	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	American Autumn: An Occudoc New York Times	09/28/12	Good	"...as manifestoes go it is calm and smart, offsetting its stridency with discussion, music, even humor, while issuing a call to arms."
2.	Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace New York Times	09/16/11	Good	"...a well-reported history of the Camp David talks, the events that led to them, and the difficult negotiations that followed to forge the peace treaty that was signed the next spring.... the film is not congratulatory."
3.	Chasing Madoff New York Times	08/26/11	Fair	"...frustratingly uneven... In a way, the film's amateurish qualities reflect the outsider quirks that may have made Mr. Markopolos so dismissible."
4.	Climate of Change New York Times	05/12/10	Very Good	"...never less than stunning... this affable call to environmental arms has little patience for those who say that the problems are too large, that there's nothing to be done... urges us to consider the earth a knowable, local everyday place..."
5.	Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs New York Times	09/18/09	Good	"If the filmmakers opt to make only light statements about junk food, obesity and solid waste, they at least leave the audience sated on a single serving of inspired lunacy."
6.	Crooked Arrows New York Times	06/01/12	Fair	"...gets points for its glimpses of Native American culture and history... Splitting the difference between heritage film and sports flick, 'Crooked Arrows' gets neither right..."
7.	Doctored New York Times	09/21/12	Fair	"...meandering... loses focus... Mr. Sheehan seems to forget the primary documentarian directive: First, do no harm to your main argument."
8.	Double Trouble (2012) New York Times	06/08/12	Weak	"Director David Hsun-Wei Chang shows an indifference to elevating the by-the-numbers script... 'Double Trouble' has little action, and the comedy is strained and mechanical."
9.	Exodus Fall New York Times	04/22/11	Poor	"The acting is inauthentic and unconvincing... the story by Chad Waterhouse lurches from cliché to cliché and the direction, shared by Mr. Waterhouse and Ankush Kohli, seems incapable of building to a payoff."
10.	Ferlinghetti: A Rebirth of Wonder New York Times	02/08/13	Very Good	"Mr. Felver deftly blends old news clips and readings with interviews of writers and artists... effusive in its praise, but some lives and legacies were meant for a tribute."
11.	Going Down In La-la Land New York Times	04/20/12	Weak	"...falls well short of compelling, either as a coming-of-age film, a satire or a romance.... quite old-school, at its core a conventional uninspired fantasy of love conquering all."
12.	Happy Life New York Times	10/14/11	Moderate	"Most of the acting is weak... the direction is woozy or absent.... Still, the film advances the 'let's put on a show' genre into a grim and hopeless direction, just right for hard times. In different hands 'Happy Life' might become a decent movie."
13.	Here and There (Tamo i ovde) (2010) New York Times	05/14/10	Good (Not Great)	"...a rough-edged first film... In the end, the film has more than a few moments that linger: like slivovitz, it sneaks up on you."
14.	Hotel Noir New York Times	10/12/12	Moderate	"...features an impressive cast... Still, many scenes seem like walk-throughs, before the actors truly inhabit their roles.... the air of respectful simulation is too pervasive..."
15.	Inside Out New York Times	09/09/11	Poor	"...could really have used some better-focused, more believable scripting. Perhaps for Mr. Levesque's next project one of the 'WWE SmackDown' writers will have some free time."
16.	Inventing Our Life: The Kibbutz Experiment New York Times	04/24/12	Very Good	"...a fascinating introduction to a movement scrambling to adjust enough to guarantee a future, without severing all ties to its principled past."
17.	It's the Earth Not the Moon (É na Terra não é na Lua) New York Times	07/13/12	Good	"The film's leisurely pace seems to capture the rhythms of island life. Though often random in its organization, this portrait is still much more than a snapshot."
18.	Janeane from Des Moines New York Times	10/12/12	Good (Not Great)	"...doesn't really mock anyone... it's actually a commentary on the immense gap between a desperate citizen and the politics she had hoped might help her."
19.	Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D New York Times	04/21/10	Moderate	"In the end, this concert film suggests the musical hazards of too much touring: while smooth and gleaming, the set features little spontaneity."
20.	Long Shot: The Kevin Laue Story New York Times	10/26/12	Good	"Mr. Laue is an intriguing subject, smart, affable and with a dry wit... a memorable account of an inspiring struggle to finish on top."
