Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2/5	43%	The Great Gatsby (2013)	" The anachronistic pop-music cues, digitally augmented tracking shots and disco-globe-glittery production design don't re-create the headiness of early-20th-century New York so much as invent a billowy fantasy otherworld in the gauzy vein of Twilight." — Time Out New York Posted May 7, 2013
2/5	50%	Aftershock (2013)	" Nicolás López's slick shocker turns into an unholy amalgam of disaster film and slasher flick." — Time Out New York Posted May 7, 2013
1/5	33%	No One Lives (2013)	" There's a certain pleasure to be had in such unabashed cinematic ineptitude, of course, though it would be wise to wait until you have your Netflix streaming remote in one hand and a freshly filled bong in the other." — Time Out New York Posted May 7, 2013
2/5	74%	Love Is All You Need (2013)	" The sole saving grace of this treacly middlebrow dross is the naturally sweet chemistry between Brosnan and Dyrholm." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2013
2/5	67%	The Iceman (2013)	" This is a wise-guy opera with barely one memorable aria." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2013
4/5	51%	Post Tenebras Lux (2013)	" This is a movie that, even in its most inexplicable or provocative moments, welcomes each of us into its stream of subconsciousness as a fellow dreamer." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2013
3/5	53%	The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013)	" Even as you question Changez's every Agitator 101 utterance-and the film's slapdash attempts to use him as a vehicle for a grand statement about the shock, awe and alienation of our modern world-you can't help but fall under his magnetic spell." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 23, 2013
4/5	87%	Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay (2013)	" It's a reminder that deception, in the best of cases, is a pathway to transcendence." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 16, 2013
4/5	75%	A Cop (Un Flic) (2013)	" Delon and Crenna paint an idealized portrait of masculine camaraderie, one that's exposed at the end of Melville's bracing last testament as a soul-shattering illusion." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 16, 2013
4/5	95%	Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957)	" [Mansfield] constantly catches you off guard. She's this unabashedly crude movie's bleached-blond heart and soul." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 9, 2013
1/5	76%	It's a Disaster (2013)	" Todd Berger's misguided black comedy should come with a complimentary hazmat suit for how poisonously unfunny it is." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 9, 2013
5/5	92%	The Last Detail (1973)	" Nicholson's cigar-chomping, profanity-spouting grunt is one of the greatest incarnations of stunted machismo onscreen, and he's brilliantly complemented by Quaid's picture-perfect awkwardness and Young's bracing cynicism." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2013
2/5	74%	Simon Killer (2013)	" An aesthetically fussed-over, feel-bad character study-the ugly American narrative rejiggered for Generation Hipster." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2013
3/5	62%	Evil Dead (2013)	" What really matters is seeing these pretty people get put through the gory wringer, and once the unholy spirit comes calling, Evil Dead more than delivers ..." — Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2013
2/5	28%	G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)	" Plays like a tiresomely extended evening of channel surfing." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 29, 2013
2/5	70%	Wrong (2013)	" Yuck." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 26, 2013
2/5	81%	Renoir (2013)	" At least Mark Ping Bing Lee's luscious cinematography distracts from the shallow storytelling. There are worse things than luxuriating in a two-hour Côte d'Azur travel ad." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 26, 2013
4/5	100%	Le Pont du Nord (2013)	" Modern life is the gauntlet run by these characters, though the film's bizarre, fascinatingly bitter finale ponders whether survival (and assimilation) is preferable to leaving it all behind." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 19, 2013
3/4	100%	Le Pont du Nord (2013)	" A stimulating document of a city in flux." — Slant Magazine Posted Mar 16, 2013
3/5	67%	Philip Roth: Unmasked (2013)	" Ultimately, the film is less of an unmasking of Roth than it is an enigmatic guru's rousing master class. You leave a little bit wiser about yourself." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 12, 2013
2/5	29%	Upside Down (2013)	" To his credit, Solanas unabashedly believes in this heartstring-plucking hooey, and he certainly has a knack for striking images." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 12, 2013
3/5	60%	Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)	" Though Oz has some of the same narrative issues and effects-heavy bloat as that highly personal fantasy film, every frame is infused with a deep-rooted, impassioned understanding of the cinema's magical power to captivate and inspire." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 7, 2013
5/5	80%	Le Petit Soldat (The Little Soldier) (2013)	" Even this early in his career, Godard knew how to make audiences viscerally experience and contemplate things they might otherwise not have wanted to." — Time Out New York Posted Mar 5, 2013
3/5	67%	Stoker (2013)	" Prepare to hate yourself for loving it." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 26, 2013
3/5	78%	Red Flag (2013)	" You can see genuine talent poking through the festival-circuit tedium; hopefully Karpovsky's better instincts will win out next time." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 20, 2013
3/5	60%	Rubberneck (2013)	" You can see genuine talent poking through the festival-circuit tedium; hopefully Karpovsky's better instincts will win out next time." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 20, 2013
5/5	98%	Annie Hall (1977)	" This is the link between Allen's "earlier, funnier" stuff and more probing works like Interiors and Manhattan. Would that we all could build such masterful bridges." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 19, 2013
1/5	15%	A Good Day To Die Hard (2013)	" Time to hang it up, guys ..." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 14, 2013
2/5	45%	Beautiful Creatures (2013)	" Beautiful Creatures plays like an illustrated compendium of scenes from the novel, as opposed to a finely tuned narrative all its own." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 12, 2013
3/5	85%	Side Effects (2013)	" The emotional depths of the film's first half get bludgeoned by the simplistically lurid twists and turns, which hinge on some egregiously homophobic stereotypes that Soderbergh's clinical touch fails to complicate." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 5, 2013
2/5	90%	Caesar Must Die (2013)	" Hardly a dish fit for the gods." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 5, 2013
1/5	14%	Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)	" It's a grim fairy tale, all right." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 4, 2013
1/5	60%	John Dies at the End (2013)	" The "wackiness" (scare quotes included) is mostly ceaseless and tiresome, from the ravenous zombie neo-Nazi that leads things off to the Galaxy Quest rejects that figure in the movie's annoyingly anticlimactic finale." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 29, 2013
1/5	22%	The Taste of Money (2013)	" This is a completely unenlightening cri de coeur against the most obvious targets of financial-spiritual discontent." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 29, 2013
3/5	88%	Yossi (2013)	" Fox's melancholy follow-up to his festival-feted breakthrough easily stands on its own, tracing Yossi's gradual emerging from his mostly self-created shell." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 23, 2013
3/5	85%	The Pirogue (2013)	" There's enough filmmaking talent evident throughout that you wish the journey were more satisfying overall." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 23, 2013
3/5	65%	Mama (2013)	" Expertly conjured atmosphere only gets Muschietti so far, but there's enough genuine promise here that you're willing to cut this talented newcomer some slack." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 15, 2013
2/5	76%	Hors Satan (2013)	" The promise Dumont once showed has ossified into unholy shtick." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 15, 2013
2/5	79%	Quartet (2013)	" Like many actors-turned-filmmakers, first-time director Dustin Hoffman (yes, that Dustin Hoffman) indulges his performers above all else ..." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 9, 2013
3/5	56%	Fairhaven (2013)	" Though its insights are slight-the movie feels as delicate and ephemeral as its sleepy winter surroundings-you can't help but admire the overall generousness O'Brien shows to his characters and performers." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 9, 2013
2/5	32%	Gangster Squad (2013)	" Though based partly on actual events, Ruben Fleischer's ludicrous shoot-'em-up plays fast and loose with the facts, and plenty else besides." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 9, 2013
3/5	76%	Premium Rush (2012)	" Just a few spokes short of a wheel, guys." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 8, 2013
5/5	100%	Black Narcissus (1947)	" There's something truly unearthly about this place of howling winds, yawning chasms and atmosphere thick with temptation. Sanctity, it will be proven, is no match for sin." — Time Out New York Posted Jan 1, 2013
2/5	51%	Promised Land (2013)	" The kind of earnest, oversimplified big-issues drama that Hollywood loves to foist on audiences as seasonal proof of its serious-mindedness." — Time Out New York Posted Dec 27, 2012
5/5	69%	Not Fade Away (2012)	" Every scene plays with an in-the-moment vividness far removed from nostalgia-laden sentimentality; even the simplest interaction feels like it echoes through eternity." — Time Out New York Posted Dec 18, 2012
2/5	45%	On the Road (2012)	" Mostly feels like a group of Kerouac devotees performing a lifeless reenactment of prose that was better left on the page." — Time Out New York Posted Dec 18, 2012
4/5	66%	The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)	" Even though this installment is mostly a prelude, Jackson's eccentric mixture of low humor, earnest foreboding and digitally processed pageantry is consistently engaging and immersive." — Time Out New York Posted Dec 11, 2012
1/5	37%	Stand Up Guys (2013)	" This moronically unfunny gangster comedy fluctuates wildly between the lowest-of-low humor and pity-the-aged-man pathos, and offers further evidence that the best days are behind its iconic cast members." — Time Out New York Posted Dec 11, 2012
3/5	38%	Hyde Park on Hudson (2012)	" Hyde Park could have been fawningly ponderous; that it's merely an airy trifle puts it a cut above the usual Oscar bait." — Time Out New York Posted Dec 4, 2012
