Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	15%	Sex and the City 2 (2010)	" The spectacle of four supposedly high-achieving, professional NYC sophisticates "Ooohing" and "Aahing" at a tacky gilt and red-brick fantasy Middle East escaped from a Disney rejects storehouse is beyond risible." — PopMatters Posted Jun 11, 2010
3/10	41%	The Last House on the Left (2009)	" Neither a glimmer of satire nor gram of wit animates Dennis Illiadis' 109 minutes beside the lake." — PopMatters Posted Mar 15, 2009
6/10	43%	Death Race (2008)	" Anderson dilutes Roger Corman's satire by locating Death Race among society's transgressors, depicting their dysfunctions with gory relish, and confining the race safely behind the walls of an isolated prison." — PopMatters Posted Aug 22, 2008
5/10	18%	Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)	" In Clone Wars, one battle seems exactly like the last (and the next): the 'droids shoot like amateurs and the Republican troops always prevail, whatever the odds." — PopMatters Posted Aug 15, 2008

	92%	L' Homme du Train (The Man on the Train) (2003)	" Combine the elegiac Sam Peckinpah of The Wild Bunch and the fatalistic Jean-Pierre Melville of Le Samourai or Le Flic and the result might well be The Man on the Train, director Patrice Leconte's 20th film." — PopMatters Posted Aug 30, 2003

	77%	A Beautiful Mind (2001)	" For all his Capraesque aspirations, Howard's movies never really leave the ground because he never really takes any risks." — PopMatters Posted Dec 28, 2001
	76%	Tigerland (2000)	" Moments of beauty jostle bathetic scene-rigging, poignant historical verisimilitude crumples under anachronistic assonance, and skin-tingling acting runs up against wooden caricature." — PopMatters Posted Jun 26, 2001
	42%	Miss Congeniality (2000)	" Although the script grants its leading lady some snappy verbal and physical humor, the film flickers and dies under a surfeit of stereotypes and one critical piece of ill-judged casting." — PopMatters Posted Feb 7, 2001

—	84%	Titanic Town (2000)	— PopMatters Posted Jan 1, 2000
