Plus, Project X is a bummer of a party.

This Is Not a Film, a clandestine documentary about celebrated Iranian director Jafar Panahi's life under house arrest, is at 100 percent.
Let the Bullets Fly, starring Chow Yun-Fat in a wild action/comedy about a small-town government official who runs afoul with the mob, is at 92 percent.
The Salt of Life, a comedy about a middle-aged Italian man who tries to get back into the dating scene, is at 89 percent.
Last Days Here, a documentary about the troubled journey of cult metal favorites Pentagram, is at 86 percent.
Boy, a coming-of-age dramedy about a Maori preteen with fantastical thoughts, is at 83 percent (check out director Taika Waititi's Five Favorite Films here).
Black Butterflies, a biopic about the life and loves of celebrated South African writer Ingrid Jonker, is at 78 percent.
Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, a comedy about Tim and Eric's attempts to pay back investors after wasting a fortune on a short film, is at 48 percent.
Being Flynn, starring Robert De Niro and Paul Dano in a drama about a young man who discovers his estranged father in a homeless shelter, is at 43 percent.

Finally, props to Zach K for guessing Tyler Perry's Good Deeds' 31 percent Tomatometer, and to Ben C for guessing Gone's 11 percent Tomatometer.
