Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
.5/4 18% Parental Guidance (2012) " Offers a confused and flat portrayal of generational differences." — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 24, 2012
.5/4 5% Nature Calls (2012) " Writer-director Todd Rohal fills muddled scenes with manic amounts of jokes that all manage to land with a thud. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 6, 2012
1/4 26% The Numbers Station (2013) " Sits awkwardly between shoot 'em up and psychological thriller without offering the excitement of either." — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 21, 2013
1/4 65% Disconnect (2013) " Fails not so much because of its occasional self-seriousness or didacticism than it does from a scattered plot that makes the story's overriding theme or message difficult to grasp." — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 7, 2013
1/4 35% Cheerful Weather For The Wedding (2012) " The Donald Rice film suffers most from an excessively blunt approach." — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 6, 2012
1/4 0% Trade of Innocents (2012) " Trade of Innocents is as much a piece of social-justice campaigning as it is a work unto itself, an important fact to remember when considering its many flaws." — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 29, 2012
1/4 28% Backwards (2012) " Streamlines its busy set of plots into a 90-minute sprint, throughout which characters often confront and overcome their obstacles within the same scene. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 17, 2012
1.5/4 68% The Iceman (2013) " Michael Shannon has no interior to play with, since the film seems intent on ridding Richie of any emotion other than love for his family, and also no catharsis to build toward." — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 29, 2013
1.5/4 65% Starbuck (2013) " Yet another example of modern-family predicaments getting stuffed into the traditional-family-values message of conventional comedies." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 16, 2013
1.5/4 64% The Fitzgerald Family Christmas (2012) " Edward Burns certainly doles out his fair share of family turmoil, but he admirably doesn't make lunatics out of his characters. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 2, 2012
1.5/4 71% We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists (2012) " The doc's straightforward and chronological structure is its own worst enemy." — Slant Magazine
Posted Oct 14, 2012
2/4 61% The Wall (2013) " We may find out how Gedeck's character reacts to her isolation, but we're never privy to her actual feelings, largely because in a film about a sudden onset of solitude, Pölsler is far too afraid of silence." — Slant Magazine
Posted May 27, 2013
3/5 78% Dirty Wars (2013) " Ably leads us through its extensive investigation, faltering only when the camera lingers on Jeremy Scahill for a touch too long at the expense of his interview subjects." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 2, 2013
2.5/4 100% The Attack (2013) " The film is most interesting as an articulation of how its main character's initial status as an emblem of inter-religious understanding quickly dissolves following a suicide bombing." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 15, 2013
2.5/4 23% Arthur Newman (2013) " Throughout Dante Ariola's film, the expressions of the false-identity theme are multitudinous, and about as subtle as Wallace's choice for a new last name." — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 24, 2013
2.5/4 —— Our Nixon (2013) " The videos fail in their promise of revealing intimate moments, but the doc highlights how close Nixon, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and Chapin were in other ways. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 17, 2013
2.5/4 —— Sudoeste (Southwest) () " The inscrutability of the plot, intriguing at first, is ultimately impenetrable. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 12, 2013
2.5/4 67% California Solo (2012) " Robert Carlyle's performance compensates for the film's less successful elements and even makes you wonder if they might be strengths." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 24, 2012
2.5/4 98% Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence In The House Of God (2012) " Alex Gibney's latest lacks a certain cinematic depth, but that doesn't take away from its admirable reporting." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 11, 2012
2.5/4 96% Chasing Ice (2012) " If you need it, the doc offers a devastating, and often beautifully shot, reality check." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 3, 2012
3/4 97% 20 Feet From Stardom (2013) " This joyous documentary leaves us wanting to immediately seek out the incredible, sometimes unfamiliar music we've just heard." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 10, 2013
3/4 75% Simon Killer (2013) " The film has many elements of a thriller, but ultimately Antonio Campos's interest lies much more in profiling, yet never over-determining, his moody protagonist." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 31, 2013
3/4 89% A Place at the Table (2013) " More difficult to convey are the web of moral and political issues that surround the hunger crisis, and A Place at the Table proves its worth most by how it treats this wider set of problems." — Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 23, 2013
3/4 95% West of Memphis (2012) " By taking a disturbing and sometimes conflicted look at the prejudices that led to the West Memphis Three's imprisonment, it asks murky questions about how people could get something so wrong for so long." — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 19, 2012
3/4 82% Two Years at Sea (2012) " The stillness and silence with which we look upon Jake Williams ranges from curious to unnerving to fascinating. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Oct 5, 2012
3.5/4 79% Augustine (2013) " Alice Winocour's take on this true story carries the superficial trappings of a period drama, but its perspective is entirely contemporary." — Slant Magazine
Posted May 12, 2013
3.5/4 100% Blue Caprice () " The filmmakers are more interested in questioning what brings people to commit senseless and merciless acts than they are preoccupied with the historical record." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 16, 2013
2/2 52% The Playroom (2013) " Lacking much in the way of character depth, the film attempts to fill the gap with melodrama." — Slant Magazine
