Rating	Title \| Year	Quote	Author
42%	To The Wonder (2013)	"It looks great, the sound is interesting, the actors are doing what they are asked to do, but it didn't hit me the way The Tree of Life did. For fans only."	Alonso Duralde
88%	Upstream Color (2013)	"I have no idea what it was about, and I can't wait to see it again."	Alonso Duralde
82%	The Place Beyond The Pines (2013)	"Like a four-hour miniseries crammed into a 90-minute time slot."	Alonso Duralde
37%	Dead Man Down (2013)	"There's a crazypants crime movie and the damaged-people-find-each-other relationship movie, but together, it's a jambalaya that doesn't work."	Alonso Duralde
39%	The ABCs of Death (2013)	"It's a mixed bag, and it's mostly mixed toward the not-good."	Alonso Duralde
52%	Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)	"The beanstalk looks great; everything else is ugly, or fakey, or both."	Alonso Duralde
95%	West of Memphis (2012)	"A lot of it is treading on ground that's been laid by other people, but there's a lot of great new stuff, too."	Alonso Duralde
90%	Holy Motors (2012)	"A joyous experience."	Alonso Duralde
88%	Life of Pi (2012)	"As much as I hate a lot of the writing, it's a movie you've got to see on the big screen."	Alonso Duralde
78%	Flight (2012)	"Fooled me into thinking it was going to be smarter and more honest than it turned out to be."	Alonso Duralde
96%	Argo (2012)	"As a director, Ben Affleck is getting into Alan Pakula territory."	Alonso Duralde
85%	The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)	"It's a movie that captures what your teenage years are like when you're in them, and what your teenage years are like when you look back at them."	Alonso Duralde
77%	Killer Joe (2012)	"Really entertaining, and dark and twisted."	Alonso Duralde
88%	Titanic (2012)	"For all of its flaws, this movie works in the way that classic Hollywood movies do. It delivers."	Alonso Duralde
50%	Mirror Mirror (2012)	"The only ones who get the comedy are Nathan Lane and the dwarves."	Alonso Duralde
44%	Casa de mi padre (2012)	"Some big laughs, but it probably would have worked better as an Adult Swim series."	Alonso Duralde
26%	This Means War (2012)	"It's a glossy entertainment machine -- and I was entertained."	Alonso Duralde

46%	Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2012)	"Emotional pornography."	Alonso Duralde

88%	Margin Call (2011)	"Some of the dialogue's a little too on the nose, but it's a really compelling story."	Alonso Duralde
81%	Higher Ground (2011)	"Vera Farmiga proves herself to be, right out of the box, a terrific director."	Alonso Duralde
36%	The Thing (2011)	"Not as good as either of the previous Things, but it cobbles together the best elements of each."	Alonso Duralde
60%	Real Steel (2011)	"I didn't care which robot won the fight. And I didn't care about the people either."	Alonso Duralde
