Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
1.5/4	43%	Admission (2013)	" [T]he cards are stacked so heavily for the eventual winning side that Portia doesn't have to grow or change to switch sides; she just has to open her eyes. " — Christianity Today Posted Mar 28, 2013
1/4	39%	The Call (2013)	" "It all looks the same," Casey laments-which might, unfortunately, be taken as meta-commentary on the boilerplate movie she finds herself in." — Christianity Today Posted Mar 17, 2013
3/4	——	Mr. Cao Goes to Washington ()	" Does Cao represent personal integrity-as he defines it-or does he represent the citizens of the second district of Louisiana?" — 1 More Film blog Posted Jan 2, 2013
1.5/4	58%	U.N. Me (2012)	" U.N. Me describes scandal after scandal with a relentless dullness and surprisingly glib attitude." — 1 More Film blog Posted Jan 2, 2013
4/4	——	Something's Gonna Live (2010)	" These men care(d) about film, care(d) not just that they be technically proficient but that they say something truthful about the human condition." — 1 More Film blog Posted Jan 2, 2013
4/4	68%	Great Expectations (2013)	" A surprisingly emotionally engaging film." — 1 More Film blog Posted Jan 2, 2013
2/4	53%	Safe House (2012)	" Everybody fights and everybody lies in a thriller that tries to glamorize spies while demonizing their profession." — Christianity Today Posted Dec 30, 2012
1.5/4	51%	Contraband (2012)	" We are left to ponder why Andy is any less culpable or any more worth saving than anyone else." — Christianity Today Posted Dec 30, 2012
3/4	88%	Django Unchained (2012)	" As hellish as its moral universe may be, those whose stomachs can handle the descent will find that even in Tarantino's world-perhaps especially in his world-those moral questions still matter." — Christianity Today Posted Dec 25, 2012
2/4	30%	The Vow (2012)	" Ultimately the vision of love and marriage that is being presented here is a fairly routine, secular one, that it is love that binds us to a vow and not the other way around." — Christianity Today Posted Dec 7, 2012
1/4	68%	Cloud Atlas (2012)	" It is hard to think of another film in recent memory in which the accumulation of so much talent has rendered so little." — Christianity Today Posted Dec 7, 2012
4/4	82%	The Way (2011)	" It's not just a good film because of its subject matter or in comparison to some other, more overtly self-conscious (and self-proclaiming) Christian films. It is a great film, period." — Christianity Today Posted Oct 7, 2011
3.5/4	44%	Cowboys & Aliens (2011)	" I don't think too many people are going to wander into the theater expecting The Tree of Life. The film delivers exactly what it promises." — Christianity Today Posted Sep 2, 2011
3/4	55%	Jumping the Broom (2011)	" Comedy is about execution, not originality, and Jumping the Broom is pretty darn funny most of the time and kind of sweet the rest of the time. " — Christianity Today Posted May 6, 2011
3/4	17%	Miral (2011)	" An ambitious film, and it may be that Schnabel's reputation has led to unrealistic expectations about what any film can accomplish. Still, it has many admirable qualities." — Christianity Today Posted Mar 25, 2011
4/4	94%	The King's Speech (2010)	" Like similar films with populist appeal, it both embraces its feel-good intentions and wears them on its sleeve. And it executes its model to near perfection." — Christianity Today Posted Feb 25, 2011
1/4	32%	I Am Number Four (2011)	" The script has zero curiosity about any of these characters and their motivations. Why are they here? What are their powers, exactly? If kids just past puberty are such lethal fighters, how did the whole race of them get wiped out? " — Christianity Today Posted Feb 25, 2011
1.5/4	20%	The Tourist (2010)	" Tepid romance and sluggish action can't match the beauty of Venice. " — Christianity Today Posted Dec 17, 2010
1.5/4	51%	Stone (2010)	" Stone seems to care more about keeping us guessing about what the characters are going to do than it does about making us care what is going to happen to them." — Christianity Today Posted Oct 20, 2010
2.5/4	83%	Vision: From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen (2010)	" Vision offers a wealth of information about twelfth-century life, both in and out of the Benedictine convent. What's missing is a sense of the woman behind the icon." — Christianity Today Posted Oct 20, 2010
