Bullet to the Head (2013) |
"
A film for those who enjoy their steak bloody and their xenophobia served piping hot, making it for specialized moods. It's not a moviegoing evening selected on a whim."

Stand Up Guys (2013) |
"
Mostly baffling with a handful of bright moments, Stand Up Guys is a bust that doesn't know when to quit. In fact, it doesn't really know when to start either. "

$ellebrity (2013) |
"
A numbing viewing experience that's oddly constructed and a touch too sanctimonious to take seriously, eventually coming to blame the viewer for the ills of the tabloid industry."

Girls Against Boys (2013) |
"
Conclusion is a bit of a gimme and telegraphed through the movie, but Boys has moments of inspired mental submersion and wretched behavior. However, any attempt to provide lasting meaning to the mayhem falls disappointingly short."

Parker (2013) |
"
It's a messy effort with plot holes galore, yet director Taylor Hackford manages to convince with the essential elements. Just don't think about the details too hard."

Movie 43 (2013) |
"
If your idea of a gut-busting good time at the multiplex is to see Jackman clown around with a pair of testicles on his neck, accidentally dipping them in butter and slapping them on the head of a baby, then Movie 43 is pure gold."

Kon Tiki (2013) |
"
Rich with character and heavy with ocean-based peril, Kon-Tiki is unexpectedly exciting and refreshingly human, retaining a searing sting of heartache and doubt as it manufactures eye-popping moments of near-death experiences."

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) |
"
Fails to raise much hell, insisting on a flat tone of tedious storytelling when all anyone really wants to see are the titular heroes continuously slaughtering broom-riding she-devils."

John Dies at the End (2013) |
"
It's a punchline in search of a joke, and it's tiring to watch scenes ramble on without direction, while most stabs at humor are DOA, missing a cast with genuine comic timing."

Knife Fight (2013) |
"
A mixed bag, offering a few winning performances and moments of revelation, while the rest scatters aimlessly, in search of structure director Bill Guttentag doesn't provide. "

Mama (2013) |
"
The ride may be a little wobbly, but Muschietti holds his ground, conjuring an ominous chiller that has imagination and visual muscle where it counts the most."

The Last Stand (2013) |
"
Gags could be better, the casting stronger, and the thrills continuous, but Stand remains immensely enjoyable and occasionally freewheeling. At the very least, it's good to have Schwarzenegger back on the screen where he belongs. "

Broken City (2013) |
"
In trying to super-size its suspenseful interests, Broken City becomes a broken record, hitting formulaic notes of fraud when the script is more convincing as a visceral study of men behaving badly. "

A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013) |
"
It's not exactly a bold leap forward for Sheen, but, to his credit, he manages to survive a highly disorganized effort from fascinating helmer Roman Coppola. "
