5/5 94% Win Win (2011) " Win Win is an all-around solid, well-written, brilliantly acted film that challenges and entertains. It's a no-lose proposition." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Apr 4, 2011
3/5 78% Mooz-lum (2011) " Poignant, relevant, and often quite moving in its characterizations." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Apr 4, 2011

Posted Mar 26, 2011
35% Battle: Los Angeles (2011) " Too caught up in trying to be a no-nonsense, Marine-recruitment war movie than on being an entertainment vehicle. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Posted Mar 14, 2011
29% Take Me Home Tonight (2011) " This film succeeds (just barely) not by poking fun at the '80s but by embracing the charm of its endearing lead actors. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Mar 11, 2011
3/5 29% Take Me Home Tonight (2011) " A film that succeeds (but just barely), not by poking fun at the decade of leg warmers, big hair, and even bigger cell phones, but rather by embracing the charm of its endearing lead actors." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Mar 7, 2011
5/5 81% Four Lions (2010) " The amount of edge to this edgy comedy and Morris's chutzpah for demanding that the film's tone and its uneasy ending remain intact throughout the film's financing." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Feb 28, 2011

4/5 80% Barney's Version (2011) " While sometimes a little scatter-brained and occasionally a bit uneven, this wise, witty character piece feels much lighter and breezier than it actually is." — Frank's Reel Reviews

4% The Roommate (2011) " This almost straight knock-off of 'Single White Female' is told in a colorless, A-to-Z manner with very little suspense, no clever twists, and no visual style. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 10, 2011
93% Another Year (2010) " An unassuming little masterpiece. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Feb 5, 2011
5/5 93% Another Year (2010) " Downbeat, slow, calculated and muted, Leigh's slice-of-life film often just lies there, studying a facial wrinkle, an empty wine glass, or a ripened fruit in the garden. But the linger displays a vividly intelligent knowledge of filmmaking." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Jan 31, 2011
4/5 67% The Company Men (2011) " It's so well acted and constructed in such a manner it allows viewers the opportunity to absorb the concept of job loss, and more closely sympathize with those affected." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Jan 24, 2011
5/5 88% Blue Valentine (2010) " It's this slow grinding down of the gears of marriage that Cianfrance brings so realistically to the big screen, aided by the heartfelt performances of Gosling and Williams that'll surely garner recognition come Oscar time." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Jan 24, 2011
46% Step Up 3-D (2010) Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Jan 24, 2011

Posted Jan 17, 2011
5/5 87% Black Swan (2010) " Aronofsky owes a bit of debt to Roman Polanski as he masterfully depicts the slow burn of the human spirit and the endless cycle of good and evil with Black Swan." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Jan 17, 2011
2/5 88% White Material (2010) " While we get the idea Denis knows what she's doing with the metaphor of racial recompense in her movie, whether or not she "gets" the idea of fleshy, full-bodied characters grounded in a sense of viewer compassion is still up in the air." — Frank's Reel Reviews
Posted Jan 17, 2011
94% The King's Speech (2010) " The film begins to crackle with life the moment Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth first appear on screen together. Their playful banter offsets the story's gloomy backdrop. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Dec 20, 2010

Posted Sep 19, 2010
