Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
3/5	95%	Captain Phillips (2013)	" How much better it could have been with a less strict, by the book approach?" — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 11, 2013
1.5/5	10%	Runner Runner (2013)	" Feels like it was made by people who saw Wall Street and Rounders and thought they were just too damn exciting. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 4, 2013
4/5	68%	Elysium (2013)	" Damon once again shows why he is one of the best lead actors we have." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 3, 2013
2/5	30%	Kick-Ass 2 (2013)	" Maybe we should have left this franchise where it started." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 3, 2013
4.5/5	81%	Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013)	" Armed with blistering performances, an engaging narrative and some stunning cinematography and direction, it may very well end up being one of the best of the year" — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 3, 2013
2/5	40%	All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2013)	" Levine's skills can't completely transform what is a severely underwhelming script. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 3, 2013
4.5/5	81%	Prisoners (2013)	" It's rare to find a film that really works on all levels, but that's exactly what Denis Villeneuve's has constructed with Prisoners." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 3, 2013
3.5/5	63%	Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)	" As a sequel, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 doesn't fully stack up to the original, but it's impressive just how close it actually gets. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 2, 2013
2/5	60%	Riddick (2013)	" Part of me wants to support this franchise on the grounds of how rare it is for an original science-fiction concept to get a full trilogy of theater-released feature films, but Riddick makes that damn near impossible. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Sep 4, 2013
2/5	14%	The Smurfs 2 (2013)	" Much like the first movie, The Smurfs 2 is exclusively filled with humor targeted at the very youngest members of the audience, leaving grown-ups no option other than to cover their faces with their palms and shake their heads." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jul 31, 2013
3/5	69%	The Wolverine (2013)	" The movie may not fully deliver on many of its themes, but it does hit squarely on the man vs. beast battle that exists within Logan. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jul 24, 2013
2/5	75%	Despicable Me 2 (2013)	" Despicable Me 2 feels more like a first draft than a final product. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jul 3, 2013
4/5	56%	Man of Steel (2013)	" It's realistic in approach and honest in emotion, but also wonderfully fantastical and cinematic. The future is bright for the Man of Tomorrow." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jun 10, 2013
3.5/5	75%	The East (2013)	" ...while the movie's plot isn't wholly original, it's the filmmaker's approach and the story's outcome that makes the movie worthwhile." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jun 5, 2013
4/5	84%	This Is the End (2013)	" It's hard to imagine that a funnier movie will come out this year." — CinemaBlend.com Posted May 31, 2013
4.5/5	79%	Iron Man 3 (2013)	" It embraces the universe it lives in without exploiting it or letting it weigh down the story, and offers its hero a personal, dangerous challenge without ever losing its popcorn charm." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Apr 25, 2013
3/5	49%	Pain & Gain (2013)	" The final product is a mixed bag and you may not like yourself for being entertained by it, but at least it's original." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Apr 23, 2013
3.5/5	69%	Trance (2013)	" If it were any other director at the helm of Trance it would be a more impressive film, but instead it's one of Boyle's more mediocre efforts." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Apr 3, 2013
3/5	28%	G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)	" Buy a ticket, enjoy watching ninjas on zip lines and The Rock kicking ass, and when the lights go up try to avoid thinking about it on any deeper level. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Mar 28, 2013
4/5	59%	Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)	" An entertaining family movie, a true Sam Raimi film, and a fun return to a merry old land. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Mar 7, 2013
5/5	69%	Stoker (2013)	" If this is what Park Chan-wook can bring to the American film world, then hopefully he will stay for a very long time. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Feb 28, 2013
4.5/5	81%	Warm Bodies (2013)	" One of the most refreshingly creative zombie movies in recent memory. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jan 31, 2013
4/5	88%	Django Unchained (2012)	" Even as one of his weaker efforts, Django Unchained still ranks higher than most of what comes out over the course of a year." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Dec 12, 2012
2/5	12%	Red Dawn (2012)	" There's no point in remaking a film unless you can improve upon the execution of an original idea and/or reform an old idea and make it apply to the now; Red Dawn doesn't bother to do either. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Nov 20, 2012
2/5	49%	The Man With the Iron Fists (2012)	" he film does have some interesting choreography and the props department outdid themselves when it came to weapons, but the only reason to focus in on that stuff is because the rest of the movie is so unimpressive. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Nov 11, 2012
4/5	92%	Skyfall (2012)	" With his film Mendes not only resurrects 007, but makes the character's defining trademarks make more sense in a modern world" — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 28, 2012
2.5/5	63%	Sinister (2012)	" Slow down the number of demonic spirit movies, start thinking twice before settling on the "kids are scary" idea again, and start coming up with something new. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 28, 2012
2/5	34%	Butter (2012)	" Butter has strong moments and has more than a few good jokes, but as a whole it struggles to keep its footing" — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 28, 2012
5/5	83%	Seven Psychopaths (2012)	" I procrastinate because I care and because writing reviews of movies you love is hard. And I really loved Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 28, 2012
1/5	12%	Alex Cross (2012)	" Alex Cross is a total trainwreck. You'd think it would be hard to mess up something as simple as a cop vs. killer story this badly, but Cohen and his crew seem to screw it up at every turn. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Oct 28, 2012
1.5/5	51%	Trouble with the Curve (2012)	" As fresh as a twelfth inning ballpark hot dog and half as entertaining. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Sep 21, 2012
4.5/5	85%	End of Watch (2012)	" Intense, gripping, funny, and absolutely fantastic. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Sep 21, 2012
1.5/5	39%	The Possession (2012)	" I'm certain that there are still creative, interesting stories to be told based around the idea of demonic possession, but this one can barely be considered an effort." — CinemaBlend.com Posted Aug 29, 2012
4/5	55%	People Like Us (2012)	" A serious drama about hidden truths and family, the film works hard to earn its emotional depth and thanks to a compelling story, well-drawn characters, and terrific performances it succeeds. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jun 27, 2012
4/5	68%	Ted (2012)	" The film has one of the most bizarre dick joke to earnestness ratios ever, but strangely it all works and is, most importantly, hilarious. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jun 27, 2012
3/5	41%	Rock of Ages (2012)	" It's overdone and chock full of dumb, but if approached with the proper mindset it could end up being one of the better surprises of the summer. " — CinemaBlend.com Posted Jun 15, 2012
