98% Gravity (2013) " It strives to bring cinema's past, especially the rip-roaring, edge-of-the-seat thrillers Hollywood used to make, into its technological, weightless, oxygen-free future." — Salon.com
Posted Oct 3, 2013
42% All Is Bright (2013) " [Its] flaws pretty much disappear against the powerful and pervasive mood of working-class sadness, and the sense that the holiday season for grown-ups is almost always about loss and sacrifice." — Salon.com
Posted Oct 2, 2013
88% Captain Phillips (2013) " As cinema it plays a lot like a knockoff of "Zero Dark Thirty," without the same ambition and scale and with dramatically lower stakes." — Salon.com
Posted Oct 1, 2013
93% Muscle Shoals (2013) " Just as "Sweet Home Alabama" speaks for itself without revealing its meaning, so does this American story of ferment and feuding and amazing pop music." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 29, 2013
100% The Wicker Man - Final Cut (2013) " An absolute must for all serious movie buffs." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 26, 2013
85% We Are What We Are (2013) " It's a sinister, wistful and even sad portrait of one family that has followed the insanity and bloodthirstiness of American history into a dark corridor with no exit." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 25, 2013
83% Don Jon (2013) " This is a sweet, lively and funny movie rather than a fully realized one, but it makes clear that Gordon-Levitt has a natural feeling for cinema and should do more of it." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 25, 2013
67% Newlyweeds (2013) " A smoky, jazzy, biting and heartfelt comedy about two young people, one love affair, American life, African-American life, Brooklyn and - oh, yeah - weed." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 23, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " I've seen Brühl in several German-language films, and I'm not surprised that he's perfect as the monomaniacal Lauda, but Hemsworth is the revelation here." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 19, 2013
80% Prisoners (2013) " It's the imitation-David Fincher pretentiousness that gets on my nerves." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 18, 2013
95% Enough Said (2013) " On first viewing, I conclude that "Enough Said" is irresistible, and demands a second (and third) viewing right away." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 18, 2013
50% Thanks For Sharing (2013) " I am powerless to control my addiction to this kind of talky, theatrical, pseudo-therapeutic picture, which doesn't mean - as with other kinds of addictions - that I'm entirely happy about it." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 18, 2013
100% Mother Of George (2013) " This is one of the most striking entries in the 2013 global wave of black cinema, but also admittedly one that poses hurdles to audiences with conventional expectations." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 12, 2013
88% Informant (2013) " [An] evenhanded and carefully crafted documentary ..." — Salon.com
Posted Sep 12, 2013
59% Afternoon Delight (2013) " "Afternoon Delight" defaults to a calculated, upbeat ending that has little organic connection to the story, but it's a crisp and often hilarious female-centric social satire loaded with delicious talent from the TV-comedy pool." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 29, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " Seriously, what's not to like?" — Salon.com
Posted Aug 22, 2013
99% Short Term 12 (2013) " In showing us all the richness and tenderness and passion that's possible in young lives that have pretty much been discarded by ordinary society, Cretton invites us - in the kindest possible spirit! - to question our own privilege." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 22, 2013
74% The Grandmaster (2013) " All I know is that I got lost in it, and that I would still have loved it if it were twice as long with half the action." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 21, 2013
12% The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) " An almost random collection of sexy-supernatural teen signifiers aimed at squeezing the penultimate dollars out of a declining trend." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 21, 2013
81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " It marks the arrival of an immense talent who will be new to most moviegoers - although Lowery is a well-known figure in the indie-film world - and it's surely one of the best American films of the year." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 15, 2013
96% Cutie And The Boxer (2013) " "Cutie and the Boxer" is one of the most unsentimental and unstinting portraits of marriage ever brought to the screen ..." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 15, 2013
73% Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) " "Lee Daniels' The Butler" is big, brave, crude and contradictory, very bad in places and very good in others, and every American should see it." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 15, 2013
68% Elysium (2013) " Makes clear that Blomkamp is a genuine visionary who's trying to push the envelope of possibility in mainstream popcorn cinema." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 8, 2013
47% We're The Millers (2013) " It boils down to the idea that men and women alike yearn for what they don't have, and that making your way through life is about seizing the bizarre opportunities it thrusts at you." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 8, 2013
54% Lovelace (2013) " Seyfried's performance is worth the price of admission. But Linda Lovelace deserved something more." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 7, 2013
78% Europa Report (2013) " If this isn't quite a great movie, it should be an immensely gratifying one for sci-fi fans tired of the conceptual overkill and general dumbness of "Prometheus" or "Star Trek Into Darkness."" — Salon.com
Posted Aug 7, 2013
22% The Canyons (2013) " As a visual symphony, "The Canyons" is often masterful, and while it may be pornographic in places, it's never campy." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 1, 2013
63% 2 Guns (2013) " If you're craving some irresponsible and amoral old-school August cinema, with no redeeming social value beyond the message that our government has gone insane and we're all totally screwed, you won't be let down." — Salon.com
Posted Aug 1, 2013
91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " It often bugged me while I was watching it, but I couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards, which made it an awful lot like observing someone else's flawed love affair in real life." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 31, 2013
—— Neurotypical (2011) " Neurotypical is an important film because it's largely told from the perspective of people with autism, talking about their strategies for communicating with the so-called normal world." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 29, 2013
97% Drug War (2013) " The big budget and big social canvas have called forth one of [To's] best movies, a dense and involving police procedural with a dash of the grotesque and a persistent undertone of doom." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 25, 2013
52% The To Do List (2013) " For the most part it's a cheerful and sprightly comedy that delivers moderate laughs and should connect with the younger female audience that Hollywood largely ignores in the summer." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 25, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " Taken on its own terms "The Wolverine" is the cleanest, least pretentious and most satisfying superhero movie of the summer." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 25, 2013
91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " A freak show whose alternately compelling and repulsive heroine can't disguise the fact that it's a movie by a sour old guy who no longer likes anything or anyone and who also, more damningly, just isn't interested." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 24, 2013
83% Computer Chess (2013) " This profound, peculiar work of genius, this half-comic portrait of the present in embryo within the past, reverberates with hidden meanings and a questing intelligence." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 18, 2013
86% The Conjuring (2013) " Horror buffs will find [it] a highly satisfying, well-crafted film in a classical mode, with plenty of scares and very little gore." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 18, 2013
94% Fruitvale Station (2013) " "Fruitvale Station" is a potent dramatic chronicle of contemporary American life, crackling with energy and possibility, made with the cooperation of Grant's mother and girlfriend." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 11, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " I was having so much fun I lost track of where the line between good-stupid and bad-stupid might lie." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 11, 2013
81% Crystal Fairy (2013) " This is a road-trip comedy and a drug-trip comedy, but one that refuses easy clichés and whose ultimate intentions are a lot more sober and mysterious than that sounds." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 10, 2013
85% The Way Way Back (2013) " Beautifully executed, loaded with sharp observational moments, and never cheats either its characters or its audience by descending into raunchy teen-movie cliché." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 4, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " If anything, it's overstuffed with imagination and ideas, and when it comes to Hollywood movies I very much prefer that to the default setting. See it with an open mind, and you may well be surprised." — Salon.com
Posted Jul 2, 2013
65% The Heat (2013) " There's an edgy but rewarding chemistry between Bullock and McCarthy that makes me wish they were attached to a less foul-tasting premise." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 28, 2013
50% White House Down (2013) " The essential climate of the movie - the climate of hysteria, dysfunction and mendacity, backed up by an enduring, essentially optimistic and arguably idiotic culture of popular patriotism ... feels strikingly authentic to our historical moment." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 27, 2013
96% A Band Called Death (2013) " [A] generous, spirited documentary [that captures] one of the strangest and most inspiring of all family stories of tragedy and triumph that this crazy country has produced." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 27, 2013
47% I'm So Excited! (2013) " "I'm So Excited!" deliberately recalls the exuberant and outrageous cinema that first put Almodóvar, and the hedonistic cultural scene of post-Franco Spain, on the global map in the early '80s." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 26, 2013
72% How To Make Money Selling Drugs (2013) " Despite its slick packaging and overtly facetious premise, director Matthew Cooke and producer Adrian Grenier's faux-educational documentary "How to Make Money Selling Drugs" packs a wallop." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 25, 2013
97% A Hijacking (2013) " No mainstream American thriller could ever be made about this subject that resisted simple-minded narrative clichés the way "A Hijacking" does, or that refused to depict its characters as either heroes or villains." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 20, 2013
90% The Attack (2013) " This doleful and nuanced Middle Eastern tragedy is unlike any other recent film from the region in various ways." — Salon.com
Posted Jun 20, 2013
67% World War Z (2013) " Whatever caused all the production angst on this film I don't know, but you never get the feeling that Forster loses control of the images, and "World War Z" contains several of the most effective big-canvas action sequences in recent history." — Salon.com
