	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
82/100	73%	Syriana (2005)	Takes the risk of losing its audience by interweaving four different storylines. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 11, 2005
71/100	82%	Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)	Even if it's not wholly faithful, this incarnation does the book justice and certainly outshines the 1971 musical. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 8, 2005
78/100	61%	Jarhead (2005)	Jake Gyllenhaal turns in a solid performance. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 6, 2005
77/100	36%	Must Love Dogs (2005)	I like the characters and the story but find that the film just doesn't go the distance in some areas. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 29, 2005
76/100	46%	Constantine (2005)	A riveting piece of suspense and action, and one of the strongest horror films in recent memory. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 17, 2005
45/100	1%	Alone in the Dark (2005)	There is a reason to fear being alone in the dark: it's this movie. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 28, 2005
77/100	92%	Vera Drake (2004)	Imelda Staunton does an excellent job in the title role. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 9, 2004
71/100	92%	Shaun of the Dead (2004)	While there are laughs and inspired moments, the comedic aspect almost disappears at the height of the movie, in favour of the goriest events I can remember in recent cinema. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 23, 2004
52/100	20%	Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)	Not ingenious by any stretch - the dialogue has moments of being undercooked and times where it's pared too close to the bone to leave more room for action. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 10, 2004
68/100	54%	Troy (2004)	As memorable and fulfilling as a good bag of movie popcorn. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted May 14, 2004
67/100	11%	New York Minute (2004)	The further you are from being a teenage girl, the less likely this movie is going to appeal to you. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted May 7, 2004
73/100	84%	Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)	An over-long exercise in resolution, denouement and style. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 16, 2004
52/100	4%	The Whole Ten Yards (2003)	The only thing to keep this effort from sinking completely, like a snitch with cement shoes, is Kevin Pollack's broad portrayal. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 8, 2004
84/100	81%	The Defiant Ones (1958)	Given the era of this movie, it was a controversial topic and a theme that Kramer handles courageously. He does a good job of showcasing Poitier and Curtis in their prime and the film's Oscar-winning cinematography is crisp and outstanding. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 16, 2004
27/100	20%	Wes Craven Presents: Carnival of Souls (1998)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 16, 2004

62/100	82%	Drunken Master (Jui kuen) (1978)	From the viewpoint of tracking Jackie Chan's career, this movie is a milestone. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 16, 2004
64/100	No Score Yet		- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 16, 2004
82/100	75%	This Is My Father (1999)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 16, 2004
61/100	23%	Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004)	Its lack of punch and its simmering sexuality make it ideal for the pre-teen girl squad set; it's lightweight fare even by musical standards. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 26, 2004
80/100	82%	The Barbarian Invasions (Les Invasions barbares) (2003)	Its personal and intimate moments are profound; they transcend cultural boundaries with the capacity to touch anyone. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 27, 2003
66/100	No Score Yet	Convergence (Premonition) (1999)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 9, 2003
58/100	No Score Yet		Mediocre Star Trek and average television. Short of an obsessed need for an unbroken record of the series on DVD, season two is easy to avoid. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 29, 2003
64/100	No Score Yet		Drunk with success, it seemed like the producers forgot something important by season five: good stories make for a good series. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 29, 2003
63/100	36%	The Matrix Revolutions (2003)	The first 20-minutes is an undefined mish-mash of recap, followed by some action that pales in comparison with the previous films. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 3, 2003
81/100	84%	The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966)	At the foundation of this movie is a great script. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 5, 2003
43/100	56%	Cleopatra (1963)	The movie is also dotted with some battle sequences of nearly epic proportions, but they can't make up for Cleopatra's shortcomings in plot and acting. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 20, 2003
72/100	83%	The Personals (2001)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 20, 2003
62/100	27%	Analyze That (2002)	Remove the distractions and leaden moments and you probably have just enough humour left to make a 30-minute Tuesday night sitcom. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 7, 2002
72/100	77%	Comedian (2002)	Provides terrific insight into the world of the stand-up comedian. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 2, 2002
64/100	54%	Gei ba ba de xin (My Father is a Hero) (Jet Li's The Enforcer) (1995)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 15, 2002

78/100	80%	The Business of Strangers (2001)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 21, 2002
82/100	81%	One Hour Photo (2002)	If you were left uneasy by nannies and obstetricians after 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle,' this movie will make you wonder what happens after you hand over your film, and you'll now be leery of the vest-wearing automatons at your local big box retailer. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 14, 2002
44/100	13%	Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 12, 2002
70/100	44%	Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002)	While this film has an 'A' list cast and some strong supporting players, the tale -- like its central figure, Vivi -- is just a little bit hard to love. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 5, 2002
74/100	65%	Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)	Despite some weaknesses, Attack of the Clones redeems the franchise. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted May 17, 2002
81/100	80%	Shackleton (2002)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted May 4, 2002
70/100	31%	Murder by Numbers (2002)	Largely, this is a movie that also does it by the numbers. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 20, 2002
66/100	No Score Yet	Premonition (1971)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 11, 2002
71/100	83%	Cool and Crazy (2001)	If you appreciate an intimate and real view of another culture ... then you are bound to like this movie and get a charge out of the choir singers who are innately entertaining people. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 9, 2002
74/100	86%	My Bodyguard (1980)	Twenty years after the fact, My Bodyguard holds up quite well. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 30, 2002
68/100	63%	Molokai: The Story of Father Damien (1999)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 8, 2002
69/100	63%	Der Krieger und die Kaiserin (The Princess and the Warrior) (2000)	An endurance test of overly long sequences bereft of impact. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 22, 2002
70/100	No Score Yet		- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 13, 2001
77/100	40%	In a Private Garden (1998)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2001
51/100	No Score Yet	Crocodile (2000)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 21, 2001
82/100	92%	Ed Wood (1994)	The finest example of Tim Burton's work as a director and a role that Johnny Depp will have to go a long way to better. - Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 9, 2001
44/100	77%	Werewolf of London (1935)	- Apollo Guide EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 9, 2001
