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

—	Fresh 68%	Pineapple Express (2008)	" *Critics Consensus: Pineapple Express* is Tasty**" Posted Aug 6, 2008
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 67%	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	" If A Scanner Darkly doesn't match Waking Life's wonderfully fluid meditation on the nature of existence, it's still a remarkable visual experience and an involving drama -- albeit one that takes a while to wrap your head around." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 73%	V For Vendetta (2005)	" *In all, V for Vendetta* is a provocative film, not least because it's sometimes unclear what reactions it should be provoking.**" Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 88%	Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2007)	" This is an informative film about an important issue." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 100%	LOL (2006)	" It has some sly laughs (and a few wrenching moments, including one distressed voicemail message) and a sharp ear for how people (awkwardly) communicate." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Rotten 3/10	Rotten 21%	The Oh in Ohio (2006)	" *Like the Cleveland Indians in the playoffs, The OH in Ohio* is a missed opportunity.**" Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 10/10	Rotten 55%	The King (2006)	" *There isn't a scene in The King* that doesn't work, and it all adds up to something rare: a film that doesn't cheat, and that may turn off some but will leave others, ahem, all shook up.**" Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 70%	Friends With Money (2006)	" This a rare film about social status in which the bourgeoisie is seen in three dimensions, with discreet charm." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 7/10	N/A	Beyond Beats and Rhymes: A Hip-Hop Head Weighs in on Manhood in Hip-Hop Culture (2006)	" *The film never feels simply like an accusatory diatribe; it's a sincere examination of the most important pop music of our time. Beyond Beats and Rhymes* is rap food for thought.**" Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 8/10	N/A	Son of Man (2006)	" The movie is a mix of gritty realism and fable, and director Mark Dornford-May finds many ways to place the story in a contemporary setting." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 72%	American Hardcore (2006)	" About as definitive a chronicle of American punk as we're likely to get." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 75%	Factotum (2006)	" A wry examination of quiet desperation, the film boasts rich performances and a nice topographical map of skid row." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 7/10	Rotten 0%	Open Window (2005)	" A solid drama about how a traumatic incident affects a once-joyous relationship." Posted Oct 10, 2006
Fresh 6/10	Fresh 67%	Pixies - LoudQUIETLoud: A Film About the Pixies (2006)	" Filmmakers Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin capture concert performances so powerful, so joyful, that most objections can be overlooked." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 86%	Thank You For Smoking (2006)	" A comedy for our troubled, intensely partisan times" Posted Oct 9, 2006
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 36%	Art School Confidential (2006)	" The film has its share of pleasures, particularly as a wry satire of how arbitrarily the art world selects its favorites for reasons that can have little to do with the art itself." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 69%	The Science of Sleep (2006)	" Equally fanciful and haunting." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 90%	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	" The film builds to a stunningly funny climax, one that is a moment of familial growth without an ounce of schmaltz." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Rotten 4/10	Rotten 25%	The Darwin Awards (2006)	" The visual representation of gruesome death makes this black comedy a bit hard to stomach." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Fresh 10/10	Fresh 87%	The Proposition (2006)	" One of the wildest and bloodiest odysseys in recent cinema." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Rotten 4/10	Rotten 43%	Battle in Heaven (2006)	" *Visually arresting but dramatically inert, Battle in Heaven* is the very definition of a difficult film. The question is whether such difficulty is ultimately rewarding.**" Posted Oct 9, 2006
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 91%	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	" The best comedians are remarkable for their ability to express things that most people wouldn't dare say. What separates Cohen is his ability to get these people to speak the words themselves, uncensored." Posted Oct 9, 2006
Rotten 5/10	Fresh 71%	Infamous (2006)	" *Truman Capote is good company, and for much of Infamous' running time, that's enough to hold our attention.*" Posted Sep 25, 2006
Rotten 3/10	Rotten 37%	Death of a President (2006)	" D.O.A.P. leaves an ugly aftertaste." Posted Sep 25, 2006
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 89%	Rescue Dawn (2007)	" ... another triumph for the great German director." Posted Sep 25, 2006
