Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
3.5/4 95% Captain Phillips (2013) " What Greengrass excels at is action - taut and visceral - and it happens as soon as the captain suddenly looks at a screen and sees two small dots moving toward the ship." — Associated Press
Posted Oct 9, 2013
4/4 98% Gravity (2013) " As the credits roll, you may find yourself thinking about real space launches you've watched, or watching man walk on the moon, and remembering that feeling of awe at how man ever developed the technology to explore space in the first place." — Associated Press
Posted Oct 2, 2013
3/4 63% Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) " Some might find these tiresome, but let's just note here that this is a kid movie, and KIDS LOVE PUNS. So they laugh at ''There's a leek in the boat.'' And they laugh even more the second time." — Associated Press
Posted Sep 26, 2013
81% Prisoners (2013) " In less talented hands, the story could lapse into the maudlin. But Villeneuve, director of the Oscar-nominated Incendies, seems to know just how far to go; only one moment feels less than authentic, but it would be a spoiler to mention it." — Associated Press
Posted Sep 24, 2013
33% The Family (2013) " [An] oddly paced, overly violent, sometimes amusing but sometimes jarringly unfunny movie." — Associated Press
Posted Sep 12, 2013
2.5/4 34% Salinger (2013) " [Salerno] took a kitchen-sink approach, and while the film moves quickly for its 120 minutes, that approach blunts its impact." — Associated Press
Posted Sep 5, 2013
1.5/4 60% Riddick (2013) " ''Sloppy'' is a kind word, actually, for the ridiculously clumsy dialogue in ''Riddick,'' the third and latest installment of the sci-fi saga." — Associated Press
Posted Sep 5, 2013
3/4 46% Closed Circuit (2013) " A smart script by Steven Knight keeps the action humming along smoothly and concisely - if sometimes, it must be said, a bit illogically." — Associated Press
Posted Aug 27, 2013
3/4 89% The World's End (2013) " "The World's End" one of those bittersweet coming-home films that show how difficult it is to really, well, go home. Because it's never the same." — Associated Press
Posted Aug 20, 2013
3.5/4 73% Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) " Daniels and company may not have made a masterpiece, but they have made a film you should see." — Associated Press
Posted Aug 13, 2013
3/4 68% Elysium (2013) " If ''Elysium'' doesn't nearly live up to ''District 9,'' it shows enough panache to leave us waiting enthusiastically for his next effort." — Associated Press
Posted Aug 6, 2013
3.5/4 91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " A pure gem of a teen romance graced with sparkling acting by its young leads, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, as high-school seniors falling awkwardly in love." — Associated Press
Posted Aug 1, 2013
2/4 64% 2 Guns (2013) " For each amusing exchange, there's a gratuitous scene that dampens the proceedings. One of the worst involves the torture of chickens." — Associated Press
Posted Aug 1, 2013
2.5/4 69% The Wolverine (2013) " At this point [Jackman] could play the role in his sleep - but he doesn't, and the nuances he and director Mangold bring to the character lift this enterprise up from the usual blockbuster-sequel fare." — Associated Press
Posted Jul 25, 2013
3.5/4 91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Is ''Blue Jasmine'' an Occupy Wall Street-era morality tale, or just a deeply absorbing character study? Either way, Allen has given us a whole lot to chew on - and a flawed heroine we'll remember for a long time." — Associated Press
Posted Jul 23, 2013
1.5/4 40% Only God Forgives (2013) " Once you get past its slick veneer, you may find yourself looking at your watch, even though it clocks in at a concise 89 minutes." — Associated Press
Posted Jul 18, 2013
2.5/4 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " Though it's made by an obviously gifted director and will likely please devotees of the genre, it ultimately feels very short on character and long on noise, noise, noise." — Associated Press
Posted Jul 10, 2013
3/4 85% The Way Way Back (2013) " It meanders a bit, it's a little lacking in structure, but it's full of small memorable moments - and you're sad when it's over." — Associated Press
Posted Jul 3, 2013
3/4 67% World War Z (2013) " Pretty much what you'd want in a summer blockbuster: scary but not-too-gross zombies, a journey to exotic locales, a few excellent action scenes, and did we mention Pitt?" — Associated Press
Posted Jun 19, 2013
3/4 60% The Bling Ring (2013) " It's obvious that Coppola knows this milieu, what these kids wear and the way they speak." — Associated Press
Posted Jun 12, 2013
2.5/4 35% The Internship (2013) " The premise, like the whole movie, is far-fetched but enjoyable." — Associated Press
Posted Jun 5, 2013
69% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " Happily, amid all the noise, the races -- there's a terrific one through the streets of downtown London -- the crashes and the outlandish stunts, there is some humor, and it's very welcome." — Associated Press
Posted May 23, 2013
3.5/4 98% Before Midnight (2013) " Not only as good as the first two, it's arguably better, tackling weightier, trickier issues - as in, mature everyday love - with wit, humor and breathtaking directness." — Associated Press
Posted May 22, 2013
2.5/4 82% Step Into Liquid (2003) " 88 minutes of watching people do something difficult, occasionally quite reckless and unquestionably beautiful." — Los Angeles Daily News
Posted Aug 9, 2003
C+ 60% Tuck Everlasting (2002) " Those with the patience to submit to its low-energy charms may find their time well spent." — Associated Press
