| Dark Knight Rises, The | 2012 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - Though it may be very long, The Dark Knight Rises delivers on every spectrum: acting, writing, directing, cinematography, score, etc. It’s exactly what you could want in a summer blockbuster, and superhero movie, but it’s also exactly what you could want in a film that’s saying “adios” to all of its characters that it’s introduced to us for the past 7 years and it’s a legacy that I won’t forget. That’s for damn sure. |

| Invisible War, The | 2012 | 95 | 2 | (full review) |
| AVENGERS, The | 2012 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - The Avengers is pretty much everything you could expect it to be with fun action, great performances from this ensemble cast of characters that we all know and love, very funny screenplay, and just a reminder as to why nerds rule, and will never, ever go away. Best film of the year so far and a totally kick-ass ride from start to finish. Long live Marvel! |
| Les Miserables | 2012 | 90 | 4 | (full review) |
| Master, The | 2012 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - The Master could easily be a title that director P.T. Anderson is giving himself, because that is exactly what this guy is. Everything from the visuals, to the landscapes, to the score, to the performances, to the fully-developed story, to the religion movement; all are done with the masterful craft of Anderson and is sure to be one of the films to watch out for, come Oscar season. |

| Seven Psychopaths | 2012 | 85 | 11 | (full review) - Seven Psychopaths will take most viewers by surprise by how dark and sinister it can get, but most viewers will also find themselves having a ball with the excellent script, spirited ensemble, and a story that’s not only hilarious, but unpredictable in the way you have no idea where the hell it’s going to go. |
| Skyfall | 2012 | 85 | 11 | (full review) |
| 21 Jump Street | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - 21 Jump Street isn’t really doing anything to re-invent the buddy-action comedy wheel, but the chemistry between Hill and Tatum, the rapid fire humor, and the fresh and brutally realistic look at the present-day high school make this a comedy that actually will make you laugh consistently. |
| A Hijacking | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) |
| Argo | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Though it’s not as tense or electrifying as Affleck’s last two directorial efforts, Argo still works as a smart, funny, and entertaining thriller that covers a mission that not many people ever knew about, but was also a very important one by how it showed certain sides of the U.S. government working hand-in-hand with Hollywood in a slightly surreal, yet smart way. |
| Celeste And Jesse Forever | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Celeste and Jesse Forever may suffer from too many ideas and characters but never feels too jumbled up due to a great script that shows the emotional turmoil you go through during heartbreak, as well as what can happen to one person when they realize that the person they got rid of in the first place, was probably the best person for them in the end. |
| Chronicle | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Chronicle isn’t anything ground-breaking or new but the whole found-footage format works in its favor with a smart script, fast-paced vibe, and amazing performances by all three of these young dudes who do have bright futures in Hollywood, but then again, you never know. |
| Cloud Atlas | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Cloud Atlas is a very, very long movie that’s filled with plenty of stories, plenty of characters, and plenty of ambitions that it’s set for itself, but is also a very entertaining and beautiful movie to watch as it never really leaves you bored when it’s all over. It may not be the most emotionally-impacting viewing-experience you’ll have this year, but it’s a great watch that will probably take-up half of your day. But, in a good way at least. |
| Compliance | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Though it gets a bit light on the whole tension aspect by the end, Compliance is still a smartly-written and expertly-acted real-life mystery thriller, that feels like it has the rhythm of a horror movie but plays to the beat of an honest, human-drama that shows the way us human-beings think. |
| Expendables 2, The | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - While it doesn’t win any points in its character development, emotional story, or incredibly original writing, The Expendables 2 wins mucho points in providing plenty of kick-ass action, a look at some of the greatest action stars in the biz, and a fun time at the movie theaters that gives us one last bang for the Summer. Sucks to say it, but it’s just about over people and what a way to go out. |
| Flight | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Robert Zemeckis definitely loses himself by the end of Flight, mainly because he gives into what Hollywood likes to consider “happy”, but still features a top-notch performance from Denzel Washington, in one of the best character-studies of the year and in one of the better performances I have seen so-far. Not a perfect movie, but still a very good one none the less. |
| Hunger Games, The | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) |
| Jack Reacher | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) |
| John Carter | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - John Carter has certain problems with its central performance from Kitsch and its over-abundance on plot, but what does work is the fact that Andrew Stanton has done nothing here but make a beautiful and stunning flick with a lot action, excitement, humor, and everything else that makes a sci-fi blockbuster work. I hope it gets all of its money back but that seems pretty far-fetched right now. |
| Lawless | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - There’s nothing new or original about this take on a pair of bootleggers in the 30′s, but Lawless still provides a good story, with some very good performances from the ensemble cast, and plenty of action and violence to satisfy anybody’s late-Summer needs. Just make sure that THIS Tom Hardy doesn’t tell The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy you weren’t fully satisfied, then you may be screwed. |

| Paranormal Activity 4 | 2012 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Though it’s definitely the most unoriginal and blandest entry of the whole series, PA 4 still has fun with itself in terms of scares, chills, and overall fun atmosphere that never ceases to stop me from having a good olde time. PA 5? I think so. Let’s just hope they try some new, cool stuff this time around. |

| American Reunion | 2012 | 75 | 42 | (full review) - Though it can drag on too long, American Reunion is still a great way to bring back the lovable and original cast with its usual, funny humor and some ounce of sympathy that makes us feel more about what may happen to us in the future and what we may be seeing at our next high school reunion. But it’s also great to just see all of the characters and cast return, especially if you loved the original American Pie. |

| Dredd 3D | 2012 | 75 | 42 | (full review) |
| End of Watch | 2012 | 75 | 42 | (full review) - Even though End of Watch suffers when it feels the need to stay within the conventions of your usual cop-drama, it still benefits from the amazing chemistry between the two leads, that make these characters more interesting, more entertaining to watch, and two people that we want to see live on at the end of the story. |

| Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The (2012) | 2012 | 75 | 42 | (full review) - Though Jackson does tread in familiar-territory that we all know what to expect and get out of an experience like his return to Middle Earth, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is still fun and entertaining to watch, even if the whole idea of being filmed in 48fps can get a bit tiresome over time. After awhile, you do begin to get used to it but in my opinion, to avoid any distractions to the human-eye whatsoever, just give this baby a whirl in 3D, or regular 2D, especially if you want to save some moolah. |

| Brave | 2012 | 70 | 55 | (full review) - Brave definitely has some nice heart, humor, and beautiful visuals to show off, but it’s not Pixar’s best because of a surprising plot twist that takes it right into kiddie material, which wouldn’t be all that bad if it wasn’t any other flick. However, it is Pixar and the bar has been raised a little too high for them to do something like this, and almost get away with. |

| Lorax, The | 2012 | 70 | 55 | (full review) - The Lorax may run into problems about getting a little too political with its message, but the talented cast and beautiful visuals keep this film going even when the story seems to slow down. |
| Men In Black 3 | 2012 | 70 | 55 | (full review) - Men in Black III may not be a threequel we needed to see nor does it bring anything new to this almost-forgotten franchise, but it does bring a lot of kid-oriented fun to it, with charming performances from the cast, a breezy pace, and a nice mixture of comedy and action that will remind you as to why this franchise worked so well in the first place. |

| Sinister | 2012 | 70 | 55 | (full review) - With a great sense of dread, fun, and suspense to it, Sinister comes off as being a better horror flick than what we are used to seeing, but still doesn’t fall short of being a little silly here and there, or by falling for the typical conventions we are used to seeing with horror movies in today’s world. |

| Arbitrage | 2012 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Contraband | 2012 | 65 | 72 | (full review) - Contraband features many problems with its script, tone, and annoying camera issues, but the cast somehow rise above the material and make this crime/thriller/action/heist/drama flick a very entertaining, if flawed one to say the least. But hey, it’s January and I was at least entertained rather than feeling depressed. |
| Five-Year Engagement, The | 2012 | 65 | 72 | (full review) - The tone may be a disjointed, the laughs may not be constant, and the run-time may be about 30 minutes too long, but The Five-Year Engagement still entertains enough with it’s very funny laughs, and it’s charming leads, that are backed by an amazing supporting cast that steals the scenes almost every chance they get. |

| Anna Karenina | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) |
| Campaign, The | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) - Though it’s satire never fully takes a bite, The Campaign still features a fun cast and a funny bunch of moments that are worth to see, if only for the two leads themselves. |
| Dictator, The | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) - At a swift 82 minutes (including credits), The Dictator doesn’t over-stay its welcome and shows that Cohen is still able to make his raunchy, mean, and offensive brand of comedy work despite pulling out of some very key comedy moments that would have really taken this to be more of a satire, and not just another ordinary, Hollywood comedy. |
| Here Comes the Boom | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) - It’s predictable, obvious, cliched, and tries a tad too hard to be funny, but Here Comes the Boom still seems to have plenty of fun with itself, it’s cast, and it’s story that comes off as more passionate and heartfelt than you would expect from your usual James vehicle. |
| Lockout | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) - Predictable, dumb, and unoriginal, Lockout barely has any of the elements that makes a good, if memorable, sci-fi flick but with a reliable cast, quick pace, and fun action to boot, it doesn’t do so bad when it comes to just killing some time. |
| Man with the Iron Fists, The | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) |

| Paperboy, The | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) |
| Pitch Perfect | 2012 | 60 | 80 | (full review) - Pitch Perfect has a very boring center and very predictable story to tell, but still kept me laughing with everything they threw at us, especially some of the most enjoyable singing performances I have heard in a film in a long, long time. |

| Bachelorette | 2012 | 55 | 92 | (full review) |
| Friends with Kids | 2012 | 55 | 92 | (full review) - Friends with Kids has some good insight, some funny moments, and a good ensemble that works well with this material, but it ends up falling into conventions that not only take away from the first hour but also make Westfeldt’s sloppiness as a director show up a lot more. |
| Man On A Ledge | 2012 | 55 | 92 | (full review) |
| Taken 2 | 2012 | 55 | 92 | (full review) - Taken 2 is your typical unneeded, stupid, and unintentionally sequel that seems to get pushed-out every couple of times a year, but for this time, it’s actually fun and keeps your eyes moving along with the quick-fire pace at 91 minutes of pure adrenaline fun, and Liam Neeson bad-assery. |

| Words, The | 2012 | 55 | 92 | (full review) |
| Act of Valor | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) |
| Amazing Spider-Man, The | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) - The Amazing Spider-Man is exactly what you come to expect from a superhero flick: fun, action-packed, wild and crazy set pieces, baddies doing bad things, goodies doing good things, romantic love story, and some little shots of humor to liven everything up. Problem is, this is a reboot of a series that has already had its movies, and were ones that still stay stuck in my mind no matter what. |
| Casa De Mi Padre | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) - Casa de Mi Padre features some very funny moments that will either leave you crying or just chuckling thinking about it long after the movie is over, but there are times where the jokes seem to go on for too long and the fact that it isn’t consistently funny may be a bit of a draw-back, especially when you consider that Will Ferrell is in it. |
| Hotel Transylvania | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) - Even though it is your typical, kiddie fare with jokes that will have them howling, Hotel Transylvania is still a fun and entertaining flick with a great look of animation, interesting story, and a voice cast that handles all of their material well. |
| Hyde Park On Hudson | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) |
| Nobody Walks | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) |
| Odd Life of Timothy Green, The | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) - Though it is well-acted and features a nice message for the whole family, The Odd Life of Timothy Green just doesn’t bring any surprises, emotional resonance, or any type of extravagant characters to hold onto. Still, it’s bearable to sit through and won’t kill you to check out on a rainy, Sunday afternoon. |
| Premium Rush | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) - Premium Rush gives the audience the type of escapism fun that they need around the dog days of August, but almost ruins itself with a convoluted plot, over-the-top acting from Shannon, and a terrible script that just gets worse and worse as it goes along, almost until the point of where you just want these people to just ride their freakin’ bikes and shut the hell up! |
| Quartet | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) |
| Wrath of the Titans | 2012 | 50 | 98 | (full review) |
| Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter | 2012 | 45 | 108 | (full review) - You’re enjoyment level of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, will most likely depend on whether or not you are able to accept that title and it’s wild premise, but if you can, it’s fun, crazy, filled with memorable action, and has a nice leading role from Benjamin Walker. |
| Alex Cross | 2012 | 40 | 109 | (full review) - Alex Cross is what you expect from any conventional/unoriginal detective-movie that feels like it could have been so much better, but just isn’t because of it’s lazy-direction, under-written roles that feels like a big waste of time for the talent that’s in them, and an incredible over-use of the “crack-cam” that I always hate to see in movies, except for The Bourne Ultimatum, but I’m going to act like I didn’t even mention that movie in the review for this one. |
| Dark Shadows | 2012 | 40 | 109 | (full review) - Definitely has some moments that are funny and very cool to look at, but as a whole, squanders a original premise with annoying jokes, loses its comedic edge with it’s semi-serious tone, and lets a great ensemble cast like this, do nothing other than play second-fiddle to the Tim Burton and Johnny Depp freak show. |

| Being Flynn | 2012 | 30 | 112 | (full review) |
| Chasing Mavericks | 2012 | 30 | 112 | (full review) - Though the surf culture will probably eat this movie up from start-to-finish (if they can remember it), Chasing Mavericks is still not a film that’s worth seeing by others because of it’s thinly-written characters, lack of energy, and nothing to really grab-on to and take ahold of you. It’s just there, and that’s pretty much it. |
| Passion | 2012 | 30 | 112 | (full review) |
| Red Dawn (2012) | 2012 | 25 | 115 | (full review) |
| Battleship | 2012 | 20 | 116 | (full review) - Battleship definitely thrills with it’s loud explosions and fun direction from Peter Berg, but the script takes away from everything else with its overt silliness, lines that seem like they are jokes in and of itself, and characters that don’t make any sense but are just here to give us people to care about and root on to win the good fight. Michael Bay will be back people, get ready. |
| Cosmopolis | 2012 | 20 | 116 | (full review) - Cosmopolis may be a very thought-provoking and smart thing to read on-paper, but being adapted into a feature film just doesn’t cut it because of the dull performances from everybody involved, the uninteresting direction that Cronenberg goes for and succeeds in, sadly, and the ideas and insight into the world we live in that seem very current, but just don’t bring anything new to what we have already heard before. |

| 50/50 | 2011 | 90 | 1 | (full review) - Cancer and comedy may be a hard subject to make watchable, but 50/50 does that perfectly. With great acting from the whole cast, hilarious moments, and as well as some tender ones as well, this film creates a story that almost seems like real-life with characters that are all perfectly fleshed out. |

| Muppets | 2011 | 90 | 8 | (full review) |
| Paranormal Activity 3 | 2011 | 90 | 8 | (full review) - Paranormal Activity 3 is basically the same film as every single other one that came before it, with a lot more insane scares, questions brought up, and more tension than ever before thanks to the new directors on-hand. |
| Super 8 | 2011 | 90 | 8 | (full review) - Some may be annoyed from the constant nostalgia feel of this film, but Super 8 is a J.J. Abrams’ beautiful homage to all of the old Spielberg films of the 80′s with a great screenplay that is funny and emotional, fun action, and just reminds us what Summer blockbusters should always be like. |
| Tree of Life, The | 2011 | 90 | 8 | (full review) - Though it’s not for everybody, The Tree of Life is a beautiful and gorgeous flick done by Terrence Malick who not only gives us wonderful visuals to gaze at, but also a story to follow and relate to (not talking about the dinosaurs) and performances to watch and admire (minus Sean Penn). |
| Young Adult | 2011 | 90 | 8 | (full review) - Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman re-team once again for Young Adult and make it not only a funny, if uncomfortable comedy, but also a realistic and slightly moving story anchored by one of Theron’s best performances she’s given in a long time. |
| Cabin in the Woods, The | 2011 | 85 | 14 | (full review) - The Cabin in the Woods is definitely one of the funnest horror movies to come out in some time with it’s twisty and unpredictable writing, tongue-in-cheek humor that works, and a whole fun feel to it that will definitely not disappoint anyone whether or not you like horror movies. |

| Cedar Rapids | 2011 | 80 | 31 | (full review) - Though it is generic as well as less and less surprising as it goes on, Cedar Rapids brings out a lot of raunchy laughs, mainly from it’s cast but also from it’s well-written script that has that R-rated comedy appeal as well as an endearing sweetness to it as well. |
| Conan O'Brien Can't Stop | 2011 | 80 | 31 | (full review) - Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop is entertaining because it shows a lot what goes on back-stage and on-the-stage with plenty of funny moments, real showings of human emotions, and a lot of O’Brien just being himself which is a delight to see in the first place. |

| Goon | 2011 | 80 | 31 | (full review) - Goon isn’t perfect but that’s not the point, it’s supposed to be a funny, violent, and entertaining hockey flick that features not only the goriest fight sequences I have ever seen in a hockey film, let alone sports flick, but also has a lot more heart to its story than the trailers, posters, and even its talent involved may have you expect. If you love hockey, definitely give this a try. |

| Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (American) | 2011 | 75 | 49 | (full review) - If you have seen the original, everything here may feel a bit familiar and old, but with Fincer’s version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo you don’t know what to expect with some great tension, non-stop fast pace, and great performances from the whole cast, especially Mara who shows her total role commitment and deserves some type of recognition come February. |
| Killer Joe | 2011 | 75 | 49 | (full review) |
| Snowtown | 2011 | 75 | 49 | (full review) |

| War Horse | 2011 | 75 | 49 | (full review) |
| 30 Minutes Or Less | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - Though it’s comedy gets a little lost and the film itself takes a little bit of awhile to get going, 30 Minutes or Less is still very funny with lowbrow humor rather than just raunchy jokes, a talented cast, and a slick time limit that keeps this film moving along as more and more fun ensues. |
| Arthur Christmas | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) |
| Bridesmaids | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - Although it doesn’t work as a good structure for its story, Bridesmaids still has some very good performances from a very funny cast, that gives this material more laughing power, even when it does start to seem over-long. |
| Change-Up, The | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - The plot turns into some sympathetic and formulaic crap that kind knocks the comedy down more and more, but The Change-Up still has it’s fair shares of totally raunchy, dirty, and just downright wrong jokes that actually work mainly thanks to the very great performances from Reynolds and Bateman. |
| Contagion | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - Contagion has an impressive ensemble and makes you feel as if you are in a world of fear and panic during this epidemic, but you never actually feel totally involved with this story, and more of just a watcher of Soderbergh’s annoying way of showing how much cool science stuff he knows. |
| Drive | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - Drive has moments where it absolutely works with it’s stylish direction from Nicolas Winding Refn, great performances from the cast, especially Gosling, and some bloody and thrilling flashes of violence, but too much of it feels slow and features conversations that are more boring than one you would have with a wall. |
| Fast Five | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) |
| Help, The | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) |
| Horrible Bosses | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - The script’s laughs relies too much on weak punch-lines, conversational comedy, and a script that could have focused more on the solid premise, but much thanks to the great cast full of big-names and some funny laughs, Horrible Bosses is funnier than a lot of recent buddy-films that have come out. Also, totally relatable because who hasn’t ever had a horrible boss that they haven’t ever had wanting to kill? |
| Ides of March | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - Though there are a lot of messy things about The Ides of March, Clooney makes up for it with a very interesting story that gets better as the film goes along, and a cast full of great star that bring so much to each of their characters. |
| Margaret | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) |
| Paul | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) - People may not understand many of the many science fiction references that inhabit this film, but they still will get a chuckle out of this sweet, and funny screenplay, with a great cast. However, you do feel that it could have been better given the talent involved. |
| Skin I Live In, The (La piel que habito) | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) |
| Tabloid | 2011 | 70 | 58 | (full review) |
| Adventures of Tintin, The | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) - The Adventures of Tintin still seems weird with the motion-capture animation and constantly moving plot, but where this film makes up for that is in its script that is full of mystery and humor, and a Spielberg direction that calls back his old Indiana Jones days that still works all of these years later. |
| Beaver, The | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Damsels in Distress | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Friends with Benefits | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) - Friends with Benefits is a funny, well-written, and well-acted rom-com that actually uses it’s two leads perfectly as their chemistry holds the whole film until the film itself succumbs to the cliches that lie within the genre. But in the end I guess it’s all about how the film gets from point A to point B is what really counts. |
| Hanna | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Haywire | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Hobo with a Shotgun | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Hunter, The | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) - The Hunter features a very slow, but melodic pace, with great performances from the small cast and beautiful cinematography. However, when it steps away from the forest, the film tries too hard to get emotional on us and it just ends up being more forced than anything else. |
| Immortals | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) - Visionary director Tarsem Singh brings so many colorful, vibrant, beautiful, and larger-than-life sets to this film that it almost makes Immortals feel like some sort of dream filled with bloody and fun action, but also a lame script and long moments of boredom in between all of the slashing and killing. |
| J. Edgar | 2011 | 65 | 72 | (full review) |
| Another Earth | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) |
| Captain America: The First Avenger | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) - With a couple of writing brush-ups, Captain America: The First Avenger could have been even better, but instead works with awesome visuals, kick-ass action, and some very good performances that really add so much more to this film and get you even more pumped up for The Avengers film. |
| Crazy, Stupid, Love | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) - There are moments here that seem incredibly intelligent while others just have you shake your head at the predictable cheesy moments that take so much away from Crazy, Stupid, Love. despite an amazing cast and good moments of being smarter than other rom-com’s out there. |
| Final Destination 5 | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) |
| Larry Crowne | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) - With it’s problem’s of being way too cute for no reason, Larry Crowne may not be the funniest thing to see, but the cast, especially an always likable Hanks, a cool and relaxed pace, and good themes make this a good watch for people who just had their mid-life crisis’, as well as for people who just want a smile. |
| Limitless | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) - Director Neil Burger uses a lot of different and crazy visuals to effectively create a state of mind when on drugs, and Bradley Cooper is good in this lead role, but the script lets-down Limitless with its many missed opportunities, and confusing outcomes. |
| Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides | 2011 | 60 | 82 | (full review) |
| 360 | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) - With an exceptional amount of good stories and performances from this large, cultural cast, 360 does deliver on giving us a drama that keeps our attention but when it comes to providing us with some major issues and themes about the world we live in where sex is everywhere? Nope, not really there. |
| Fright Night (2011) | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) |
| Hall Pass | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) - The laughs aren’t non-stop like you would expect from an idea like this, and the sub-plot is terribly boring, but the cast does a good job with this script, and the jokes did somehow have me laughing, which makes Hall Pass a nice return for The Farrelly Brothers. |
| In Time | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) |
| Martha Marcy May Marlene | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) |
| Puncture | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) |
| Thing, The (2011) | 2011 | 55 | 89 | (full review) |
| Adjustment Bureau | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - The tone may be all over-the-place, and the premise doesn’t go the extra mile it could have, but the script is nice, and the overall genuine chemistry between Damon and Blunt has us really involved with this story. |
| Anonymous | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - Anonymous has its fair share of flaws, but also has some great qualities with some great performances, an interesting story that benefits from some smart theories, and has Roland Emmerich on top of his game doing something else other than just blowing up the world, one blockbuster at a time. |
| Bad Teacher | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - Here and there, Bad Teacher had me laughing, but not as much as I thought it would have because it goes into predictable, if not cheesy territories, and just doesn’t really push the envelope when it comes to it’s comedy. Still, the cast makes this a somewhat enjoyable dark comedy. |
| Butter | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - Butter has some delightful moments and features a fine cast, except for Jennifer Garner who is annoying to watch and listen to, but never goes down to those deep deaths of hell that they call satire and decides to play it safe with it’ story and what it is essentially poking jokes at. |
| Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) |
| Green Hornet, The | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - The Green Hornet has moments of fun, with good comedy and stylish action, but the script lets down this cast, and promised us a new take on the superhero genre, even though it turns out to be the same as they all are, and you can’t help thinking this could have been so much better given the talent involved. |
| Green Lantern | 2011 | 50 | 96 | |
| Hangover Part II, The | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - There is a more darker, meaner, and grittier tone than the first, but there are still not as many surprises nor as many of actual humor here at all. The Hangover: Part II is just a remake of the first with a few chuckles, but nothing else really new to bring to the table. |
| Jeff, Who Lives At Home | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) |
| My Week with Marilyn | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) |
| Our Idiot Brother | 2011 | 50 | 96 | (full review) - Paul Rudd is charming and the film has it’s fair shares of sweet moments, but Our Idiot Brother is too thinly written, too serious, and just too much of a huge comedic let-down to actually be one of the most memorable comedies I have ever seen, but it’s just OK. |
| Cowboys & Aliens | 2011 | 45 | 107 | (full review) - Though it promised so much more, Cowboys & Aliens has some good action sequences and gives us what we see in the title, but suffers from writing that doesn’t bring anything new to the table and brings us constant cliches, bad one-liners, and an overall feel of disappointment because we know this could have been so much more wild than what we got. You got Han Solo and James Bond loading up their guns looking to shoot some aliens, how hard could it have been!?!? |

| Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The | 2011 | 30 | 110 | (full review) |
| What's Your Number? | 2011 | 30 | 110 | (full review) |
| Jack and Jill | 2011 | 25 | 113 | (full review) - Jack and Jill had chuckles mostly thanks to Al Pacino, but other than that is just not funny because Jill is incredibly unlikable and just a person that nobody would ever want to be around, let alone her own brother. |
| No Strings Attached | 2011 | 25 | 113 | (full review) - The cast tries their best with whatever they can do, but the script brings No Strings Attached down way too many notches, with it’s bad jokes, and very mushy romance that isn’t very appealing. Rent Love & Other Drugs instead. |
| Red Riding Hood | 2011 | 25 | 113 | (full review) |
| The Sitter | 2011 | 15 | 116 | (full review) |
| Apollo 18 | 2011 | 10 | 117 | (full review) - Apollo 18 is boring beyond belief without any real thrills to hold you over, or any real sense of fun with this flick considering they try so hard to make it seem real, and in the end just seems like another cheap attempt on hitting big with the “found-footage” genre. |
| Intruders | 2011 | 10 | 117 | (full review) |

| Social Network, The | 2010 | 95 | 2 | (full review) - When it comes to modern film-making at its finest, The Social Network, is brilliantly directed, written, and acted, but will also be a 21st Century defining film, for the years to come. |

| Black Swan | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| Blue Valentine | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - As emotionally raw as you can get, Blue Valentine portrays the dark side of love, with an impressive direction from Cianfrance, and heart-wrenching performances from Gosling, and Williams. |
| Buried | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| I Saw The Devil (Akmareul boatda) | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| Paranormal Activity 2 | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - This film doesn’t change the horror genre by any means, but it does offer up the scary happenings, premise, and effects that had us watching the first. |
| Scott Pilgrim vs The World | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| Town, The | 2010 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - Directed with plenty of suspense, and thrills, to keep you on the edge of your seat, and excited, as well as provide a great character story, that has even better actors attached. |
| Animal Kingdom | 2010 | 85 | 14 | (full review) |
| Beginners | 2010 | 85 | 14 | (full review) - With a real heart at the center of its funky story, Beginners is a well-acted, gentle, funny, and moving portrait about it never being too late to have love in your life, no matter how old or young. |
| Date Night | 2010 | 85 | 14 | (full review) - Though its plot is familiar, Date Night blends a great deal of action with hilarious humor, that wouldn’t have been the same if it were not for Fey, Carell, and countless others in cameo roles. |
| Fighter, The | 2010 | 85 | 14 | (full review) - The Fighter may be a story you have seen before, but the inspired direction, and amazing ensemble performances from this cast, make this treat, a fun-filled, entertaining boxing movie, that made us realize we missed this genre too much. |
| How To Train Your Dragon | 2010 | 85 | 14 | (full review) - Although not as memorable as other animated films that have came out in the past couple of years, How To Train Your Dragon still impresses with its great story, that has effective emotional depth, and enchanting visuals, that keep you watching. |
| Biutiful | 2010 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - Biutiful is a disgusting film that gets preachy at times and will leave many people sick after watching it, but the story is engrossing and you feel for this character, mainly because Bardem is just so amazing here that it’s hard not to stand behind this guy. See it once, and say you have, but never feel the need to actually watch it again. |
| Book of Eli | 2010 | 80 | 19 | (full review) |
| Everything Must Go | 2010 | 80 | 19 | (full review) - People expecting another Will Ferrell laugh-out-loud comedy will probably be disappointed, but anyone who wants a sad, but inspirational story, featuring plenty of touching moments and good performances from the cast, will probably feel happy with the final product they have here with Everything Must Go. |

| Cold Weather | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) |
| Cyrus | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - Cyrus suffers from some annoying indie problems, but it features a simple story with heart, awkward humor, and performances from the whole cast that feel genuine and perfectly picked for each of their characters. |
| Expendables, The | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - The Expendables, may have a bad plot, and problems with its script, but it does provide plenty of the action it promised, and the cast still does provide plenty of fun for everybody. |
| Hot Tub Time Machine | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - Don’t expect any sense or reality from this film, but Hot Tub Time Machine works cause of its non-stop laughs, that border along terrible raunch, and funny satire. |
| Iron Man 2 | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) |
| It's Kind Of A Funny Story | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - It’s Kind of a Funny Story is pretty funny, entertaining, and features a lot of heart as well, but it almost feels like it’s a little too scared to step into some very dark spots where I think it would have really worked a whole lot more if the directors and writers went that extra mile. |
| Jack Goes Boating | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) |
| Kids Are All Right, The | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - The story isn’t as effective as I was expecting, and the plot feels a little all too familiar, but the characters are rich, and the performances keep this film running, even though you want more. |
| Love and Other Drugs | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - It may be a bit un-even at plenty of points, and loses itself by the end, but the chemistry between the leads, and a nice balance between heart, and humor, makes this romantic comedy, a good one to say the least. |
| Never Let Me Go | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - If you are in happy mood and want to keep that going, then don’t check out Never Let Me Go, because it is sad, empty (in many ways), and doesn’t have any real moments of shining suns in the sky, but it is also beautiful to look at, a very moody piece that can really put you into its setting, and features a fine young cast that does a great job with all that their given. |
| Other Guys, The | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) - The Other Guys may not know what to do by the last act, so they just add unbelievable satire, and random explosions. However, the cast is hilarious, with a great amount of consistent laughs. |
| RED | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) |
| SALT | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) |

| The Trip | 2010 | 70 | 33 | (full review) |
| Dinner for Schmucks | 2010 | 65 | 48 | (full review) - The tone may be a little shifty and the central message is very strange as well, but Dinner For Schmucks has a hilarious cast, some very funny moments, and an unabashed sweetness to it that actually brings much more heart to this material than I actually expected. |
| Killer Inside Me, The | 2010 | 65 | 48 | (full review) |
| Middle Men | 2010 | 65 | 48 | (full review) - Some of it is a bit messy, and a bit disjointed, but Middle Men also features some very good writing that gives us great detail about internet porn, while still providing good performances from the whole cast, especially Luke Wilson who shows that he can handle a film well too. |
| Monsters | 2010 | 65 | 48 | (full review) |
| Piranha (2010) | 2010 | 65 | 48 | (full review) - It could have been funnier and paced, however, Piranha 3-D made me realize that gore, blood, boobs, fish, and MTV tools all work out together well, no matter how campy the material may actually get. |
| TRON: Legacy | 2010 | 65 | 48 | (full review) |

| Tiny Furniture | 2010 | 60 | 54 | |
| American, The | 2010 | 55 | 60 | (full review) - The American features some beautiful sights, a slow but tense pace, and a different but good performance from George Clooney, but has too many scenes where they didn’t feel needed and a bit disjointed, which doesn’t do much for the whole character study aspect of this script. |
| Conspirator, The | 2010 | 55 | 60 | (full review) |
| Losers, The | 2010 | 55 | 60 | |
| The Runaways | 2010 | 55 | 60 | (full review) |
| Clash of the Titans (2010) | 2010 | 50 | 64 | (full review) |
| Despicable Me | 2010 | 50 | 64 | (full review) - Despicable Me has great-looking animation and some chuckles here and there, but overall it’s too centered towards kids, predictable by the end, and just an animated film that doesn’t do much else different than what we have already seen done before and better from far-superior Pixar films. |
| Hesher | 2010 | 50 | 64 | (full review) |
| Jonah Hex (2010 live action) | 2010 | 50 | 64 | (full review) |
| Morning Glory | 2010 | 50 | 64 | (full review) |
| Get Him To The Greek | 2010 | 40 | 69 | (full review) - There are some laughs here, much ado to the amazing cast here, but there is too much random raunch that seems put there to make crazy situations, seem even crazier, and the sweetness by the end doesn’t seem real. |
| Grown Ups | 2010 | 40 | 69 | (full review) - Grown Ups at its best is just a mindless family comedy, kind of, that has some funny moments mostly because of its cast, but the jokes, and lame script just weigh everything down to a point of where you don’t know if your supposed to laugh. |
| Last Exorcism, The | 2010 | 40 | 69 | (full review) - The Last Exorcism features some thrills and two good performances from this cast, but overall features too much silly writing that totally loses itself by the end, and a low-budget direction that actually makes this film seem less realistic and more of just an indie production. |
| Chloe | 2010 | 35 | 72 | (full review) |
| Alice In Wonderland (2010 - Johnny Depp) | 2010 | 25 | 73 | (full review) |
| Cop Out | 2010 | 15 | 74 | (full review) - The gags are stale, the jokes are unfunny, and the action makes you want to yawn. To call Cop Out unwatchable is an understatement, this is just total shit, and it really is sad to see from a Kevin Smith fan’s standpoint, that this was actually done by him. |

| An Education | 2009 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |
| District 9 | 2009 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - District 9 has some very obvious plot holes, but is brings up many good points, and will leave you emotionally distraught with enough action to keep you on your seat amazed at how real it looks. |
| Funny People | 2009 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Funny People is consistently funny, as well as being heart-felt, with great performances from the whole cast, even though the last act may take some away, and not very inspired direction. |
| Hangover, The | 2009 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - The Hangover is exactly what everybody says it is, a laugh-out-loud riot, with instant quotable lines, and crazy situations that will have you laughing for days on end. The perfect guy’s film with an amazing cast, that will keep your interest the whole adventure. Let’s just hope this second one, doesn’t blow as much as I think it will. |
| Inglourious Basterds | 2009 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Though some viewers will be thrown off by a lot of the talking, Quentin Tarantino still has that masterful mind to have viewers thoroughly enjoyed by his amazing script, non-stop suspense, and great acting from the cast that looks like their all just having a great time. |
| Up in the Air | 2009 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Up in the Air may start to slow down by the end, however, is highly entertaining with its great script, with enough funny moments, and dramatic moments, that are provided by incredibly strong performances from the three leads. |

| Harry Brown | 2009 | 85 | 10 | (full review) |
| I Love You Phillip Morris | 2009 | 85 | 10 | (full review) - Despite its flaws, I Love You Phillip Morris is a funny, fact-based, romantic comedy, that doesn’t exploit the homosexual love, and instead keeps it cute, with Carrey and McGregor doing great jobs in the leads. |
| Moon | 2009 | 85 | 10 | (full review) |
| Precious | 2009 | 85 | 10 | (full review) |
| A Single Man | 2009 | 80 | 17 | (full review) |
| Avatar | 2009 | 80 | 17 | (full review) - Avatar has beautifully enchanting visuals, very effective performances, and an exciting if done before story, that has us forgetting about the real world we live in, with such a beautiful way. |
| Black Dynamite | 2009 | 80 | 17 | (full review) - Black Dynamite may have jokes that run on too long, but the jokes are still hilarious, and work so well with this parody/homage to the 1970s blaxsploitation movies because it never takes itself too seriously and always is moving at a rapid pace. |
| Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day | 2009 | 80 | 17 | (full review) |

| Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Swedish - Män som hatar kvinnor) | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) |
| I Love You Man | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) - With a simple premise, the cast uplifts this film with its perfect comedic performances, and the fact that it’s just a great time to watch and have fun. |
| Invictus | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) - Slow Paced and highly predictable, Invictus offers delightful performances from Damon and Freeman with inspiration, but isn’t Eastwood’s best work. |
| Mother and Child | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) |
| Public Enemies | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) - There are obvious faults here within Public Enemies, but they are somehow over-shadowed, by the great action sequences, and wonderful performances from the cast, minus Bale. |
| The Joneses | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) |
| True Adolescents | 2009 | 70 | 31 | (full review) |

| Fantastic Mr. Fox | 2009 | 60 | 47 | (full review) - Fantastic Mr. Fox is cute, at times funny, and visually splendid. I just didn’t feel like the jokes were too flattering, and the voices could have been a bit better. |
| Fast And Furious | 2009 | 60 | 47 | (full review) - The plot may be ludicrous, and the writing is the usual cheesy and predictable fare we have come to known of these films, but director Justin Lin brings back the old gang with awesome action sequences, and a different style of telling this story. |
| Invention of Lying, The | 2009 | 60 | 47 | (full review) |

| Men Who Stare At Goats, The | 2009 | 50 | 58 | (full review) - A future cult classic, The Men Who Stare at Goats could have been better given the right tone, touch, and writing, but still has enough funny moments, with enough good performance to satisfy, though it still disappoints. |
| Youth in Revolt | 2009 | 50 | 58 | (full review) |
| Adventureland | 2009 | 45 | 60 | (full review) - Adventureland has a nicer and sweeter tone than most teen comedies, and some fun in the script, but it doesn’t have as much as fun as I think it could have, and ultimately just feels forgettable, except for the memory of the awesome Lou Reed song. |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine | 2009 | 45 | 60 | (full review) |
| G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra | 2009 | 40 | 62 | (full review) - The action and mayhem is in your face and keeps your eyes glued to the screen but the cheesy liners delivered by some horrendous acting just makes this film another big-budget summer movie. |
| Hes Just Not That Into You | 2009 | 40 | 62 | (full review) - He’s Just Not That into You, could have been an important film about relationships, instead is dry, cliched beyond belief, and has some charming performances, but most seem wooden. |
| The International | 2009 | 40 | 62 | (full review) |
| Coraline | 2009 | 35 | 65 | (full review) - Coraline may look good, but it’s stretch of the PG rating, and deep, dark story, just adds on worse to the slow pace. |

| Couples Retreat | 2009 | 25 | 74 | (full review) - Though with it’s moments, Couple Retreat seems very lazy, and not very funny nor very providing on relationships and couples. |
| Knowing | 2009 | 25 | 74 | (full review) |
| The Limits of Control | 2009 | 20 | 76 | (full review) |
| G Force | 2009 | 15 | 77 | (full review) - This movie is crap, and barely even a good family movie. |
| Gamer | 2009 | 15 | 77 | (full review) - By taking a glorious amount of psychedelics beforehand one could actually have an enjoyable time with this crazy, all-over-the-place action thriller, but if sober, you may find yourself totally bored, annoyed, and just not entertained one bit by this dumb piece of failed satire. |

| Revolutionary Road | 2008 | 85 | 6 | (full review) - Revolutionary Road may not be the most entertaining film you have ever seen, but it features brilliant performances from the cast, and a fearless script that tackles all of the problems that couples go through, even though it may not be all happy in the end. |

| Cloverfield | 2008 | 70 | 19 | (full review) - Though it has problems with it’s script and the dumb things that usually are done by all characters in every single horror film, Cloverfield is well-filmed, scary, and at-times, clever gimmick. However, it’s a gimmick that works and makes you feel like you’re on a roller-coaster, including the nauseating side-effects. |

| Gran Torino | 2008 | 65 | 27 | (full review) - This may not be his best work, but Clint Eastwood does a great job on screen, with perfect presence, and a screenplay that shows humor, but also enough heart. |

| Bronson | 2008 | 45 | 43 | (full review) - Tom Hardy’s performance is purely amazing, and there are a lot of awesome ass-kicking scenes, but the script fails at actually being a story, or giving any insight into a real-life person I would have loved to know so much more about. |

| Seven Pounds | 2008 | 40 | 44 | (full review) |
| Bedtime Stories | 2008 | 30 | 47 | (full review) - Here and there was a couple of chuckles, mainly from the cast, but Bedtime Stories is a great kids movies, that may be too colorful, dull, and little heart, for the whole family to enjoy, especially the adults. |

| Vantage Point | 2008 | 30 | 47 | (full review) |
| Drillbit Taylor | 2008 | 20 | 50 | (full review) - Though it may have some funny moments, Drillbit Taylor has problems with it script, because it gets too carried away with bullying, and just doesn’t fit well in today’s world. |
| Promotion, The | 2008 | 20 | 50 | (full review) - The cast may be game, but The Promotion starts off original, then falls into cheap and forced laughs, backed by some disturbing moments by the end of the film. |
| Happening, The (2008) | 2008 | 5 | 52 | (full review) |
| Funny Games | 2007 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - Funny Games pushes boundaries against the conventional thriller and violence in media, with stunning performances, terrific writing, and so much suspense mixed with the creative direction from Haneke. |

| Ratatouille | 2007 | 95 | 2 | (full review) |
| Hot Fuzz | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Hot Fuzz is a lovable, entertaining, and very funny homage to the buddy-cop genre with plenty of in-jokes and hilarious performances and cameos that will just make the film better and more impressive as it goes along. |
| Into the Wild | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) |
| Juno | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) |
| Knocked Up | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Knocked Up may drag on, especially during its last act, but still gives a refreshing, if not raunchy, and hilarious look at child-bearing, and parenthood. But it all feels real, with realistic performances, and screenplay. |
| Paranormal Activity | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) |
| Superbad | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Superbad may be lean, mean, and without a doubt sick, and dirty as hell, but it’s hilarious, with a heart in the middle, and a perfect casting job, that will lead you on quoting this film for year’s to come. |
| There Will Be Blood | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) |
| Zodiac | 2007 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Zodiac is a film where barely anything happens, except for a lot of talking and investigation into a case that is still open today, but Fincher keeps this long flick totally entertaining, exciting, and tense with a great screenplay that dives right into the investigation itself, and show perfect performances by just about everybody involved. |

| 28 Weeks Later | 2007 | 75 | 24 | (full review) - 28 Weeks Later is definitely one of the better horror movie-sequels out there due to it’s grim atmosphere and mood, but still pales in comparison to what Danny Boyle was able to do with the original and the lasting-effect it’s material it had on you, in terms of horror and emotion. Please come back for one last movie, Danny, please. |

| Mist, The (2007) | 2007 | 75 | 24 | (full review) - The Mist is well-acted, tensely written and directed by Frank Darabont, but is a let-down with its ending, some plot holes in the script, and the unintentionally hilarious special effects. |
| American Gangster | 2007 | 70 | 30 | (full review) - The performances are great from all over the spectrum, and the direction from Ridley Scott makes this film a gritty but entertaining crime thriller, but never goes anywhere we haven’t seen before, and almost seems like a drag to get to the last scene that we all see coming. |
| Eastern Promises | 2007 | 70 | 30 | (full review) |
| Hot Rod | 2007 | 70 | 30 | (full review) |
| Lookout, The | 2007 | 70 | 30 | (full review) - The Lookout may run into some predictable territory by the end, but Scott Frank’s direction keeps this flick fun and entertaining, with plenty of good performances from this cast that makes every character seem even more well-rounded than the last. |

| Transformers | 2007 | 70 | 30 | (full review) |
| Darjeeling Limited | 2007 | 65 | 38 | (full review) - The Darjeeling Limited is well-acted and has its moments of pure drama and comedy, but everything feels too familiar with barely anything new or original to see here and the script is definitely one of Wes Anderson’s more uneven ones as of late. |

| Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, A | 2006 | 95 | 3 | (full review) |
| Half Nelson | 2006 | 95 | 3 | (full review) - Half Nelson is one of the most powerful films of the past decade, with brutal honesty, as well as true feelings, about hope, friendship, growing up, and drug addiction. Every note here is hit perfectly, mostly due to the performances from the cast, especially the spot-on Gosling. |
| Letters from Iwo Jima | 2006 | 95 | 3 | (full review) |
| Babel | 2006 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| Casino Royale | 2006 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - Casino Royale is by far one of the better Bond flicks with a star-making role from Daniel Craig, constant energy and action flying all about, and a new and improved look at Bond that we have yet to see from any other of the other films, which always works. |
| Children of Men | 2006 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - Children of Men may be a bit too dark and depressing for some viewers, but the future that director Alfonso Cuarón portrays is a dark, sad, and lonely time that he beautifully creates with great camera-work, compelling themes that add an extra layer to the story, and a couple of good performances from the cast, especially Clive Owen who has almost never been better. |

| After the Wedding | 2006 | 85 | 11 | (full review) |
| Departed, The | 2006 | 85 | 11 | (full review) - A fearless direction from Scorsese, perfect screenplay, and great acting makes The Departed a crime/mob classic for the ages. The ending may have not been the best way to go out for this film, but the whole film keeps your attention, and that is something that makes this a near-perfect film. |

| Volver | 2006 | 85 | 11 | (full review) |
| 300 | 2006 | 80 | 17 | (full review) - Not to be taken too seriously, 300 is a more of an orgy of violence and gore, rather than an actual history document, but will entertain the hell out of all dudes, as well as provide plenty and I do mean plenty of beautiful visuals. |

| Dreamgirls | 2006 | 80 | 17 | (full review) |
| Inside Man | 2006 | 80 | 17 | (full review) - Inside Man is not one of Lee’s best, and not like his others at all, for better or worse, but keeps you on your seat with its twists and turns, and great ensemble cast. |

| Red Road | 2006 | 80 | 17 | (full review) |
| Superman Returns | 2006 | 80 | 17 | (full review) - With an extra bit of attention to the heart and soul of its title character, Superman Returns works both as a silly, yet exciting superhero flick, as well as a tender look at the loneliness these kinds of characters embody. |

| Illusionist, The (2006) | 2006 | 70 | 31 | (full review) |
| Crank | 2006 | 60 | 33 | (full review) - Crank may have some slow parts here and there, but its still a fun, energetic, and not-so serious thrill ride that knows what it is and isn’t trying to be anything else. Also helps that you have Jason Statham in your lead role too but then again, that’s always a given. |
| Fido | 2006 | 60 | 33 | (full review) - The cast, comedy, and original premise make Fido a lot more entertaining, but it never goes the full distance to be flat-out gory, sick, twisted, or even scary for that matter, and that’s one of the most disappointing factors of this could-have-been comedy-horror classic. |

| Alpha Dog | 2006 | 45 | 45 | (full review) - Alpha Dog has some genuinely chilling and disturbing moments that are heightened by the whole ensemble cast that’s in this film, but too many times does this film get a little too laughable to take seriously and the characters just weren’t as likable except for two or three maybe. |

| 40 Year Old Virgin, The | 2005 | 85 | 6 | (full review) |
| Batman Begins | 2005 | 85 | 6 | (full review) - Batman Begins is not perfect but it’s a very dark, bleak, and serious type of superhero film that works due to it’s inspired direction from Christopher Nolan, and some awesome performances that all of the cast gives out, with the exception of Katie Holmes which was pretty predictable. |
| Good Night, and Good Luck. | 2005 | 85 | 6 | (full review) |
| King Kong (2005) | 2005 | 85 | 6 | (full review) |
| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang | 2005 | 85 | 6 | (full review) - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an original piece of work that combines mystery, crime, action, romance, and tongue-in-cheek comedy that works on almost every level especially with its great lead performances and gets me more and more excited to see what Black and Downey Jr. are going to do with ‘Iron Man 3′. |

| Thank You for Smoking | 2005 | 85 | 6 | (full review) |
| Family Stone, The | 2005 | 80 | 13 | (full review) - The ensemble is strong, and the writing has many funny moments, as well as touching, but the awkward shift in tone for this film provided too much confusion as to what it wanted to be. |

| Jarhead | 2005 | 75 | 21 | (full review) - Jarhead is definitely not the war flick for everyone, actually it’s very anti-war, but what sets this one apart is the direction from Mendes who gets inside the heads of these soldiers and shows what they’re going through, and also features a stand-out performance from Gyllenhaal, who is compelling the whole time. |

| Everything Is Illuminated | 2005 | 65 | 26 | (full review) |
| Hostel | 2005 | 65 | 26 | (full review) - Hostel proves to be extremely violent, filled with plenty of gore and guts, and shows that Eli Roth loves his creations, but its pacing is very mishandled, the characters weren’t very likable, and starts out very bad which lessens the effect of the film. |

| Oldboy (Oldeuboi - Korea) | 2003 | 95 | 2 | (full review) - Oldboy is an astonishing, full of originality, and well-acted, that goes past its revenge violent ways and delves into more deeper material about life and grace. |
| Finding Nemo | 2003 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |
| Kill Bill vol 1 | 2003 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Kill Bill: Volume 1 shows Tarantino in top-form with a style that is bloody, violent, vicious, and shows every single one of his influences in a way that not only shows what he loves but also creates a wholly original flick on its own. Definitely can’t wait to see Volume 2. |
| Lost in Translation | 2003 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |
| X2: X-Men United | 2003 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Despite some plot holes, X2 is a total improvement from the first showing a lot more action, special effects, and a more deeper and darker story-line that will take you by storm (pun intended) and won’t let you go until the credits are up. |

| Bad Santa | 2003 | 80 | 12 | (full review) - Though there are some moral voids in Bad Santa, there is still some very funny black comedy that works well with the plot, and with Billy Bob Thornton’s dark but somehow likable performance as Willie. |

| Last Samurai, The | 2003 | 80 | 12 | (full review) |
| Old School | 2003 | 80 | 12 | (full review) - Though not consistently funny, Old School still has perfect humor for all the raunch lovers, and also the witty comedy lovers too, that has just enough humor to satisfy all dudes who watch on. |

| American Wedding | 2003 | 75 | 22 | (full review) - American Wedding is exactly what you can expect from the 3rd flick of its series: gross-out humor, Stifler acting like an ass, and an under-lining sweetness. The problem with this one though is that it’s a little bit too much about Stifler and could have focused a lot more on Jim and Michelle, aka the two peeps who were actually getting married here. |

| Once Upon A Time In Mexico | 2003 | 65 | 28 | (full review) |
| Hulk (Eric Bana) | 2003 | 55 | 30 | (full review) - Director Ang Lee strives for ambition here with some dramatic depth to the story, good performances from the cast, and a beautiful, comic-book look to the film, but overall there’s too much talking and most of it just feels plain boring with not enough cool action sequences which makes me question how didn’t Lee know why Lee tried to aim for a Greek tragedy? |
| Whale Rider | 2003 | 55 | 30 | (full review) |
| 2 Fast 2 Furious | 2003 | 50 | 32 | (full review) - 2 Fast 2 Furious may be entertaining and have the same slick look the first one had, but the script brings this film and it’s cast way farther down. |
| Daredevil | 2003 | 50 | 32 | (full review) - Daredevil has a dark and gritty tone to go along with it and action scenes that contain plenty of energy, but the script is written too poorly to be any different from any of the other superhero flicks, except the fact that the superhero himself is a blind dude. I also think that this is one of the very rare, superhero stories that could have at least benefited from an R-rating. |

| 28 Days Later | 2002 | 95 | 2 | (full review) - Maybe, just maybe, I’m in the minority with this one but 28 Days Later is one of my favorite horror films of all-time. The world that Boyle paints is as devastating and frightening as it gets; the characters are more well-rounded and developed than the script actually gives them credit for; the scares and chills get to you by the utter feel of realism that shoots-out in every frame of this picture; and the message about who we are as humans and what we’ll do to live-on in life is as heartbreaking and brutally honest as it can get. Definitely go out there and see it, not just to be scared, but also to be a bit enlightened as well. |

| Bowling for Columbine | 2002 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| Lord of the Rings: Two Towers | 2002 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the second-installment that hits, and hits hard with enough emotions, action, and characters running through, that you feel like you have a full grip and feel of this story, what’s happening in it, and what’s to come of it in it’s grand, epic finale. Return of the King, here I come! |

| Count Of Monte Cristo (2002) | 2002 | 80 | 12 | (full review) - What you get with The Count of Monte Cristo is a good, entertaining, old-fashioned story about people wanting what they don’t deserve and going through hell to try and get it. |
| Panic Room | 2002 | 80 | 12 | (full review) - Panic Room may suffer from it’s script, but David Fincher creates suspenseful tension and makes this simple plot, better than just your average-thriller. |

| Gangs of New York | 2002 | 70 | 18 | (full review) |
| NARC | 2002 | 70 | 18 | (full review) - Even though it’s ultimately a pretty formulaic cop story, writer/director Joe Carnahan gives Narc a style that is gritty, mean, and grungy, and the performances from Patric and Liotta make this more than just another another, run-of-the-mill story about two messed up cops. |
| Phone Booth | 2002 | 70 | 18 | (full review) - The direction and acting is what keeps Phone Booth tense and entertaining, but the focus seems a little bit too divided and there isn’t much that this film really tries to answer by the end of the film either. |

| Donnie Darko | 2001 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Writer/Director Richard’s Kelly debut feature may lose it’s head with the mind-bending elements, but it has a perfect script, great performances, and a story that goes places you won’t be expecting, and won’t be disappointed in seeing anyway. |
| Monsters Inc | 2001 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |
| Mulholland Drive | 2001 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - It doesn’t do much to make sense, but Mulholland Dr. is one of those wacko films from David Lynch, that just is so strange, incoherent, and crazy, but yet so imaginative, well-acted, and intelligently structured, that it works. |

| A Beautiful Mind | 2001 | 85 | 7 | (full review) |
| Blow | 2001 | 85 | 7 | (full review) - It’s a bit messy at points, but Blow delivers on providing an interesting story, with a smart, as well as true screenplay, and an amazing performance from the Johnny Depp. |

| Ali | 2001 | 60 | 23 | (full review) - Ali lost me at points with its long time limit of scenes that just don’t matter, and although Smith is good here as Ali, it doesn’t seem like he captured the whole essence of Ali. |
| Wendigo | 2001 | 60 | 23 | (full review) |
| Fast And The Furious (2001) | 2001 | 55 | 26 | (full review) - Loud, aggressive, dumb, stupid, and ultimately entertaining, The Fast and the Furious may have huge problems with its script, but it will keep you excited the whole time with it’s B-Level thrills to give you the ultimate guilty pleasure feel. |

| Pearl Harbor | 2001 | 50 | 28 | (full review) |
| Planet of the Apes (2001) | 2001 | 50 | 28 | (full review) - Planet of the Apes is cheesy, poorly written, and filled with sub-par performances from the impressive cast, but it’s still an entertaining B-flick with great visuals, some fun action, and a feel of not taking itself too seriously which is good for any film about a world of apes. |
| Wet Hot American Summer | 2001 | 50 | 28 | (full review) |
| Serendipity | 2001 | 40 | 31 | (full review) |
| American Pie 2 | 2001 | 5 | 32 | (full review) - American Pie 2 features an over-abundance of what the first one did and starts to drag a lot, but the moments that worked, really made me laugh, and it was just also great to see the cast all back together doing what they do best with these likable characters. |

| Girlfight | 2000 | 90 | 2 | (full review) |
| Gladiator | 2000 | 90 | 2 | (full review) - Gladiator may not be as perfect as some may claim, but Ridley Scott’s inspired direction keeps this well-acted, beautifully shot, and tremendously entertaining epic, on its toes by never once diving into cheesy or lame territory. |
| Requiem for a Dream | 2000 | 90 | 2 | (full review) |
| American Psycho | 2000 | 85 | 5 | (full review) - Though parts of it may not work as well as others, American Psycho is a great blend of horror and comedy, that makes the scares into satire, and features an amazing, star-making performance from Christian Bale. |

| Sixth Sense, The | 1999 | 95 | 3 | (full review) |
| American Pie | 1999 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - American Pie may not be for the more older/sophisticated types but who it is for, works in every single way from it’s acting, to its gross-out gags, humor, atmosphere, embarrassing reality of what it’s like to be in high school, and also will probably bring you back to thinking about the days of you and your pals in the day and all of the people who made it what it was. |
| Blair Witch Project, The | 1999 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - It may not be a true story, like the film suggests, but the scares here work because you see nothing, there is no big-budget special effects, and its all about feeling and atmosphere, which makes it all feel so realistic, and equally as terrifying. |
| Boondock Saints, The | 1999 | 90 | 6 | (full review) |
| Magnolia | 1999 | 90 | 6 | (full review) - Magnolia may suffer from being too pretentious, but Anderson does a creative and original job with his script and direction that it almost takes our minds away from the pitch-perfect performances here given by the amazing ensemble. |

| Office Space | 1999 | 80 | 14 | (full review) - Office Space may not have the best plot out there, but it still a comedy that works mainly because of its satire of middle-class, blue-collar America with hilarious one-liners, and pitch-perfect observations from the master, Mike Judge. Definitely gets better if you have ever worked a job in your life too. |

| Any Given Sunday | 1999 | 55 | 34 | (full review) - Oliver Stone’s “football movie” is a bit messy and some parts don’t seem like they belong at all, but Stone’s direction that captures the perfect feel of the game, and the perfect performances of the cast make this a film that any football fan can and probably will enjoy. It will just take about 2½ hours out of your day to watch it. |
| Bringing Out the Dead | 1999 | 50 | 35 | (full review) |
| Notting Hill | 1999 | 50 | 35 | (full review) - Notting Hill has an underdeveloped romance that gets very predictable by the end, but the chemistry and performances from Grant and Roberts both save this film and make it an enjoyable rom-com. But then again, aren’t they all?!? Maybe not. |

| Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas | 1998 | 80 | 8 | (full review) - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has its fair share of being too long and too uneven, but at other times, still has a direction from Gilliam that is beautifully trippy and inspired, and the cast just makes this whole bizarr-o film seem real without getting too serious. |

| Boogie Nights | 1997 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Though it never goes deep enough, Boogie Nights is a great ride from PT Anderson, complete with a pitch-perfect cast, inspired script and direction, and just the overall feel of your actually there. |
| Con Air | 1997 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Con Air is full of energy and humor, that is fun to be a part of and does hit the right spots every time throughout the movie. Though the ending was a little bit out of hand, the film still holds a great place in my heart. |

| Full Monty, The | 1997 | 80 | 10 | (full review) |
| Good Will Hunting | 1997 | 80 | 10 | (full review) - Some toning down was needed here and there, but Good Will Hunting is still an emotional and at times witty tale of being the best to your ability, anchored by great performances from the cast, as well as a great first-time script job from Damon and Affleck. |
| Men in Black | 1997 | 80 | 10 | (full review) - Men in Black is what you would expect: funny, light, filled with cool-looking special effects and monsters from Rick Baker, and entertaining but is also very light on plot, which doesn’t really bring up many surprises as it goes along. However, it’s a flick that will always be in my childhood. |
| Game, The | 1997 | 75 | 14 | (full review) |
| Liar Liar | 1997 | 75 | 14 | (full review) - The sentimental value may be a little bit annoying, but Jim Carrey brings Liar Liar’s good plot, to becoming a hilarious time. |

| Fifth Element, The | 1997 | 70 | 16 | (full review) - The overall look, pacing, and feel of this movie has you laughing and having a good time, but The Fifth Element fails to go that full mile when it’s script starts to fall apart by the last act. |

| Devil's Advocate | 1997 | 55 | 22 | (full review) |
| Cop Land | 1997 | 50 | 23 | (full review) - Cop Land has its obvious cliches and bad ending, but features a fun and interesting story, backed by an effective dramatic performance from Stallone, but not enough time was given to the others in my opinion. |
| I Know What You Did Last Summer | 1997 | 30 | 24 | (full review) - It has enough kills, jumps, and scares, to satisfy most horror fans, but is way too lauaghable with its overall premise, bad guy, and everything else. |

| Beautiful Girls | 1996 | 70 | 13 | (full review) - Nothing much really happens here other than a bunch of conversations, but Beautiful Girls’ script is so good, that it kind of makes up for that, with it’s themes about men and women, and performances from a great cast, especially Natalie Portman. |

| From Dusk Till Dawn | 1996 | 50 | 22 | (full review) - The film is highly energetic filled with over-the-top action that will keep you glued, but I expected more from Tarantino and Rodriguez teaming together and didn’t feel my needs were there. |

| Sense and Sensibility | 1995 | 100 | 1 | (full review) |
| Babe | 1995 | 95 | 2 | (full review) - Don’t be fooled, Babe is one of the best family fun adventures featuring, great performances and voicing, a screenplay that touches on the themes it wants to very well, and pulls a lot of heart string, while providing enough fun for the whole family. |
| Braveheart | 1995 | 95 | 2 | (full review) |
| Casino | 1995 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Casino doesn’t break any new grounds mostly due to Goodfellas, but is still a fast-paced information mobster flick, with a terrific direction from Scorsese, and memorable performances by the trio of leads. |
| Leaving Las Vegas | 1995 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - The plot may not go anywhere, but Leaving Las Vegas is a perfectly performed, and well-directed romance that shows two very messed up people, who need each other more than anything but will never change each other and that’s what a beautiful love story is all about. |
| Seven | 1995 | 90 | 4 | (full review) - Although it may not be for everybody, Seven is still one of Fincher’s best with a tension-filled atmosphere, brilliant script, superb writing, and a grand finale that will be sure to stay in your mind way long after the film is over. |

| Apollo 13 | 1995 | 85 | 9 | (full review) |
| Crimson Tide | 1995 | 85 | 9 | (full review) - It may look like slam-bang action thriller, but it has more ideas and messages than just your ordinary popcorn thriller. The cast is having a ball with this material, and Scott is probably at his best keeping the suspense, as well as energy up the whole time. |

| The Crossing Guard | 1995 | 75 | 13 | (full review) |
| Mallrats | 1995 | 70 | 15 | (full review) - Though its not Smiths best, and surely doesn’t measure up to Clerks, Smith’s sophomore debut Mallrats is still a funny, if too edgy comedy, with insightful nuggets about love and comics, and good performances from the cast. |
| Bad Boys | 1995 | 65 | 16 | (full review) - Bad Boys has the same formula we have seen many times before in all buddy-cop films, but features exciting action to mix with a great on-screen chemistry between both Lawrence and Smith, although I think they could have done something different. |

| Clerks | 1994 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Clerks works because of it’s raw but insightful and entertaining dialogue mixed in with very short budget and some very original real-life characters. |
| Ed Wood | 1994 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Ed Wood not only celebrates the life of the “worst director of all-time”, but also embraces the fact that he was one of the more important ones of our life time, with great performances from the cast, especially Landau, and a great script, or laughter, tragedy, and film-making. |
| Leon: The Professional | 1994 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |
| Natural Born Killers | 1994 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |

| Hoop Dreams | 1994 | 85 | 7 | (full review) |
| Il postino | 1994 | 85 | 7 | (full review) - Though slow, Il Postino features great writing , about love, poetry, and the things that inspire us to write, as well as two great performances from the cast, as well as to a perfect farewell to an actor that never got his shot. |
| Quiz Show | 1994 | 85 | 7 | (full review) - Robert Redford may lose some moments in script-writing with Quiz Show but other than it’s amazing with pitch-perfect performances from the whole cast (except for maybe Morrow), a nice deal of subject material goes a long way, and just a great message about morals and why they should come in the way of almost every decision we ever make in our lives, even if it does concern a game-show. That Robert Redford, not only is he handsome as hell, he can write and direct like a legend. |
| Ace Ventura: Pet Detective | 1994 | 80 | 11 | (full review) - Some will hate this, depending on their fondness of Carrey, or the type of humor, but others who don’t mind it, will have a great time, watching Carrey’s great performance, and the funny jokes that come throughout this film. |
| Heavenly Creatures | 1994 | 70 | 12 | (full review) - Peter Jackson has way too much style here for me to actually be involved with this story, but regardless, Heavenly Creatures is a flick that is very disturbing, well-acted, and makes you feel as if you are in these girls’ heads as they go from normal to completley insane. |

| Falling Down | 1993 | 60 | 11 | (full review) - Falling Down is darkly funny, very well-acted by Douglas, and not your usual vigilante film, but has many cliches, and not enough screen time devoted to Douglas. |
| Indecent Proposal | 1993 | 50 | 12 | (full review) - The performances are rich, and the film itself brings up good questions about the limitations of marriage and love, but it never does much with them and just makes those questions turn into a sappy soap opera. |

| Few Good Men, A | 1992 | 85 | 4 | (full review) - A Few Good Men may be your conventional story, it all gets over-shadowed by it’s great script, powerful acting from the whole cast, and those last 20 minutes that will just take you back so much. |

| Beauty and the Beast | 1991 | 90 | 2 | (full review) - Beauty and the Beast is a beautiful and true-tale about love, acceptance, and the real person within humans. However, the beautiful animation, and musical numbers still work, and are just about as fresh as they were 20 years ago. |
| Point Break | 1991 | 90 | 2 | (full review) |
| Terminator 2: Judgment Day | 1991 | 90 | 2 | (full review) - Terminator 2: Judgment Day may have needed more human moments to convey that emotional depth it wanted to, but the action is amazing, the visual effects will have your eyes pop-out even today, and the stylized direction from James Cameron make this one of the best sequels of all-time. |

| Prince of Tides, The | 1991 | 70 | 13 | (full review) - The Prince of Tides may dive into some cornball material, and miss the mark as a romance drama, but it shows that Babs can direct a film well, with some emotionally true scenes, and good performances from the cast, especially Nolte. |

| Goodfellas | 1990 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - Everything about this movie is just fantastic:acting, music, dialouge, camera work, and especially the directing. Though with a little bit of character involvement errors and a not so fantastic ending, I still believe this movie is a great American classic for all to see. |

| Grifters, The | 1990 | 70 | 11 | (full review) - Stephen Frears’ direction definitely makes you feel as if he is just playing with you, just in-order to be more like his subjects, but that’s why The Grifters does, and does not work in it’s own right. However, you can’t deny the charm and power that is within these three performances and it’s just wonderful to see them act each-and-every-single-one of their asses off, even if the pace seems to not be serving them the full-plate that they so rightfully deserves. |

| My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown | 1989 | 85 | 2 | (full review) - There were moments in this film that seemed a bit predictable, but thanks to Sheridan’s way of creating a realistic, precise, and inspirational story, mixed with the amazing performance from Day-Lewis, is what makes this film a must-see. In other words: I liked it. |

| Batman (Keaton) | 1989 | 75 | 9 | (full review) - Though it isn’t as emotionally involving as you would expect from such a dark and atmospheric superhero flick such as this, Batman benefits from some beautiful set-pieces from Tim Burton, great performances from Nicholson and Keaton, and some fun summer blockbuster entertainment to hold you over. |

| Die Hard | 1988 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - Die Hard is a great action classic, filled with over-the-top action, little shades of humor, and a very realistic protagonist. Without this film we wouldn’t have the big-time action films of the 90′s or today. |

| Evil Dead II | 1987 | 90 | 2 | (full review) - I went back-and-forth on whether or not I should have given this movie an 8.5 or 9, and I just realized that the whole-time, I continued to smile and smile throughout and it’s exactly what I wanted in a horror flick. Pure fun, pure campiness, and pure, over-the-top, goofiness that never steps into serious territory. |
| Planes, Trains And Automobiles | 1987 | 90 | 2 | (full review) - Planes, Trains and Automobiles uses a formula we have all seen before but somehow Hughes makes it even more hilarious than it has any right to be, which is also with some thanks to Candy and Martin who are perfect in these roles, bringing out both comedy and heart within their own characters. Perfect Thanksgiving film. |

| Moonstruck | 1987 | 80 | 6 | (full review) - Moonstruck may be too cute for some serious issues, but it provides plenty of great, and hilarious comedy, with even better performances from the cast, and the timely feel of having a crazy family. |

| Ferris Beuller's Day Off | 1986 | 90 | 3 | (full review) - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a prime example of a film that’s hilarious, fun to watch, but well-written, with plenty of ideas and trends about the times in the 80′s, with a timeless message of life. |
| Fly, The | 1986 | 85 | 4 | (full review) - The Fly is a little too over-the-top at points, but David Cronenberg perfectly mashes all of these different elements of romance, drama, and horror as well as a great leading role from Jeff Goldblum to give is a disgusting but emotionally well-told film. |
| Hannah and Her Sisters | 1986 | 85 | 4 | (full review) - Hannah and Her Sisters is a great Woody Allen flick because it balances out heart, darkness, humor, and tenderness all so well with a very well-written script, and performances from everybody involved that add so much more dimensions to these already interesting characters. Oh and it also has Thanksgiving din-din in the film so watch it around that time. |

| Pretty in Pink | 1986 | 65 | 7 | (full review) |
| Big Trouble in Little China | 1986 | 55 | 8 | (full review) - Though it is of course dated in many places, Big Trouble in Little China has some awesome and just fun action sequences, with writing that doesn’t take itself too seriously so therefore nobody else should whoever wants to see this one. |

| Color Purple, The | 1985 | 85 | 2 | (full review) |
| Kiss of the Spider Woman | 1985 | 85 | 2 | (full review) - Kiss Of The Spider Woman may seem too much like a play, but has great lead performances, a heart-felt message, and a good look at homosexuals in a world that wasn’t accepting it. |
| The Purple Rose of Cairo | 1985 | 85 | 2 | (full review) |

| Just One Of The Guys | 1985 | 50 | 6 | (full review) |
| Amadeus | 1984 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - Amadeus is a character-driven biography, on one of the greatest minds in art, and the man that wanted his fame the most. It is filled with enough great settings, pieces, very very realistic writing, and most of all terrific performances from both leads, that this film is a joy in all of film. |
| Blood Simple | 1984 | 95 | 2 | (full review) |
| Ghostbusters | 1984 | 85 | 3 | (full review) - Ghostbusters is the classic that I always imagined it being even when I was still running around in my little Spider-Man undies. It’s funny, original, exciting, and perfectly-delivered by the likes of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and many many others. |

| Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi | 1983 | 55 | 3 | (full review) |
| Big Chill, The | 1983 | 50 | 4 | (full review) - There are a lot of faults here including the generation gap, lack of subtlety from characters and plot, and no real message, but has good performances from its ensemble cast, a great soundtrack, and wonderful writing that is real and tragic. |

| 48 Hours | 1982 | 55 | 5 | (full review) - 48 Hrs. is a bit dated and not as funny as you would expect, but features some good action, with a pleasent chemistry from Nolte and Murphy. |

| Star Wars V: Empire Strikes Back | 1980 | 90 | 3 | (full review) |
| Elephant Man, The | 1980 | 85 | 5 | (full review) - With a surprisingly straight-forward direction by David Lynch, a pair of great performances from Hurt and Hopkins, and an inspirational story at the heart of it all, The Elephant Man is a wonderful flick that will make you feel for it’s main subject but also realize what it’s like to be a human, and what it takes to care for the other humans around you as well. |
| Apocalypse Now | 1979 | 90 | 1 | (full review) |
| Alien | 1979 | 85 | 1 | (full review) - Alien is definitely a sci-fi movie amongst sci-fi movies because it features a highly-stylized direction from one of the greats, Ridley Scott, who gives this film a very tense, dreary, and gloomy feeling the whole way through, and also keeps you guessing until the very end with scenes that are so iconic, I don’t even need to mention here. Just get out and go see it before you see Prometheus, because something tells me you’re going to have to do your homework for this one. |

| Rocky II | 1979 | 65 | 6 | (full review) |
| Deer Hunter, The | 1978 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - The Deer Hunter deserved all the Oscars it got because of its heart-breaking, but true realities of life, and life after war, with great performances from the cast, stellar direction from Cimino, and ultimately one of the best stories about the war on Vietnam of all-time. |
| Heaven Can Wait | 1978 | 85 | 2 | (full review) |
| Halloween (1978) | 1978 | 80 | 3 | (full review) - It may be very dated and not so fun the second or third time around, Halloween is still a classic because it creates plenty of tension, a great low-budget look, and still has some of the best damn horror-music in any film ever. |
| Midnight Express | 1978 | 80 | 3 | (full review) - Midnight Express gives a very brutal but powerful look at a Turkish prison, but falls a little too overboard when it shows the Turks as just simply evil people. |
| Superman | 1978 | 80 | 3 | (full review) |
| Foul Play | 1978 | 50 | 6 | (full review) |
| Star Wars IV: A New Hope | 1977 | 100 | 1 | (full review) |

| Black Sunday | 1977 | 65 | 3 | (full review) |
| Rocky | 1976 | 95 | 1 | (full review) - Rocky is a perfect film for anybody who ever believes that they have what it takes because of it’s perfect screenplay, genuine performances from everybody involved, and just the overall good and happy feeling that this film will give you once you start to here Rocky yelling out “ADRIAAAAAN!”. |

| Carrie (1976) | 1976 | 90 | 2 | (full review) |
| Taxi Driver | 1976 | 90 | 2 | (full review) - Taxi Driver is a very dark film backed by an incredibly disturbing performance from De Niro, and a fearless direction from Scorsese, but focuses too much on one plot when the strongest plot comes by the end. |

| Badlands | 1973 | 90 | 1 | (full review) |
| Exorcist, The | 1973 | 90 | 1 | (full review) - The Exorcist still works all of these years later because of the atmosphere that Friedkin creates, the things that actually happens when the scares aren’t happening, and the acting that elevates this flick upon any other horror film that I’ve seen recently. Definitely deserved that Best Picture win, even though ‘The Sting’ is a great film in its own right too. |
| Mean Streets | 1973 | 85 | 7 | (full review) - Mean Streets is highly original with great acting, a wild soundtrack, and a beautiful setting, but feels a bit too rushed and not all that there with its message. |
| Sting, The | 1973 | 85 | 7 | (full review) - Though it runs on too long, The Sting is still beautiful to look at as well as being incredibly entertaining, charming, funny, well-acted, and featuring lots and lots of twists and turns to keep any watcher on the edge of their seat. |

| Oceans Eleven (1960) | 1960 | 85 | 2 | (full review) - Ocean’s Eleven is no game-changer in terms of heist movies, but is still entertaining, fun, exciting, well-acted, and just really, really cool, almost to the point of where you feel cool for watching it but you soon realize, that you’re just a poor college student who drives a 2005 Scion, and has about $20 in your wallet as you speak. Yeah, I’m speaking from my point-of-view, but if only I wasn’t. If only dreams really could come true, after all. |
