Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
7/10 74% Love Is All You Need (2013) " It's thanks to a calming Italian setting and amiable chemistry between its leads that the film is able to rise above its conventional setup and sometimes erratic and convoluted plot developments." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 5, 2013
6/10 33% The Numbers Station (2013) " Assembled from competent elements and featuring more dedicated performances than one might expect, The Numbers Station is still a tad too nondescript to leave much of an impact." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 25, 2013
6/10 55% Down the Shore (2013) " In terms of pace, Down the Shore walks a very narrow line between deliberate and utterly languid, but there are just enough strong performances and intriguing (if messy) dynamics to make it work." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 16, 2013
7/10 89% The Angels' Share (2013) " With The Angels' Share, Ken Loach expertly combines a handful of genres which congeal into an often funny, always charming affair that serves as a salute to whisky to boot." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 11, 2013
5/10 50% Into the White (2013) " As dramatically potent as a B-tier Disney drama, Into the White, while displaying instances of complexity, is mired by cliché and melodrama." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 11, 2013
6/10 4% 6 Souls (2013) " Convention-straddled to a significant fault, 6 Souls is however notable for its performances and for sticking to its creepy, contained formula, far more at least than most recent horror films." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 5, 2013
7/10 94% Room 237 (2013) " Room 237 is both an ode to the subversive nature of the movies and a fascinating insight into clashing obsessions in its most lurid form, even when its stylistic choices seek to destroy the experience." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 2, 2013
7/10 65% Starbuck (2013) " While overly contrived and often slight, Starbuck is a feel-good comedy to be rivalled and benefits immensely from a snappy, wry screenplay and charming performance from Huard." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 31, 2013
9/10 90% My Brother The Devil (2013) " An engrossing debut from director Sally El Hosaini, My Brother the Devil is as authentic, emotionally complex and powerfully acted as any film you'll see this year." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 30, 2013
7/10 93% The Sapphires (2013) " Melodramatic and clichéd to a fault, The Sapphires is however elevated by winsome performances, particularly O'Dowd, and plentiful musically-driven charm." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 22, 2013
5/10 81% From Up On Poppy Hill (2013) " Soft, warm animation and resonant reflections on death, moving on and growing up can't fully overcome slighter plot points and erratic music choices." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 16, 2013
6/10 96% War Witch (2013) " While War Witch is a gorgeously made film with strong, natural performances from its leads." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 2, 2013
8/10 77% Kon Tiki (2013) " This Scandinavian import is a lavishly constructed true-to-life epic that stands among the most thrilling and accessible films of this year's Academy Award nominations." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 10, 2013
8.5/10 100% Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007 (2012) " Everything or Nothing is one of the best films of the year and the rare documentary that can fascinate, inform and enliven all at the same time." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 9, 2012
5.5/10 43% Hotel Transylvania (2012) " Hotel Transylvania is a chief offender when it comes to the issues plaguing mainstream animation today and in a number of ways is a significant step back for Sony Pictures Animation after their hit Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 28, 2012
3.5/10 55% Bachelorette (2012) " Bachelorette is a thoroughly off-putting misfire that squanders its talented cast with horrible writing and an overabundance of bitter fights, vulgar language and general bitchiness." — We Got This Covered
