Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
9/10	91%	Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)	" Safety Not Guaranteed is an excellent comedy, one with tons of heart, great characters, and tremendous performances from Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 15, 2012
0.5/10	21%	That's My Boy (2012)	" That's My Boy isn't just the worst film of 2012, it's one of the most morally reprehensible comedies of all time, a disgusting movie you should stay far, far away from." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 15, 2012
9.5/10	55%	Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)	" Seeking A Friend for the End of the World is one of my favorite movies of the year; I loved every minute of it, especially any time Carell and Knightley get to share the screen and talk." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
3.5/10	35%	Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)	" Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter doesn't even come close to living up to the fun, silly nature of its premise. The film is a dull, humorless, ugly-looking slog." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
4/10	34%	Lola Versus (2012)	" Lola Versus has plenty of potential, but with a script that has absolutely no handle on its lead character, the experience quickly becomes unbearably frustrating." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
9.5/10	73%	The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)	" The Amazing Spider-Man may be a reboot, but it feels entirely fresh thanks to a strong, different interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos and tremendous performances from the excellent ensemble." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
6.5/10	69%	Ted (2012)	" I enjoyed and laughed at Ted, but I can't say I liked it; MacFarlane lacks focus, the jokes are occasionally offensive, and though the movie has heart, it bungles whatever message it's trying to get across." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
7.5/10	80%	Magic Mike (2012)	" Magic Mike is far from perfect, but that's the fun. Whether you think Soderbergh is winking at the audience or the movie is "so bad it's good," Magic Mike is one heck of a good time at the movies." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
8/10	83%	Your Sister's Sister (2012)	" Your Sister's Sister is a fine piece of character observation. It's low-key, casual, and tremendously insightful. It won't be for everybody, but that's a good thing. It's a strong, focused piece of work." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
5/10	56%	People Like Us (2012)	" People Like Us is well-meaning and features good performances, but the story is a mess of contrivances and dumb narrative decisions that fail to hold any interest." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
9/10	77%	Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012)	" Katy Perry: Part of Me is the biggest surprise of 2012. It's not just a fluff piece for the fans, but a spectacularly made, emotionally honest portrait of one of pop culture's biggest personalities." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
4.5/10	43%	To Rome with Love (2012)	" To Rome With Love finds Woody Allen on autopilot, and not a particularly fine-tuned autopilot either. It's always good to see what Allen has in store, but this outing is disappointing and exhausting." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
2/10	37%	Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)	" There have been far worse children's films than Ice Age: Continental Drift, even this year, but few that make me so depressed about Hollywood's utter contempt for young moviegoers. " — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
0/10	16%	The Watch (2012)	" The Watch is an utterly soulless, lazy, painfully dull affair. It is not a film. It is a product, and an awful one. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
4/10	67%	Trishna (2012)	" Trishna is an admirable effort, but it's too detached and disinterested in the viewer to make an impact. This is a tough film to get through, and even if one makes it to the end, there's little reward to be found." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
2.5/10	31%	Total Recall (2012)	" Total Recall is nothing more than a lazy, dull, soulless studio effort wrapped up in an enticing sci-fi landscape." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
3/10	79%	Ruby Sparks (2012)	" Ruby Sparks means well, but I believe it is an awful film, an unintentionally uncomfortable experience I'd like to forget about as soon as possible." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
9.5/10	74%	Hope Springs (2012)	" Hope Springs is not an easy experience, but it is a tremendously rewarding one." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
7/10	65%	The Campaign (2012)	" The Campaign is worth a watch. It's funny, well-acted, and entertaining" — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
9/10	87%	Arbitrage (2012)	" Nicholas Jarecki's Arbitrage is at once a beautifully complex, effortlessly compelling legal thriller and a heated, passionate political allegory, working wonderfully on both levels." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 14, 2012
8/10	87%	ParaNorman (2012)	" ParaNorman confirms that Laika is an animation studio worth watching out for. As with Coraline, they've crafted a film that truly respects its young audience" — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
8/10	48%	Hit & Run (2012)	" Hit & Run has a clear, entertaining vision and is made with a strong, unique voice, something missing from too many films these days." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
5/10	76%	Premium Rush (2012)	" For all its attempts at originality, Premium Rush is, at its heart, generic" — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
9/10	70%	Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)	" Celeste and Jesse Forever is a messy film, but every single moment is graced with such profound emotional authenticity that those issues hardly matter. " — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
2/5	67%	Lawless (2012)	" Lawless is a failure. It is a difficult and infuriating movie to sit through, one that does not reward the audience's patience with anything of substance." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
3.5/10	56%	The Bourne Legacy (2012)	" The Bourne Legacy is the strangest sequel to come out of the Hollywood studio system in a long, long time. It's a product of shallow studio greed and staggering creative ineptitude." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
1.5/10	22%	The Words (2012)	" The Words is horrible, a smug, self-satisfied piece of over-plotted nonsense that is horribly written and decently acted. Stay far, far away." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 13, 2012
