	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	16 Acres New York Times	11/16/12	Good	"...features forthright interviews with major players and gives a good sense of the infighting and pettiness without getting bogged down in it."
2.	3 Billion and Counting New York Times	09/17/10	Moderate	"Dr. D. Rutledge Taylor is serious about rehabilitating the reputation of the pesticide DDT so that it can be used more widely in the developing world to battle malaria.... The guy's not much of a filmmaker, but he certainly gets your attention."
3.	3 Geezers! New York Times	05/22/13	Poor	"It's not clear whether this film is trying to celebrate people of advanced age or mock them, but it doesn't really matter. Either way, this is one terrible movie."
4.	33 Postcards New York Times	05/17/13	Moderate	"Guy Pearce is eclipsed by an unknown young actress named Zhu Lin, whose charming performance gives this sweet if not very credible film its heart."
5.	A Fierce Green Fire New York Times	03/01/13	Fair	"...about as sleepy as a documentary can be.... doesn't really capture the urgency and militancy promised in the title."
6.	A Haunted House New York Times	01/12/13	Poor	"...a crass and clumsy attempt to parody the genre of horror movies built on hand-held camera work and supposedly found footage... crude, sometimes offensive..."
7.	A Love Affair of Sorts New York Times	06/24/11	Poor	"...the it's-all-about-me nature of modern life already feels like a point that no longer needs making. Yeah, we're self-absorbed and shallow; so what else is new?"
8.	A Novel Romance (2011) New York Times	11/11/11	Weak	"...male filmmakers love the myth that graying men without money or personality are somehow catnip to gorgeous young women. Why these women are attracted to Nate remains a mystery, since Steve Guttenberg plays him as a socially inept whiner."
9.	A Small Act New York Times	10/29/10	Excellent	"...when unforeseen developments rewrote the script, as it were, the film took on a depth that made it all the more remarkable.... couldn't be more heartening -- yes, individual actions do make a difference. But it's bittersweet as well."
10.	A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas New York Times	11/04/11	Very Good	"...that stoned baby and a stunning riff on the tongue-stuck-to-a-pole scene in 'A Christmas Story' will, for fans of this franchise, make this a blissful holiday season..."
11.	Adventures of Power New York Times	10/09/09	Fair	"Mr. Ari Gold the director couldn't find a consistent tone, and Mr. Gold the actor needed to be more eccentrically lovable and less irksome."
12.	After Fall, Winter New York Times	01/27/12	Poor	"...self-aggrandizing... None of it is convincing; Mr. Schaeffer's acting is shallow (Ms. Brocheré's isn't); and the Shakespearean-tragedy ending stands a good chance of drawing guffaws."
13.	Afterschool New York Times	10/02/09	Good	"In truth there isn't much story here, or much insight either.... But those with the patience to wait out Mr. Campos's overindulgences will definitely leave 'Afterschool' unnerved, which is probably exactly what he had in mind."
14.	All In: The Poker Movie New York Times	03/23/12	Weak	"It ought to be 'All In: The Poker Propaganda Movie'... the film is so padded with cheerleading that it doesn't have time for a serious exploration..."
15.	All's Faire in Love New York Times	10/28/11	Weak	"...a hodgepodge... The script, by director Scott Marshall and R. A. White, doesn't contain enough that's genuinely funny, which leaves everybody trying too hard."
16.	Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked New York Times	12/16/11	Moderate	"...just harmless fun... A particularly nice touch: Some of the 'munks change personalities as a result of a spider bite. Alvin the Responsible? Believe it."
17.	Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel New York Times	12/23/09	Fair	"The earlier 'Alvin' movie made more than $217 million just in the United States. It's hard to imagine this somewhat confused sequel doing as well."
18.	American Teacher New York Times	09/30/11	Good (Not Great)	"...doesn't come close to doing what it sets out to do... a bittersweet portrait of several teachers as they make the difficult decision of whether to stick with the profession."
19.	Answers to Nothing New York Times	12/02/11	Good	"...fine performances and an embrace of understatement make Matthew Leutwyler's oddly titled film a respectable entry in the multiple-stories-that-interlock genre."
20.	Art History (2011) New York Times	09/22/11	Poor	"...anyone who sees director Joe Swanberg's insufferable 'Art History' and doesn't wish for the 74 minutes back has an empty life indeed.... What is this, junior high?"
