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

Rotten	Rotten 55%	The Soloist (2009)	" A sensitive but surprisingly unmoving portrayal of the friendship (based on a true story) between a Los Angeles Times writer and a troubled street musician living on the streets of Skid Row. Jamie Foxx gives a standout performance." Posted Apr 22, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 78%	Doubt (2008)	" John Patrick Shanley opens up his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play,diluting some of its dramatic alchemy, but with its considerable strengths intact. He's assembled a veritable screen dream team to rival the brilliant stage ensemble." Posted Dec 11, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Hamlet 2 (2008)	" *While not all the jokes in Hamlet 2* work, even the failures earn a smile.**" Posted Jul 16, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 13%	Made of Honor (2008)	" Another wedding-themed romantic comedy that fizzles when it should fizz." Posted May 2, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 57%	Married Life (2008)	" Cooper gives another indelible performance as a suffering innocent with devilish intent." Posted Feb 11, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 93%	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	" The film, aided by Amalric's pitch-perfect performance, reveals the range of Jean-Do's emotional life, his anger, joy and wry humor." Posted Nov 19, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	" What could have been cloying or absurd is instead endearing, even if the film is somewhat too long for its conceit." Posted Oct 4, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 67%	The 11th Hour (2007)	" *Less imaginatively structured than An Inconvenient Truth* and therefore less likely to reach the unconverted, it is still a treasure trove of fascinating facts and ideas.**" Posted Aug 13, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 65%	The Shape of Things (2003)	" LaBute's observations about our self-destructive obsession with appearances may not be original, but his ability to create articulate, provocative characters is." Posted Jul 10, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 75%	My Best Friend (2007)	" My Best Friend proves that even the most artificial premise can yield a heartfelt result." Posted Jun 12, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Knocked Up (2007)	" Finds humor and pathos in sex, friendship, relationships and the relentless process of growing up." Posted May 31, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 52%	Spanglish (2004)	" [Brooks] once again delivers flesh-and-blood characters with minds, unexpected dialogue, and a lovely, emotional payoff." Posted Dec 19, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 68%	La Petite Lili (2004)	" The film explores the conflict between idealistic youth and pragmatic maturity, respecting each in turn, but succeeds best in underscoring the power of youthful sexuality." Posted Dec 8, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 49%	De-Lovely (2004)	" Winkler's musical valentine to Cole Porter and his genius sets just the right tone, a harmonious blend of intelligence and sentiment, intensified by a song score to sigh for and the best film performance of Kevin Kline's estimable career." Posted Aug 8, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 73%	Strayed (2004)	" A psychologically acute study of individuals in extreme circumstances. It is not easily forgotten." Posted Aug 8, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Festival Express (2004)	" Often shot in extreme close-up, Janis, radiant with no makeup, despite a bad skin week, literally takes over the screen. She digs so deeply into her songs, with such cathartic passion, you feel transformed, certainly transfixed." Posted Aug 8, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 89%	In America (2003)	" No one has ever told an immigrant story quite like this." Posted Nov 1, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 95%	The Pianist (2002)	" It is hard not to be especially grateful for freedom after a film like this." Posted Dec 24, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 89%	The Quiet American (2002)	" It is a timely film and a transporting one." Posted Nov 23, 2002
Fresh	Rotten 54%	The Cherry Orchard (2002)	" ... wise and elegiac ..." Posted Feb 24, 2002

Rotten	Rotten 46%	Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)	" Lacks the magic of Disney's most successful animated predecessors." Posted Jun 19, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 75%	All Access: Front Row. Backstage. Live! (2001)	" If only this technology had been around for Woodstock!" Posted May 30, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 81%	The House of Mirth (2000)	" Deepens our appreciation of Wharton's genius for observing the intricacies of social life and the greater intricacies of the human heart." Posted Feb 7, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 98%	All About My Mother (1999)	" *Rich in compassion, humor and complexity, All About My Mother* not only brings its central characters from darkness to light, it suggests a brighter future for the bedraggled art of cinema.**" Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 85%	Anastasia (1997)	" A rousing, romantic adventure film." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 95%	Antz (1998)	" This fully computer-animated feature with a phenomenal voice cast delivers a pleasurable 83 minutes of fantasy." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Rotten 54%	How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)	" *While Carrey and the audience would be better served by a less cluttered, hyperkinetic production, the star's animated intensity keeps The Grinch* moving.**" Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 76%	Mansfield Park (1999)	" Romantic, thoughtful and beautifully filmed." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 75%	Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (1996)	" Creates a make-believe world that is hard to leave." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Mulan (1998)	" Mulan sets new standards in animation. But it is in the subtlety of its characters' 'acting' that Mulan excels." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Rotten 38%	Mystery, Alaska (1999)	" The cast...applies itself with such conviction, that one wishes the result had been worth the effort." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 70%	Tango (1998)	" Allows the tango, in its myriad expressive forms, to take center stage, telling the story and igniting the senses with its sinuous, elegant moves." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Rotten 42%	The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)	" Creaks along with some highs but many more lows." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Fresh 62%	Twilight (1998)	" Robert Benton's noir thriller could use a shot of adrenaline." Posted Jan 1, 2000
