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

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 83%	Avatar (2009)	" Avatar is James Cameron doing what he does best – blowing things up with awesome special effects, while tying the set pieces together with a story worth telling. The king of the (sci-fi) world is back. Long live the king!" Posted Dec 18, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 18%	Love Happens (2009)	" It's a movie that suffers because it offers a glimpse at a far more interesting premise, but elects to stick to rom-com tradition. Ultimately, love does happen, and for Aniston fans that'll no doubt suffice." Posted Oct 9, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 83%	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)	" Half Blood Prince is one of his most successful adaptations to date." Posted Jul 17, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 95%	Star Trek (2009)	" This is impressive stuff. Abrams moves the plot at breathtaking speed, yet still has time to feature heroic acts from all the original show's key players." Posted May 8, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 94%	The Damned United (2009)	" Hooper's cinematic debut is a mixed affair; a visual flair that perfectly encapsulates the period is blessed with some wonderful editing that tells the story from a dramatic, rather than sporting point of view." Posted Mar 28, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Gran Torino (2008)	" Clint's performance will live in the memory but the movie lacks the nerve to truly address the issues it raises. Gran Torino it may be, but it really needed to step up another gear." Posted Feb 19, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 31%	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	" It ticks the right boxes to be a hit - the tear jerking aspect being key to the word of mouth - but it's a movie that rarely breaks out of it's average confines." Posted Oct 10, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 68%	Pineapple Express (2008)	" As stoner comedies go, it's of a high enough grade for even Cheech & Chong themselves to put it in a Rizla and smoke it." Posted Sep 12, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 32%	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	" Slow, laborious and ponderous without ever earning the right to be, I Want To Believe is a mis-fire that threatens the franchise’s very existence. The only mystery here is, what went wrong?" Posted Aug 1, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 96%	WALL-E (2008)	" *The wit, invention and sheer charm of WALL-E* will win over anyone with a heart. And maybe, given long enough, even those without.**" Posted Jul 18, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 37%	Rambo (2008)	" It’s far from a perfect movie, and some will get too caught up in the debate over the use of such a war as the subtext for a popcorn actioner, but Stallone has delivered the movie Rambo fans would have asked for." Posted Feb 22, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 82%	Into the Wild (2007)	" Beautifully shot and perfectly acted, Into The Wild will appeal to anyone who has looked out of the office window and wondered what it’d be like to pack a bag and just start walking." Posted Nov 8, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 85%	In the Hands of the Gods (2007)	" That passion does become apparent in the movie’s surprisingly touching climax. How much input the production team had in the outcome is hard to say, but when the tears start rolling down Woody’s cheeks, it’s obvious that this was the Freestylers’ jo" Posted Sep 14, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 50%	The Legacy (2006)	" Laced with subtle comedy, Legacy is certainly an affectionate, oddball look at the lives of small town Georgians, but the meandering story, and it’s surprisingly simple pay off, is not quite satisfying enough to make it all worthwhile." Posted Sep 14, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Breach (2007)	" Breach rarely treads new ground, but the set pieces are used so sparingly and with such focus on the central characters, the movie reaches a degree of tension you might not think possible." Posted Aug 31, 2007
