Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	78%	Iron Man 3 (2013)	" I go to the Iron Man films, like everyone else, for Robert Downey Jr. He is the series in the way that few actors, outside of Sean Connery as James Bond or Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, have ever been." — New Statesman Posted Apr 24, 2013
	——	I Am Divine ()	" It made me fall in love with Divine all over again." — New Statesman Posted Apr 22, 2013
	87%	In the House (2013)	" To watch it is to be simultaneously seduced and interrogated." — New Statesman Posted Apr 22, 2013
	81%	The Place Beyond The Pines (2013)	" The mythically tinged final scene brings events full circle in a way that is superficially satisfying while also conceding that the movie's chief concern is men and the art of motorcycle maintenance." — New Statesman Posted Apr 22, 2013
	58%	Kaboom (2011)	" The tone and production values suggest a mixture of daytime soap, gay porn and Twilight slash-fiction, but the film's greatest asset, as ever with Araki, is sincerity." — Sight and Sound Posted Jun 14, 2011
	88%	Superbad (2007)	" Honest goodwill, fond observational detail and Greg Mottola's exuberant direction make the picture nigh on irresistible, but there are some missteps." — Sight and Sound Posted Jul 6, 2010
1/5	18%	Dance Flick (2009)	" A musical spoof with two left feet and no rhythm." — Heat Magazine Posted Aug 24, 2009
	93%	My Life to Live (It's My Life) (Vivre sa vie: Film en douze tableaux) (1962)	" You can see now what Bernard Rose, Mike Figgis, Lars von Trier and all the other DV-fixated filmmakers are striving for; they're trying to reclaim the freedom, the weightlessness, of cinema. Bravo to them." — Observer [UK] Posted Oct 24, 2007
	51%	Manderlay (2006)	" The audience's familiarity with the stylistic devices of Manderlay should allow the film's more reflective screenplay to shine through." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
	72%	Syriana (2005)	" The disorientation is purely cosmetic." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
	76%	Time to Leave (Le Temps Qui Reste) (2006)	" The entire film is a balancing trick, with scenes of potential banality redeemed at the last by a subtle twist or subversion. In their conflicted expressions, the performers prove themselves experts at their own high-wire acts." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
	82%	Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)	" If anything cramps Depp, and the film's sense of fun, it is the weight that is placed on reconciliation between Wonka and his father." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
—	92%	Vera Drake (2004)	" An exceptional breadth of context and compassion is evident here, though the film is as much a triumph of production design as it is of acting, writing and direction." — Sight and Sound Posted Jan 15, 2005
	90%	Last Life in the Universe (2004)	" It's an unsuccessful experiment in combining genres that are as irreconcilable as oil and water." — Sight and Sound Posted Aug 3, 2004
	88%	Bad Education (La Mala educación) (2004)	" When the film gets in a spin, Bernal is its compass." — Sight and Sound Posted Jun 1, 2004
	43%	I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)	" Some effort is made to question the macho values of the crime genre, and it is this that best distinguishes I'll Sleep When I'm Dead from other recent British thrillers." — Sight and Sound Posted May 4, 2004
2/5	77%	Big Fish (2003)	— Independent Posted Jan 24, 2004
	61%	Gerry (2003)	" The picture can be read as a warning about the perils of improvisation -- a neat joke given how fruitful that method proves here." — Sight and Sound Posted Oct 7, 2003
	76%	8 Mile (2002)	" 8 Mile may have corniness in its bones, but there are ambiguities enough here for a whole other movie." — Sight and Sound Posted Feb 4, 2003
	77%	Changing Lanes (2002)	" The pleasure of watching Affleck forcibly relieved of his security and complacency will be relished by anyone who enjoyed seeing Cary Grant sullying his suit in North by Northwest..." — Sight and Sound Posted Nov 5, 2002
