	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Washington Post	04/30/10	Poor	"Freddy Krueger used to be such a fun guy.... he had such a sense of humor about the whole thing. Unfortunately..."
2.	Arthur Newman Washington Post	04/26/13	Moderate	"...a lot like its protagonist: admirable in a quiet way but not quite capable of living up to its lofty ambitions."
3.	Country Strong Washington Post	01/07/11	Weak	"...a disjointed drama filled with one-dimensional characters and melodrama so Lifetime movie-esque that it careens into unintentional comedy."
4.	Enter the Void Washington Post	11/12/10	Poor	"...the most excruciating sit in recent cinematic memory. And no, the fact that it's intentionally excruciating doesn't make it less excruciating."
5.	Formosa Betrayed Washington Post	04/02/10	Weak	"...forces us to swallow what increasingly feels like a heaping spoonful of preachy medicine. And side effects may indeed include drowsiness."
6.	Fun Size (2012) Washington Post	10/26/12	Poor	"There are a few moments where the sitcom-style humor works... But too often Josh Schwartz strikes juvenile and misguided notes... 'fun' doesn't quite describe this..."
7.	Furry Vengeance Washington Post	04/30/10	Poor	"The problem, or problems, stem from the lazy, unfunny script; the weak computer-generated animals; and the squandering of so much talent."
8.	Girl Rising Washington Post	04/19/13	Moderate	"...a lengthy, highly effective PSA... doesn't really address the roadblocks to making significant change in the countries it visits."
9.	Glee: The 3D Concert Movie Washington Post	08/12/11	Moderate	"At its best, it's joyful, uplifting and even, occasionally, moving.... at its worst, it's a propaganda piece designed to win our undying loyalty..."
10.	Mesrine: Killer Instinct (L'instinct de mort) Washington Post	08/27/10	Moderate	"...unfolds like a story that has been told before... gives off the vibe of a Scorsese picture, a 'Goodfellas en Francais.' "
11.	Mindless Behavior: All Around the World Washington Post	03/16/13	Poor	"We see the Mindless heroes, busting their carefully choreographed moves on a massive stage before squealing, sobbing fans.... a little sad."
12.	No Strings Attached (2011) Washington Post	01/21/11	Good (Not Great)	"...an often entertaining look at two people giving their relationship the ol' hooking-up-like-they're-in-college try."
13.	Paul Blart: Mall Cop Washington Post	01/16/09	Weak	"...mediocre, unmemorable... James gamely pratfalls and stumbles through all 90 minutes, but his clumsy somersaults and silly Segway maneuvers elicit few giggles."
14.	Queen to Play (Joueuse) Washington Post	05/13/11	Very Good	"...a subtle, absorbing film... As solid as Kevin Kline's performance is, though, this is really Sandrine Bonnaire's movie."
15.	The Bang Bang Club (2011) Washington Post	04/29/11	Moderate	"On the emotional spectrum, this one ultimately falls smack in the mild middle, somewhere between bang-bang and whimper-whimper."
16.	The Beaver Washington Post	05/06/11	Good (Not Great)	"...mostly makes us forget about Gibson's madman persona and simply draws us into the story... in spite of the man's reputation, he still manages to shatter our hearts."
17.	The Lottery Washington Post	06/25/10	Moderate	"...makes the emotionally persuasive albeit somewhat one-sided case that charter schools are the best available Band-Aid... it's impossible not to be thoroughly moved..."
18.	The Perks of Being a Wallflower Washington Post	09/28/12	Good (Not Great)	"...the empathy-generating performances by the charismatic young actors -- particularly Miller and Whitman -- compensate for any missteps."
19.	The Sapphires Washington Post	03/29/13	Weak	"...pedestrian, derivative... its ambitions exceed its plucky, determined grasp. That's a shame.... as soon as the music stops, the whole enterprise sputters and goes clunk."
20.	The Words Washington Post	09/07/12	Weak	"...well-acted but narratively limp... intentionally blurs the line between reality and fiction, never creating real or fantasy worlds that are remotely believable."
