Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
3.5/4 81% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " With more than 50 speaking roles, the film easily could have sprawled out of control into a predictable epic. But "The Place Beyond the Pines" holds enough intimacy - and surprise - to satisfy." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Apr 4, 2013
3/4 79% Quartet (2013) " Whatever his imprint on the film might be, it's overshadowed by the performances of its stellar, veteran cast, to whom Hoffman wisely gives ample rein." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Jan 24, 2013
3/4 65% Mama (2013) " "Mama" is a smartly refreshing departure, a truly scary movie exemplifying horror at its purest." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Jan 17, 2013
3/4 61% Jack Reacher (2012) " The movie is muscle-car chase-scene Chevy heaven, with Reacher tearing around in a cherry vintage Chevelle." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Dec 20, 2012
3/4 38% The Guilt Trip (2012) " It's the entertainment equivalent of a good roadside-diner meal. No big belly laughs, but quite a few chuckles. No catharsis, but some really sweet moments." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Dec 18, 2012
2/4 76% Killing Them Softly (2012) " Clever dialogue can make up for one-dimensional characters, and amped-up action can disguise a thin plot. Here, we get too little of either." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Nov 29, 2012
3/4 94% Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel (2012) " A feast for fashion-history buffs and anyone who applauds unstoppable eccentricity." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Oct 18, 2012
2/4 55% Bachelorette (2012) " "Bachelorette" commits only one crime, but it's a make-or-break offense -- it's just not quite funny enough." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Sep 6, 2012
2.5/4 78% Take This Waltz (2012) " In "Take This Waltz," Polley doesn't fill the gap. She just makes life on either side of it both attractive and a drag." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Jul 5, 2012
3/4 82% Wretches & Jabberers (2011) " "Wretches and Jabberers" is a moving and eye-opening testament to the desire of autistic people to be a part of the world, not apart from it -- or at least to be understood." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Apr 7, 2011
3.5/4 75% Nanny McPhee Returns (2010) " Thanks to star Emma Thompson's smart, appealing script, the mysterious babysitter with the grotesque face and no-nonsense ways once again delivers a welcome antidote to Disneyfied heroines." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Aug 19, 2010
2.5/4 37% Eat Pray Love (2010) " The film version's biggest challenge? The road to self-discovery is littered with clichés." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Aug 12, 2010
4/4 92% Il Divo (2009) " A must-see for political junkies of any nationality." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted May 28, 2009
3/4 61% The Reader (2008) " If Winslet carries the complex psychological intrigue of the film on her shoulders, David Kross carries the heart of it on his." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Apr 8, 2009
3/4 78% Doubt (2008) " While the Streep-Hoffman death match is the film's dramatic high point, its success lies in its defiant refusal to trot out even a slightly satisfying answer to the question: Did he or didn't he?" — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Dec 19, 2008
3/4 88% Tony Takitani (2005) " An ethereal modern fable without a moral, Tony Takatani seeps into the soul and lingers. For filmgoers in search of a quietly absorbing escape, it might be the perfect holiday-movie antidote." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Dec 8, 2005
3/4 87% The Letter: An American Town and the 'Somali Invasion' (2005) " By allowing a range of residents' opinions to drive the narrative forward and ending on a positive note, [Hamzeh] made a film that won a standing ovation at its Lewiston premiere in January." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
