B+ 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Iron Man 3 provides loads of high-flying fun thanks to the immense charisma of the quick-quipping Robert Downey Jr." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted May 8, 2013
B+ 47% The Great Gatsby (2013) " Baz Luhrmann's visually exhilarating "The Great Gatsby" has flash, dash and a modern soundtrack. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are terrific." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted May 8, 2013
A 93% Sugar (2008) " I've watched thousands of baseball games and seen tons of baseball movies, but Sugar opened new doors of understanding and insight." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Mar 20, 2013
B 52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " Fun if forgettable light entertainment. Ewan McGregor is a hoot." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Mar 4, 2013
B 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " Action-junkies' delight: blazing bullets, car crashes, perpetual motion. What, you were expecting dialogue and plot?" — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Feb 15, 2013
C- 16% A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013) " An artist-playboy stalking an ex-girlfriend sounds tailor-made for Charlie Sheen, but he and his comedy are rather bland. A not quite fully formed film from Roman Coppola." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Feb 15, 2013
B- 60% John Dies at the End (2013) " Not your typical psycho-action-comedy-horror hybrid. A fun idea that starts out great, but then . . ." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Feb 15, 2013
C 45% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " Repeat after me: Two appealing leads do not a movie make. Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert are likable in a film that never really goes anywhere." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Feb 15, 2013
B+ 85% Side Effects (2013) " Slow-burn of a thriller. Ending could have been stronger, but still a good one to chew on over drinks with friends afterwards. Jude Law at his best." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Feb 8, 2013
B 20% Identity Thief (2013) " Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy make a terrific comedy team in this road trip romp." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Feb 8, 2013
C 80% Warm Bodies (2013) " Warmed Over is more like it. A nifty premise and likable lead (Nicholas Hoult)cannot make up for the film's overall blandness. " — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 31, 2013
A- 93% Amour (2012) " Moving, touching and beautifully acted. The question: Do audiences want to spend two hours watching an old couple go from sad to sadder to saddest?" — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 31, 2013
A 79% An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty (2013) Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 22, 2013

B+ 100% I Am Eleven () Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 22, 2013
B+ 65% Mama (2013) " Minus the blood, gore and carving devices of many horror films, Andres Muschietti's feature debut provides plenty of scares and jolts. Plus, there's Jessica Chastain." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 18, 2013
B 82% Rust and Bone (2012) " Marion Cotillard impresses in this intimate, harsh and realistic study of two troubled souls." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 18, 2013

Posted Jan 11, 2013
A 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " Kathryn Bigelow turned 10 years of looking for bin Laden into a magnificently well-crafted film." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 11, 2013

Posted Jan 4, 2013
C+ 70% Les Misérables (2012) " Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway provide some winning musical moments, but overall Tom Hooper's film version is lumbering and drab." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 4, 2013
B+ 66% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " Very, very (very) slow in the early going, but Peter Jackson does get there (eventually)." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 4, 2013
A 88% Django Unchained (2012) " Christoph Waltz is now the chief channeler of all things Tarantino. And that's saying something in a film that includes QT verbosity expert Samuel L. Jackson." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 4, 2013
B- 51% Promised Land (2013) " Timely topic. Likable cast. But this frack-attack drama never fully finds its footing. As pleasant as it is forgettable." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 4, 2013
A- 81% The Impossible (2012) " Director J.A. Bayona beautifully embraces the power of the human spirit." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Jan 4, 2013

Posted Jan 4, 2013
B+ 76% Killing Them Softly (2012) " An intense little crime thumper from writer-director Andrew Dominik, who excels at sweaty realism." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 30, 2012
B+ 64% Anna Karenina (2012) " Joe Wright's sweeping, dance-of-love adaptation of Anna Karenina is one of the most inventive, visually lush films of the year." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 30, 2012
A 88% Life of Pi (2012) " I'm going to use the M word. Here it comes: Life of Pi is magical! Catch it in 3-D if you can." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 21, 2012
B 13% Red Dawn (2012) " Not as gloriously cheesy, or gritty, as the original, but still a good little low-rent action flick." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 21, 2012
B 92% Silver Linings Playbook (2012) " An interesting drama with a wonderful cast (especially Jennifer Lawrence), though it never quite reaches the depth and richness it strives for." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 21, 2012
B- 48% The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) " Even by Twilight standards, this one's a snoozer." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 19, 2012
B 89% Lincoln (2012) " Why don't we give the best actor Oscar to Daniel Day-Lewis right now and save everyone a lot of trouble? " — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 19, 2012
A- 92% Skyfall (2012) " Skyfall is a rollicking good Bond and Daniel Craig's best." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 8, 2012

Posted Nov 7, 2012
C+ 76% The Bay (2012) " The gross-out jolts are there, and the cautionary eco-fears. But it's just not that thrilling." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 7, 2012
A- 79% Flight (2012) " One of Denzel Washington's finest performances. And that's really saying something, considering everything he has accomplished on screen." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Nov 7, 2012
C 26% Fun Size (2012) " Victoria Justice and Jane Levy are keepers, but the forced jokes and thinly drawn characters never add up to much of a movie. " — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Oct 25, 2012
B 12% Alex Cross (2012) " Yes, outside of a dress, Tyler Perry is a powerful screen presence." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Oct 25, 2012

Posted Oct 6, 2012
B 81% Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare (2012) " Dry doings but certainly important and thorough." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Oct 6, 2012
B+ 69% Liberal Arts (2012) " The real reward of Liberal Arts is Elizabeth Olsen. With her genuineness and depth, she is the film's defining presence." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Oct 6, 2012
B+ 43% Hotel Transylvania (2012) " We only hear him, but this is the best thing Adam Sandler has done in years." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Posted Oct 6, 2012
B+ 93% Looper (2012) " Looper's super. An action-thriller that bothers to have a brain." — Cleveland Plain Dealer

Posted Sep 20, 2012
A- 85% End of Watch (2012) " Your Action Fix. In lesser hands the video-verite could be annoying. But Ayer deftly incorporates it into the story." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
