	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	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."
2.	Mystery Team New York Times	12/04/09	Moderate	"Can an idea that works for 5 minutes be sustained for more than 100?... hit-and-miss. Some bits fall thuddingly flat, and the characters are rarely more than stick figures."
3.	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."
4.	The Swimsuit Issue (Allt flyter) New York Times	05/12/10	Good	"...low-key and gently touches on issues not usually found in sports comedies: hard times, fragmented families, reverse discrimination. It's the situations that are comical, not the characters.... the film's conclusion is unexpected and sweet."
5.	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..."
6.	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."
7.	The Big Uneasy New York Times	09/24/10	Very Good	"...a cogent 98-minute investigative chronicle... an indispensable part of any history of New Orleans before, during and after Katrina.... New Orleans remains in jeopardy."
8.	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."
9.	Vito Bonafacci New York Times	05/06/11	Good (Not Great)	"...an earnest film about a lapsed Roman Catholic in spiritual crisis... elevated by the touches of neorealist style in its small-bore focus and its soundtrack of classical compositions and Italian music from the 12th and 13th centuries.... offers a quiet haven for meaningful meditation."
10.	Where the Road Meets the Sun New York Times	07/29/11	Weak	"...the script, written by Ms. Yong Mun Chee, feels mostly by the numbers.... It fails to deliver a single story worth caring about. Instead of arrestingly tangled fates, we get the cinematic equivalent of a blind date."
11.	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."
12.	Love in Space New York Times	09/09/11	Good	"...everything we expect from an ensemble romantic comedy: charming meet-cutes; whimsical situations; the feverish urgency of young professionals, urban or otherwise."
13.	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."
14.	The Mill and the Cross New York Times	09/14/11	Excellent	"...casts a transfixing spell... a lush and hypnotic examination of a painter's work and the times in which he lived... an extended contemplation of the creative process itself."
15.	Sound It Out New York Times	09/15/11	Very Good	"...an affectionate portrait of a shrinking group of record collectors under technological siege.... Like a mint pressing in a bargain bin, 'Sound It Out' is a rare find. Sweet."
16.	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."
17.	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."
18.	Revenge of the Electric Car New York Times	10/21/11	Very Good	"...that rare artifact, a snapshot of a major industrial shift on its way to a tipping point.... a slick, enjoyable valentine to a retooling industry."
19.	My Reincarnation New York Times	10/28/11	Excellent	"...remarkable.... Chogyal Namkhai Norbu is an engaging, charismatic figure; by the end, Yeshi is finding his own footing, able to relate to a young, wired-in audience."
20.	Watching TV with the Red Chinese New York Times	01/20/12	Moderate	"...a conventional melodrama.... If there was any intent to assess America at the end of the Carter era, it's hard to see: Rubik's Cubes and Reagan masks never become more than crude cultural markers."
