Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten 2/5	Rotten 20%	Three and Out (2008)	" Rare winning moments aside, Three and Out is unconvincing, uneven and unfunny: a severe points failure." Posted Apr 25, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 38%	Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)	" Despite the skilful and evocative photography, the strong cast seem to misfire against the imbalanced structure and clashing styles." Posted Apr 18, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 75%	Paranoid Park (2008)	" Artily composed, highly subjective and light on plot - it's still a long way from the mainstream, but well-built suspense and an instinctive feel for teen and skate life keep things ticking over until the paranoia peters out." Posted Dec 25, 2007
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 80%	The Sacrifice (1986)	" A difficult film - slow-paced, unashamedly theatrical and heavily laden with philosophy � yet a profoundly satifying one: a rewarding display of filmmaking mastery that forms a mystical and enigmatic coda to a legendary career." Posted Dec 7, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Tough Enough (2006)	" Detached, muted colours, a swirling soundtrack and a well-tuned script lend polish to the grimy urban location." Posted Sep 18, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 62%	Them (2007)	" 77 minutes of gloriously sustained tension." Posted Jul 14, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 100%	The City of Violence (2006)	" There's not much below the surface, and it does take time to get up to speed, but the jovial, high-energy approach and the endless charisma and athleticism of the leads makes for a superior slice of high-kicking entertainment." Posted Jun 8, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 68%	Lights In The Dusk (2007)	" It all sounds brutally miserable, but a spry comic flicker, and Koistinen's dim but undying hope keep things surprisingly light, while brilliantly efficient storytelling gives the human tale almost all of the short 77 minutes to unfurl." Posted Apr 10, 2007
Rotten 3/5	Fresh 82%	Days of Glory (2006)	" Its message is dimmed by a procession of war and race movie clich�s that even the excellent cast and epic cinematography cannot revive." Posted Apr 3, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 39%	Goal II: Living the Dream (2008)	" Ultimately, this is relegation fodder from start to finish." Posted Feb 9, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 62%	Them (2007)	" 77 minutes of gloriously sustained tension." Posted Jan 26, 2007
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 95%	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	" *Dark, dreamlike and dangerous, Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth* is a fairytale every bit as scary and moving as they were always meant to be.**" Posted Nov 28, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 54%	The Protector (2006)	" Pure, dazzling, entertainment." Posted Aug 1, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 23%	Seven Swords (2005)	" Battle, romance, mysticism; it sounds great. It isn't." Posted Feb 22, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 81%	Serenity (2005)	" A gently intelligent action sci-fi with wit, drama, and emotion to spare, this is the blockbuster you've been waiting for all year." Posted Oct 8, 2005
Rotten 3/5	Fresh 85%	Howl's Moving Castle (2005)	" Youngsters and Miyazaki fans will coo at the world's depth and rich surreality, but opaque plotting, and a tendency to mope with Sophie whilst Howl is off affecting events let the momentum of the first act vanish into thin air." Posted Sep 18, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 59%	Last Days (2005)	" While undeniably beautiful, it carries little more than the obvious voyeuristic appeal." Posted Aug 30, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 75%	Twin Sisters (2002)	" Sweeping, stately and accomplished." Posted May 10, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 43%	Three Dancing Slaves (2005)	" A loving, photographic study of beautiful, bored, alienated masculinity." Posted May 10, 2005
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 12%	Ma Mere (2005)	" The philosophising feels bolted on and the motivations of all the characters soon become simply too alien to comprehend." Posted Apr 9, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 90%	Duck Season (2006)	" *Despite its tiny canvas, Duck Season* soars with all the profundity and inanity of teenage life; the tenderness, the isolation, and the doomed joy of its innocent irresponsibility.**" Posted Mar 29, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 91%	Shaolin Soccer (2002)	" Funny and warm." Posted Oct 30, 2004
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 93%	Super Size Me (2004)	" A wonderful achievement -- entertaining, engrossing, and never far from grossing out." Posted Aug 24, 2004
