Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
3.5/5 75% Haunter (2013) " It's a puzzling, beautifully constructed reverse ghost story that shows Natali is unafraid to push the envelope regardless of the genre." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 6, 2013
3/5 46% Bullet to the Head (2013) " The movie's titled Bullet to the Head, what the heck do you think it's going to be?" — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3.5/5 85% The Way Way Back (2013) " The Way Way Back is a real crowd-pleasing charmer that breaks free of its familiar trappings with consistent humor and personal touches." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3/5 67% Magic Magic (2013) " Silva takes us by the hand and drags us into the madness as well, and it's an experience that is wholly uncomfortable." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3.5/5 84% Side Effects (2013) " This is one of those films where every single line of dialogue has a meaning, then another meaning, and possibly a third as perspectives shift with each new revelation." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
1.5/5 85% Upstream Color (2013) " More a series of obtuse moments loosely connected by the most threadbare of plots, it's unfortunately one of those films some will praise merely because they don't want to be left out in the cold." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
4.5/5 98% Before Midnight (2013) " Before Midnight feels like the natural extension of the series, and will be everything fans of it could have hoped for." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
2/5 54% Lovelace (2013) " The campy script gives way to campy performances from a plethora of celebrities making distracting cameos." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3.5/5 75% The East (2013) " Provocative and exciting, with bigger set pieces and a fierce devotion to character development, this is the sort of smart genre thriller that Hollywood needs more of." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
4/5 81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " With a dark, storybook mood set firmly in the mode of Terrence Malick's Badlands, or perhaps even Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James, Lowery flips the Bonnie & Clyde paradigm on its ear. " — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3/5 73% Breathe In () " Doremus opts for a slow boil compared to his previous film's passionate whirlwind, while maintaining a sense of intimacy and urgency magnified by Jones and Guy Pearce's soulful performances." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
2.5/5 69% Stoker (2013) " Subtlety is never this film's strong suit, and any mystery there is quickly paved over beneath a thick layer of stupidity." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
4.5/5 91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " The film deals believably and honestly with teen anxieties about the future, while also exploring the familial impact of addiction." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
4/5 95% Stories We Tell (2013) " To her credit, Polley never attempts to deflect the painful truths that she unearths, leaving them raw and open for us to experience right along with her." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3/5 50% Death Race 3: Inferno (Unrated) (2013) " Watching Death Race 3: Inferno is a lot like a casual viewer taking in the Indianapolis 500. Watching the cars go around is ok, but what puts butts in seats is the threat of wanton destruction, and there's plenty of it here. " — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3.5/5 93% No (2013) " An incredible and prescient real life story of how a savvy ad campaign brought about real political change." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3/5 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " An entertaining but wholly unspectacular flick that can't seem to figure out if it wants to be The Untouchables or Dick Tracy." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
3/5 29% Broken City (2013) " Broken City is passable, occasionally entertaining but ultimately uninspiring. " — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
2/5 29% Struck by Lightning (2013) " This is a highly confused film that doesn't seem to know exactly what it wants to be." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 5, 2013
2/5 8% Runner Runner (2013) " Packs mucho star power, boasts a gorgeous Costa Rican locale, and yet lacks the one thing that every thriller needs to succeed: actual thrills." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 3, 2013
3/5 46% Parkland (2013) " Parkland works when focusing on the little things, making us feel like true witnesses to history rather than judging it through the benefit of hindsight." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 3, 2013
4.5/5 98% Gravity (2013) " If the measure of a film's true greatness is how deeply it immerses you into a world we're unlikely to experience in reality, then Gravity is purely, simply one of the best movies ever made." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 3, 2013
3.5/5 60% +1 (2013) " Part Project X, part existential sci-fi head-scratcher with echoes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dennis Iliadis' +1 is a unique and endlessly entertaining addition to the teen comedy genre" — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 30, 2013
4/5 95% Enough Said (2013) " Paired up with the always-wonderful Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gandolfini is the heart and soul of a wonderfully funny and incisive film about giving love a second chance." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 27, 2013
4/5 83% Don Jon (2013) " Don Jon is a bold, sexy, and completely original comedy that proves Gordon-Levitt can do pretty much anything he sets a mind to." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 26, 2013
4/5 88% Rush (2013) " Rush is at its heart the ultimate guy flick, about two vastly different guys whose hatred for one another was only surpassed by their desire to be the best." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 26, 2013
3.5/5 78% Kill Your Darlings (2013) " Even if it's not as revelatory or insightful as one might hope, it's still a compelling tale of the influences that shaped our most consequential writers of the 20th century." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 25, 2013
2/5 5% Battle of the Year (2013) " A film steeped in the streetwise hip-hop culture should have an edge, but Battle of the Year is safer and softer than Drake's last album. " — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 19, 2013
4/5 80% Prisoners (2013) " An unforgettable crime thriller that is guaranteed to be the most talked about and fiercely debated movie of the season." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 19, 2013
2/5 50% Thanks For Sharing (2013) " Thanks for Sharing has its charms, but it's both too shallow and too busy, and not all that perceptive." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 19, 2013
2.5/5 —— Paradise (2013) " The emotional beats are lacking in any depth or insight, and Cody seems to be trying hard to be inoffensive." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 16, 2013
4/5 99% Short Term 12 (2013) " Short Term 12 emerges out of nowhere and blindsides you in a way few movies could ever hope to." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 15, 2013
1/5 3% Getaway (2013) " Wanting desperately to be Fast & Furious, Getaway is more like the schizophrenic cousin to 12 Rounds." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 15, 2013
3/5 74% The Grandmaster (2013) " Each battle moves with such balletic grace they make Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon seem as if it's standing still." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 15, 2013
3/5 60% Riddick (2013) " An economical and solidly entertaining film that recaptures everything that made Pitch Black such a cult favorite." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 15, 2013
3/5 44% Bounty Killer (2013) " Part Mad Max, part Death Race 2000, there's never a dull moment in Henry Saine's wildly over-the-top Bounty Killer." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 15, 2013
2/5 34% Adore (2013) " Never goes into the dark, sordid territory a story such as this demands, and lacks the passion it deserves." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 15, 2013
2/5 —— CBGB (2013) " There's very little rockin' goin' on at the CBGB, and those unfamiliar with it will wonder what the fuss is all about." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 12, 2013
4/5 86% Blue Caprice (2013) " While Blue Caprice is basically a character study, the fury of the killing spree is captured in quick and vivid brutality." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 12, 2013
2.5/5 35% Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) " The mix is way off this time and much of it has to do with Wan falling back on standard horror tactics." — Examiner.com
