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

Fresh	Fresh 61%	Peter and Vandy (2009)	" Whenever a romance flick aspires to be more than stupid sex gags and over-the-top waterworks, then that's when I'll advise you to stand in line for a ticket." Posted Oct 12, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 71%	Youth in Revolt (2010)	" *As a huge fan of the source material, I have to say this is as good of a big-screen adaptation as you're going to get from Youth in Revolt.*" Posted Sep 16, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)	" One of the best documentaries I have ever watched in my entire life." Posted Oct 18, 2008
—	Rotten 57%	Trucker (2009)	" It's still a performance you don't want a miss. Michelle Monaghan is memorable." Posted Oct 18, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 21%	Righteous Kill (2008)	" This isn't the De Niro and Pacino of old ... it is, unfortunately, the older De Niro and Pacino." Posted Sep 12, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 19%	The Clone Wars (2008)	" If Star Wars: The Clone Wars were a simple board game stacked up in a toy store aisle, the side of the box would read: "Ages 7 through Check Your Star Wars Ego at the Door."" Posted Aug 15, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 96%	WALL-E (2008)	" A beautiful sci-fi tale complete with all the feel-good vibes and fantastic, cutting-edge visuals we've come to expect from a film wearing the Pixar name." Posted Jun 26, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 43%	Finding Amanda (2008)	" ... they should've renamed this one Finding the Right Tone." Posted May 15, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 69%	The Wackness (2008)	" Finally, a film for kids of the 90's!" Posted May 12, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Bart Got a Room (2009)	" It's alive, it's colorful, it's got well-written characters and more than a handful of memorable scenes" Posted May 9, 2008
Rotten	N/A	Ball Don't Lie (2009)	" *Had Ball Don't Lie* gone the straight linear route and changed the story so that our main character was actually working toward a concrete goal, perhaps the film would've shined.**" Posted May 1, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 54%	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	" The HIGHly-anticipated sequel to 2004's Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle comes just how you'd expect it: raunchy, wild, disgusting and completely absurd." Posted Apr 9, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 83%	Nights and Weekends (2008)	" Nights and Weekends marks writer-director Joe Swanberg's fourth consecutive film at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and it's quite possibly his strongest work yet." Posted Apr 9, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 83%	A Necessary Death (2008)	" As much as it doesn't seem like you're watching an intricate plot unfold, there's actually so much going on -- all of it layered; structured brilliantly." Posted Apr 9, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 57%	Super High Me (2008)	" Super High Me is nowhere near the smartest or most thought-provoking documentary you will ever see, but it certainly delivers enough humor to keep even the non-stoners chuckling for an hour and a half." Posted Apr 8, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 89%	Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)	" Is Polanski a great filmmaker who made a mistake, or a perverted coward who ran from the law instead of facing the music?" Posted Feb 1, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 56%	A Complete History of My Sexual Failures (2008)	" Sexual Failures is edited well, the score is great and while certain scenes feel a bit staged, Waitt is immediately likable and a ball to watch on the big screen." Posted Feb 1, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 24%	Incendiary (2008)	" Williams is magnificent in her role -- though they beat the living hell out of her, to a point where it almost becomes ridiculous." Posted Feb 1, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 54%	Choke (2008)	" Ultimately, Choke is really a film for the Palahniuk fans who've have been waiting years to see this book come to life." Posted Feb 1, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 18%	Downloading Nancy (2008)	" Downloading Nancy is a sick and twisted rollercoaster ride that climbs fast and drops slowly ... leaving you plenty of time to absorb its raw insanity along the way." Posted Feb 1, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 86%	The Yellow Handkerchief (2010)	" Yellow Handkerchief is just another quiet character piece that may make its way to theaters in limited release, but won't cause any waves." Posted Feb 1, 2008
—	N/A	Purple Violets (2007)	Click here to read article Posted Dec 1, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 51%	Bee Movie (2007)	" Here's the biggest problem most folks will have with Bee Movie: It's not Ratatouille." Posted Nov 2, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	" At 83 years-old, Lumet still manages to deliver this film in a captivating, edge-of-your-seat fashion." Posted Oct 26, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 94%	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	" It doesn't appear to have enough juice to land a best picture Oscar nod, but it definitely has enough taste to linger in your mouth, heart and mind for a long time to come." Posted Oct 26, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 67%	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	" The first thing my friend said to me as the credits began to roll: "Loved it ... but the film won't make a dime at the box office."" Posted Sep 27, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 16%	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	" In real life, if you met John (Arnett) and Dean Solomon (Will Forte), you'd probably walk away thinking they were either suffering from some mental disorder or serial killers in training." Posted Sep 8, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 87%	Superbad (2007)	" Jonah Hill and Michael Cera displayed some of the best on-screen chemistry I've seen all year, and newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse squeezed his shtick in there at just the right moments." Posted Aug 18, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 20%	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	" As it is now, it's just a messy plate of leftovers fancied up to include the number three in the title." Posted Aug 11, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 84%	Rocket Science (2007)	" It's fun to watch an outsider try to succeed in a world full of outsiders, and for that reason alone, Rocket Science is worth the price of admission." Posted Aug 11, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 90%	The Simpsons Movie (2007)	" If you don't have the urge to stand up and cheer as the end credits begin to roll, then you are not who this movie was created for." Posted Jul 27, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 13%	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	" While it might be enough to make you laugh -- like with the majority of his films -- it's far from memorable." Posted Jul 20, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 53%	Introducing The Dwights (2007)	" It's sweet, quirky, sincere, and provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of those big-budgeted extravaganzas currently invading your local theater." Posted Jul 4, 2007
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 7%	License To Wed (2007)	" Do they have what it takes to keep it cool and stay together long enough to get hitched? Trust me, you won't care." Posted Jul 3, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 81%	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	" Welcome to the new millennium John McClane, where the portions are huge but the quality isn't what it used to be." Posted Jun 27, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 90%	Knocked Up (2007)	" We often feel like our hopes and dreams are over once a child enters the equation, but it's movies like this that help remind us it's only the beginning." Posted Jun 26, 2007
N/A	Rotten 54%	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	" Charlie Bartlett director Jon Poll and Star Anton Yelchin." Posted Jun 26, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 54%	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	" Here's a film that carries a heavy message about the mis-use of prescription medication amongst today's teens, but does so in a very clever (and fun) way." Posted Jun 26, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 41%	Shrek the Third (2007)	" Vibrant colors and finely-crafted backdrops pave the way for characters who, believe it or not, felt more alive in this world than they did back in those old books or cartoons." Posted Jun 26, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 37%	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	" It's PG-rated summer popcorn fluff at its best, and while the new additions might irritate the hardcore FF fanatics, those simply looking for a check-your-brain-at-the-door night out at the movies will certainly surf away satisfied." Posted Jun 26, 2007
