Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
1.5/5 58% At Any Price (2013) " It's one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen, and not in a particularly good way." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted May 3, 2013
4.5/5 52% The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) " Deliberately ambiguous, "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" provides just enough answers while leaving us with more than enough questions." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted May 3, 2013
4/5 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) " 'Iron Man 3 is one of the best entries in this modern golden age of superhero movies." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted May 1, 2013
1.5/5 8% The Big Wedding (2013) " Looks great, some terrific ingredients, but when you slice it up, what a disappointment." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 26, 2013
2.5/5 24% Arthur Newman (2013) " An offbeat, sometimes self-congratulatory road movie romance." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 26, 2013
3/5 46% Pain & Gain (2013) " Kudos to Bay and his screenwriters for making sure we're laughing at them, not with them." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 25, 2013
1.5/5 42% To The Wonder (2013) " We should not be exiting a Terrence Malick movie with a shrug, but there it is." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 23, 2013
3/5 56% Oblivion (2013) " This is the sci-fi movie equivalent of a pretty damn good cover band. " — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 19, 2013
5/5 68% Disconnect (2013) " "There wasn't a moment during this movie when I was thinking about anything other than this movie"" — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 12, 2013
3/5 77% 42 (2013) " "This is a competent but mostly unexceptional film about a most extraordinary man."" — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 12, 2013
2.5/5 54% The Company You Keep (2013) " "It winds up being less than the sum of its parts."" — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Apr 12, 2013
4/4 68% Disconnect (2013) " I believed the lives of these people. I believed they'd do the drastic things they do in the face of crisis. I ached for them when things went terribly wrong and rooted for them when there were glimmers of hope." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Apr 11, 2013
2.5/4 54% The Company You Keep (2013) " Nearly every scene had me asking questions about what just transpired when I should have been absorbing what was happening next." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Apr 11, 2013
3/4 77% 42 (2013) " "42" is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful - but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It's a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Apr 11, 2013
1/4 62% Evil Dead (2013) " I'm bored to death and sick to death of movies that seem to have one goal: How can we gross out the audience by torturing nearly every major character in the movie?" — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Apr 4, 2013
4/4 81% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " "The Place Beyond the Pines" earns every second of its 140-minute running time." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Apr 4, 2013
3/4 91% Gimme The Loot (2013) " This is a simple, meandering, slice-of-life indie film that feels more authentic than most "gritty" New York films with infinitely larger budgets." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 28, 2013
1.5/4 28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " Like a Dumpster bin behind Tiffany's, this contains nothing but well-packaged garbage." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 28, 2013
1.5/5 48% Olympus Has Fallen (2013) " 'Olympus Has Fallen is just too much of a pale 'Die Hard' ripoff." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Mar 22, 2013
3.5/4 66% Spring Breakers (2013) " A candy-colored fever dream is the most unforgettable movie of the year so far." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 21, 2013
2/4 43% Admission (2013) " "Admission" has some sublime moments, most of them involving Fey and Rudd dancing around their inevitable romance. The problem is in the foundation." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 21, 2013
3/4 38% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " Welcome back, Hilarious Jim Carrey. We've missed you." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 14, 2013
3/4 31% Emperor (2013) " The cliches are relatively few and spaced apart, and the tearjerking and profound moments are authentic and well-earned." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 7, 2013
2.5/4 60% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " It might have been more interesting if Raimi had attempted to shoot an "Oz" prequel using only the tools available to Victor Fleming and King Vidor in the late 1930s." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Mar 7, 2013
1.5/4 26% 21 And Over (2013) " Bleech. Tasteless. Even worse, unfunny." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 28, 2013
2/4 25% Phantom (2013) " Ed Harris in "Phantom" is like Steve Carlton with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1972 - delivering a wall-to-wall, amazing performance that's lost in a sea of dreadfulness." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 28, 2013
3.5/4 67% Stoker (2013) " What sets "Stoker" apart are the exquisitely grotesque bursts of death, which usually occur only after an effectively maddening series of tension-building scenes." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 28, 2013
3.5/4 52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " The action is a little too intense for very young children. But for everyone else, including cynical grown-up critics who didn't think they'd ever give a Fee, a Fi, a Fo or a Fum about this movie, it's a terrific adventure." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 28, 2013
2.5/4 58% Snitch (2013) " This movie executes two missions: A) to entertain us; and B) to put some big exclamation points on a couple of messages about certain drug laws in this country in need of a thorough re-examination." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 21, 2013
2.5/5 45% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " 'Beautiful Creatures' is stylish, campy fun at times." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Feb 18, 2013
1/5 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " What a disappointment." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Feb 18, 2013
1.5/4 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " McClane has been stripped of any real traces of an actual three-dimensional character. We feel as if we're watching Bruce Willis in a Bruce Willis movie in which Bruce Willis can survive anything while taking out the villains, video-game style." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 14, 2013
2.5/4 45% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " It's first and foremost a semi-plodding teen romance with supernatural overtones." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 13, 2013
1.5/4 13% Safe Haven (2013) " Either the filmmakers were out of their minds, or they must think we're out of our minds to buy into this schmaltz." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 13, 2013
3/5 85% Side Effects (2013) " Steven Soderbergh is one of our best and most versatile directors." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Feb 8, 2013
2/5 20% Identity Thief (2013) " "Identity Thief" is a cheap copy of much better comedies." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Feb 8, 2013
2/4 20% Identity Thief (2013) " It wants to be "Midnight Run" meets "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," but it carries little of the dramatic heft and real-world semi-plausibility of those much superior efforts." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Feb 7, 2013
4.5/5 80% Warm Bodies (2013) " This is a bloody fresh twist on the zombie genre." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Feb 3, 2013
2/4 47% Bullet to the Head (2013) " This is the kind of brainless action movie Sylvester Stallone would have starred in circa 1985. That it stars a Stallone who's closer to 70 than 60 is just ... weird." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jan 31, 2013
3.5/4 80% Warm Bodies (2013) " I kinda love this movie. "Warm Bodies" is a well-paced, nicely directed, post-apocalyptic love story with a terrific sense of humor and the, um, guts to be unabashedly romantic and unapologetically optimistic." — Chicago Sun-Times
Posted Jan 31, 2013
3/5 30% Broken City (2013) " If you're in the mood for some slick trash featuring great actors slumming it without phoning it in, "Broken City" is a crackling good time." — Richard Roeper.com
Posted Jan 28, 2013
0/4 4% Movie 43 (2013) " "Movie 43" is the "Citizen Kane" of awful." — Chicago Sun-Times
