Posted Jun 10, 2013
7.7 74% Love Is All You Need (2013) " A refreshingly uncynical and surprisingly practical portrait of two people learning how to take life at face value and embrace the joy which is made available to them." — Film.com
Posted May 1, 2013
8.8 54% Post Tenebras Lux (2013) " "'Post Tenebras Lux' works so well because - even at its most random - it always feels like more of a single portrait of a man in crisis than it does an impish bouquet of provocative incidents."" — Film.com
Posted Apr 29, 2013

Posted Apr 1, 2013
3.5/10 69% Trance (2013) " An insufferable cross between "Inception" and the twisty heist noir of Jean-Pierre Melville, "Trance" is a shapelessly propulsive mess of pop psychology and poor drama." — Film.com

.5/5 12% Red Dawn (2012) " Heaven's Gate for the Hunger Games generation" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 21, 2012
87% Life of Pi (2012) " Lee's use of 3D -- the best since Hugo -- proves that while the format is pushed for the money, it's meant for the masters." — Movies.com
Posted Nov 20, 2012
4.5/5 64% Anna Karenina (2012) " A bold and borderline insane adaptation that anoints Joe Wright as a modern filmmaker who reveres the old guard" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 12, 2012
.5/5 6% Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) " "Do not go to Silent Hill!" That's one of the first lines of dialogue, but by that point you've probably already realized the magnitude of your mistake." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 26, 2012

Posted Oct 8, 2012
3/5 30% Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) " Resident Evil movies don't tell stories so much as they provide variations on a theme, and that theme is: a pubescent boy's wet dream recast as an antiseptic dub-step nightmare" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 14, 2012
2/5 70% The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (2012) " A rare treat for anyone who's ever wondered what a martial arts epic might look like through the eyes of someone suffering from severe glaucoma." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 29, 2012
4/5 77% Samsara (2012) " Profoundly gorgeous stuff that appeals more to the senses than it does to the intellect" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 17, 2012
4/5 64% Cosmopolis (2012) " Don't panic, but Robert Pattinson may have been neutered." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 14, 2012
3/5 64% 2 Days in New York (2012) " Another genial but stubbornly generic comedy that breaches obvious material with ribald flavoring and rabid charm." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 6, 2012
3/5 66% Trishna (2012) " The film's final silliness casts a pall over all of its previous successes. " — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 19, 2012

Posted Jun 15, 2012
2/5 34% Lola Versus (2012) " Lola Versus never comes close to generating the sort of laughs or attitude required to fill out such a frail narrative." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 17, 2012
1/5 50% Free Samples (2013) " A deeply unpleasant micro-budget indie that has no clue how to extrapolate a single location into an entire feature, Free Samples is an ugly bit of work." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 1, 2012
2.5/5 90% Bernie (2012) " Bernie is poised to be a tough sell for Millennium Entertainment, its mild star power likely incapable of offsetting a garish premise and mixed reviews." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 27, 2012
4.5/5 92% The Cabin in the Woods (2012) " Drew Goddard's giddily brilliant The Cabin in the Woods has a lot on its twisted mind. " — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 10, 2012
2/5 11% Gone (2012) " With a title that's even more generic than the film's aesthetic, Gone will struggle to draw audiences. By next weekend, it'll be...wait for it... Not there, anymore." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 24, 2012
0/5 2% One for the Money (2012) " It's official: Katherine Heigl will not rest until every last person on Earth is a misogynist." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 27, 2012
4.5/5 89% Footnote (2012) " Joseph Cedar's Footnote is a wry, wise little film that revels in the cataclysmic import of a life's most ostensibly trivial details." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 11, 2012
.5/5 12% The Darkest Hour (2011) " The Darkest Hour isn't just a dark horse contender for the year's biggest joke, it's the darkest." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 27, 2011
1/5 12% Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011) " Chipwrecked is the sort of Sunday afternoon trifle that will mollify children and mortify their parents." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 15, 2011
3.5/5 50% The Rum Diary (2011) " While it may not be ground breaking stuff, The Rum Diary should register as a delirious ode to the 99%." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 27, 2011
3/5 93% 50/50 (2011) " A soft and sweet cancer drama that hits with the force of an ill-timed hug, 50/50 is the winsomely told story of a young man blindsided by his own body and the ways in which his inherently lonely struggle upturns his life. " — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 12, 2011
1/5 0% Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star (2011) " Of course, Bucky Larson isn't one of the year's worst films because its laughs are poisoned and problematic-rather, it's one of the year's worst films because there aren't any laughs at all." — Boxoffice Magazine
