Posted Apr 11, 2013
3.5/5 81% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " An impressive piece of American filmmaking that's every bit as compelling as it is annoyingly flawed. " — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Apr 11, 2013
3/5 68% Trance (2013) " An entertaining psychological thriller, [but] it doesn't quite live up to Boyle's more recent, award-winning work." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Apr 5, 2013
2.5/5 51% Welcome to the Punch (2013) " Ultimately a case of style over substance, and one that its top-notch British ensemble is unable to rescue. " — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Mar 26, 2013
2/5 43% Admission (2013) " Not even Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, arguably two of Hollywood's most likable performers, are able to do much to save Weitz's latest effort." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Mar 21, 2013
2/5 39% The Call (2013) " Another rote, run-of-the-mill thriller better suited for VOD than the big screen." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Mar 14, 2013
3.5/5 67% Stoker (2013) " The kind of movie that gets under your skin and stays there for days, an achievement on its own whether you enjoy Park's disturbing family drama or not." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Mar 14, 2013
2/5 60% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " Better than [Tim] Burton's dull acid trip down the rabbit hole, but that's not saying much." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Mar 7, 2013
3/5 26% 21 And Over (2013) " 21 and Over is hardly a classic in the making, [but] it's a surprisingly entertaining addition to the college party genre." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Feb 28, 2013
2/5 58% Snitch (2013) " There have been worse movies this year, but none that are so miserably tedious that an actor's facial hair steals the show." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Feb 21, 2013
2/5 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " Hands down the weakest entry in the series... incredibly generic in just about every way." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Feb 14, 2013
2.5/5 45% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " Beautiful Creatures doesn't feel like it was made by a studio that loved the books, but rather the idea of success that a film adaptation might bring." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Feb 13, 2013
3/5 80% Warm Bodies (2013) " It's not the next Twilight as some people anticipated, and thankfully, that's probably the best compliment you could give it." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jan 31, 2013
3/5 59% The Last Stand (2013) " It harkens back to earlier films like Commando, when you could get away with being silly as long as it was fun." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jan 18, 2013
3/5 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " Pulpy, good fun... a mostly entertaining and welcome return to the [gangster] genre." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jan 10, 2013
3.5/5 88% Django Unchained (2012) " Though [it's] propped up by a pair of fantastic performances... it simply doesn't live up to the high standards set by his previous films." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Dec 27, 2012
2.5/5 38% The Guilt Trip (2012) " The Guilt Trip may have sounded funnier on paper, but the film doesn't give you a lot to laugh about. " — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Dec 18, 2012
4/5 81% The Impossible (2012) " The Impossible is not only an extremely well-made survival thriller, but a poignant celebration of the human spirit." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Dec 13, 2012
3.5/5 66% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " A delightfully fun trip back to Middle-earth, even if it fails to justify its overstuffed 160 minute runtime." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Dec 13, 2012
2/5 38% Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) " As Hyde Park on Hudson bumbles its way through its sluggish 94-minute runtime, it becomes increasingly clear just how bland it is for a film featuring such colorful personalities." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Dec 6, 2012
3.5/5 76% Killing Them Softly (2012) " By making it feel like less of a gangster movie, Killing Them Softly feels oddly more genuine as a result." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Nov 28, 2012
3/5 13% Red Dawn (2012) " Red Dawn is far from perfect, [but] it's a crowd-pleasing action flick that does John Milius' original movie justice." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Nov 19, 2012
3.5/5 92% Skyfall (2012) " Daniel Craig's greatest Bond adventure yet... A shining example of what can be achieved when you combine blockbuster filmmaking with prestige talent." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Nov 8, 2012
3/5 89% Lincoln (2012) " Lincoln [gets] a little too caught up in the intricacies of the political process at times, but it's an engaging behind the scenes look at one of the country's most historic moments." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Nov 8, 2012
2.5/5 68% Cloud Atlas (2012) " Unlike anything you've ever seen and probably ever will see again... [but] it's also bloated and incredibly self-indulgent." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Oct 25, 2012
4/5 94% The Sessions (2012) " An incredibly low-key and feel-good adult movie about sex that's much funnier than most people are probably expecting, highlighted by a pair of Oscar-caliber performances by its two leads." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Oct 19, 2012
4/5 96% Argo (2012) " A well-written and expertly paced recount of an unbelievably true story that boldly announces itself as the first real contender of Oscar season." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Oct 10, 2012
2/5 39% Here Comes the Boom (2012) " When the laughs come so few and far between that you can count them on one hand, it's not surprising that it leaves such a bland taste in your mouth." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Oct 10, 2012
3.5/5 93% Looper (2012) " A really fresh and innovative spin on the genre that, although it doesn't quite result in the next great sci-fi classic, is definitely one of the better contemporary films of its kind." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Sep 27, 2012
3.5/5 81% Pitch Perfect (2012) " An immensely charming comedy filled with great performances (both acting and musical) that's only slightly hindered by its conventional formula." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Sep 27, 2012

Posted Sep 20, 2012
2/5 22% The Words (2012) " While the idea of staging a story within a story within a story might sound like an intriguing narrative device, co-writers/directors Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal confuse complexity for cleverness." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Sep 6, 2012
3.5/5 87% ParaNorman (2012) " A really enjoyable Amblin-like adventure comedy that will make for a fantastic Halloween family double feature with The Nightmare Before Christmas." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Aug 16, 2012
2.5/5 65% The Campaign (2012) " The Campaign walks a fine line between silly and stupid, and although it veers into the latter far too often, Ferrell and Galifianakis remain committed to their roles." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Aug 9, 2012
2.5/5 31% Total Recall (2012) " Wiseman does his best to freshen things up, and in some cases, he actually improves upon the original, but you can never quite shake that feeling of déjà vu." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Aug 2, 2012
3/5 79% Ruby Sparks (2012) " A clever but flawed Woody Allen-esque comedy that deserves to be judged on its own merits." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jul 26, 2012
3/5 51% Savages (2012) " A really solid crime thriller and a welcome return to the kind of movie that Stone needs to make more often." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jul 5, 2012
3.5/5 73% The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) " It's a little darker and more grounded in reality, but for the most part, it's the same Spider-Man that everyone knows and loves." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jun 29, 2012
3.5/5 69% Ted (2012) " [It's] such a solid, confident debut that you have to wonder why it took [MacFarlane] so long to make the jump in the first place." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jun 28, 2012
3/5 56% People Like Us (2012) " The movie takes a relatively implausible premise and manages to make it more enjoyable than it probably deserves to be thanks to some solid performances by its cast." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jun 28, 2012
2.5/5 55% Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012) " There's nothing very funny about the apocalypse, and as a result, Seeking a Friend is never able to become the movie it wants to be." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Jun 21, 2012
2.5/5 48% Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) " The movie has a lot of good ideas, [but] they're assembled in such a disjointed fashion that the sum is never equal to its parts." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted May 31, 2012
3/5 34% Battleship (2012) " Battleship knows that it's big, dumb summer fun, and it doesn't pretend to be anything more." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted May 17, 2012
3/5 58% The Dictator (2012) " Though The Dictator feels disjointed at times... Cohen and co-writer Alex Berg strike a great balance between the obscene and shocking bits and the more clever gags." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted May 12, 2012
3/5 64% The Five-Year Engagement (2012) " The Five-Year Engagement does just enough to keep audiences entertained, but with the talent involved, you'd expect better." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Apr 26, 2012
2/5 51% The Three Stooges (2012) " [A] well-meaning but hopeless homage to Moe, Larry and Curly that even longtime Stooges fans won't find very funny." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Apr 13, 2012
4/5 91% Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) " A character-driven dramedy with equal parts humor and heart, Safety Not Guaranteed is a magical film about the human spirit whose charm is impossible to ignore." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Apr 6, 2012
2/5 67% God Bless America (2012) " It never amounts to much more than a one-dimensional piece of revenge fantasy that isn't any better than the subjects it's satirizing." — Bullz-Eye.com
Posted Apr 5, 2012
1.5/5 26% Wrath of the Titans (2012) " For a movie featuring so many iconic mythological figures, the battles are completely void of excitement, none more so than the climactic showdown with Kronos." — Bullz-Eye.com
