	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	11-11-11 Los Angeles Times	11/12/11	Poor	"...a torturously dull waiting game of fake shocks, an incessant 'something's coming!' soundtrack of chanting and moody orchestral noodling, dreary investigating into cultishness surrounding '11' and repetitive bickering between the brothers..."
2.	13 (2011) Los Angeles Times	10/28/11	Poor	"One of the more strangely entertainment-free genre films in a while... the whole claustrophobic, close-up-driven slog feels like a piece of lead-filled, exploitation runoff..."
3.	186 Dollars To Freedom Los Angeles Times	09/28/12	Fair	"...a grim yet ineffectual drama inspired by the real-life experiences of its screenwriter, Monty Fisher... the movie seems so unfocused."
4.	2011 Oscar Nominated Shorts Los Angeles Times	02/11/11	Good (Not Great)	"Shorts programs are by their nature mixed bags of ambition, art and quality.... modest charms are what distinguish this year's academy-tapped batch."
5.	2012 Oscar Nominated Shorts Los Angeles Times	02/10/12	Very Good	"...this year's nominees -- a stronger batch than last year's -- offer thought-provoking contrasts in storytelling and style."
6.	3 Idiots Los Angeles Times	01/29/10	Good	"...may not be interested in tonal consistency, but there's an unavoidable joie de vivre... and a performance charm that make this one of the more naturally gregarious Bollywood imports."
7.	3, 2, 1... Frankie Go Boom Los Angeles Times	10/12/12	Weak	"...a noisy stab at wacky wrongness that starts with reasonably plump possibility as a dispatch from the frontlines of viral video embarrassment hell.... yields desperation..."
8.	5 Days of War Los Angeles Times	09/02/11	Weak	"...the overall effect is of a thrill-addicted director's own futile separatist call for message-movie legitimacy, one regrettably overwhelmed by the 'Rambo' tactics..."
9.	6 Month Rule Los Angeles Times	06/08/12	Weak	"...unsettling is the film's none-too-subtle misogyny, present most notably in the routinely coarse references to the ex-girlfriend of Tyler's sad sack bud Alan..."
10.	6 Souls Los Angeles Times	04/05/13	Poor	"Beware the horror-thriller about personality disorder that suffers from its own fractious splits in title, mood and logic.... absurd.... ostentatious..."
11.	A Bag of Hammers Los Angeles Times	05/18/12	Moderate	"...thin, neatly folded, paper-airplane of a movie threatens to nose dive into tweeville as it depicts the carefree lives of best-bud scam artists..."
12.	A Love Affair of Sorts Los Angeles Times	06/24/11	Poor	"...epic navel-gazing.... sheds little light on interpersonal conflict or why we're such an addictively self-documenting modern society."
13.	A Man's Story Los Angeles Times	11/02/12	Weak	"...a flashy, country-hopping ridealong with a style icon... This is hardly a probing work, with background information practically nil.... form over function in almost every way."
14.	A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Los Angeles Times	04/30/10	Weak	"Horror movie franchises -- as it's been said about Marines -- don't die, apparently. They just go to hell and regroup.... this 'Nightmare' is mostly stale goods."
15.	According to Greta Los Angeles Times	12/11/09	Good (Not Great)	"Director Nancy Bardawil and writer Michael Gilvary have a few too many after-school special schematics on display... But their hearts are in the right place with their taming-of-the-brat tale."
16.	Aftershock (2013) Los Angeles Times	05/10/13	Weak	"...there's so little context to the litany of ugliness -- some played for laughs, some meant to shock -- that it's hard to discern where the entertainment value lies..."
17.	All About Steve Los Angeles Times	09/04/09	Poor	"...a screwball wannabe that leaves one begging for the comforting embrace of a professionally made sitcom..."
18.	All's Faire in Love Los Angeles Times	10/28/11	Good (Not Great)	"...has a cheeky beggar's appeal not unlike its setting: the hammy world of Renaissance Faire performers.... does manage a breezy, good-natured tone..."
19.	All's Well, Ends Well 2012 (Baat seng bou hei) Los Angeles Times	01/27/12	Weak	"...erratic, unfunny hodgepodge of childish farce and drippy emotion -- the actors steered toward maximum mugging by directors Chan Hing Kai and Janet Chun -- is all cartoon and no charm."
20.	American Animal Los Angeles Times	06/01/12	Fair	"...has a mysterious unreality to it, a strange diorama about easy leisure's emptiness.... becomes a philosophically strident evening of speechifying local theater..."
