3/5 89% Storm Surfers 3D (2013) " Finally, a 3-D ticket worth paying for." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 13, 2013
3/5 80% 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 85% 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 62% Hey Bartender (2013) " Treats cocktail crafting as if it were nuclear engineering." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 7, 2013
2/5 0% 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 69% 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 24% 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 73% 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 82% 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
Posted May 23, 2013
3/5 93% Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton As Himself (2013) " Much like its subject, Tom Bean and Luke Poling's appreciative biography of the late George Plimpton manages to be simultaneously urbane and enthusiastic." — New York Daily News
Posted May 23, 2013
5/5 91% We Steal Secrets: The Story Of Wikileaks (2013) " Future historians will find the ideal chronicle of our era in the superbly crafted "We Steal Secrets."" — New York Daily News
Posted May 23, 2013
4/5 71% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " Lin understands this track inside and out, backwards and forwards - four directions out of countless others in which he spins us." — New York Daily News
Posted May 23, 2013
1/5 27% 33 Postcards (2013) " There's no explaining the presence of Guy Pearce in Pauline Chan's sappy, atonal family drama. But it's easy enough to understand why he looks so uncomfortable throughout." — New York Daily News
Posted May 16, 2013
3/5 79% Augustine (2013) " [A] somber, intelligent period drama ..." — New York Daily News
Posted May 16, 2013
2/5 28% Erased (2013) " Most people can only watch the same movie so many times. But Philipp Stölzl is clearly hopeful that when you're done with "Taken" (and "Taken 2"), you'll want more of the same." — New York Daily News
Posted May 16, 2013
2/5 50% The Great Gatsby (2013) " The themes are spelled out with all the refinement of Cliffs Notes. The CGI gimmicks add nothing relevant (skip the 3-D ticket). And few of the actors seem at all comfortable amid the decadence." — New York Daily News
Posted May 9, 2013
1/5 0% How Sweet It Is (2013) " There's not much that can kindly be said about either the goofy script or awkward direction." — New York Daily News
Posted May 9, 2013
1/5 8% Java Heat (2013) " Remember all those years when Mickey Rourke was languishing in cheap, straight-to-DVD work that paid his rent and wasted his talents? Apparently, he actually enjoyed making those movies." — New York Daily News
Posted May 9, 2013
3/5 76% Venus And Serena (2013) " The filmmakers remain admirably unbiased, a rarity in biographical documentaries. They neither worship nor vilify their subject, but allow her to define herself on her own unapologetically complex terms." — New York Daily News
Posted May 9, 2013
2/5 36% Peeples (2013) " "Peeples" may not break any new ground, but it's about time Perry threw a family reunion hosted by someone other than Madea." — New York Daily News
Posted May 9, 2013
3/5 63% Greetings From Tim Buckley (2013) " In paying homage to two iconic performers, he's given a former small-screen star the chance to announce his own cinematic arrival." — New York Daily News
Posted May 3, 2013
2/5 52% Post Tenebras Lux (2013) " Regadas overdoes everything in a self-indulgent presentation of trite fantasies masked as memories." — New York Daily News
Posted May 2, 2013
4/5 82% Something in the Air (2013) " Assayas looks back on youth with both the generous affection and wry clarity of adulthood." — New York Daily News
Posted May 2, 2013
2/5 75% Love Is All You Need (2013) " Bier and Jensen have relied so heavily on clichés that their effort can't compare even to the formulaic movies they're trying to emulate." — New York Daily News
Posted May 2, 2013
1/5 25% Aroused (2013) " Director Deborah Anderson ... turns a welcome opportunity into a shameless example of exploitation and self-promotion." — New York Daily News
Posted May 2, 2013
3/5 49% Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf's (2013) " This glossy doc is indisputably attractive, with lots of famous faces, amusing stories and stunning clothes to admire." — New York Daily News
Posted May 2, 2013
3/5 42% Midnight's Children (2013) " The cinematography is memorably vibrant, and the performances are solid, even if they pass by too swiftly. Most of all, of course, the subject matter remains fascinating." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 25, 2013
2/5 48% At Any Price (2013) " Easy resolutions compete with preposterous melodrama." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 25, 2013
1/5 26% The Numbers Station (2013) " Akerman does work hard to keep up the energy level. Cusack, though, seems bored by the superficial proceedings, which don't even offer the distraction of a real romantic connection or a suspenseful confrontation." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 25, 2013
3/5 54% The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) " Ahmed keeps bringing the focus back to an intriguingly ambiguous center. His scenes with Schreiber have a crackling tension, and he pushes back against the script's obvious manipulations." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 25, 2013
4/5 90% Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay (2013) " To be able to find, nurture and share one's passion with such unceasing enthusiasm is surely the essence of magic itself." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 18, 2013
3/5 88% In the House (2013) " Neither Claude nor Ozon comes up with a satisfying finish to this intriguing setup. But because they're both so committed to seducing their audience, it's a lot of fun watching them try." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 18, 2013
2/5 77% It's a Disaster (2013) " Berger's got some clever ideas, but he does not push far in exploring them. And aside from Cross, there is virtually no one to like among these self-involved suburbanites." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 11, 2013
4/5 88% The Angels' Share (2013) " While there's no ignoring the social ills that haunt Robbie's hopes, the movie's optimism serves as a cheeky, and surprisingly inspiring, retort." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 11, 2013
3/5 65% Disconnect (2013) " [An] unsubtle but unsettling assessment of contemporary technology." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 11, 2013
3/5 62% Evil Dead (2013) " Alvarez is primarily interested in upping his corpse count, in the most gruesome ways imaginable. In this, he is undeniably successful. He also establishes an effectively breathless pace, and weaves in a steady stream of fan-friendly references." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
3/5 26% The Brass Teapot (2013) " There's not much depth to Mosley's debut, which is based on a short story by Tim Macy. But Michael Angarano and Juno Temple are an appealing pair as John and Alice, struggling suburbanites." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
3/5 55% Down the Shore (2013) " Costa brings a nice, lived-in sexiness to the evocatively shot setting, and Gandolfini settles into his character with extraordinary skill and sensitivity." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
2/5 4% 6 Souls (2013) " What unholy spirit could have possessed Julianne Moore when she signed on for the sort of throwaway horror flick that would normally star unknowns and go straight to DVD?" — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
4/5 56% The Company You Keep (2013) " Though consistently engaging, Redford's latest directorial endeavor does feel like a plea. You can almost hear him coaxing us to learn from the past, even as we rush into the future." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
2/5 36% Family Weekend (2013) " There's no overcoming the poorly conceived premise of Benjamin Epps' debut comedy. But a strong start and solid cast take it further than one might expect." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 28, 2013
2/5 9% The Host (2013) " We're treated to the bizarre spectacle of Ronan arguing with herself repeatedly over which guy to kiss. But since both are similarly bland, it barely matters." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 28, 2013
2/5 15% Dorfman in Love (2013) " Brad Leong's "quirky" romantic comedy retreads ground that is already so well worn, everyone just slides right through." — New York Daily News
