Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
4.5/5	76%	The Help (2011)	" Tate Taylor's film isn't heavy on preaching, nor is it overloaded with saccharine sentiment. Rather, it has a real bite to it." — Moviedex Posted Aug 23, 2011
4.5/5	93%	Drive (2011)	" Blending a cocktail of noir and action with a pinch of romance to deliver a violent and hopeful film with enormous appeal." — Moviedex Posted May 26, 2011
3/5	77%	Melancholia (2011)	" Unlike von Trier himself, Melancholia is surprisingly uncontroversial in content, but remains an interesting take on the psychology of the apocalypse." — Moviedex Posted May 24, 2011
3.5/5	77%	Thor (2011)	" With the occasional laugh bolstering the simple story, Thor remains wholly intriguing largely because of its cast. " — Moviedex Posted Apr 17, 2011
3.5	83%	Potiche (2011)	" The cast is playful amid the 70's backdrop, with Deneuve possessing an effortless presence." — Moviedex Posted Mar 30, 2011
4/5	84%	My Afternoons with Margueritte (2011)	" Leaves the sugar at home but still provides a sweetly simple experience." — Moviedex Posted Mar 30, 2011
3.5/5	52%	The Next Three Days (2010)	" A taut yet hopeful film that brings some credibility into the newest of film debates." — Moviedex Posted Feb 2, 2011
3/5	66%	Tamara Drewe (2010)	" Tamara Drewe's general lack of cheesiness manages to make it a fun summer film that doesn't take itself too seriously." — Moviedex Posted Jan 26, 2011
4.5/5	90%	Tangled (2010)	" Sure, we all know how it's going to end, but with Disney finding their classic groove again, who honestly cares?" — Moviedex Posted Dec 6, 2010
2/5	91%	Alamar (To the Sea) (2010)	" Even with the cast playing themselves and a good premise, the idea to script only some of the film ends up creating a series of disconnected sequences." — Moviedex Posted Nov 10, 2010
4/5	71%	Loose Cannons (Mine Vaganti) (2010)	" With a fluid and comedic style comes a film that understands its place in Italian society and doesn't expect any less than complete competency from its audience. " — Moviedex Posted Nov 8, 2010
4/5	100%	Leap Year (2011)	" Leap Year is well handled but confronting to the core, taking you to a very dark place." — Moviedex Posted Nov 8, 2010
3.5/5	79%	Fair Game (2010)	" Besides a Hollywood-ish ending reeking of patriotism, [Doug Liman] finds a healthy balance of drama and thrills." — Moviedex Posted Oct 31, 2010
3/5	55%	La Siciliana Ribelle (The Sicilian Girl) (2010)	" While The Sicilian Girl has a more biographical lean over a showcase of mafia bloodshed, there's still plenty of drama to go around." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3/5	80%	Bandslam (2009)	" Fun without too much camp." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	89%	Coraline (2009)	" Kids can enjoy this but they're not the primary target." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3/5	6%	All About Steve (2009)	" All About Steve is survivable. You'll never see such passion for a crossword anywhere else." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
4/5	37%	The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)	" A great leading couple and an interesting concept make The Time Traveler's Wife a romance worth remembering for its normality." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
4/5	71%	The Boys Are Back (2009)	" The Boys Are Back is poignant in dealing with the stages of grief but lets up with a bit of fun. Scott Hicks really is back in town." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
2/5	75%	$9.99 (2008)	" After the smooth finish of Mary and Max earlier this year, $9.99 can't match up with its similar dark themes. " — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	78%	The Informant! (2009)	" The Soderbergh-Damon team has been honed and crafted into a viable investment" — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
2.5/5	25%	Fame (2009)	" Fails to make a significant mark." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	70%	Sherlock Holmes (2009)	" Sherlock Holmes has something for everybody; an accessible film is exactly what Guy Ritchie's been looking for." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	58%	The Invention of Lying (2009)	" The comedy is definitely there, but a heavy romantic focus drags it down in parts." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	57%	Bran Nue Dae (2010)	" It's a Bran Nue Dae for Australian comedy. Enjoyable and satirical; a pleasant surprise." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	94%	In the Loop (2009)	" There's only so much wittiness and quips we can watch before we get irritated at the fact that not much actually happens." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
4/5	97%	The Hurt Locker (2009)	" The suspense may just kill you." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
2.5/5	58%	Edge of Darkness (2010)	" The attempt at grittiness comes off soft." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3/5	42%	The Rebound (2009)	" The Rebound is largely character-driven, which is more than a lot of romantic films can vouch for." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	58%	She's Out of My League (2010)	" The story relies on the strength of the characters and effectiveness of the comedy to keep it going. And for the most part it works." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3/5	67%	Date Night (2010)	" It stumbles along as you're forced to sit through quite a bit of umming and aaahing and a car chase that lasts five minutes too long." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3/5	43%	Robin Hood (2010)	" Good but not great. The meatier story always follows the introduction, right?" — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
3.5/5	15%	Sex and the City 2 (2010)	" [Michael] King has done well to maintain the wry comedy Sex and the City is so well known for, especially considering the over-stretched 146-minute running time." — Moviedex Posted Oct 29, 2010
2/5	12%	The Spy Next Door (2010)	" This film plays it too safe and brings you only a smidgeon of charm and laughter. " — Moviedex Posted Oct 22, 2010
4/5	94%	Winter's Bone (2010)	" A chilling reflection of nature's darker side." — Moviedex Posted Oct 22, 2010
4/5	47%	The A-Team (2010)	" The A-Team succeeds in blasting onto the big screen with big attitude." — Moviedex Posted Oct 22, 2010
3/5	37%	Eat Pray Love (2010)	" Merely good and not great as many fans of the book hoped it would be." — Moviedex Posted Oct 22, 2010
4/5	73%	Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life (2011)	" An immersing film, Gainsbourg encourages curiosity as you observe the life of a curious man." — Moviedex Posted Oct 22, 2010
