Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
4/5 81% Prisoners (2013) " A dark, foreboding and riveting thriller, that will leave many spun by its labyrinth plot, spellbound by its strong performances and haunted by its many moral and religious complexities." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Oct 25, 2013
4/5 94% Captain Phillips (2013) " Captain Phillips is the best kind of emotionally charged filmmaking: it will thrill, it will engross and it will move you to reach out to those you love and embrace them. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Oct 14, 2013
3/5 64% 2 Guns (2013) " The first pairing of Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington (two charismatic actors of different styles) and the entertaining, quote heavy screenplay from Blake Masters makes it work so well." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Oct 14, 2013
2.5/5 78% Metallica Through the Never (2013) " If Through the Never was a straight ahead concert film it would be a masterpiece of heavy metal showmanship. Yet this is a two headed beast, with one side charging forward while the other is sitting lame in a state of morose confusion. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Oct 14, 2013
3.5/5 97% Gravity (2013) " A space odyssey the likes of which has never been seen, yet let down by a script that is not as refined as its wondrous special effects." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Oct 1, 2013
4/5 88% Rush (2013) " With Rush, Howard has not only made one of his best films but has also proven that the combination of car racing and movie need not be a lemon. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Oct 1, 2013
3.5/5 69% The Wolverine (2013) " An antithesis to recent overblown blockbusters, The Wolverine contains a strong story that delves into the many complexities of the popular comic book character without sacrificing the action spectacle that these films are known for." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jul 19, 2013
3/5 41% Parker (2013) " A little more energy behind the camera and a different leading lady and Parker could have been something great. As it stands it's a treat for Statham fans only." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jul 18, 2013
4/5 89% The World's End (2013) " Classic sci-fi tropes blend with rambunctious fight choreography along with a witty and touching story about letting go of the past while fighting for the now." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jul 16, 2013
4/5 87% The Conjuring (2013) " Wan's hair raising methodical pace steers us through a supernatural thriller drenched in tension, and featuring scenes of horror that will sear itself in the mind and come back to haunt you in your nightmares." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jul 16, 2013
4/5 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " Countless times audiences have seen mass destruction Hollywood style, but rarely do the characters match the strength of the special effects and Pacific Rim features the year's best." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jul 9, 2013
2.5/5 31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " Perplexes as much as it entertains with a strong left of centre ideology clashing with the conservative roots of its action western genre." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 30, 2013
3/5 64% Zoolander (2001) " About as dumb as dumb comedies can get, Zoolander suffers from a weak plot and even weaker characters, yet the performances by Stiller, Wilson and the extremely funny Will Ferrell more than make up for it." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 28, 2013
2.5/5 56% Man of Steel (2013) " Man of Steel fails to get off the ground, with Snyder's overblown display of style smothering the many interesting moments that delve into the man behind the red cape." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 25, 2013
4/5 69% Stoker (2013) " Stoker has the kind of script that would have made Hitchcock giddy at the knees as murder, suppressed sexuality and dense mystery whirls into a thick fog of suspicion and intrigue. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 25, 2013
3/5 66% The Heat (2013) " A script riddled with buddy cop clichés is saved by the fun dynamic between Bullock and McCarthy. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 25, 2013
4/5 85% The Way Way Back (2013) " A strong ensemble cast deliver exceptionally fine performances, taking to Faxon and Rash's script like the scrumptious made for thespian buffet that it is. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 24, 2013
4/5 98% Before Midnight (2013) " Linklater and his players bring an end to the fantasy and welcome the thrilling ups and bitter downs of reality to this love story." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 24, 2013
4/5 60% The Bling Ring (2013) " A stylish and relevant look at how the idolatry of celebrity begat a special breed of brat, whose belief that to live like the kings and queens of materialism is to steal from their palaces." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 24, 2013
3.5/5 67% The Iceman (2013) " The Iceman rests on the power of one hell of a performance from Shannon, with this monster of an actor playing a monster of a man with frightening intensity. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 24, 2013
4/5 98% Mud (2013) " Mud is a moving exploration into the nature of manhood, with superb performances, striking location and engrossing story creating a mesmerising and heartfelt coming of age drama." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 20, 2013
2/5 40% Only God Forgives (2013) " The excessive violence which is presented here feels especially shallow, with the films suffocating atmosphere and one note characters robbing these acts of butchery of much needed emotion. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 19, 2013
4/5 67% World War Z (2013) " Marc Foster brings a perfect balance to all of the elements found in World War Z. It's scary yet not in a manipulative way, grim yet never overbearing in its bleakness, and juggles the intimate with the epic." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 17, 2013
1.5/5 11% After Earth (2013) " It is ironic that a film about a son following the legacy of his father has seen the Smith family shoot themselves in the foot in their second outing as a collective. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 17, 2013
4/5 75% Despicable Me 2 (2013) " Directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud know what works in this Looney Toons meets Pixar universe, with vibrant colours, memorable characters and slapstick comedy wonderfully meshing together." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 16, 2013
3.5/5 78% Monsters University (2013) " Continues Pixar's tradition of hearty laughs and character rich stories, yet cannot contend with the mighty weight of high expectations brought on by its superior original." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 12, 2013
4/5 70% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " Director Justin Lin once again ups the ante as cars, motorbikes, tanks and even planes roar across the screen in dazzling displays of stunt choreography." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 11, 2013
4/5 63% Sinister (2012) " One of the more authentically scary horror thrillers to haunt the screen in some time, a product of smart filmmaking, intriguing premise and a great lead performance from Ethan Hawke. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 11, 2013
2.5/5 54% Lovelace (2013) " Fine performances and sharp attention to period detail are not enough to save Lovelace from the doldrums of mediocre biopic filmmaking." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 5, 2013
3/5 35% The Internship (2013) " Released during an especially lacklustre year in American comedy, The Internship breaks the trend by actually being funny. Not in any way a ground breaker, but better than most." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jun 4, 2013
2.5/5 19% The Hangover Part III (2013) " Hangover's are quite seedy things, but nothing compared to the grotesque experience of a one note joke trapped in a never ending cycle. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted May 23, 2013
2.5/5 79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " A regression in the usual strong work from Marvel Studios, Iron Man 3 suffers from director Shane Black's mishandling of this popular superhero character. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted May 23, 2013
3.5/5 54% Oblivion (2013) " It isn't by any means a game changer, but it has the performances, the story and especially the look to make a trip to the cinema worth it." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Apr 12, 2013
2/5 8% The Host (2013) " Like everything else brand Stephenie Meyer, The Host is a mostly empty, dull and underwhelming genre re-hash. Here's praying that poor box office makes it the last of its kind." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Mar 26, 2013
3.5/5 59% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " While Judy Garland sang "Over the Rainbow" this is Sam Raimi taking us to the dark side of the rainbow and parents be warned: your wee ones will get nightmares of the winged-baboon variety." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 28, 2013
4/5 87% Arbitrage (2012) " Ethically driven storytelling at its best with an outstanding Richard Gere delivering one of his best performances." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 17, 2013
4.5/5 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " It's quite remarkable how Bigelow and Boal managed to take 12 years of information (including a conclusion that everyone knows) and packaged it into a coherent, intimate and intense movie. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 10, 2013
4/5 78% Flight (2012) " In John Gatin's script not only have Robert Zemeckis and Denzel Waashington found an outlet to profess their spirituality, but they also deliver some of their best work. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 7, 2013
2/5 15% Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) " A ho-hum example of not only style over substance, but also over any redeeming entertainment value, bar watching Renner think to himself, "What the hell am I doing here? I've got two Oscar nominations!"" — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 6, 2013
4/5 81% The Impossible (2012) " The Impossible reminds that no matter the odds, human kind has the potential to rise above adversity no matter how great, for the human spirit knows no bounds." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 24, 2013
3/5 63% Hitchcock (2012) " Hitchcock is a film that constantly proclaims its importance but never lives up to it with a light, almost comical tone clashing against the myth of Hitchcock as a talented albeit troubled mind." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 24, 2013
— 72% Fracture (2007) — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 22, 2013
2/5 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " The first big film of 2013 has the potential to be its most disappointing, with Gangster Squad a major fumble for director Ruben Fleischer who wastes an all-star cast and sure fire premise." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 7, 2013
4/5 88% Django Unchained (2012) " Quentin Tarantino sets his sights on the spaghetti western and delivers on the talky, ultra-violent bombast expected of him in the entertaining and confronting Django Unchained." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 4, 2013
4.5/5 65% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " A marvel of filmmaking wizardry and engrossing adventure storytelling, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey marks another triumph by director Peter Jackson who once again takes J.R. Tolkien's words and brings them to life with skilful, passionate expertise." — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Dec 30, 2012
4/5 92% Silver Linings Playbook (2012) " A delightfully dysfunctional romantic comedy that's moving, funny and features just the right amount of crazy love. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Dec 25, 2012
2/5 52% This is 40 (2012) " An endurance test of mistrust, stress and simmering bitterness, layered by the type of crass humour that is unbecoming of Apatow's age. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Dec 18, 2012
4/5 70% Les Misérables (2012) " Hooper gives us a one of a kind, immersive cinema experience that is a feast for the eyes, ears and the heart. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Dec 13, 2012
4/5 61% Jack Reacher (2012) " That Tom Cruise intensity fuels a refreshingly old school, stylish and brutally violent murder mystery. " — Matt's Movie Reviews
Posted Dec 10, 2012
4/5 92% Skyfall (2012) " Sam Mendes has done a magnificent job, creating both a relevant and timeless entry into the Bond canon, while deftly adding homages to the series' past." — Matt's Movie Reviews
