Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	83%	Your Sister's Sister (2012)	" With this convoluted set-up in place, three actors with extraordinary chemistry play it all out to the end, and somehow the feeling deepens, even as the jokes spiral out of control." — Vulture Posted Mar 22, 2012
	71%	Natural Selection (2012)	" I'm still reeling at how high a level of difficulty this film worked at, with its bold tonal shifts, meshing of truly dark material and spastic physical comedy." — Vulture Posted Mar 14, 2012
	75%	Damsels in Distress (2012)	" Stillman is in fine form, depicting this campus as a kind of Ivy League Idiocracy." — Vulture Posted Oct 18, 2011
	53%	Brighton Rock (2011)	" Brighton's "not what she used to be," says one gangster, and that sure is a shame: The 1947 adaptation was so much more, and so much more strange." — New York Magazine Posted Aug 29, 2011
	86%	Circumstance (2011)	" The film doesn't feel weighed down with the burden of representation: It's too free-flowing for that, too plot-heavy, too stylish, too romantic, too hot." — New York Magazine Posted Aug 29, 2011
	71%	Friends With Benefits (2011)	" Fast-paced and fabulously fake, Friends With Benefits is the Red Bull of romantic comedies, unapologetically delivering a hyperactive, synthetic buzz." — New York Magazine Posted Aug 2, 2011
	90%	Winnie the Pooh (2011)	" After a summerlong rampage of Hollywood's obnoxious misbehavior, Pooh is mercifully without sting." — Vulture Posted Jul 14, 2011
	70%	Horrible Bosses (2011)	" Still, Day's scene involving a mountain of cocaine is hyperspeed-hilarious, Farrell's unhinged, irrational fuming is marvelously cretinous, and Aniston's fully committed sex-addict sexpot act is wickedly absurd." — Vulture Posted Jul 8, 2011
	91%	Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest (2011)	" it's Rapaport's mistake to spend so much time and energy unpacking something so much more obvious, and so much less interesting, than Tribe's music. " — Vulture Posted Jul 7, 2011
	38%	Monte Carlo (2011)	" Even within the manipulative Princess-for-a-Day genre, Disney Channel product Selena Gomez's Monte Carlo is a chintzy knockoff. " — Vulture Posted Jul 1, 2011
	38%	Cars 2 (2011)	" ...by Pixar's outrageous standards of Oscar shoo-in virtuosity, this sequel is a disappointment at best." — Vulture Posted Jun 24, 2011
	47%	Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)	" Jim Carrey's farts-and-flippers comedy, which, though exceedingly dumb, is at least very smart about what appeals to 4- to 10-year-old kids, fans of Happy Feet, March of the Penguins, and YouTube animal videos." — Vulture Posted Jun 17, 2011
	16%	Priest (2011)	" When you watch Bettany, you can't help wondering why the hell a talented actor is stuck in such an ungodly mess." — Vulture Posted May 13, 2011
	55%	Jumping the Broom (2011)	" "The comedy is as familiar as the ceremony at a cookie-cutter wedding factory: Much feels old or borrowed; nothing feels new."" — Vulture Posted May 6, 2011
	15%	Something Borrowed (2011)	" "Inept and implausible in almost every way, Something Borrowed is the smug rom-com answer to the Apatowian man-child comedy."" — Vulture Posted May 6, 2011
	61%	Water for Elephants (2011)	" "Pattinson's beauty crowds out just about everything else."" — Vulture Posted Apr 22, 2011
	48%	Super (2011)	" For all its indie posturing, Super feels as callow as any other big studio flick to court Comic Con: A B-movie splatter flick dressed up as a critique, dressed up as a black comedy, dressed up as a spoof, and capped with an ironic epilogue." — New York Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2011
	45%	Drive Angry (2011)	" It's the worst kind of bad: Boring bad." — New York Magazine Posted Feb 25, 2011
	100%	Fanny och Alexander (Fanny and Alexander) (1982)	" This premiere of the original cut, running at 312 minutes, leaves room for more than a story of one life." — New York Magazine Posted Dec 1, 2008
	93%	The Betrayal - Nerakhoon (2008)	" Even in a city bursting with extraordinary immigrant stories, this film about a Laotian-American family's journey to Brooklyn is unusually moving." — New York Magazine Posted Nov 17, 2008
	91%	Stranded: I Have Come from a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains (2008)	" Somber and exhaustive, the film manages to avoid exploitation while still conveying the harrowing ordeal of its subjects." — New York Magazine Posted Oct 20, 2008
	98%	Let the Right One In (2008)	" Tomas Alfredson somehow takes a wild premise -- a ravenous 12-year-old bloodsucker who strikes up a romance with a bullied young boy in small-town Sweden -- and executes it with restraint and style." — New York Magazine Posted Oct 20, 2008
	84%	Nights and Weekends (2008)	" Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig nail the everyday rhythms of stuttering indecision." — New York Magazine Posted Oct 6, 2008
	88%	Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine (2008)	" Remarkably and unsentimentally self-reflective, the artist talks to filmmakers Marion Cajori and Amei Wallach about a lifetime of tough work and tougher questions. Fascinating stuff." — New York Magazine Posted Jun 23, 2008
	53%	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	" Penn and Cho's stoner slapstick will doubtless please their obsessive fans." — New York Magazine Posted Apr 25, 2008
	39%	Dark Matter (2008)	" Director Chen Shi-Zheng is inconsistent from one scene to the next, alternating clichés with convincing, specific details. The film never quite earns its whopper of a finale." — New York Magazine Posted Apr 7, 2008
	75%	Naissance des Pieuvres (Water Lilies) (2008)	" The drama never merely titillates, instead developing a convincing dynamic among the three." — New York Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2008
	87%	Meduzot (Jellyfish) (2008)	" The film is shot through with keen observations and dry wit, and has a refreshing, easygoing sense of flow." — New York Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2008
	65%	Stop-Loss (2008)	" Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Pearce attempts to anchor the Iraq War debate in the lives of a specific subset of soldiers and nearly pulls it off. But her promising premise runs into a rut of incompatible accents and melodramatic excess." — New York Magazine Posted Mar 24, 2008
	66%	Sleep Dealer (2009)	" [This] lo-fi sci-fi debut is jam-packed with sly satirical gestures that more than compensate for its more-traditional shortcomings." — New York Magazine Posted Mar 24, 2008
	51%	CJ7 (2008)	" Even fans of Stephen Chow should probably skip his latest, kid-friendly flick. It's only sporadically funny, and often grating, and at some point you realize that you've been suckered into watching an extended advertisement for a toy." — New York Magazine Posted Mar 3, 2008
	90%	Sanxia Haoren (Still Life) (2006)	" More than any other director, the extraordinarily gifted Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhang-ke has a talent for locating the future in the present day." — New York Magazine Posted Feb 11, 2008
—	29%	Fun With Dick and Jane (2005)	— New York Magazine Posted Jul 14, 2007
	56%	Civic Duty (2006)	" Jeff Renfroe's film stirs up some timely anxieties, including the War on Terror, racial profiling." — New York Magazine Posted Apr 30, 2007
	64%	American Cannibal: The Road to Reality (2006)	" Reality TV has rarely cared much about truth -- and maybe this is the doc it deserves. The crass truthiness here is far more apt than any of the glossy satire in American Dreamz." — New York Magazine Posted Mar 16, 2007
	69%	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	" Sure, the bombast is extreme, and, yes, it spends more time on tall tales than impact reports, but this vigorous, energetic doc captures the allure of a business that has never thrived on subtlety." — New York Magazine Posted Oct 23, 2006
	76%	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	" Montiel's debut packs a visceral punch that most coming-of-age tales do not." — New York Magazine Posted Sep 25, 2006
	84%	Saint of 9/11 (2006)	" Certainly, this documentary honors Judge's memory, but one wishes for something greater." — New York Magazine Posted Sep 7, 2006
	59%	Red Doors (2005)	" A few of the plot threads are woven more neatly than others, but the film makes for a promising debut." — New York Magazine Posted Sep 7, 2006
	88%	Man Push Cart (2006)	" Ramin Bahrani's striking debut tracks a Pakistani street-cart vendor with a mysterious past as he pushes his steel box through Manhattan." — New York Magazine Posted Sep 7, 2006
	74%	Sherrybaby (2006)	" Cranky and desperate, Gyllenhaal is impeccable, but this is such a familiar tale that the resolution cannot help but feel predetermined." — New York Magazine Posted Sep 7, 2006
	88%	Bad Education (La Mala educación) (2004)	" It still exerts an uncanny power: Like the best of Almodóvar's work, it throws you a first-love sucker punch that will stagger your heart, mind, and soul." — New York Magazine Posted Feb 27, 2005
	56%	The Polar Express (2004)	" Strap yourself in and try not to vomit, because this is more of a theme-park event than a movie -- Pirates of the Caribbean in reverse, a wild ride stripped of its story, down to a rattling series of obvious, underwhelming effects." — New York Magazine Posted Jan 16, 2005
—	84%	The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro) (The Sea Within) (2004)	— New York Magazine Posted Jan 15, 2005
—	42%	A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)	— New York Magazine Posted Jan 15, 2005
—	68%	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	— New York Magazine Posted Jan 15, 2005
—	55%	Ocean's Twelve (2004)	— New York Magazine Posted Dec 12, 2004
—	26%	Noel (2004)	— New York Magazine Posted Nov 23, 2004
	78%	Overnight (2004)	" The latest entry in the ever-expanding Harvey Weinstein demonology, this jittery documentary is as raw as the filmmakers' rattled nerves." — New York Magazine Posted Nov 23, 2004
