Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
2/6	"All this proves is that watching a poorly executed scene from 19 perspectives is worse than watching it once in an unbroken frame." -- Time Out New York Posted May 14, 2008	The Tracey Fragments (2008)	38%
3/6	"Though the film attests that the director can masterfully dredge up metaphysical dread, it also proves that he needs to learn to avoid easy ways out." -- Time Out New York Posted May 14, 2008	Yella (2008)	79%
2/6	"What Eigeman needs is a stronger sense of style and storytelling if he wants to elevate the material past the stock indie-miserabilism mark." -- Time Out New York Posted May 8, 2008	Turn the River (2008)	79%
4/6	"Long before Wong Kar-wai perfected his dreamy, ennui-infused aesthetic (or got hopelessly stuck in blueberry goo), he made a name for himself with this warhorse tale of small-time hoods on the road to ruin." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2008	As Tears Go By (1988)	71%
3/6	"Though Lelouch has toned down his penchant for putting pretty pictures ahead of plot, there�s still a nagging sense of disposability." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 24, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	81%
4/6	"Standard Operating Procedure never offers concrete answers; it lets the perpetrators explain themselves straight into the camera, and we�re left to sift through the testimonies." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 24, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
2/6	"Uncomfortable moments and near�nervous breakdowns transition into Oxygen-channel cuteness, which we�re supposed to read as some sort of approximation of�messy real life? Not quite." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 24, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	55%
3/6	"The subject is never less than fascinating, though the film�s repetitive format and reiteration of the same points ad infinitum will wear you down before the paint can dry." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 24, 2008	Bomb It (2008)	85%
1/6	"Compared with Jon Avnet�s barely functional directing and the ripened dialogue, Pacino�s phoned-in turn hardly qualifies as a cardinal sin." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 18, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	6%
3/6	"*Every time the focus switches to Michael Angarano channeling his inner Ralph Macchio, The Forbidden Kingdom* reminds you that it's primarily an act of occidental tourism.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
3/6	"The movie gets lots of things right, yet it fumbles key facets so badly that you simply can�t christen it the gridiron version of �His Girl Friday�." -- Time Out Posted Apr 11, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
3/6	"Though the film stands out from the Iraqumentary pack, even its intimate moments feel attached to an overall agenda." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 10, 2008	Body of War (2008)	73%
3/6	"We�ve watched Wang belabor this point to death, which doesn�t detract from the film�s grace notes, but also doesn�t exactly make this neorealistic chronicle of rural life the deepest of profeminist parables." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2008	Tuya's Marriage (2008)	82%
3/6	"The movie gets lots of things right, yet fumbles key facets so badly that you simply can�t christen it the gridiron version of His Girl Friday." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
5/6	"The director�s eye for baroque black-and-white imagery puts him behind only Bava and Welles, while the film�s sharp social satire gives heft to its ambition." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2008	The Saragossa Manuscript (1965)	89%
3/6	"The offbeat path is now a well-beaten one; perhaps it�s time to try something truly different." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 3, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	81%
1/6	"The list of transgressions in Bruce Van Dusen�s stalled road-trip flick is miles long: dialogue chocked with bumper-sticker platitudes, self-consciously quirky characters, gratuitous gunplay and a soundtrack top-heavy with achingly bad dorm-rock." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 27, 2008	Backseat (2008)	8%
4/6	"Like his fellow Mason-Dixon minimalist David Gordon Green (the film�s producer), [director] Nichols favors mood and ellipses over momentum and explanations, which gives this contemporary Hatfields-versus-McCoys narrative a beguiling, drifting atmosphere." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 27, 2008	Shotgun Stories (2007)	87%
5/6	"To laud [Alexander] Sokurov�s latest film for being accessible is faint praise, as if the fact that you don�t need a Ph.D. in Russian history to watch it constitutes its worthiness." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 27, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	95%
4/6	"*It�s only when Planet B-Boy* settles into the stories of the 2005 tournament's hopefuls and turns into the Spellbound of bodyrockin' that the film finds its proper ambassadorial groove.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Mar 20, 2008	Planet B-Boy (2008)	90%
2/6	"A parade of cheap shots designed to provoke knee-jerk reactions; only a montage of puppies being slaughtered would be more manipulative." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 20, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	74%
3/6	"Casting an iconic �60s libertine in the titular role may seem cute, but the actor�s sad-clown rictus and faint smiles nullify any deal-breaking bathos." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 20, 2008	Irina Palm (2008)	72%
3/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 20, 2008	Sputnik Mania (2008)	87%
3/6	"Honor�s Demy-glazed attempt to stage a contemporary romantic musical rarely attains the genre�s giddy heights or sense of genuine catharsis." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 20, 2008	Love Songs (2008)	66%
2/6	"Not even a choice ass-whupping can make up for the plodding familiarity that precedes it." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 14, 2008	Flash Point (2008)	47%
3/6	"*For all its regional specificity and grit, the majority of Blind Mountain�s turns could have come from any Hollywood-issue flick." -- Time Out New York* Posted Mar 14, 2008	Blind Mountain (2008)	77%
3/6	"This tepid melodrama, however, shows that the filmmaker hasn�t found a way to use his considerable strengths to enliven stock material just yet." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 6, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	68%
4/6	"Both a tribute and a pitiless autopsy of a couple�s self-destructive tango." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 6, 2008	I Don't Hear the Guitar Anymore (1991)	n/a
3/6	"Free World doesn’t need to manufacture tension; its critique of corruption by association is compelling enough." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 29, 2008	It's a Free World (2007)	93%
4/6	"Bahrani turns his keen eye toward another working-class subculture and again proves that he�s a virtually peerless New York neorealist." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 28, 2008	Chop Shop (2007)	94%
1/6	"Neither a talented cast nor the film�s Gaudi-like version of London�s urban landscapes can make up for schizophrenic pacing and inexplicable phenomena." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 28, 2008	Penelope (2008)	53%
3/6	"Ruzowitzky�s faux-doc shaky-cam zooms are less about the banality of evil than the inappropriateness of style." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 21, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
4/6	"There’s so much food for thought to feast on." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 14, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
2/6	"The voice of the novels is lost in translation; what�s left is something that�s merely by the book." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 13, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
1/6	"Bereft of anything resembling subtlety or common sense, this cretinous caper flick does offer a lesson on how to rob folks of $10.50. The bank aspect is merely incidental." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 7, 2008	How to Rob a Bank (2008)	9%
4/6	"If Mike Leigh decided to make cockney pulp instead of populist dramas, he�d end up with something similar to British actor-turned-director Paul Andrew Williams�s raw, nerve-jangling feature debut." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 7, 2008	London to Brighton (2008)	76%
