Rating T-Meter Title | Year Review
B 97% Logan (2017) "Logan" is the bleakest vision of Wolverine yet, but also hands down the best treatment the character has received on the big screen in the fifteen plus years Hugh Jackman has inhabited the role.‐ The Playlist

C- 37% A Cure For Wellness (2017) "A Cure For Wellness" is an exercise in watching a film continually stifle itself at its most compelling moments.‐ The Playlist

B 90% John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) A bullet-riddled blast.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Feb 6, 2017
B 69% Dayveon (2017) "Dayveon," the debut film from Amman Abbasi, acts as a calling card for strong directorial talents that are first displayed here, but are sure flourish even more powerfully in future efforts.‐ The Playlist

A 100% Things to Come (L'avenir) (2016) A thrillingly compassionate, deceptively simple, and wholly invested look at a capable older woman with a lively mind coping with a series of common misfortunes.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Dec 28, 2016
B No Score Yet Home (2016) It's the film's overall restraint which makes Home stand out.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Nov 17, 2016
C- 78% Magnus (2016) A profile that certainly admires Carlsen, but does little to uncover the methodology or magic behind the dazzling display he demonstrates on the board.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Nov 16, 2016
C No Score Yet Kill Me Please (Mate-me por favor) (2015) The stylized filmmaking does little to hide the emptiness at the core of the picture.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Nov 15, 2016
C 85% Divines (2016) An odd collection of strident single notes.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Nov 15, 2016
B 55% Rules Don't Apply (2016) If its somewhat unfocused narrative comes at the cost at a picture that could be more cohesive and concise, it still gifts viewers with characters and an era that's entertaining to explore.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Nov 10, 2016
C 43% The Girl on the Train (2016) "The Girl On The Train" leaves you wishing it had been a little more willing to go off the rails.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Oct 6, 2016
B- 93% Blue Jay (2016) Penned by Duplass, Blue Jay contains his usual, careful attention to creating characters that feel drawn from real life.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Oct 3, 2016
D- 10% I.T. (2016) A colossal waste of time, a 14K dial-up in the time of fiber optic.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 23, 2016
C 67% Buster's Mal Heart (2016) More conceptually interesting than actually entertaining.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
D 63% City of Tiny Lights (2016) Rather rote material, feeling like a beefed up episode of Law & Order.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
D 31% The Promise (2017) Didactic yet generic.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
B 78% Abacus: Small Enough to Jail (2016) While the film never reaches the kind of emotional peaks of James' best work ... Abacus: Small Enough To Jail is no less compelling.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
D- 22% The Assignment (2017) The film is far too dumb to cause any offense, except perhaps on good taste.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
C- 57% The Belko Experiment (2017) Often feels like a half-formed sketch of a script brought to life, rather than something that warrants a tiresome sequel tease at the end.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
C No Score Yet Headshot (2017) Kinetic momentum is consistently underdone by the film's bland story.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
D 81% My Blind Brother (2016) "My Blind Brother" is certainly the best version of this script you'll get thanks to the cast, but it's also a painful viewing experience to see such potential so thoroughly wasted, and such magnetism dulled off.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2016
B No Score Yet In the Radiant City (2016) Smolders with intelligence, empathy for its characters, and a rare resistance to give them an easy out or pat resolution. ‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 18, 2016
D 85% The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) Lifeless and lackluster.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 18, 2016
B+ 100% Tramps (2016) A marvel to watch unfold.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 16, 2016
C 86% Lion (2016) While Lion isn't the kind of drama that demands risky storytelling, it is one that has within it a whole world of emotional topography that is disappointingly scrolled over instead of mapped out.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 11, 2016
B 53% Mascots (2016) A minor key delight.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 10, 2016
B 79% Colossal (2017) A chilling look at how abusers and emotional manipulation take root.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 10, 2016
A 87% A Monster Calls (2017) A deeply moving fable about loss and love.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 10, 2016
B 81% Free Fire (2017) A shoot-em-up with a wide streak of wicked humor, coupled with no shortage of bullets and blood, marking Wheatley's most purely popcorn and wildly enjoyable movie to date.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 9, 2016
D 63% The Magnificent Seven (2016) A bigger, but dumber and louder remake.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Sep 8, 2016
A 83% Lights Out (Simon Werner A Disparu...) (2010) With a score composed by Sonic Youth and a mystery that doubles as an insight to the tenuous and intangible qualities of those late sex-obsessed teenage years, Lights Out is a clever drama masquerading as a murder mystery.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Aug 18, 2016
B 60% War Dogs (2016) The film doesn't quite hum the same way when the focus moves away from Teller and Hill. But when they're in the frame, the pair are so engaging in their hustle, the audience may not even realize they're already halfway being sold on the movie. ‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Aug 16, 2016
B 70% Operation Avalanche (2016) Reaches the sort of multi-layered levels of duplicity and narrative that would make Christopher Nolan proud. ‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Aug 1, 2016
B+ 75% Lace Crater (2016) The director ... puts together a picture that slyly has much more going on beneath its laid-back surface.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jul 31, 2016
B+ 86% Pete's Dragon (2016) Technically smart and emotionally intelligent, with this endearing bauble of a film containing a big beating heart inside.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jul 27, 2016
C 96% Train to Busan (Bu-san-haeng) (2016) What Train To Busan truly needs, and disappointingly lacks, is heart.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jul 22, 2016
C+ No Score Yet Kamisama no iu tôri (As the Gods Will) (2014) While ... patchy, there are just enough bizarrely funny and bloody moments inside that fans should be encouraged to try and track it down‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jul 19, 2016
C 93% The Innocents (Les innocentes) (2016) Unfortunately, [the film] which shows much finesse and nuance for most of its running time, is hampered by a swing toward conventional dramatics.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jun 28, 2016
B+ 78% The Phenom (2016) There is a richness of character here that belies the film's trim eighty-six minute running time.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jun 22, 2016
C- 69% Central Intelligence (2016) It's the kind of movie where dumb fun would be totally acceptable, but in an ironic twist, the fact that it's overthought is its ultimate undoing.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jun 16, 2016
B+ 77% Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) Featuring a new set of terrifically ridiculous songs from the group, and a highly calibrated, delightfully singular comedic punch, Popstar deserves to be a chart topper.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jun 2, 2016
100% O.J.: Made in America (2016) Edelman weaves a captivating tapestry about a nation perhaps in denial of how divided it still was about race, and a portrait of a colossal fall from grace that's perhaps unprecedented in modern America.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jun 2, 2016
C+ 72% The Ones Below (2016) While The Ones Below doesn't make it over the finish line, Farr shows good instincts, and has an ease for creating tension without overt manipulation‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted May 25, 2016
F No Score Yet Ratter (2016) Ratter wants to be provocative, but mistakes pushing buttons, with making a statement, and in the process undoes the potential of the movie, while betraying the audience's trust. ‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Apr 17, 2016
B 90% 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) This is all you need to know: when that mystery box is finally opened, you'll be more than satisfied.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Mar 10, 2016
B+ 100% Only Yesterday (2016) With "Only Yesterday," Takahata not only succeeds in transmitting how years can flash by, also the way that passage of time makes clearer the moments that define our character, and go on to influence how we choose live later.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Feb 27, 2016
C 84% Deadpool (2016) Deadpool only reinforces the genre expectations of the superhero movie, hoping that a string of winks to the camera, and the occasional flash of nudity will distract from what is ultimately, a very by-the-book story.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Feb 7, 2016
B+ No Score Yet For Grace (2016) What elevates the film from directors Kevin Pang and Mark Helenowski into something unique in the food doc genre is a broader narrative that isn't just about professional success, but a journey of personal growth.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jan 26, 2016
B- 100% The Bad Kids (2016) Taking us into the lives of these kids and halls of the school, "The Bad Kids" has a simple purpose - to show these teens are not beyond saving.‐ The Playlist
Read More | Posted Jan 24, 2016
D 10% Dirty Grandpa (2016) A running gag in "Dirty Grandpa" involves Robert De Niro sticking his thumb in Zac Efron's butt. But to use that as a metaphor for watching this poor excuse for a comedy, would be to actually suggest there's any kind of spark. ‐ The Playlist
