T-Meter Title | Year
93% James Dean (2001) Even those of us who suspected that Franco had a great performance in him couldn't have imagined it would be this great... In his spectacular, heartfelt performance, Franco walks Dean's walk and feels his pain. - Salon.com EDIT

71% The Lost Prince (2003) The Lost Prince is a gorgeously filmed, bittersweet study of family dysfunction and the resiliency of the spirit in the face of loneliness and rejection. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

No Score Yet Julius Caesar (Caesar) (2002) Crackling good entertainment, terrific acting... richly handsome cinematography, and a piquant script. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

60% The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004) Wyle's geeky charm and the story's glorification of book learnin' are enough to keep the good vibes aloft. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

69% The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) The film makes you care so little for its subject that you might be compelled to turn it off were it not for Rush's valiant mimicry. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

No Score Yet Something the Lord Made (2004) Moving without being maudlin; it doesn't over-inflate the inherent drama of the two men's relationship or the era in which they lived. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

86% To Walk Invisible: The Bronte Sister (2017) Except for a jarring (and a bit cheesy) coda, To Walk Invisible immerses us in the Brontës' world, from the wide moors and lowering gray skies to the interiors shot in a claustrophobic replica of their house. - Village Voice EDIT

3.5/4 88% Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) The human element is never overshadowed by the flashy stuff. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

90% Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) It's Lupin, with his shabby dignity and tender concern for Harry, who's the emotional counterweight to the teenager's sadness and anger, and Thewlis brings great warmth to his father-figure role. - Boston Phoenix EDIT

89% The King of Comedy (1983) It's Martin Scorsese's second least popular movie, after The Last Temptation of Christ. Which is a shame, because it's Scorsese's second greatest film, after Taxi Driver. - Salon.com EDIT

66% The X-Files - Fight the Future (1998) It's a two-hour episode of the show, except with better production values and a nicer wardrobe for Scully. - Salon.com EDIT
