Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
6.7/10 80% Something in the Air (2013) " Part of Something in the Air's charm is that director Olivier Assayas looks at this tumultuous time with a sense of understanding and empathy." — Paste Magazine
Posted May 10, 2013
8.3/10 91% Gimme The Loot (2013) " Much more grownup than it looks, Gimme the Loot is that rare teen-centric film whose brisk pace is unburdened by sentimentality." — Paste Magazine
Posted Mar 22, 2013
3/4 71% Greedy Lying Bastards (2013) " Condensed and to the point, the film gets its message out and includes a three-step guide on how to get involved." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Mar 7, 2013
6.2/10 46% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " Just when you thought you were done with the perennial teenage supernatural romance, it's back!" — Paste Magazine
Posted Feb 14, 2013
2.5/4 47% Bullet to the Head (2013) " Don't bother with plot coherence or plausibility - if you're going to a Stallone film for logic, then you're in the wrong theater." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Feb 5, 2013
6.9/10 90% Gayby (2012) " The good in Gayby easily outweighs the awkward staging and strained gags." — Paste Magazine
Posted Oct 26, 2012
0.5/4 10% Branded (2012) " Nothing more than a freshman's first term paper for a sociology 101." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Sep 11, 2012
6.5/10 85% Sleepwalk With Me (2012) " As an off-beat movie that depends on his conversational delivery, Sleepwalk with Me manages to avoid many of the standard romantic comedy pratfalls." — Paste Magazine
Posted Aug 31, 2012
2.5/4 58% Sparkle (2012) " The story takes melodramatic turns that threaten to stray into camp, and newcomer Jordin Sparks as the reserved titular character doesn't have the finesse to avoid it." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Aug 23, 2012
3/4 64% Girlfriend Boyfriend (2012) " Complicated but compelling, the film also struggles a bit with Yang's erratic direction, but that flaw mirrors the indecisiveness of Liam himself, who is played engagingly by Joseph Chang." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Aug 1, 2012
0.5/4 21% That's My Boy (2012) " There is a severe lack of chemistry between Sandler and Andy Samberg, the father-son duo audiences are supposed to be rooting for." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Jun 22, 2012
1.5/4 25% Mansome (2012) " Morgan Spurlock's latest nonthreatening documentary fails to find much point in its subject: men's grooming." — Boston Phoenix
Posted May 17, 2012
2.5/4 53% Think Like a Man (2012) " Relatable moments are easily the highlights of the movie, and they pop up frequently enough to make this boy's club believable." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Apr 19, 2012
2/4 44% American Reunion (2012) " A few clever notions on the problem of middle-aged dating are handled by pros Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge. Otherwise, it dips into Meet the Fockers material like Biggs into a baked good." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Apr 10, 2012
85% Sleepwalk With Me (2012) " This is an adorable film based on the story of a comedian struggling to break through in the business while bartending in a comedy club." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Mar 28, 2012
3/4 44% Casa de mi padre (2012) " Casa de mi Padre is an unorthodox entry in the stoner comedy-fauxsploitation genre, but it might feel at home on Ferrell's Funny or Die website." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Mar 15, 2012
3.5/4 85% 21 Jump Street (2012) " Writers Hill and Michael Bacall cleverly mix pop culture references, wit, and vulgarity to transform what might have been a one-joke knock-off into a comic original." — Boston Phoenix
Posted Mar 15, 2012
1.5/4 30% The Vow (2012) " The film's Nicholas Sparks-style sweet nothings extract as many eye rolls as "aws"; it's a box of cheap chocolates for someone you just met and you're not really sure you care for." — Boston Phoenix
