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

Fresh	Rotten 40%	The Lovely Bones (2009)	" It's a tough subject, but elegant, smooth filmmaking keeps us comfortable when we know bad things are going to happen." — Sci Fi Wire Posted Dec 9, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 24%	Law Abiding Citizen (2009)	" This is brilliant exploitation with A-listers. It's not an Oscar movie. It's way cooler because it's not looking for anyone's approval." — Can Magazine Posted Oct 17, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 18%	Love Happens (2009)	" I think this country really needs movies like this. People are so freaked out about death of natural causes that they protest against health care. Imagine if they ever had to deal with a tragic death." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 18, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 25%	Land of the Lost (2009)	" It�s a little more than half and half, definitely fun to watch with some memorable parts." — Can Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 42%	The Last House on the Left (2009)	" There are so many elements, you really don't know what's coming next, even though you know exactly what's going to happen." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 12, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 91%	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 47%	Lakeview Terrace (2008)	" Samuel L. Jackson at his mother*** best!" — Can Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 35%	The Lucky Ones (2008)	" Rachel McAdams keeps reminding me how good she is in every role she takes. In this movie, she just glows energy. Acting is one thing. How do you project energy? Through joy, anger and curiosity, she projects this vibe and she is the backbone of the film." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 40%	The Longshots (2008)	" Well, at least the underdog formula has gotten so tight that we can wrap these things up in under 90 minutes." — Can Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 14%	The Love Guru (2008)	" *They are not putting any of the funny stuff from The Love Guru* in the trailer. This is a rapid assault of comedy.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Jun 21, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 52%	Leatherheads (2008)	" George Clooney may be the best actor/director of all time." — Can Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 27%	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	" The film is not boring, considering the simple, tried and true forbidden romance story. It doesn't languish in the period details. Stuff keeps happening and you can follow it, not like so many Jane Austen family courtship dramas." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 17, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 27%	Lions for Lambs (2007)	" The producers of Lions for Lambs are missing a tremendous marketing opportunity here. They should spell each L word with a Z instead of an L, and use the number 4 in between them. Lionz4lambz would be gangsta to the youth market." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 9, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	" This movie is either a cautionary tale or my potential future biography. I'm just kidding, I'll never be able to afford one of those dolls." — Can Magazine Posted Oct 12, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 7%	License To Wed (2007)	" This is both a Robin Williams movie and a Mandy Moore movie. There's really no saving that." — Can Magazine Posted Jul 6, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 87%	The Lookout (2007)	" You've got to acknowledge Memento though... Perhaps this is more accurate about a real condition and its symptoms but it's still a mystery about unreliable memories, only here the protagonist uses them for good and not evil." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 53%	The Last Mimzy (2007)	" *It's Donnie Darko* for kids.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Mar 23, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 45%	The Last Kiss (2006)	" I just wanted one person to tell one character in this film, "So what? So what if you have no surprises? Like you deserve some. So what if you're a bored old couple? Like you were such interesting people 30 years ago."" — Can Magazine Posted Sep 17, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 24%	Lady in the Water (2006)	" Narf, scrunt and tartutic may sound silly, but I was interested in the story. If J.K. Rowling can make up muggle, M. Night can have those three. It's a far more involving than the manufactured tales of Da Vinci scholars." — Can Magazine Posted Jul 20, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 36%	The Lake House (2006)	" Neither of the characters have any fun with this wonderful time travel device. It makes them both seem fake, because any normal person would at least say, 'Tell me who to bet on in the Superbowl next year.'" — Can Magazine Posted Jun 16, 2006
N/A	Rotten 25%	The Legend of Zorro (2005)	" *While Peter Jackson may have King Kong* and his eleven Oscars, fellow Kiwi Martin Campbell is happy with swashbucklers and martinis shaken, not stirred.*" — FilmStew.com* Posted Oct 27, 2005
Rotten	Rotten 25%	The Legend of Zorro (2005)	" Some definitive things happened in the first one that it would seem they couldn�t replay the same shenanigans. But they found a way." — About.com Posted Oct 27, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 55%	Lords of Dogtown (2005)	" There are also a lot of hot girls in �70s shorts, and they look like natural �70s bodies. I don�t know where they found those in Hollywood. " — About.com Posted Jun 3, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 32%	The Longest Yard (2005)	" Finally, Adam Sandler returns to the edgy sort of comedy we all love. No more lovey dovey romantic comedies. No more kiddie antics and no more stupid voices." — About.com Posted May 26, 2005
Rotten	Fresh 80%	Layer Cake (2005)	" It doesn�t seem to be making any point other than 'that�s how we do violence in hip crime movies now.'" — About.com Posted May 12, 2005
Rotten	Rotten 41%	Ladder 49 (2004)	" *What is the point of Ladder 49?Fire is scary?Fire fighting is dangerous?Veterans lose their youthful idealism?...It�s as pointless as a movie about the sky being blue." — About.com* Posted Oct 1, 2004
N/A	Fresh 77%	The Lion King 1 1/2 (2003)	" *Ernie Sabella, the voice of Pumbaa, talks about his all new fart noises in Lion King 1 1/2." — About.com* Posted Feb 8, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 77%	The Lion King 1 1/2 (2003)	" If they must milk every franchise for all it�s worth,at least they approached this one with a creative perspective.I�d still like to see them take more risks with the sequels." — About.com Posted Feb 8, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 94%	The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)	" There are people who understand every frame of this film. I am not one of them, but that�s okay." — About.com Posted Dec 17, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Love Actually (2003)	" A good movie, but it could have been a great one...tries so hard to be a grand ensemble that it loses focus and settles for some easy laughs...And not enough of my man Hugh." — Madblast.com Posted Nov 7, 2003
N/A	Rotten 56%	Looney Tunes - Back in Action (2003)	" *On the set of Looney Tunes: Back in Action* with Brendan Fraser and director Joe Dante. Experience Area 52 and The Gauntlet of Death.*" — About.com* Posted Aug 14, 2003
N/A	Rotten 23%	Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)	" Angelina Jolie talks about the film at the premiere of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Live." — About.com Posted Jul 22, 2003
N/A	Rotten 56%	Looney Tunes - Back in Action (2003)	" *Jenna Elfman previews Looney Tunes: Back in Action, talking about the special effects blending the animated characters into her world, the Las Vegas locations and the stunt car she drives." — About.com* Posted Jul 14, 2003
Fresh	Rotten 16%	The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)	The League of Extraordinary Gentleman is the most literate movie of the summer. How many summer movies reference Moby Dick and Around the World in 80 Days? Kids won�t know the literature of Melville and Verne, but it sets the tone for — About.com Posted Jul 14, 2003
