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

Fresh 3/4	Fresh 72%	The Road (2009)	" A heartbreaking and powerful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel." — Premiere Magazine Posted Nov 23, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 54%	The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)	" This Coens-lite comedy squeezes every last drop of craziness from its source but is undone by a thin third act. McGregor’s a good straight man, but it’s Clooney’s show." — Total Film Posted Nov 6, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 54%	The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)	" This lively satire looks destined for future cult status." — Premiere Magazine Posted Nov 3, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 75%	Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)	" With the global economic meltdown affecting just about everybody, the film is pertinent, hugely entertaining, and, above all, timely." — Premiere Magazine Posted Sep 22, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 76%	The Informant! (2009)	" Bright, breezy, and downright goofy, this superbly captures the workings of Whitacre’s highly imaginative mind and the outlandish nature of the crime." — Premiere Magazine Posted Sep 15, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 6%	Body of Evidence (1993)	" An erotic thriller that's strangely unerotic and devoid of thrills, this is, however, mercifully short at 100 minutes." — Empire Magazine Posted Jul 20, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 38%	Outlander (2009)	" This should have been a cracking genre piece – Vikings? Monsters? What’s not to like? – even if Beowulf hadn’t got there first. But despite the cool concept, it commits the cardinal sin of being a little too much on the dull side." — Total Film Posted Apr 24, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 87%	The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008)	" This charming, visually fertile film captures the conflicted emotions of first love and embarrassment of being a teen with real sensitivity." — Total Film Posted Sep 19, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 46%	Triangle (2007)	" To’s stylishly choreographed, action-led finale wraps things up with a blackly humorous and suspenseful stand-off in an outdoor restaurant." — Total Film Posted Aug 29, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 95%	[Rec] (2007)	" Gripping, unsettling and truly horrific, [REC] is much more than the gimmick suggested by its title. Prepare to squirm, wince and wonder at how a potential Blair Witch knock-off is quite so grimy and engrossing. And don’t eat dinner before you see it." — Total Film Posted Apr 11, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 74%	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	" The running time and pacing may scare some, but Dominik has crafted an instant classic, with poetic visuals, sensational performances and a true love for the genre. Magnificent." — Total Film Posted Nov 29, 2007
Rotten 5/5	Fresh 74%	Léon the Professional (1994)	" Oozing style, wit and confidence from every sprocket, and offering a dizzyingly, fresh perspective on the Big Apple that only Besson could bring, this is, in a word, wonderful." — Empire Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 4%	Fascination (2005)	" We can't stay interested, much less fascinated." — Time Out New York Posted Aug 16, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	Say Anything (1989)	" Rewarding if slightly off-beat, and genuinely funny." — Empire Magazine Posted Jul 17, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 66%	The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)	" Smith hits all the right notes – understated, engaging, inspirational – even if his young son threatens to charm him off the screen." — Time Out Posted Jan 11, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 26%	Fantastic Four (2005)	" Fantastic it most certainly ain’t." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Robocop (1987)	" Vile, violent, and very funny. The pace is breakneck, and when the wit does run out, way-out weaponry and whole-scale destruction keep the appalled excitement burning." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Mala Noche (1985)	" Offbeat, offhand, and at times off-the-wall." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 5%	The Fog (2005)	" Yet another anaemic horror retread starring a cast of good-looking TV totty." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 13%	Masters of the Universe (1987)	" There are lots of flashes and bangs, but the effects are neither special nor camp enough to be more than vaguely amusing." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 52%	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	" Only Lucy Liu’s insanely perky neighbour emerges with any real credit." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Cinderella Man (2005)	" The fight scenes have a stinging authenticity and, although at 144 minutes it outstays its welcome, this is Howard’s best film since Apollo 13" — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 14%	8 Million Ways to Die (1986)	" *What happened? With Ashby, Bridges, Arquette and a script co-written by Oliver Stone, you expect the result to be better than a long drawn-out episode of The Equalizer." — Time Out* Posted Jan 26, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 0%	Death Wish 3 (1985)	" This is nothing more than cinematic masturbation." — Time Out Posted Jan 26, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)	" . . . an explosive and heart wrenching piece of cinema . . ." — Premiere Magazine Posted Jun 4, 2004
N/A	Rotten 37%	The Matrix Revolutions (2003)	" So what can we expect from part three? 'Revolutions spills into the real world and becomes very epic,' says visual-effects supervisor John Gaeta." — Premiere Magazine Posted Jun 10, 2003
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 84%	Seven (1995)	" dark, gripping thriller which saves its most shocking revelations for the final scenes." — Empire Magazine Posted Feb 13, 2001
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 15%	Four Rooms (1995)	" Anthology films never work; Tarantino is not infallible; casting Madonna as a lesbian witch and Bruce Willis in a silly party hat doesn't necessarily make for great entertainment." — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 94%	Hard Boiled (1992)	" *Infinitely more exciting than a dozen Die Hards, action cinema doesn't come any better than this." — Empire Magazine* Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 74%	Sleepless in Seattle (1993)	" Not one of the cleverer rom-coms of this ilk... but sweet and touching nevertheless and Tom Hanks is always watchable." — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	Rotten 23%	The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)	Click here to read article — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 69%	Tin Cup (1996)	" *The golfing equivalent of Bull Durham* -- and just as enjoyable.*" — Empire Magazine* Posted Jan 1, 2000
