Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
8% Argento's Dracula 3D (2013) " Unfortunately, Argento never acknowledges he's in on the joke, nor is the film quite ridiculous enough for us to coast enjoyably on derision." — Village Voice
Posted Oct 1, 2013
78% The Dirties (2013) " The Dirties explores high school violence from a refreshingly original angle." — Village Voice
Posted Oct 1, 2013
80% Drinking Buddies (2013) " Swanberg's careful eye perceives the nuances of those conflicts with greater perspicacity than ever before; never have his tiny moments of truth felt so honest or clear." — Village Voice
Posted Aug 20, 2013
68% The Artist and the Model (2013) " Offers as generic a portrait of its central relationship as its title suggests." — Village Voice
Posted Jul 30, 2013
28% Drift (2013) " Not so much drifting as veering between storylines, Ben Nott and Morgan O'Neill's Drift often feels like a film with narrative ADD." — Village Voice
Posted Jul 30, 2013
97% L'Avventura (The Adventure) (1960) " Antonioni created, as the Cannes jury put it in 1960, a new language of cinema, one that perfectly expressed a modern alienation that's enduring as well as the film." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 12, 2013
47% I'm So Excited! (2013) " I'm So Excited! is characterized by a distinct brand of unsuccessful yet ambitious storytelling, the kind often found in minor works by major masters." — Village Voice
Posted Jun 25, 2013
90% Storm Surfers 3D (2013) " Admittedly, the stunning visuals captivate for much of the picture, but as the novelty wears off, and the beauty turns from stunning to repetitive, the non-surfers in the theater may begin to grow restless." — Village Voice
Posted Jun 11, 2013
50% Now You See Me (2013) " When functioning like a magic trick, this breathlessly entertaining picture delights in its showmanship, but the more entertaining the trickery, the tougher the explanation, and when the truth is revealed the answer can't help but fail to satisfy." — Village Voice
Posted May 30, 2013
—— Triumph Of The Wall (2013) " Not so much a crafted film as a compendium of one guy's musings." — Village Voice
Posted May 28, 2013
64% Epic (2013) " With its array of goofy sidekicks (Aziz Ansari as a slug almost runs away with the whole picture) and carefully crafted relationships, Epic certainly manages to tell a compelling tale." — Village Voice
Posted May 24, 2013
85% Sightseers (2013) " Sightseers is a jet-black comedy that understands exactly how absurdist it is, and its murders are always played for laughs-aided by their gruesome depictions." — Village Voice
Posted May 9, 2013
35% Peeples (2013) " While she doesn't quite achieve the screwball zaniness she strives for, Chism deserves commendation for crafting a farcical work that feels like it concerns real characters." — Village Voice
Posted May 8, 2013
76% Dead Man's Burden (2013) " A refreshing respite from filmmakers who believe the only low-budget option is to stay firmly ensconced in their own milieu." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 30, 2013
74% Love Is All You Need (2013) " Its strongest moments come when Bier exceeds the expectations of the genre ..." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 30, 2013
88% Herman's House (2013) " Against the prospect of unhappy endings, the human spirit still strives." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 16, 2013
88% In the House (2013) " In the House creates something far more original than the same old heart-pounding exercise." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 16, 2013
81% André Gregory: Before and After Dinner (2013) " Viewers may find the narrative aimlessness here frustrating. Perhaps a narrower scope-like one dinner?-could have proven more manageable." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 3, 2013
69% Trance (2013) " Anything goes, which may make all this great fun for the hallucinogenically inclined, but since nothing in these sequences has any lasting consequences, suspense is difficult to amplify." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 3, 2013
16% Temptation (2013) " Perry has some worthwhile filmic models-Temptation gestures at Woody Allen in its setup, and Douglas Sirk in its melodrama-but he isn't even in the same star cluster as those greats." — Village Voice
Posted Apr 1, 2013
83% From Up On Poppy Hill (2013) " Some third-act revelations may really test the scales of plausibility, but Poppy Hill ultimately is not about its story as much as the emotional states it probes." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 12, 2013
—— Crazy and Thief (2013) " Clocking in at just 51 minutes, Crazy and Thief nevertheless could have been a great deal shorter." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 12, 2013
96% War Witch (2013) " Nguyen's matter-of-fact storytelling proves to be the right match for a life of extraordinary suffering." — Village Voice
Posted Feb 26, 2013
61% A Fierce Green Fire (2013) " There's no consistent narrative thread to carry the film from start to finish, and A Fierce Green Fire fails to open any singular intellectual or psychological point of investigation." — Village Voice
Posted Feb 26, 2013
2/4 20% My Uncle Rafael (2012) " It's all too simplistic, but there's something about watching this inept, callow, bourgeois family getting slapped, scolded, and generally schooled by their new, platitude-spewing Armenian "uncle" that's perversely entertaining. " — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 20, 2012
1/4 49% Hit & Run (2012) " Far more frustrating than the film's banally conventional plot structure is its characters' lack of depth." — Slant Magazine
