Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
1/4	The Adjustment Bureau (2011)	Steven Snyder	Compare the adaptation to the original and you see a complicated saga of personal sacrifice streamlined into a rosy tribute to love supreme. Feels good, but also feels empty Posted Mar 03, 2011 Edit critic review
4/4	Let Me In (2010)	Steven Snyder	Stripping away the mysticism and sexuality of vampire lore, Let Me In has taken everything tantalizing about fanged thrillers and converted it instead into an element of agony Posted Oct 01, 2010 Edit critic review
A+	The Social Network (2010)	Steven Snyder	The story of a groundswell,of an unlikely collaboration between a product and its customers that upended not just the value propositions of Harvard, but of the pre-web economy Posted Oct 01, 2010 Edit critic review
4/4	Inception (2010)	Steven Snyder	I expected a lot,but still walked out hypnotized. Here's a movie that's 3 steps ahead of you, on 4 different levels, at 5 blinding speeds. Best of 2010 thus far. (No Spoilers) Posted Jul 06, 2010 Edit critic review
4/4	Toy Story 3 (2010)	Steven Snyder	In TS3, we come full circle to the biggest question of all: What does it mean not to feel outdated, or misunderstood, but truly useless? It's Waiting For Godot at Lego scale. Posted Jun 18, 2010 Edit critic review
3/4	The A-Team (2010)	Steven Snyder	Brisk, brash, whiplash-inducing. And cracking jokes all along the way.The more this quartet mugs for the camera, the more fun this whole macho-fantasia experiment becomes. Posted Jun 11, 2010 Edit critic review
3/4	The Karate Kid (2010)	Steven Snyder	It's Smith who sells Dre's realization - the same revelation all children have one day, that they are not the center of the universe but only a young star learning to orbit Posted Jun 11, 2010 Edit critic review
4/4	Kick-Ass (2010)	Steven Snyder	You can tell from scene 1 this was made by someone with vision and conviction, willing to risk offending some so he could wow others. This is no film-by-focus-group. Thank God Posted Apr 15, 2010 Edit critic review
1/4	Clash of the Titans (2010)	Steven Snyder	The battles look great with computer renderings, but outside the Kraken sequence they don't inspire an ounce of awe. The gods have never looked more real, or mattered less Posted Apr 02, 2010 Edit critic review
2.5/4	Repo Men (2010)	Steven Snyder	Repo Men asks us to consider: What happens when the corporations claim ownership over our very bodies Posted Mar 18, 2010 Edit critic review
3/4	Alice in Wonderland (2010)	Steven Snyder	Such a delightfully giddy, silly, delirious movie. Tim Burton isn't being "Tim Burton" but is just having fun again, scrambling up the expected pieces Posted Mar 05, 2010 Edit critic review
3.5/4	The Crazies (2010)	Steven Snyder	This is complete and utter anarchy with every person out for himself, as the idealistic American dream gives way in real-time to the darker impulse of self-preservation. Posted Feb 24, 2010 Edit critic review
1.5/4	The Wolfman (2010)	Steven Snyder	You know a horror film's in trouble when the morning-after scene is more satisfying than the 'night before.' Posted Feb 10, 2010 Edit critic review
3/4	Frozen (2010)	Steven Snyder	I love the straightforward gall of Frozen. Here's a horror film that's confident enough to abandon superficial scares in favor of a far more insidious, intellectual concept Posted Feb 04, 2010 Edit critic review
