Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
—— Horror Stories (2013) " Don't let the generic title, or the lack of household names, deter you. Horror Stories lives up to its name and then some." — Inside Horror

84% This Is the End (2013) " This is the End on Blu-ray is a great one to have on at your Halloween party this year." — Inside Horror
Posted Sep 28, 2013

Posted Sep 27, 2013
80% Prisoners (2013) " Highly entertaining." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Sep 18, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " Yes, it's formulaic; but thrillingly so. Yes, it's more accessible than arty; but it's still a handcrafted film." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Sep 18, 2013
85% We Are What We Are (2013) " The film looks picturesque as can be, is well-acted, and very smartly plotted." — Inside Horror
Posted Sep 18, 2013
42% All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2013) " A head-shaker of a twist undoes all the good built up in the beginning." — Inside Horror
Posted Sep 18, 2013
67% Curse of Chucky (2013) " Curse of Chucky is nicely restrained, eking out suspense and building characters before all voodoo hell breaks loose." — Inside Horror
Posted Sep 18, 2013
51% Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf's (2013) " Fawning, but fun and fashion forward." — StaciWilson.com
Posted Sep 18, 2013
63% 2 Guns (2013) " Armed to the teeth and with mouthfuls of quips reminiscent of classic R-rated bickering buddies Nolte and Murphy in 48 Hrs., director Baltasar Kormákur brings out the best in his leads." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Aug 3, 2013
63% 2 Guns (2013) " There's enough gleeful use of T-N-T in this fun-fare flick to make Wile E. Coyote look like Mahatma Gandhi." — StaciWilson.com
Posted Jul 31, 2013
54% Lovelace (2013) " Add the swinging '70s vibe to some cool costuming and an even groovier soundtrack, and you've got an entertaining (if sobering) night at the movies." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Jul 31, 2013
57% The Frozen Ground (2013) " In spite of the uneasy straddle between crime-thriller and true-story, the movie's got its moments." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Jul 31, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " Clad throughout most of the film donning nothing but his retractable knuckle-claws, muttonchops, and a body cut enough to put Ginsu out of business, Jackman actually does a great job of portraying the human, emotional side of the eponymous mutant." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Jul 31, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " It's great." — Inside Horror
Posted Jul 12, 2013
67% World War Z (2013) " World War Z is not a horror film, nor is it a deeply thought-provoking political thriller. But it is a fine action picture, and a good Brad Pitt movie." — Inside Horror
Posted Jun 18, 2013
44% The Call (2013) " While it may have disappointed on the big screen, The Call is fine for a night in." — Inside Horror
Posted Jun 17, 2013

Posted Jun 17, 2013
—— London The Modern Babylon (2013) " London: The Modern Babylon is, as a whole, a highly educational and extremely entertaining overview of 'The Smoke'." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Jun 17, 2013
56% Man of Steel (2013) " As a science fiction action extravaganza, I can't fault the latest from director Zack Snyder. But as a fun Superman comic book popcorn flick, I certainly can." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Jun 17, 2013
72% The Wall (2013) " The Wall is certainly [an] absorbing and intensely thought-provoking film." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Jun 17, 2013
47% Maniac (2013) " Maniac is an elegant and carefully crafted film, from start to finish." — Inside Horror
Posted May 15, 2013
55% Thale (2013) " Hokey CGI; if the budget wasn't enough to make the effects good enough, they should have been left out entirely." — StaciWilson.com
Posted May 5, 2013
85% Sightseers (2013) " Sightseers is not worth seeing at all." — StaciWilson.com
Posted May 5, 2013

Posted May 5, 2013
63% Kiss Of The Damned (2013) " Just about any episode of True Blood is sexier, more entertaining and thought-provoking than Kiss of the Damned." — StaciWilson.com
Posted May 5, 2013
27% Erased (2013) " It's a serviceable thriller, but brings nothing new to the arena." — StaciWilson.com
Posted May 5, 2013
76% Dead Man's Burden (2013) " Dead Man's Burden isn't [great], but it's not a bad horse opera and is unflinching in its depictions of harshness and violence." — Sci-Fi Weekly
Posted May 5, 2013
68% Barrymore (2012) " In spite of creating a CGI world around Plummer, much is lost in this translation, making an impressive performance from him seem inert." — StaciWilson.com
Posted May 5, 2013
76% Augustine (2013) " As the plot unfolds, the aim comes undone, leaving the viewer abandoned and wanting." — StaciWilson.com
Posted May 5, 2013
—— Lucky Bastard (2013) " "Lucky Bastard" is [a] very rare cinematic and suspenseful found footage film." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Apr 9, 2013

Posted Mar 29, 2013
62% Evil Dead (2013) " ...it's the best and bloodiest of the season." — Inside Horror
Posted Mar 29, 2013
71% My Amityville Horror (2013) " A rudderless exercise in examination, ultimately the doc has no point of view, no upshot, and no reason for being." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 26, 2013
—— Shadow People (The Door) (2013) " Nothing much ever happens in this ho-hum horror." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 26, 2013

Posted Mar 26, 2013
28% Upside Down (2013) " Riddled with cliches and eye-rollers, Upside Down is more down than upside." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 26, 2013
—— The Frankenstein Theory (2013) " Unfortunately, the film does not deliver on its promise." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 26, 2013
67% The Iceman (2013) " [Michael Shannon] is every bit as good as Robert De Niro or Harvey Keitel back in the day." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 26, 2013
47% The Lords of Salem (2013) " ...imbued with ambiance." — Inside Horror
Posted Mar 26, 2013
19% Lay the Favorite (2012) " While everything seems to be going in its favor, Lay The Favorite is a losing bet." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 13, 2013
75% The Intouchables (2012) " There are much better contemporary movies about dealing with the dynamics of being handicapped or wheelchair bound and overcoming obstacles, such as Rust & Bone, Amour, and The Diving bell and the Butterfly." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 13, 2013
82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " An epic soap opera obscured by high style and buoyed by Ryan Gosling's 8-pack abs, The Place Beyond the Pines is really nothing more than delicious drivel masquerading as a serious drama." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 13, 2013
53% Come Out And Play (2013) " A relentlessly routine remake." — StaciWilson.com
Posted Mar 5, 2013
59% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " It's more 'studio' than 'Sam' for sure. But, children who have not seen the original should take to it." — Yahoo! Movies
Posted Mar 5, 2013
4% 6 Souls (2013) " Tired and cliche ridden, yet watchable due to its stars Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers." — Inside Horror
Posted Mar 1, 2013
