Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2.5/5	83%	Graceland (2013)	" Morales, who also wrote the script, knows how to pull at our heartstrings, especially with scenes involving child prostitutes." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Apr 28, 2013
2.5/5	45%	On the Road (2012)	" Hedlund is too pretty and not quite as maniacally charming as Dean. Riley's Kerouac is even more apprehensive than the one in the novel, and that raspy voice he uses is distracting." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Mar 22, 2013
3/5	65%	Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey (2013)	" This movie works beyond just a modern-day fairy tale." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Mar 8, 2013
3/5	94%	The Rabbi's Cat (2012)	" It's a movie that packs all its ideas in beautifully animated doses, filled with Northern African music and landscapes. It may get clunky, but it's easy to get lost in its loveliness." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jan 18, 2013
3/5	48%	The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012)	" Wow, is it fun." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Nov 16, 2012
3.5/5	56%	For a Good Time, Call... (2012)	" Quirky, hilarious and inexplicably charming." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Aug 31, 2012
2/5	83%	Comic-Con: Episode IV - A Fan's Hope (2012)	" A loving yet scattered documentary about San Diego Comic-Con International." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Apr 5, 2012
3/5	72%	The Future (2011)	" A heartbreaking journey of defeat and loss." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Aug 12, 2011
3/5	96%	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011)	" It's so detailed and mature that there's really nothing left for us to do but put down our round spectacles and our wands and return to our far less fascinating Muggle existence." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jul 15, 2011
3/5	80%	Conan O'Brien Can't Stop (2011)	" Members of Team Coco will eat it up. But even those on Team Jay (Leno) can't deny that the film is a fascinating look at one of TV's most creative personalities." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jun 26, 2011
1.5/4	59%	Yves Saint Laurent - L'amour fou (2011)	" Those looking for YSL drama and passion are more likely to find it in a department store rather than in a movie theater." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jun 2, 2011
3/5	75%	Everything Must Go (2011)	" The world of "Everything Must Go" isn't the easiest one to visit, but when it comes to the work of Ferrell, it's perhaps the most relatable one." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted May 13, 2011
3/4	69%	Babies (2010)	" Definitely the kind of cute that makes your heart all warm inside." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted May 7, 2010
3/4	91%	The Secret of Kells (2010)	" With its themes of war and faith, along with just the right amount of cute, it's pretty obvious why the Irish animated film got noticed by the Academy." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Apr 8, 2010
2/4	63%	Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)	" There are some laugh-out-loud moments, for sure. But it's easy, nostalgic humor about oversized cell phones and how Kid 'n Play are really two different people." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Mar 25, 2010
2.5/4	84%	The Princess and the Frog (2009)	" In classic Disney tradition, the movie is a funny and endearing adventure. It's filled with beautiful hand-drawn animation that gives jazz-age New Orleans a golden-hued landscape that's as rich as its culture." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Dec 11, 2009
2.5/4	49%	Twilight (2008)	" Thanks to Pattinson's furrowed eyebrows, crooked smiles and carefully crafted hairstyles, he delivers just the Edward we've been waiting for." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Nov 21, 2008
2.5/4	58%	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	" There are lots of honey-as-romantic metaphor scenes, creating the feeling of an after-school special. But the theme that ultimately shines through is Lily's desire to find unconditional love." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Oct 17, 2008
2.5/4	14%	Made of Honor (2008)	" The plot becomes very familiar -- not just like My Best Friend's Wedding, but like a mishmash of every romantic comedy ever written." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted May 2, 2008
	7%	Summer Catch (2001)	" While Summer Catch doesn't have a particularly smart, savvy script and doesn't cover anything new, it is nice to see a movie about motivated college kids who spend their summer at the ball park." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Aug 24, 2001
	69%	Thomas in Love (Thomas est amoureux) (2000)	" Thomas in Love touches on so many subjects and is so visually interesting to watch that it won't just enrich your weekend movie plans, but stimulate your way of thinking as well." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Aug 17, 2001
	40%	Boys to Men (2001)	" The good stuff is sparse." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted May 21, 2001
	9%	Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)	" This is the kind of horror that makes you wince from silly slasher music, too much blood and dumb coincidences." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jan 1, 2000
	29%	Jakob the Liar (1999)	" Jakob the Liar is more pleasant than painful. And with Williams, that's really all we're asking for." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jan 1, 2000
	96%	Chicken Run (2000)	" There's hardly ever a lull in the action." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jan 1, 2000
	26%	Bait (2000)	" A fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat, Saturday night kind of film -- one that's even, at times ... impressive." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jan 1, 2000
	19%	Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)	" As long as the kids leave the theater twirling and dancing, you've got a magical family experience." — San Diego Union-Tribune Posted Jan 1, 2000
