Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
B- 72% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " These are movies about driving cars really fast and destroying them. And, yes, the thing with the tank is awesome." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 23, 2013
B- 78% Pieta (2013) " It's a nasty, compelling thriller if you have the stomach, perhaps not as profound as it wants us to think it is, but sharply realized nonetheless." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 16, 2013
C+ 68% The Iceman (2013) " A movie that doesn't work as well as you might think it should." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 16, 2013
A- 87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " If anything, Into Darkness shoves a Klingon dagger right between hard-core Trekkers shoulder blades. But those folks were never Abrams' target market, obviously. Everyone else may very well have a warp-speed blast." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 16, 2013
B 77% Renoir (2013) " Renoir really does have the lush glory of a Renoir, and that isn't easy to sustain. Any given freeze frame in this thing is lovely to behold. See Renoir for the glorious light and Theret's strong performance, but don't expect a whole lot of conflict." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 9, 2013
B+ 76% No Place On Earth (2013) " It is joyous to see these people, then children, now old, in natural light, and it is extraordinary to see them return to the cave that sheltered them." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 2, 2013
B 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) " If you have no investment in the larger Marvel movie universe, it could very well stand as the most accessible, easy-to-enjoy Iron Man movie." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted May 2, 2013
C 55% The Company You Keep (2013) " It's a big thing done in mediocre fashion, with a mystifying contempt for the audience's intelligence and faith." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Apr 25, 2013
A- 88% Upstream Color (2013) " Like Primer, Upstream Color will benefit from repeated viewings, from the ability to rewind, review, rethink. Dive in." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Apr 18, 2013
B —— The New Juarez (2012) " The New Juárez hopes for the best by reminding us of the worst." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Apr 18, 2013
B 77% Thor (2011) " Hemsworth gives the Thunder God all the spark he needs." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Apr 12, 2013
C+ 37% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " It is driven almost entirely by well-known quantities: Carell's almost superhuman likability when he is being a self-involved doofus and Carrey's rubbery menace. Neither part breaks any particular ground for either actor or the audience." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Mar 14, 2013
C 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " One continues to long for the days when McClane was just a cop on vacation and his smirk was just one of his weapons and not the entire arsenal." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Feb 13, 2013
C 78% Dredd (2012) " The stunningly violent Dredd 3D strips out pretense of satire, a crucial element of the British comic." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Jan 8, 2013
B 73% The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) " The recasting works. If Maguire is the Spider-Man of Spidey co-creator Steve Ditko, this is the Spider-Man of artist John Romita: a little slicker, a little more modern. Spider-Man in skinny jeans, if you will." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Jan 8, 2013
4.5/5 92% The Cabin in the Woods (2012) " Whedon refuses to keep the clichés entirely intact. In keeping with the overall theme, nothing is entirely what it seems, and nobody is entirely who they seem." — Austin American-Statesman
Posted Jan 4, 2013
4/5 93% Marvel's The Avengers (2012) " It's Summer's Mightiest Movie. Nuff said." — Austin American-Statesman
