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

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Oklahoma! (1955)	" 50 years on there's still an infectious charm about Oklahoma!" Posted Nov 1, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 47%	A Few Days in September (2006)	" A Few Days in September is that rarest and most peculiar of creatures: a French arthouse action thriller." Posted Sep 14, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 86%	Small Engine Repair (2006)	" It's Glen's brilliantly understated performance of the sensitive, troubled Doug that elevates Small Engine Repair way above the competition; by the end, his small journey of quiet redemption will mean everything to you." Posted Sep 7, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 92%	Born and Bred (2006)	" A searing, wonderfully shot, and artfully understated examination of guilt and grief." Posted Aug 24, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 95%	12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)	" A funny, gentle film that understands the wearying nature of political upheaval." Posted Aug 17, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 88%	Wild Style (1982)	" The acting is stilted, and the story almost non-existent. But that isn't the point, Wild Style is a cult classic - indisputably the most important hip hop movie, ever." Posted Aug 10, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 77%	I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)	" A tragic, inspiring film." Posted Jul 31, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 46%	Macbeth (2007)	" A tacky mix of neon lights and bare skin." Posted Jul 13, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 85%	Black Gold (2006)	" True, fair trade coffee is not the newest story around, but Black Gold still makes for arresting viewing." Posted Jun 8, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 86%	Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (2008)	" A pitch-perfect, and hilarious, spoof on pop industry pretension and the biopic format." Posted Apr 27, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 53%	Sheitan (2006)	" Vincent Cassel is the overpowering presence here; his perma-grinning, unkempt Joseph is brilliantly unsettling." Posted Feb 23, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 67%	The Bridge (2006)	" despite the shocking, up-close look, we're no closer to a real understanding of the terrible urge to end it all." Posted Feb 16, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Iraq in Fragments (2006)	" Watch the evening news and you get a view of Iraq from high above the wreckage. In this fascinating doc, director James Longley shows us how things look on the ground." Posted Jan 27, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	Requiem (2006)	" A naturalistic and thrillingly powerful film, with a stand-out performance from H�ller at its centre." Posted Nov 21, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 86%	Election (2005)	" *It's a thrilling premise. What a shame, then, that Election* can't get the basics right.**" Posted Oct 28, 2006

Fresh 3/5	Rotten 45%	The Last Kiss (2006)	" This drama is a well-crafted and heartfelt look at commitment, infidelity and the end of youth." Posted Oct 17, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 27%	Tideland (2006)	" Tideland contains more shining, jewel-like moments than most films. It will reward your patience." Posted Sep 23, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 12%	The Benchwarmers (2006)	" The Benchwarmers is better than it should have been. Only, that's not saying much." Posted Jun 6, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 93%	The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)	" *Fiscuteanu's Lazarescu* is a strange, compelling creation, and if you allow it time, this haunting, artful movie will get under your skin.**" Posted Jun 6, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Deep Sea (IMAX) (2006)	" Fancy a spot of scuba diving? Without getting wet? And in the company of Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet?" Posted Mar 11, 2006
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 52%	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	" Like its leading man, this movie presents a charming fa�ade with nothing much underneath." Posted Mar 11, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 73%	Lady Vengeance (2005)	" An unsettling mix of stylish visuals, surreal fantasy, and shocking violence." Posted Feb 7, 2006
