Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
2/4	39%	The Call (2013)	" Whatever the intent was, what we get is one of the most hilarious and unbelievable thrillers made in the last few years." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 14, 2013
6/10	33%	Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)	" Great production design and a couple well done action scenes make this one somewhat enjoyable." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 13, 2013
3/10	16%	Priest (2011)	" Priest is one of those films you will forget about approximately five minutes after it's over. There is absolutely nothing memorable here." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 13, 2013
2/4	42%	The ABCs of Death (2013)	" This could have been an interesting opportunity to make short vignettes about the nature of death, which would have made for a far more fascinating film, but unfortunately, many of the filmmakers opted to try and gross out the audience instead." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 7, 2013
3.5/5	75%	The Intouchables (2012)	" Despite the blu-ray having little to offer in the way of special features, the film is more than recommendable on its own thanks to its amazing charm and the wonderful performances from Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 5, 2013
5/10	76%	The Bay (2012)	" Levinson should have been far more concerned about his story rather than the method in which he presented it." — Examiner.com Posted Mar 4, 2013
7/10	70%	Horrible Bosses (2011)	" Horrible Bosses is very funny and features a great cast that exudes wonderful chemistry." — We Got This Covered Posted Mar 2, 2013
6/10	78%	Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)	" Crazy, Stupid, Love has several humorous spots and is filled with good performances from the entire cast." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 28, 2013
6/10	26%	Colombiana (2011)	" Colombiana contains some thrilling scenes as well as an interesting sense of twisted humor, but there's not enough here to really keep us engaged." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 28, 2013
3/5	63%	Sinister (2012)	" Sinister creates a fantastic horror atmosphere that will fill you with a sense of dread, but the film's stretched out mystery and awful soundtrack only serve to hold it back." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 18, 2013
5/10	87%	Robot & Frank (2012)	" "Robot & Frank" is not a bad film, and yet, it's incredibly easy to start forgetting it even as it's playing. It's so light and airy that there's not really anything to grasp within it." — Examiner.com Posted Feb 11, 2013
4/10	8%	11-11-11 (2011)	" With 11-11-11, Darren Lynn Bousman is merely insulting the audience with this poor excuse for a plot and its ludicrous ending" — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 9, 2013
2.5/5	70%	Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)	" The writers behind Celeste and Jesse Forever do their best to avoid the standard rom-com formula, but they don't manage to get away from it entirely. As a consequence, the characters are annoying and unbelievable, making the film the exact same." — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 4, 2013
2.5/5	12%	Alex Cross (2012)	" Alex Cross is an extremely generic detective story plagued with problems ranging from the poor casting of Tyler Perry to Rob Cohen's bad direction. " — We Got This Covered Posted Feb 4, 2013
4/10	39%	Here Comes the Boom (2012)	" Basically, what you get with "Here Comes the Boom" is a completely unbelievable story that is based on a foundation that doesn't contain the least bit of originality." — Examiner.com Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/4	36%	Stand Up Guys (2013)	" There's far too much meandering here for it to make much of an impact. If [Heidle] had buckled down and concentrated on the most important element of the story, he really could have had an intriguing character study." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 31, 2013
5/10	82%	Seven Psychopaths (2012)	" This is a film with a lot of interesting elements to it, but sadly it just never comes together. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's a mess, but the structure of it could have used a bit of an overhaul." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 28, 2013
7/10	——	The Liability (2013)	" Don't let the direct-to-DVD status of the project fool you. "The Liability" is a film that has a decent amount of entertainment to offer, particularly with the story and characters." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 28, 2013
2/4	39%	Parker (2013)	" Oh Jason Statham, will you ever stop making the same movie over and over again?" — Examiner.com Posted Jan 28, 2013
2/4	60%	John Dies at the End (2013)	" However daring it may be, unfortunately it never comes together into a cohesive whole. What could have just been a bizarre visual feast ends up getting distracted with a muddled plot that merely sells out in the end." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 24, 2013
7/10	79%	The Innkeepers (2012)	" Sometimes all it takes to make a decent little horror film is some good atmosphere and realistic character, and that's what The Innkeepers has." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 23, 2013
6/10	74%	Rampart (2012)	" Rampart doesn't end up having as much emotional punch to it as The Messenger did, mainly because it feels as though the idea was not thought out to completion." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 23, 2013
7/10	94%	The Secret World of Arrietty (2012)	" The Secret World of Arrietty is a return to the land of imagination that is so often the basis for these beautiful films, which continually show that animation can be so much more than just a cartoon." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 23, 2013
5/10	57%	Detachment (2012)	" While Adrien Brody gives it his all in his performance, the film suffers greatly from an attempt to equalize its multiple plotlines." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 22, 2013
6/10	44%	Brake (2012)	" While the film is suspenseful for awhile, it ultimately becomes a let down because of a stretched out story and an absurd ending." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
2/10	0%	Dark Tide (2012)	" With its one-dimensional characters and lack of an engaging plot, Dark Tide will test the patience of even the most patient moviegoer. " — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
5/10	9%	ATM (2012)	" ATM's flawed premise leads to a film that lacks the necessary tension and character development to keep the audience engaged in the story. Furthermore, the characters' unwillingness to act on their situation merely makes for a very frustrating film." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
5/10	62%	We Have a Pope (2012)	" While We Have a Pope contains an interesting idea for a film, it ultimately fails to portray the struggle Cardinal Melville is going through, which is the centerpiece of the entire film." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
6/10	38%	Touchback (2012)	" Touchback is a sweet family film that ultimately lacks enough insight into the main character's thought process as he struggles to make a decision that could change his life." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 16, 2013
4/10	53%	Think Like a Man (2012)	" Think Like a Man tries to tackle more characters than it can handle, making for a mess of a film that ultimately feels like a two-hour advertisement for Steve Harvey's book." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
7/10	97%	Monsieur Lazhar (2012)	" While it may not stand out from similar movies, Monsieur Lazhar is a sweet film with a simple story and remains engaging thanks in large part to Mohamed Fellag's charming performance." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
7/10	67%	God Bless America (2012)	" Bobcat Goldthwait's God Bless America works well as a black comedy and as a satirical look at pop culture and human behavior." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
7/10	78%	The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)	" The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a true example of an ensemble piece where a group of veteran actors show that they are just as good as they ever were." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 15, 2013
5/10	43%	To Rome with Love (2012)	" There are some things to like about "To Rome with Love," but when you weigh all four stories together, you'll more than likely find that it's not worth sitting through due to the weaker ones." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 14, 2013
5/10	39%	The Possession (2012)	" The Possession is a very standard horror tale that scores a point or two for some unintentional laughs, but none for originality or scares." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 14, 2013
3/10	10%	Branded (2012)	" Branded attempts to deliver a message about the nature of advertising and consumerism, but that message gets buried in a completely nonsensical mess of a film." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 14, 2013
3/4	93%	Zero Dark Thirty (2013)	" While "Zero Dark Thirty" is a decent telling of these events, I'm forced to reach the same conclusion that I did with "The Hurt Locker." It's a good film overall, but not the great film I've been hearing about." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 10, 2013
1.5/4	11%	House at the End of the Street (2012)	" House at the End of the Street is nothing more than a lazily-written horror film that falls back on every cliche possible while failing to provide any scares in the process." — We Got This Covered Posted Jan 7, 2013
2.5/4	52%	Promised Land (2013)	" "Promised Land" ends up being about two-thirds of a decent film, despite having problems with its characters. Had there been a little more thought put into the ending, perhaps it would have been more satisfying." — Examiner.com Posted Jan 3, 2013
8/10	93%	Looper (2012)	" Looper has its highs and lows, but it remains one of the more original sci-fi films to come out in some time." — We Got This Covered Posted Dec 30, 2012
3/4	88%	Django Unchained (2012)	" This is Tarantino's unique take on the western and it's worth seeing for that alone. While it may not be another great film like we were hoping for, it still manages to be one heck of a trip." — Examiner.com Posted Dec 25, 2012
5/10	22%	The Words (2012)	" The Words has a fascinating story at its core, but the unnecessary extra layer only serves to hurt the film and makes the ending a bit of a mess." — We Got This Covered Posted Dec 24, 2012
5/10	30%	Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)	" The Blu-Ray of Resident Evil: Retribution ends up being a pretty good release of a really bad film. If you're one of the millions who have seen just how awful these movies have gotten, then this entry is not likely to change your mind." — We Got This Covered Posted Dec 24, 2012
4/4	70%	Les Mis�rables (2012)	" The result is not only one of the best musical adaptations to come along in the last few years, but also the best film of 2012." — Examiner.com Posted Dec 24, 2012
1.5/4	51%	This is 40 (2012)	" If Apatow had any deeper message, it ends up getting drowned in this mess, but that's bound to happen when you try to take a premise that might barely support 80 minutes and stretch it well past its breaking point. " — Examiner.com Posted Dec 20, 2012
2.5/4	81%	The Impossible (2012)	" There is an incredibly emotional story to be told from this family's experience, but due to the weak structure and awkward third act, "The Impossible" fails to deliver it." — Examiner.com Posted Dec 20, 2012
5/10	51%	Trouble with the Curve (2012)	" Trouble with the Curve arrives on Blu-Ray with beautiful quality, but the multi-plotted narrative of the film and the hollow special features only serve to drag it down, ultimately making this a release that I can't recommend." — We Got This Covered Posted Dec 20, 2012
6/10	31%	Total Recall (2012)	" This chance to update the original Total Recall merely becomes a missed opportunity, with the filmmakers opting to make a special effects extravaganza that largely ignores the story instead." — We Got This Covered Posted Dec 20, 2012
2.5/4	93%	Amour (2012)	" There is such a thing as being too straightforward, which is exactly what "Amour" becomes. If anything, it'll leave you wishing that there was more substance to it." — Examiner.com Posted Dec 18, 2012
