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

Rotten D	Fresh 91%	Gomorrah (2009)	" *A dull repeat of The Sopranos, only without any character development.*" Posted Feb 12, 2009
Rotten C+	Rotten 54%	Australia (2008)	" The beautiful locations and production values can't compensate for all the thin characters and lack of originality." Posted Nov 25, 2008
Fresh B+	Fresh 65%	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	" Just like good porn, the movie delivers scene after scene of tension and release, and you leave the theater happy. And maybe a little tired." Posted Oct 30, 2008
Rotten C+	Fresh 61%	Changeling (2008)	" The movie avoids any nuance or shading in Collins. It starts in black-and-white, and that's where it ends." Posted Oct 24, 2008
Rotten D	Fresh 60%	W. (2008)	" Whatever your political bent, we can all come together as Americans and agree on one thing: The movie just isn't very good." Posted Oct 17, 2008
Rotten C	Fresh 62%	The Express (2008)	" It's tough, admittedly, to sum up someone's life in just two hours, and even tougher when that person is as genuinely impressive as Ernie Davis. Unfortunately, this movie tries to cram it all in." Posted Oct 10, 2008
Rotten C-	Rotten 47%	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	" Director Neil LaBute struggles mightily to turn a reliable B-movie premise (maniac cop goes too far) into a deep social commentary about race, or real estate, or something, but the result is an inexplicable mess." Posted Sep 18, 2008
Fresh B+	Rotten 21%	Righteous Kill (2008)	" De Niro and Pacino hit every step so perfectly, they make even the standard cop-movie moments shine." Posted Sep 12, 2008
Rotten D	Rotten 40%	The Longshots (2008)	" Based on the real-life of Jasmine Plummer, this story ought to have all the heart and drama needed, but the onscreen version is too sloppy to even get the clich�s right." Posted Aug 22, 2008
Fresh B	Rotten 43%	Death Race (2008)	" This remake of Roger Corman's camp classic spackles enough blood and burnt rubber into the gaping plot holes it's easy to ignore them until the ride home." Posted Aug 22, 2008
Rotten C	Rotten 19%	The Clone Wars (2008)	" A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a movie that ignited imaginations and redefined adventure. It's kind of sad that this generation only gets a retread." Posted Aug 14, 2008
Fresh b	Fresh 66%	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	" Hulk smash? Let's put it like this: He uses police cars as boxing gloves. Yeah. Hulk smash." Posted Jun 12, 2008
Fresh A	Fresh 77%	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	" Fortunately, a smart script and great set pieces make this tale of Soviet spies, weird artifacts and a lost city a worthy capstone to the series." Posted May 22, 2008
Fresh a-	Fresh 68%	Redbelt (2008)	" *This scores high on the ass-kickery meter, and what could have been another generic fight film is elevated into a thinking-man's Rocky* by writer-director David Mamet.**" Posted May 1, 2008
Fresh B-	Fresh 86%	Shine a Light (2008)	" It probably looked great on paper. Oh, sure, the concert scenes in this documentary about the Stones' show in New York are top-of-the-line, but it's nothing new." Posted Apr 3, 2008
Fresh A-	Rotten 52%	Leatherheads (2008)	" A good-natured throwback to the days of screwball comedy, the movie is at its best away from the playing field." Posted Apr 3, 2008
Rotten D-	Rotten 15%	Superhero Movie! (2008)	" What's supposed to be a spoof of all the comic-book movies clogging theaters turns out to be an unfunny retread of the first Spider-Man." Posted Mar 28, 2008
Fresh B	Rotten 26%	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	" It's all entertaining, especially with the Apatow-patented dialogue, in this case from screenwriters Kristofor Brown and Seth Rogen." Posted Mar 20, 2008
Rotten C-	Rotten 41%	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	" The talented cast is largely wasted." Posted Feb 28, 2008
Fresh B	Fresh 79%	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	" *This adventure of preteens encountering a mythical realm lacks the scope of the other entries in the Harry Potter* sweepstakes, but it still manages to provide scares and action for the under-12 set.**" Posted Feb 14, 2008
Rotten c-	Rotten 10%	Fool's Gold (2008)	" This movie is a lot like going on vacation and only eating at chain restaurants: familiar and bland, despite the beautiful surroundings." Posted Feb 7, 2008
Rotten F	Rotten 37%	Rambo (2008)	" The problem is, even as mindless violence, the movie fails." Posted Jan 24, 2008
Fresh B	Rotten 40%	27 Dresses (2008)	" Even if we see the happy ending from miles away, it's still a happy ending." Posted Jan 17, 2008
Rotten C	Fresh 86%	The Orphanage (2007)	" There's not too much original or surprising in the film." Posted Jan 11, 2008
Fresh B-	Fresh 81%	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	" The movie really snaps when Hanks and Hoffman are firing screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's dialogue back and forth, discussing arms deals with deadpan humor." Posted Dec 21, 2007
Fresh A	Fresh 74%	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	" Walk Hard looks and sounds so much like a real musical biopic that you could make a good drinking game out of naming all the movies that get spoofed." Posted Dec 20, 2007
Fresh A-	Fresh 68%	I Am Legend (2007)	" Maybe not the most uplifting choice for a holiday flick, but Smith's riveting performance and tight action scenes make this a smart, gripping view of the end of the world." Posted Dec 13, 2007
Fresh B	Fresh 66%	The Kite Runner (2007)	" *The power of the film's key scenes can make you forget the long, long, long* trip it takes to get to them.**" Posted Dec 13, 2007
Fresh A-	Rotten 42%	The Golden Compass (2007)	" This adaptation is a gorgeous, overstuffed contender for the box-office crown of Harry Potter." Posted Dec 6, 2007
Fresh A	Fresh 72%	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	" Writer-director Frank Darabont hits every color in the feel-bad rainbow in this powerful adaptation of one of Stephen King's scariest works." Posted Nov 20, 2007
Fresh A-	Fresh 71%	Beowulf (2007)	" Until now, the story of Beowulf has been the most excruciatingly dull part of English Lit 101. But plenty of swordplay, monster-slaying and a naked Angelina Jolie turn the centuries-old poem into a bitching action movie." Posted Nov 16, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 34%	P2 (2007)	" The only scary part about this is that someone out there might actually love it." Posted Nov 9, 2007
Rotten D+	Rotten 27%	Lions for Lambs (2007)	" Good performances from Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise are wasted in what's basically a dorm-room debate with a couple of action scenes." Posted Nov 9, 2007
Rotten C-	Rotten 21%	Fred Claus (2007)	" It's more like a holiday fruitcake: a lot of different chunks of stuff -- some bitter, some sweet, some awful -- half-baked and sent to people low on the Christmas list." Posted Nov 9, 2007
Fresh B-	Fresh 81%	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	" Pretty touching and kindhearted...for a movie about a guy in love with a sex doll." Posted Oct 12, 2007
Rotten D+	Rotten 13%	The Seeker (2007)	" Powering through this story on an Xbox would be far more fun." Posted Oct 5, 2007
