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

Fresh	Fresh 100%	Sidekick (2008)	" The performances are solid, with Mucci and Ingram forming a great didactic duo." — EDGE Boston Posted Jun 23, 2008
Fresh B-	Fresh 89%	Kung Fu Panda (2008)	" Wisely, directors Mark Osborne, DreamWorks vet John Stephenson and their quartet of scribes avoid all the pop culture anachronisms that might quickly date the movie (and really, was a "Matrix" spoof ever really funny?)." — EDGE Boston Posted Jun 5, 2008
Fresh B	Fresh 98%	Surfwise (2008)	" HDNet's portrait of a boarding family catches that wave and rides it all the way to shore (and yes, we used a surfing metaphor in a shameless attempt to become more blurbworthy)." — EDGE Boston Posted May 23, 2008
Fresh B	Fresh 66%	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	" Here, though, all the silly talking creatures are endearing, and mee-sa no want-sa roast-an any of them on a spit like I did that asinine, decerebrated Stepin Fetchit, Jar-Jar Binks." — EDGE Boston Posted May 22, 2008
Rotten C-	N/A	Square Pegs - The Complete Series ()	" Some things are better left a memory, as most people who have recently seen this mercifully short-lived TV series from 1982 (after they like, y'know, totally freaked out over its decades-long lack of any kind of home video release) will tell you." — EDGE Boston Posted May 22, 2008
Rotten C	Rotten 46%	Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? (2007)	" Critic-proof, many-hatted Tyler Perry has done it again: delivered an overreaching and overexpositional melodrama that opened at No. 1." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Oct 18, 2007
Rotten C	Rotten 26%	The Final Season (2007)	" *Sports more baseball clich�s than Scarface* had swearwords.*" — Christian Science Monitor* Posted Oct 11, 2007
Rotten C-	Rotten 13%	The Seeker (2007)	" Walden Media's success at making the worlds of Narnia and Terabithia feel real on screen does not translate into the same magic in adapting Susan Cooper's series of young-adult fantasy novels." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Oct 4, 2007
Fresh A-	Fresh 79%	The Rape Of Europa (2007)	" Hitler's methodical plan to plunder and destroy Europe's great works of art gets lush treatment in this comprehensive documentary." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Oct 4, 2007
Rotten C	Rotten 5%	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	" Tony-winner Dan Fogler, as Cook's childhood friend, is embarrassingly foul, and even criminally cute Jessica Alba is wasted, playing Cook's painfully clumsy gal pal/penguin nut in this alternately warm and ugly ball of whacks." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Sep 20, 2007
Rotten D+	Rotten 25%	Dragon Wars (2007)	" The concept here is fun -- good and evil dragons of ancient Korean legend do battle in modern-day Los Angeles -- but a lazy and amateurish script and embarrassingly hollow acting hobble it right out of the gate." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Sep 20, 2007
Rotten C	Rotten 13%	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	" Maybe the writers dwelled on some trite self-help mantra to delude themselves into thinking that the giggles that the title inspires would carry for 90 minutes." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Sep 14, 2007
Rotten C+	Fresh 67%	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	" There is not yet an expression to describe how over-the-top this hyperkinetic action comedy is, from its John Woo/Rube Goldberg inspired set pieces to its painful self-awareness of its own darned cleverness." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Sep 6, 2007
Rotten D	Rotten 16%	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	" At best, it's a five-minute late-night sketch; at worst, a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Sep 6, 2007
Rotten C-	Rotten 20%	Death Sentence (2007)	" With the subtlety of a bulldozer comes this dubiously pedigreed revenge thriller." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Aug 30, 2007
Rotten C+	Rotten 17%	The Last Legion (2007)	" This take on the Arthurian legend is flawed but watchable." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Aug 23, 2007
Fresh B	Rotten 44%	Night at the Museum (2006)	" The script by "Reno 911!" creators Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon gives hyperkinetic life to both a fantastic set and comedy legends Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Dec 21, 2006
Fresh B	Fresh 85%	Slither (2006)	" Gunn, who started off with schlockmeisters Troma Films, calls on that no-budget sensibility and lets the writing do the talking, with us doing the shrieking and most memorably, the laughing." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Mar 30, 2006
Fresh B-	Rotten 44%	She's The Man (2006)	" It leaves viewers wanting more -- if not more Bard, then at least more of its hyperkinetic, unabashed young star." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Mar 16, 2006
Rotten C+	Rotten 27%	The Shaggy Dog (2006)	" At least it is not a beast as dull as Doogal or as piddling as The Pink Panther." — Christian Science Monitor Posted Mar 9, 2006
