Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
2/5 14% R.I.P.D. (2013) " Rampant CGI monsters, aggressive 3D and a fine cast - especially a likeably grizzly Jeff Bridges - still can't bring this ho-hum Men In Black redux to life." — Total Film
Posted Sep 9, 2013
3/5 56% Bachelorette (2012) " The cast tear through the film with bug-eyed glee, with Fisher and Caplan perfect as the two worst friends a girl could ever have." — Total Film
Posted Aug 12, 2013
3/5 37% Aftershock (2013) " It gleefully chops its cast down in increasingly alarming and brutal ways. " — Total Film
Posted Aug 12, 2013
1/5 8% Grown Ups 2 (2013) " The simplest way to put it is that if you liked the first Grown Ups, you will also like this one: it's an equally shameless, just-as shoddy, no-less depressing sprawl of 'life lessons' and fat gags." — Total Film
Posted Jul 30, 2013
3/5 30% Chasing Mavericks (2012) " By the time it's over, you'll either be heading for the beach or vowing never to go in the water again." — Total Film
Posted Jul 3, 2013
3/5 50% Now You See Me (2013) " There are so many twists, turns and 'shocking reveals' that we're soon bogged down by a top-heavy narrative that then collapses with a final reversal that's only stunning in its sheer ridiculousness." — Total Film
Posted Jul 2, 2013
3/5 35% The Internship (2013) " Eight years on from Wedding Crashers, [Vaughn and Wilson] successfully rekindle their irascible shtick." — Total Film
Posted Jul 2, 2013
2/5 38% Admission (2013) " These truly are dark and terrible times if we are forced to accept the elitist problems of an Ivy League college admissions officer as shameless fodder for a romcom." — Total Film
Posted Jun 11, 2013
2/5 15% The Moth Diaries (2012) " Vamps-fans won't find much to gnaw on here." — Total Film
Posted Jun 3, 2013
3/5 16% The Last Exorcism Part II (2013) " Ashley Bell's nuanced performance and a surprisingly pyrotechnic finale liven up a gloomy sequel." — Total Film
Posted May 29, 2013
3/5 34% Deadfall (2012) " Too many coincidences spoil the plot, but this is a down'n'dirty, black'n'bloody little thriller. If nothing else, you'll truly feel the chill." — Total Film
Posted May 10, 2013
1/5 22% The Words (2012) " Its long, dry patches of colourless storytelling suggest it makes more sense as a book, one to read before you fall asleep to dream of better movies." — Total Film
Posted May 2, 2013
3/5 38% Dead Man Down (2013) " A jagged, unbalanced (in every sense) revenge flick that nonetheless offers up twists and brooding noir-ness." — Total Film
Posted Apr 22, 2013
4/5 74% Chimpanzee (2012) " Chimpanzee intermittently veers into Disney-esque cheese - seriously, a 'bad' monkey named Scar? - but is otherwise a delight." — Total Film
Posted Apr 22, 2013
47% Olympus Has Fallen (2013) " An orgy of bloody explosions that'd be tough to endure if it weren't so inadvertently self-parodic." — Total Film
Posted Apr 12, 2013
3/5 37% Dark Skies (2013) " In this doomy surburban horror the real terrors don't come from space." — Total Film
Posted Mar 22, 2013
3/5 55% Snitch (2013) " A thoughtful, slow-boiling, politically charged thriller. It takes an hour for Dwayne to become The Rock, but it's worth the wait." — Total Film
Posted Mar 22, 2013
3/5 12% Stolen (2012) " Loud, predictable fun from Simon 'Con Air' West." — Total Film
Posted Mar 15, 2013
2/5 20% Identity Thief (2013) " A wasted opportunity: put the two leads in a movie that didn't lazily rely on its high concept to do the work, and you'd really have something to laugh about." — Total Film
Posted Mar 7, 2013
3/5 66% Mama (2013) " Fairytale horror that is low on scares and velocity but buoyed by the syrup-thick atmosphere and the creepy stares of the young actresses." — Total Film
Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/5 33% Won't Back Down (2012) " The leads are fine, but the movie's about as fun as summer school." — Total Film
Posted Jan 21, 2013
3/5 81% Pitch Perfect (2012) " Gleeks and Glee-haters alike should rally around this raucous musical comedy." — Total Film
Posted Nov 23, 2012
3/5 49% The Man With the Iron Fists (2012) " Grisly and goofy, this ode to the Shaw Brothers' '70s-era kung fu epics serves up 96 minutes of murder and mutilation and not a lot else." — Total Film
Posted Nov 23, 2012
2/5 38% Here Comes the Boom (2012) " 105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down." — Total Film
Posted Nov 15, 2012
2/5 55% People Like Us (2012) " Fans of Pine's eyebrows will enjoy all the bushy furrowing, but otherwise, there are more important things to cry about." — Total Film
Posted Oct 30, 2012
2/5 57% Sparkle (2012) " Sparkle isn't Dreamgirls - but fans of schmaltzy showbiz fairytales should enjoy it." — Total Film
Posted Sep 28, 2012
3/5 38% Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012) " Very weird fun." — Total Film
Posted Sep 3, 2012
3/5 51% Savages (2012) " Savages is punishing in places, but there are enough colourful characters and careening twists to make it worth the effort." — Total Film
Posted Sep 3, 2012
3/5 65% The Campaign (2012) " Although only slightly more outrageous than reality, The Campaign is a funny, pacy peek behind the political curtain." — Total Film
Posted Sep 3, 2012
2/5 21% That's My Boy (2012) " They're estranged. Tired antics ensue." — Total Film
Posted Aug 28, 2012
2/5 19% Chernobyl Diaries (2012) " Diaries is dark and gruesome, but with little in the way of genuine shock or surprise, you should expect the expected." — Total Film
Posted Jun 21, 2012
2/5 38% Lockout (Unrated) (2012) " Luc Besson's clunky, space-bound actioner apes '80s B-flick excess but skimps on all the good parts." — Total Film
Posted Apr 19, 2012
2/5 8% 11-11-11 (2011) Total Film
Posted Apr 12, 2012
3/5 50% Grave Encounters (2011) " Despite its meagre budget, Grave Encounters boasts surprisingly solid acting, vertigo-baiting hand-held camera antics and enough [REC]- style shock-horror to keep your pulse throbbing throughout." — Total Film
Posted Apr 10, 2012
2/5 6% The Devil Inside (2012) " A low-budget, low-watt belly botherer saved from history's dustbin by a few gruesome moments and a gob-smack of an ending that (almost) makes it worth the slog." — Total Film
Posted Feb 20, 2012
2/5 2% One for the Money (2012) " Heigl's fine and there's some zingy dialogue, but the violence jars with the comedy and, despite being written and directed by women, it still comes off as needlessly sexist." — Total Film
Posted Feb 13, 2012
3/5 12% The Darkest Hour (2011) " If you can get past the hokey premise, then you could be in for a good time with this lumbering 3D disaster-porn noisemaker." — Total Film
Posted Jan 10, 2012
1/5 17% Shark Night 3D (2011) " [Leaves] you with nothing more than a few poke-y moments and wistful memories of Piranha 3D." — Total Film
Posted Sep 27, 2011
2/5 19% Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer (2011) " Graham is lovely and Beatty a natural, but if you're not seven years old, it's one long headache." — Total Film
Posted Sep 12, 2011
2/5 48% Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) " Carrey fans will be let down by the rubber-faced one playing straight man to a pack of penguins. While kids may find the plot p-p-past its sell-by date." — Total Film
Posted Jul 27, 2011
1/5 56% Jumping the Broom (2011) " This extremely formulaic time-waster offers little beyond its lame Hallmark greeting-card platitudes." — Total Film
Posted Jun 7, 2011
3/5 28% Take Me Home Tonight (2011) " A potential cult hit in the making, call this Dazed And Confused for the Members Only set." — Total Film
Posted May 10, 2011
1/5 21% Beastly (2011) " A tween-baiting update that sullies the elegant fairytale with privileged brats in penthouses. Beastly is a crass, spirit-sapping bore." — Total Film
Posted Apr 15, 2011
3/5 10% Red Riding Hood (2011) " Red Riding Hood is actually a fun, goofy ride, albeit one lathered in chintz and froth." — Total Film
Posted Apr 11, 2011
2/5 64% Tomorrow, When the War Began (2012) " If teens battling soldiers sounds like your cup of tea, drink deep. If not, stick with Red Dawn." — Total Film
Posted Mar 30, 2011
1/5 4% The Roommate (2011) " Cat lovers may be unnerved, but fright fans will just yawn their way to the exit." — Total Film
Posted Mar 30, 2011
3/5 43% Faster (2010) " Although they're all indebted to some other film, there are some nice touches here." — Total Film
Posted Mar 14, 2011
3/5 37% The Resident (2012) " Generic, yes, but gleeful with it." — Total Film
Posted Mar 9, 2011
2/5 13% Yogi Bear (2010) " Any potential retro-charm is quickly rubbed out by creepy CGI, a tired reality-TV conceit and failure to grasp that Yogi's appeal lies in his delivery and quick wit, not eye-stabbing 3D gimmicks or life-like depictions of picnic-basket heists." — Total Film
