T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
68%	Trance (2013)	" TRANCE is neither righteously wanton nor deliberately abstract. It's merely half-baked storytelling made memorable by sheer ugliness." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 10, 2013
96%	Blancanieves (2013)	" This film is simply gorgeous, pure beauty on film, a vision that leaves you breathless and reeling." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 8, 2013
——	This Is Where We Live ()	" THIS IS WHERE WE LVIE feels like a specimen of untempered life. Nothing rings false in this unassuming film." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 6, 2013
——	The Future (Il Futuro) ()	" THE FUTURE challenges us and darts out of grasp just when we think we've gotten it, but a day later and I can't stop thinking about it." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 6, 2013
27%	Project X (2012)	" PROJECT X is the male gaze substantiated and concentrated into ninety sweaty minutes. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
20%	Girls Against Boys (2013)	" Austin Chick's GIRLS AGAINST BOYS is clothed in the sort of misguided feminism that shoves a gun in the hands of leggy bartenders and calls them empowered." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
77%	Killer Joe (2012)	" Friedkin, Letts and the entire cast barrel ahead through incredibly strange, dark territory, never looking back to see if the audience is keeping up. But those who do won't regret it. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
91%	Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)	" SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED sticks the landing. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
85%	Sleepwalk With Me (2012)	" I guess there are only so many times you can tell a story - even a great story - before even you are tired of hearing it." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
32%	Intruders (2012)	" I could think of a half dozen things that INTRUDERS almost says, but the film doesn't take the time to actually say any of them. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
69%	Liberal Arts (2012)	" LIBERAL ARTS never manages to turn these great performances and familiar dilemmas into something substantial." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
100%	Under African Skies (2012)	" UNDER AFRICAN SKIES is much smarter and more profound than most music documentaries. It's a powerful, beautifully executed film that entertains, informs and questions." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
44%	Save The Date (2012)	" SAVE THE DATE is a mature, refreshingly honest portrait of relationships - between lovers, family members and friends - that never fails to deliver humor and insight." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
80%	Magic Mike (2012)	" The sexy mischief and the darkness and the earnest character beats all fit together in one terrifically entertaining, perfectly pitched success." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
78%	Dredd (2012)	" There's something to be said for DREDD's not taking itself too seriously, and if you do the same, you'll have a ball watching it." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
65%	The Campaign (2012)	" But for all its silliness, THE CAMPAIGN fixes what's broken in American politics with easy laughs and sharp truths." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
87%	ParaNorman (2012)	" PARANORMAN is ambitious and inventive, marvelously conceived, but the bulk of its value lies within the movie's open-minded philosophy." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
67%	Lawless (2012)	" If only LAWLESS weren't such a superficial endeavor, these parts would add up to a very entertaining whole. As is, the movie is fun while it lasts but forgettable soon after." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
86%	The Master (2012)	" THE MASTER is challenging, perplexing, at times infuriating - and always thoughtful. Indelible. And always, always beautiful." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
93%	Looper (2012)	" With a heady script, stunning performances and fist-pumping action, LOOPER is the most enjoyable combination of immensely watchable yet poignant, even cerebral." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
98%	The Loved Ones (2012)	" Sean Byrne has established himself as one hell of a guy to watch with his first feature film, delivering something bright, brand new and deeply felt." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
70%	Les Misérables (2012)	" Any heart, any familiarity in LES MISERABLES is due solely to the actors, and remains in spite of Hooper's best efforts." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
65%	Mama (2013)	" MAMA's a little silly and a little flawed, but it's a blast, it's original and, most importantly, it carries genuine emotional weight." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
——	When I Walk ()	" WHEN I WALK had every opportunity to be a depressing exercise in self-indulgence. But it benefits from DaSilva's courage, cheer and unflinching honesty." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
——	Fallen City ()	" A straightforward, nimble documentary, intimate and artless." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
100%	Kill Your Darlings ()	" KILL YOUR DARLINGS is really smart, but the movie never feels overly academic. It's too fun and frenzied, beautifully paced." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
——	Newlyweeds (2013)	" It's billed as a dark comedy about two stoners in love, but the laughs - dark or otherwise - are scarce in the film. No, scarce is generous. Laughs are non-existent." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
71%	The Look of Love ()	" It's an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours. But don't expect to learn anything deeper of Raymond's life than what can be gleaned from his Wikipedia page." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
——	Interior. Leather Bar. ()	" INTERIOR. LEATHER BAR. feels like it never has the guts to do what it set out to do. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
86%	Sightseers (2013)	" SIGHTSEERS is a wickedly funny, brutal little film, one with crushed skulls and huge laughs and a dreadfully clever use of Gloria Jones' original version of "Tainted Love."" — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
——	Inequality For All ()	" INEQUALITY FOR ALL brings politics to our doorstep and expects us to do the rest, to do our part. What's amazing is that it inspires us to do our part, as well. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
80%	Warm Bodies (2013)	" Not a particularly substantial film, but a charming, lovable one. " — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
85%	Side Effects (2013)	" Soderbergh is that rare director who can turn a clunky screenplay into something almost entirely delicious, and with SIDE EFFECTS he does exactly that." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
88%	Much Ado About Nothing (2013)	" MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is a triumph of charm and wit, going down so easily that we forget how astonishing it is that it actually exists." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
100%	Don Jon (2013)	" It's an admirable effort and a lot of fun. I only wish it weren't trying quite so hard, or that by trying so hard it doesn't still manage to undermine its own lesson." — Badass Digest Posted Apr 3, 2013
