	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
3/5	83%	Instant Family (2018)	A feel-good comedy drama that squeezes laughs and sentiment from its fostering theme. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 11, 2019
3/5	58%	A Dog's Way Home (2019)	Those who like animals and a good cry need no more encouragement to share in Bella's adventures. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 22, 2019
3/5	86%	The 12th Man (2018)	The 12th Man is shamelessly old-fashioned, but sincere in capturing quiet stoicism. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 3, 2019
3/5	65%	Lizzie (2018)	[An] uneven but well-acted and pertinent drama... - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 10, 2018
3/5	58%	White Boy Rick (2018)	It's an entertaining ride, but the lack of a knock-out punch lessens the impact of the careful work all round. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 3, 2018
2/5	17%	The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018)	Crunching bones and tearing flesh are effectively rendered, yet expectations of cheap thrills drain away as the scares fail to materialise. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 3, 2018
2/5	No Score Yet	Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us (2018)	Regrettably, The Power of Us offers little to convert new recruits - it's a candy-coloured advert that effectively showcases product. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 26, 2018
2/5	32%	Kin (2018)	Kin ends up feeling like a pilot for a TV show that didn't deserve to be commissioned. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 5, 2018
2/5	83%	Juliet, Naked (2018)	Juliet, Naked is a cute but generic rom-com that's short of rom and almost completely devoid of com. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 29, 2018
3/5	76%	Smallfoot (2018)	If the setting and characters seem familiar, the film's warm and fuzzy message should stave off the winter blues. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 8, 2018
4/5	97%	1945 (2017)	It's the original slant that 1945 offers on the Holocaust that makes it essential, if bleak viewing. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 8, 2018
3/5	23%	Mile 22 (2018)	Mile 22 is about wham-bam video game action rather than geopolitical treatise but there's enough fantasy shock and awe here to justify anyone's buck. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 17, 2018
4/5	49%	Superfly (2018)	The aesthetic may have changed with the passing decades, but this superfly guy remains the man of the hour. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 10, 2018
1/5	13%	Action Point (2018)	Paramount's market research might have imagined that a low-rent Animal House / Caddyshack-type comedy aimed at the Jackass crowd would find its audience, but Action Point just isn't it. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 29, 2018
3/5	24%	Luis and The Aliens (2018)	A s a time-passer, it offers some shapeless fun for easily-amused kids. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 20, 2018
2/5	51%	Equalizer 2 (2018)	After four films with Fuqua, it's time for [Washington] to find a collaborator interested in making something more challenging than these childish, retrograde, wish fulfillment fantasies. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 13, 2018
3/5	82%	Beirut (2018)	The Negotiator is a decidedly old-school thriller: specific in scope, limited in action, grounded in political realities and conventional in resolution. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 6, 2018
4/5	60%	Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018)	Without any of the highbrow trimmings of a Pixar movie, A Monster Vacation is all an animation needs to be: fast, funny and good-humoured. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 23, 2018
1/5	11%	Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie (2018)	An impersonal slice of television that feels out of place on the big screen. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 16, 2018
3/5	45%	Marrowbone (2018)	Thrill-seekers are likely to be disappointed but anyone searching for an improvement on the usual mechanical ghost-train high jinks will be rewarded by a sober, well-constructed riff on classic genre tropes. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 9, 2018
1/5	44%	In Darkness (2018)	Those who do brave Byrne's silly, distasteful film will be rewarded with a twist that renders everything that went before it as complete and utter gibberish. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 2, 2018
3/5	95%	Who We Are Now (2018)	The power of Newton's film comes from the way he digs into Beth's vulnerability, depicting her inability to help herself. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 28, 2018
3/5	No Score Yet	The Parting Glass (2017)	O'Hare's writing is often excellent; it's a shame that his depiction of a tightly-wound family often feels closer to theatre than cinema. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 25, 2018
3/5	52%	Papillon (2018)	Arguments remain as to whether this survival story needed a retelling, but there is a case to be made for Noer's take being less bloated and more true to Charrière's book. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 25, 2018
2/5	91%	Searching (2018)	The online world becomes a narrative device to frame a conventional mystery that slips into abject ludicrousness as the story unravels. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 21, 2018
3/5	89%	Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat (2018)	The motives behind Basquiat's art may remain elusive, but the film drills down on its subject to offer a personal glimpse of an artist as a young man. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 18, 2018
3/5	32%	Super Troopers 2 (2018)	Audiences excited by the comic possibilities of a bear pursuing a trooper into a chemical toilet will get exactly what they want, and more, from this lightweight, decidedly low-brow sequel. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 11, 2018
2/5	14%	The Little Vampire 3D (2017)	Such beloved source material deserves a more polished revival than this. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted May 21, 2018
3/5	38%	Life of the Party (2018)	McCarthy's script, co-written with director / husband Ben Falcone, may be pure froth, but at least there's a positive representation of women behind the comedy. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted May 11, 2018
3/5	45%	The Hurricane Heist (2018)	It may be a far cry from his biggest hits, but Cohen has created an intoxicatingly silly movie perfect for late-night viewing, and it's one that deserves instant cult status. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 2, 2018
3/5	83%	The Bachelors (2017)	A sunny, laidback story of grief and healing that makes a few genial points before retreating into sentimental contrivance. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 26, 2018
3/5	27%	Proud Mary (2018)	Proud Mary delivers on its shopworn promise: the heroine is wronged, riled, and puts things right in brisk fashion. In a time of bloated blockbusters, the no-nonsense approach offers minor pleasures for genre fans, if little else. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 19, 2018
4/5	100%	Nae Pasaran (2018)	Nae Pasaran is a highly emotive documentary that demonstrates the power of solidarity in democracy, while also showing that admissions of guilt are rare. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 5, 2018
2/5	92%	Love, Simon (2018)	Indie dramas routinely tackle coming-out issues far better; in 2018 there's no reason or excuse for a commercial film to be so unwilling to honestly engage with the sexuality of its protagonist. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 5, 2018
1/5	20%	Submergence (2018)	Despite big-name stars, Wenders' film will provoke nothing but indifferent shrugs from the few who choose to sit through it. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 1, 2018
2/5	73%	The Party's Just Beginning (2018)	A breathlessly lurid account of growing up in Inverness that's equally shrill and unconvincing. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 26, 2018
2/5	17%	Father Figures (2017)	Wilson and Helms are the right leads for this odd couple tale of friction between a laidback bum and his uptight sibling, but the central conceit (that women enjoying sexual freedom is funny) no longer passes for a joke. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 12, 2018
	12%	Fifty Shades Freed (2018)	The climax, when it comes, is yet more of the fumbled plotting that has made the Fifty Shades films a trial to watch. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2018
2/5	23%	Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas (Tadeo Jones 2: El secreto del Rey Midas) (2017)	The Tad franchise has the sense to steal from the best, even if such copy-cat strategies deprive the hero of any unique character of his own. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 6, 2018
3/5	51%	12 Strong (2018)	Comes up fresh due to a strong cast, large-scale production, and a narrative scope that dodges difficult political questions. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 22, 2018
3/5	80%	Walk With Me (2017)	If you're prepared to do a little philosophical heavy-lifting for yourself, it's a thoughtful and persuasive invitation to a world of meditation. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 3, 2018
4/5	82%	Brigsby Bear (2017)	As a film, Brigsby Bear is as lovable as the title character himself. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 4, 2017
3/5	44%	The Star (2017)	This is a bible-based, animated adventure for children, with the emphasis on cute comedy and familiar pious tropes; it's somewhat dry and bland, but simplicity and an over-qualified voice cast help see it through. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 20, 2017
4/5	98%	Trophy (2017)	This powerful film is an absolute must for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of the issues involved. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 13, 2017
3/5	30%	A Bad Moms Christmas (2017)	The trademark irreverence keeps proceedings likeable, and in the face of such an onslaught of swearing, casual drug-use and cheerful excess, it seems churlish to complain. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 1, 2017
3/5	76%	Son of Bigfoot (2018)	An espionage-flavoured take on the Sasquatch myth, with directors Ben Stassen and Jeremy Degruson hitting the right, child-centric tone. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
4/5	75%	The Merciless (Bulhandang) (2017)	Byun delivers a taut and visceral slice of machismo; a tough, gaudy entry in the Korean crime cycle that's likely to expand the ever-growing fanbase for this kind of blood-drenched, bare-knuckle fare. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 23, 2017
2/5	15%	Geostorm (2017)	Bombastic and noisy, yet minuscule in emotional heft, it's a geostorm in a teacup. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 20, 2017
3/5	48%	My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)	It's cute, simple and surefooted enough to deliver a dog-and-pony show that the target audience, at least, are likely to adore. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 16, 2017
4/5	85%	Loving Vincent (2017)	By tapping into the innate power of great art, Kobiela and Welchman's drama adds up to more than the novelty of its sumptuous parts. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 13, 2017
