Flynn is a revealing and true film with a universal message, but the lack of bonus material makes the Blu-Ray a rental at best." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
6/10 32% Intruders (2012) " Intruders is a complete failure. Clive Owen's performance is off-balance and out of focus, while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's direction is full of overused horror shots, which elicit not a single scare." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
6.5/10 41% Lovely Molly (2012) " Eduardo Sanchez has proven his worth and his inability to direct a proper horror film with Lovely Molly. His lack-of-reveal style doesn't add up in this scare-less waste of time." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
6.5/10 86% Sixteen Candles (1984) " John Hughes' Sixteen Candles still remains a classic coming-of-age tale that resonates now just as well as it did in the 80s. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
6.5/10 35% The Victim (2012) " Michael Biehn's directorial debut disappointingly crumbles under its own cheap production. The Victim is nothing more than a nude-heavy bore-fest that claims to be a thriller." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
3.5/5 65% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " The Hobbit may not be as memorable as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it's a mostly faithful adaptation that sticks to the same tones and themes of the source material." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 23, 2013
3.5/5 88% Life of Pi (2012) " Ang Lee's Life of Pi is a visual masterpiece, often transcending the boundaries of special effects and what they're capable of, but the film's actual story is hollow." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 23, 2013
3.5/5 85% The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) " Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of the best coming-of-age stories I've seen in years, thanks to his enduring and truthful script." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 17, 2013
3.5/5 85% End of Watch (2012) " David Ayer's End of Watch is an unflinching cop drama that uses the handheld approach to heighten the drama and escalate the tension." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 23, 2013
7/10 46% Everybody's Fine (2009) " Kirk Jones' Everybody's Fine is 2/3 a sturdy family drama, anchored by a four pack of suitable performances and a touching story." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
7/10 76% Premium Rush (2012) " David Koepp's Premium Rush is an energetic and creative way to kill an hour and a half without feeling like a complete waste of time." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 3, 2013
7/10 48% The FP (2012) " The FP is visually engaging and full of odd concepts, but not once does the film feel like anything more than a big joke. There's talent buried somewhere underneath all of the homages to The Warriors, I'm just not sure where." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
7/10 98% The Artist (2011) " The Artist is the definitive example of grade A Oscar bait. Aside from its two breakout performances by the leads, it's essentially a tribute to black and white silent films. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
7/10 38% Lockout (Unrated) (2012) " Guy Pearce channels his inner badass as the film's lead. His cross between John McClane and Snake Plissken injects the film with much-needed comedy." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10 80% Get the Gringo (2012) " Get the Gringo is over-the-top fun in the cheapest of ways, but Gibson's comedy mixed with the multiple bloody shootouts makes it a worthwhile rental." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10 44% Casa de mi padre (2012) " Casa de mi Padre is Will Ferrell's weirdest film yet, paying complete homage to Spanish westerns while also becoming its own film." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10 17% LOL (2012) " LOL is your standard teenage coming-of-age affair. Nothing about the film strikes as thoughtful or deep, with director Lisa Azuelos keeping things mostly uncomplicated and easy to watch." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7/10 20% The Lucky One (2012) " The Lucky One isn't the best Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it's not the worst. It makes for yet another harmless romance that excels because of the chemistry between its two leads." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7/10 85% Sleepwalk With Me (2012) " Ultimately, the film becomes an admirable, but flawed piece of work. The comedy bits work well, but the overall story leaves something to be desired." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
7.5/10 70% Men in Black III (2012) " Men in Black 3 is a fun and entertaining film that comes to Blu-Ray with great quality and a wonderful selection of special features." — We Got This Covered
Posted Dec 4, 2012
7.5/10 65% The Expendables 2 (2012) " The Expendables 2 is bigger and better than the first film thanks to Simon West's direction." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 27, 2012
7.5/10 77% Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012) " Katy Perry: Part of Me is one of those rare music documentaries that is worth a viewing even for non-fans. The film is even-handed and moving in its reveal of the larger-than-life pop sensation. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 23, 2012
7.5/10 59% Wanderlust (2012) " There's a lot to love in Wanderlust, but it's a film geared towards a very specific crowd. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
7.5/10 41% The Flowers of War (2011) " Christian Bale carries yet another bloated war drama with a performance that slowly develops in front of your eyes." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7.5/10 84% The Raid: Redemption (2012) " The Raid: Redemption is simply the best action movie of the last decade. Director Gareth Evans films the combat with a trained eye to maximize the intensity and entertainment." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 85% The Hunger Games (2012) " The Blu-Ray disc will impress the fans with its flawless audio track and serviceable video transfer." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 92% School of Rock (2003) " Richard Linklater's School of Rock still remains one of Jack Black's very best performances. The director and actor work together well and manage to make a rockin' comedy that'll bring out the kid in every rock 'n' roll fan." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 57% Safe (2012) " Safe is an exceptional Jason Statham B-movie that managed to sneak through the cracks during its theatrical release." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
4/5 81% The Impossible (2012) " Juan Antonio Bayona's The Impossible is an emotional tale of hope and survival, shot with an unafraid eye for disaster and tragedy." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 7, 2013
4/5 88% Django Unchained (2012) " Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a brilliant mixture of over-the-top violence and clever writing, making for the most entertaining film of 2012." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 23, 2013
4/5 97% Schindler's List (1993) " Schindler's List is one of Steven Spielberg's most powerful films, capturing the tragedy and horror while still finding room to inspire and move generations." — We Got This Covered
