Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
4/5 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Dare I say it's the best Iron Man film yet? I dare." — 7M Pictures
Posted May 3, 2013
3/5 46% Pain & Gain (2013) " an R-rated, steroid-fueled Looney Tunes cartoon" — 7M Pictures
Posted Apr 26, 2013
2.5/5 56% Oblivion (2013) " Call it homage or call it a rip-off. Either way, the script for Oblivion is needlessly derivative, which makes it much less of a movie than it should be." — 7M Pictures
Posted Apr 19, 2013
3/5 77% 42 (2013) " It's a button-pusher of a movie, as these inspirational sports films usually are. But that's okay." — 7M Pictures
Posted Apr 12, 2013
4/5 62% Evil Dead (2013) " It's easily the goriest, goopiest, most visceral, bloody and violent movie I've seen with an R rating. But that's the point, and it was a lot of fun to watch." — 7M Pictures
Posted Apr 5, 2013
5/5 92% Jurassic Park: An IMAX 3D Experience (2013) " The 3D isn't pushed on the audience, but it does reveal the amount of depth that Spielberg actually put into the film 20 years ago." — 7M Pictures
Posted Apr 5, 2013
1.5/5 9% The Host (2013) " plays out like something an eleven-year-old girl would write on the back of her notebook while she was bored in class... with the emotional depth of a wet napkin" — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 29, 2013
2.5/5 28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " Sure, there's action, but these scenes seem more about shaking things up todistract the viewer from the overly convoluted, disjointed and nonsensical plot." — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 29, 2013
3.5/5 48% Olympus Has Fallen (2013) " Even though the story is utterly preposterous and silly, the cast takes it as seriously as they can, which helps carry the film as an audience-pleasing button-pusher." — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 22, 2013
3.5/5 38% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " much better than it has any business being" — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 15, 2013
3/5 39% The Call (2013) " The point of a movie is to entertain, and entertain The Call does. So what if that entertainment value comes from unintentional hilarity and silliness?" — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 15, 2013
2/5 36% Dead Man Down (2013) " weird mix of morose northern European arthouse filmmaking with out-of-place Hollywood spectacle" — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 8, 2013
3.5/5 60% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " This is a pretty unique film. It's beautiful to watch, and it takes full advantage of the modern filmmaking technology to present a visual spectacle." — 7M Pictures
Posted Mar 8, 2013
1.5/5 58% Snitch (2013) " a preposterous, thoroughly unrealistic scenery-chewing drama masquerading as an action movie" — 7M Pictures
Posted Feb 21, 2013
2/5 13% Safe Haven (2013) " See it if you love this kind of paint-by-numbers Hallmark romance that ranges from the dull to the ridiculous. But please, don't drag your significant other with you to it." — 7M Pictures
Posted Feb 16, 2013
3/5 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " It was exactly what I expected from a fifth installment of a 25-year-old franchise that was released in February when all the other films dropped in the summer." — 7M Pictures
Posted Feb 15, 2013
3.5/5 85% Side Effects (2013) " Like Haywire, Side Effects is Soderbergh's attempt to make a formula film by not sticking to the formula." — 7M Pictures
Posted Feb 8, 2013
2/5 20% Identity Thief (2013) " Both Bateman and McCarthy are funny, but they really don't have much chemistry, which is essential for a road comedy that locks two people in cars and hotel rooms together." — 7M Pictures
Posted Feb 8, 2013
3/5 40% Death Race 3: Inferno (Unrated) (2013) " there's plenty of action - and plenty of boobs" — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 28, 2013
3.5/5 56% For a Good Time, Call... (2012) " Sure, there's some ribald humor, and the subject matter is clearly edgy. However, it's really a sweet story of friendship wrapped in a sexy package. " — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 28, 2013
3/5 40% Parker (2013) " Jennifer Lopez is the albatross around this movie's neck. Whenever she's on screen, it's garbage. When she's not, Parker is actually quite a bit of fun." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 25, 2013
2/5 14% Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) " A spectacular failure of epic proportions, delivering a loud and ludicrous film. But I can't say I wasn't entertained at times, probably for all the wrong reasons." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 25, 2013
1.5/5 30% Broken City (2013) " with half of the Hughes Brothers, you end up with less than half of a film" — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 18, 2013
3/5 65% Mama (2013) " Had it come out last October as originally scheduled, head-to-head with Sinister, it would have been a mistake. As it is, it's a perfectly acceptable slice of January horror." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 18, 2013
3.5/5 59% The Last Stand (2013) " a return to old-school, gritty action form for Schwarzenegger, having more in common with Commando, Red Heat and Raw Deal than with much of his filmography" — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 18, 2013
2/5 —— Guns, Girls and Gambling (2012) " For a movie in which you hope to see plenty of girls and guns, you really only get the guns... of the metal kind, that is." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 14, 2013
1/5 —— 30 Nights Of Paranormal Activity With The Devil Inside The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2013) " many of the jokes fall flat and have the cleverness of the random pop culture references from a Friedberg and Seltzer movie" — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 14, 2013
2/5 11% House at the End of the Street (2012) " exactly what you'd expect from a PG-13 horror movie dropped in September. There's really nothing particularly scary about it, and the story ranges from shaky to thin" — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 14, 2013
1/5 6% A Haunted House (2013) " exactly what you'd expect from a spoof of found footage movies released in January without advanced screenings for critics" — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 11, 2013
3/5 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " An important film for our nation's soul. It gives context to the manhunt, and it lets us experience it for catharsis and closure." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 11, 2013
2.5/5 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " There is a certain level of shoot-'em-up entertainment value to the movie, but overall, it's a pretty forgettable ride." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 11, 2013
3/5 19% Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) " Make no mistake: Texas Chainsaw 3D is a terrible movie, but it delivers better than any other follow-up to the original film. I have to admit I had a lot of fun watching it." — 7M Pictures
Posted Jan 4, 2013
4/5 88% Django Unchained (2012) " a better grindhouse tribute film and spaghetti western homage than his previous two movies combined" — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 25, 2012
3/5 70% Les Misérables (2012) " accessible to the mainstream and expertly done from a technical level" — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 25, 2012
2.5/5 61% Jack Reacher (2012) " Had it come out in September and starred Nicholas Cage rather than being a big Christmas release with an A-list actor, I would have been much more forgiving." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 21, 2012
1/5 52% This is 40 (2012) " The most horrible marriage of two horrible people raising two horrible children. If my family would act like the people in this movie, I'd sell them all into white slavery." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 21, 2012
3/5 38% The Guilt Trip (2012) " the kind of movie you can safely take your mother to and enjoy together" — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 19, 2012
4/5 66% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " Not all the scenes are necessary, and a great deal of the movie is set-up, with Jackson reveling in his own return to Middle Earth. But it's an enjoyable experience." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 14, 2012
3.5/5 95% Hamlet (1996) " It is a wholly new take on Hamlet, with a cast filled with entertaining cameos." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 10, 2012
1.5/5 4% Playing for Keeps (2012) " There's a lot of poorly-conceived plot crammed into this film, and it never actually decides what it wants to be, emerging as a disjointed story suffering from severe ADHD." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 10, 2012
3/5 63% Hitchcock (2012) " Sure, the ins and outs of Psycho behind the scenes is interesting for film fans. But beyond the initial 'gee whiz' factor, the story itself plays a bit soft." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 10, 2012
3/5 86% Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) " I doubt anyone is going to watch Beasts of the Southern Wild and understand it immediately... But it's still a fascinating movie." — 7M Pictures
Posted Dec 9, 2012
2/5 64% Anna Karenina (2012) " Like a modern music video, it's more about the look and image than it is about the substance behind all of that. Wright gets swept up in his own visual romance." — 7M Pictures
Posted Nov 30, 2012
2/5 36% The Collection (2012) " things quickly reach a level of silliness that fits more in a comedy or spoof than an actual horror film" — 7M Pictures
Posted Nov 30, 2012
1/5 76% Killing Them Softly (2012) " It's the cinematic equivalent of a comedian retelling the same joke on stage ad nauseam and then taking the last five minutes of his set to explain the joke in great detail." — 7M Pictures
Posted Nov 30, 2012
4.5/5 74% Rise of the Guardians (2012) " Who can resist seeing a movie with Christmas Wookiees in it?" — 7M Pictures
Posted Nov 23, 2012
3.5/5 13% Red Dawn (2012) " Red Dawn isn't a particularly good film... but it is entertaining. As an exploitative remake of an exploitative flick from the 80s, it's still fun to watch." — 7M Pictures
Posted Nov 23, 2012
4.5/5 88% Life of Pi (2012) " On the surface, Life of Pi is a basic story, but deeper into the film, it's got a lot to say." — 7M Pictures
Posted Nov 23, 2012
1.5/5 48% The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) " Much like The Human Centipede 2, Breaking Dawn: Part 2 completely fails as a serious film, but it makes one heck of an entertaining comedy." — 7M Pictures
