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

Fresh	Fresh 75%	City of Men (2008)	" A touching coming-of-age story set against the violence and poverty of Rio's favelas." — Screen International Posted Dec 1, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 16%	Nina's Heavenly Delights (2007)	" Disappointingly tepid and flavourless fare." — Time Out Posted Dec 30, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Shut Up & Sing (2006)	" A superior rockumentary." — Time Out Posted Nov 18, 2006
Rotten	Fresh 76%	Match Point (2005)	" The plotting lacks a necessary sense of tragic propulsion; it feels dutifully schematic, its ironies polite and tidy when they should be bitter and merciless." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 88%	The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2007)	" Loach has made a film of uncompromising, wintry bleakness, haunted by death and ravaged ideals. The days of hope have never been shorter." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 69%	The Science of Sleep (2006)	" Possibly a very shallow work, but it's also exhaustively imaginative and bustles with wit and invention." — Sight and Sound Posted Sep 28, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 85%	Unconscious (2007)	" We should be thankful for the wit and style of Joaqu�n Oristrell�s film." — Time Out Posted Sep 23, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 40%	My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)	" At one point, jealous Thurman tosses a live shark into Matt and Hannah�s love nest. Unwittingly plunged into this farrago, the shark earns my sympathy." — Time Out Posted Aug 3, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)	" Chappelle keeps things lively, joking on camera, punctuating the acts with gags , while Michel Gondry maintains our interest, focusing as much on Chappelle�s energy and wit, and goings-on behind the scenes, as the gig itself." — Time Out Posted Jun 29, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 32%	Imagine Me & You (2006)	" The American Perabo (doing a good English accent) and Headey are likable leads -- and Goode brings a touching vulnerability to his role as the luckless Heck." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 37%	Ask the Dust (2005)	" *Although Chinatown* writer Towne lovingly depicts the Depression-era LA setting (actually shot in South Africa), the film misfires.*" — Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 85%	Batman Begins (2005)	" A welcome new beginning." — Sight and Sound Posted Jul 5, 2005

Fresh	Rotten 48%	Jackass: The Movie (2002)	" It goes without saying that much of this is pathologically puerile, relentlessly unedifying and in dubious taste, but there are more than enough compensating laugh-out-loud moments (for this viewer, at least)." — Sight and Sound Posted Mar 4, 2003

Rotten	Rotten 28%	Gossip (2000)	" *Predictable at every turn, glossy but stagy, and full of unengaging, underdeveloped characters, Gossip* too is 'all just words'.*" — Sight and Sound* Posted Dec 2, 2002
Rotten	Rotten 19%	Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)	" An inglorious wreck of a movie." — Sight and Sound Posted Dec 2, 2002

Fresh	Fresh 84%	Chuck & Buck (2000)	" Chuck & Buck is a film which you can't quite get a fix on: it's a movie about child sex which is also as airy and sweetly likeable as anything you'll see this year." — Sight and Sound Posted Dec 2, 2002
Rotten	Fresh 64%	Saving Grace (2000)	" In trying too hard to convince us what good eggs his characters are, Cole creates a shapeless, dramatically unengaging movie." — Sight and Sound Posted Dec 2, 2002

Fresh	Fresh 92%	Amores Perros (2001)	" *An ambitious multi-plotted portrait of overlapping lives in contemporary Mexico City, Amores perros* rarely relaxes its grip.*" — Sight and Sound* Posted Jun 7, 2001
