3/5 53% A.C.O.D. (2013) " Any movie starring these justly adored actors is likely to have its share of highlights and both are, indeed, delightful to watch." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 3, 2013
3/5 46% Parkland (2013) " The movie winds up telling us far more about our own time than the nation-changing event that it depicts." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 3, 2013
4/5 83% Don Jon (2013) " Writer-director-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt is so savvy about the workings of our small minds that he knows just how to reel us in (sex) before schooling us on the important things in life (love)." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 26, 2013
2/5 16% Baggage Claim (2013) " The results are so forgettable - and, yes, fake - it hardly seems worth the effort required to criticize them." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 26, 2013
1/5 10% Jewtopia (2013) " Fogel and co-writer Sam Wolfson - adapting their own off-Broadway play - take ... a lazy approach to the cultural divides they aim to satirize." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 19, 2013
3/5 50% Mademoiselle C (2013) " As vanity projects go, this one's unusually well-made - as any portrait of an iconic stylist ought to be." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 12, 2013
3/5 33% Jayne Mansfield's Car (2013) " Thornton's forthright direction fits the subject matter. And the actors are skilled enough to find shadings within starkly sketched scenarios." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 12, 2013
2/5 0% Stranded (2013) " Sometimes an earnest, easily forgettable B-movie is just what you're looking for. But rarely do you feel like spending 12 bucks to see it - especially when that appears also to be the film's entire budget." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 25, 2013
15% The Time Being (2013) " While the underdeveloped script - co-written by Richard Gladstein - never earns its sense of self-importance, the visuals are evocative enough to draw us further into the movie's ultimately unsatisfying mysteries." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 25, 2013
2/5 93% Still Mine (2013) " If last year's searing old-age tragedy, "Amour" - or 2006's bravely blunt "Away From Her" - weren't digestible enough for you, perhaps this mild romance will suffice." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
2/5 —— The Romeows (2013) " For the most part, we sit in on the conversations as good-natured, ordinary guys - all graduates of Brooklyn College in the '50s - reminisce." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/5 65% Nicky's Family (2013) " Hokey reenactments of the war years do the film no favors, but it's worth sticking them out to witness a humanity that never could be faked." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/5 62% Broken (2013) " Norris has adapted Daniel Clay's young adult novel with a sensitivity that will appeal to teens and adults alike." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/5 83% Computer Chess (2013) " Bujalski has a fantastic eye. The movie was shot in black and white with '70s video cameras, and could easily be mistaken for a documentary." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
2/5 37% Dealing With Idiots (2013) " There are a few inspired moments, but Garlin goes for easy laughs, and the actors' broad improvisations often fall flat." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 18, 2013
2/5 8% Grown Ups 2 (2013) " Like most Adam Sandler movies, it's exactly like most Adam Sandler movies." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 11, 2013
4/5 81% Crystal Fairy (2013) " On paper, this all sounds like a nightmare for any sober viewer. But Silva keeps things on the right path, deftly digging into overlooked corners of the American psyche." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 11, 2013
1/5 12% Pawn Shop Chronicles (2013) " It gets pretty tiring watching decent actors indulge in such broad and unfunny caricatures." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 11, 2013
4/5 95% The Hunt (2013) " Though a few scenes feel contrived, Vinterberg gets right to the dark heart of human nature." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 11, 2013
2/5 36% The Hot Flashes (2013) " Susan Seidelman has been making these blandly safe movies for years now; what happened to the edgy exuberance of her early films, like "Smithereens" or "Desperately Seeking Susan"?" — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 11, 2013
3/5 56% The Look of Love (2013) " Compelling entertainment, as any biopic about Paul Raymond ought to be." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 4, 2013
4/5 93% Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (2013) " It seems like a bittersweet inevitability that even a celebration as reverential as this one is suffused with such aching poignancy." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 4, 2013
2/5 7% Just Like A Woman (2013) " Just like its meaningless title, Rachid Bouchareb's disappointing drama evokes better works without developing any distinct identity of its own." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 4, 2013
3/5 63% Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain (2013) " Some of Hart's set -- including jokes about his security team and an inspired recounting of a disastrous trip to a dude ranch -- is hilarious. And his profane outrage is often funny enough to sell the weaker writing." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 2, 2013
3/5 75% Despicable Me 2 (2013) " Armed with masses of minions and an excess of adorability, "Despicable Me 2" is guaranteed to charm anyone who's out of school and already bored." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 2, 2013
3/5 72% How To Make Money Selling Drugs (2013) " Cooke doesn't aim for impartiality and the movie would have benefitted from a broader range of viewpoints. But his concept is impressively original, and he follows through with undeniable creativity." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 27, 2013
2/5 54% Some Girl(s) (2013) " Mayer does little to open up LaBute's original play, and the staginess often feels oppressive. The performances are mixed, too." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 27, 2013
2/5 47% I'm So Excited! (2013) " Everyone deserves a mindless break now and then, but Pedro Almodóvar's new comedy "I'm So Excited!" is so lacking in substance, one can't help wishing he'd taken his vacation off-screen instead." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 27, 2013
3/5 65% The Heat (2013) " "The Heat" would be a fairly ordinary entry in the female buddy cop genre except ... there is no genre yet. Happily, Melissa McCarthy may single-handedly change that." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 27, 2013
3/5 38% Three Worlds (2013) " Corsini sends her fine cast down a recognizable route, but wisely stands back, allowing them to navigate the twists and turns." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 20, 2013
4/5 97% A Hijacking (2013) " Well-made, skillfully acted and utterly grueling to sit through." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 20, 2013
2/5 64% Unfinished Song (2013) " Thank goodness, at least, for the sterling cast. In fact, you won't find a better example of the ways in which craft and talent can elevate even the most rote material." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 20, 2013
3/5 78% Monsters University (2013) " The movie is not up to the company's highest standards, but it's certainly better than most other kid flicks you'll see this year." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 20, 2013
3/5 90% Storm Surfers 3D (2013) " Finally, a 3-D ticket worth paying for." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 13, 2013
3/5 83% Aliyah (2013) " Wajeman introduces some unexpected elements, which he handles with surprising dexterity considering this is his feature debut." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 13, 2013
4/5 97% Call Me Kuchu (2013) " The very best - and, alas, the very worst - of human nature is captured in this heartbreaking and inspiring documentary from Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 13, 2013
2/5 25% Vehicle 19 (2013) " [Walker] is forced to really act here. It's a task he faces with admirable dedication, if not unqualified success." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 13, 2013
2/5 84% This Is the End (2013) " It's no minor accomplishment to make one of the most indulgent projects in Hollywood history. But with "This Is the End," Seth Rogen and his pals have indeed achieved this dubious goal." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 11, 2013
1/5 65% Hey Bartender (2013) " Treats cocktail crafting as if it were nuclear engineering." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 7, 2013
2/5 17% As Cool As I Am (2013) " Simplistic plotting, pedestrian visuals and poorly-handled melodrama do lend the project a cheap, made-for-TV feel, which is underscored by the fact that Danes and Marsden don't seem obliged to turn in their best work." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 7, 2013
3/5 63% The Prey (2013) " Deftly strips away the phoniness of a big-budget studio production." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 7, 2013
3/5 64% Tiger Eyes (2013) " There are no surprises among the characters - depressed mom (Amy Jo Johnson), controlling aunt (Cynthia Stevenson), new boyfriend (Tatanka Means) - but the cast is strong enough to build on familiar elements." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 7, 2013
3/5 22% Rapture-Palooza (2013) " The laughs are consistent and the cast (including Rob Corddry, Paul Scheer and Ken Jeong as a very petty God) is a riot." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 6, 2013
4/5 84% Much Ado About Nothing (2013) " "Much Ado About Nothing" is an absolute delight, as merry as the day is long." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 6, 2013
2/5 4% Vampires Suck (2010) " All but the most die-hard fans can agree that the Twilight movies are spoof-worthy. So it's too bad they don't get a worthy spoof." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 3, 2013
3/5 76% The Kings of Summer (2013) " If the structure establishes a calculated distance, the movie's raw materials feel just rough-hewn enough to draw us in." — New York Daily News
Posted May 30, 2013
2/5 81% Shadow Dancer (2013) " Riseborough once again transforms herself dramatically, expanding her role as best she can. But neither the hesitant script - adapted by Tom Bradby from his own novel - nor the sluggish tempo give her enough support." — New York Daily News
Posted May 30, 2013
2/5 50% Now You See Me (2013) " You want famous faces? Flirtations? Heists, thrills, car chases, explosions, disappearing bunny rabbits? All here, and all designed to distract us from the emptiness at the show's core." — New York Daily News
Posted May 30, 2013
1/5 17% A Green Story (2013) " All we get in this extended publicity stunt is clichéd filmmaking, stilted performances and a self-aggrandizing hero." — New York Daily News
