3.5/5 67% World War Z (2013) " World War Z is a surprisingly entertaining, yet slightly generic zombie picture that shows promising scope and globe-trotting action, but suffers from too many genre cliches." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 24, 2013
3.5/5 87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness is a bigger and much louder sequel, which sacrifices brains and character building for expensive spectacle." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 19, 2013
3/5 50% Now You See Me (2013) " Now You See Me is a slick crime caper that works because of its witty dialogue & large cast, but falls flat due to a finale that fails to leave any sort of magical impression " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 10, 2013
4/5 49% Pain & Gain (2013) " Pain & Gain is Michael Bay's best film yet, fusing his high-octane and in-your-face directing style with pitch black comedy that makes for the funniest film of 2013." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 2, 2013
4/5 49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " The Great Gatsby is a visual treat & one worth the 3D surcharge, but feels like a lopsided endeavor that captures the style & energy, but not exactly the heart & soul" — We Got This Covered
Posted Aug 29, 2013
3.5/5 54% Oblivion (2013) " Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion is far from original and instead acts as yet another genre rip-off that looks shiny and expensive, but is hollow and lifeless where it counts" — We Got This Covered
Posted Aug 12, 2013
5/5 82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines is an epic film that towers high above the rest as the very best film of 2013." — We Got This Covered
Posted Aug 6, 2013
3/5 79% 42 (2013) " Brian Helgeland's 42 is a serviceable biopic that graces over the serious drama in exchange for a quick emotional reactions." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jul 16, 2013
3/5 46% Bullet to the Head (2013) " Walter Hill's Bullet to the Head is a gritty and tough throwback to times when action films were simple, fun and still considered entertaining and worth the money. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Jul 15, 2013
3.5/5 66% Spring Breakers (2013) " Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers is rough around the edges, visually pleasing, experimental and a downright bizarre film, but one that's worthy of at least one viewing." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jul 7, 2013
1.5/5 4% 6 Souls (2013) " 6 Souls is as boring as they come. It's a horror mystery with not a single second of suspense and a batch of uninteresting and naturally boring performances." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jul 4, 2013
3/5 28% Upside Down (2013) " Upside Down is an interesting mess - coming across mostly as a visual disaster with big dreams and aspirations that never quite pan out." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 25, 2013
2.5/5 36% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " Don Scardino's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a middling and extremely dated comedy that only gets by because of Jim Carrey's over-the-top performance." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 25, 2013
4/5 52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " Jack the Giant Slayer is a quick and simple action adventure that comes loaded with plenty of laughs and CGI spectacle." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 18, 2013
4.5/5 81% Warm Bodies (2013) " Warm Bodies is a charming, fresh and always funny "zom-com" with a lot of heart, thanks to director Jonathan Levine's ability to explore love in the most unexpected of places." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 9, 2013
2/5 14% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " A Good Day to Die Hard is the worst Die Hard yet; substituting loud, noisy and sloppily-filmed action for what used to be one of Bruce Willis' more entertaining roles." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 9, 2013
2.5/5 29% The Numbers Station (2013) " The Numbers Station is a cheap and predictable thriller that works only because of its two leading cast members: John Cusack and Malin Akerman." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 2, 2013
3/5 37% Dark Skies (2013) " Dark Skies is a slow-burn paranormal horror film that spends way too much time on setup and not enough on reveal." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jun 1, 2013
3/5 95% National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) " National Lampoon's Vacation is a comedic cross-country adventure like no other, thanks to Chevy Chase and the rest of the Griswold family." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 31, 2013
4/5 84% Side Effects (2013) " Side Effects is a twisty pharmaceutical thriller that functions both as an effective drama and a social commentary on America's rising obsession with prescription drugs." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 27, 2013
4/5 60% The Last Stand (2013) " The Last Stand is a fast-paced, action-heavy throwback, shot with a fluid visual eye by Kim Jee-Woon. Arnold Schwarzenegger is back and better than ever. " — We Got This Covered
Posted May 27, 2013
4.5/5 66% Cloud Atlas (2012) " Cloud Atlas is a mesmerizing piece of art that experimentally pushes the medium of film to daring new heights." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 15, 2013
4.5/5 61% Jack Reacher (2012) " Christopher McQuarrie's Jack Reacher is that rare blend of hard-hitting action and smooth-talking dialogue that makes for an entertaining film." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 7, 2013
4/5 81% The Impossible (2012) " Juan Antonio Bayona's The Impossible is an emotional tale of hope and survival, shot with an unafraid eye for disaster and tragedy." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 7, 2013
3/5 51% Promised Land (2013) " Gus Van Sant's Promised Land is an engaging performance-driven drama that works more often than not." — We Got This Covered
Posted May 7, 2013
3/5 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad attempts to recreate mobster magic, but ends up fumbling into an endless amount of clichés and some horrid digital photography to boot." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 23, 2013
4/5 88% Django Unchained (2012) " Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a brilliant mixture of over-the-top violence and clever writing, making for the most entertaining film of 2012." — We Got This Covered
Posted Apr 23, 2013
4.5/5 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty is a grueling masterpiece that captures the hunt for bin Laden with a daunting amount of realism and efficiency." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 31, 2013
4.5/5 75% Killing Them Softly (2012) " Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly is a potent and miraculously-shot film that captures America's recent financial collapse through a criminal lens." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 24, 2013
3.5/5 65% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " The Hobbit may not be as memorable as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it's a mostly faithful adaptation that sticks to the same tones and themes of the source material." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 23, 2013
3.5/5 87% Life of Pi (2012) " Ang Lee's Life of Pi is a visual masterpiece, often transcending the boundaries of special effects and what they're capable of, but the film's actual story is hollow." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 23, 2013
3/5 12% Red Dawn (2012) " Dan Bradley's Red Dawn does a fine job distancing itself from the original, but while doing so becomes a mostly mindless action picture with a rather shallow message." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 10, 2013
4/5 97% Schindler's List (1993) " Schindler's List is one of Steven Spielberg's most powerful films, capturing the tragedy and horror while still finding room to inspire and move generations." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 9, 2013
4/5 86% Wreck-it Ralph (2012) " Wreck-It Ralph is a highly original and exciting film that puts Disney Animation right up there with Pixar in terms of providing a story full of emotion, heart and energy." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 8, 2013
4/5 94% The Sessions (2012) " Ben Lewin's The Sessions is an emotionally charged film with a smart sense of humor that'll have you tearing up from equal doses of laughter and drama." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 5, 2013
4/5 85% The Master (2012) " Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master is a challenging film, like most of his work. One that evokes a spellbinding performance out of Joaquin Phoenix." — We Got This Covered
Posted Mar 3, 2013
4/5 96% Argo (2012) " Argo is director Ben Affleck's weakest effort by far, but still a well-made, performance-driven historical drama." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 23, 2013
3/5 49% The Man With the Iron Fists (2012) " The Man with the Iron Fists is an off-balanced and bloated martial arts film that barely gets by on its gorgeous set design." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 17, 2013
3.5/5 85% The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) " Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of the best coming-of-age stories I've seen in years, thanks to his enduring and truthful script." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 17, 2013
4.5/5 92% Skyfall (2012) " Sam Mendes revitalizes the James Bond franchise with a slick and action-packed entry. Daniel Craig proves yet again why he's the best Bond yet." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 13, 2013
4/5 78% Flight (2012) " Robert Zemeckis boldly returns to live action with a soaring drama that exceeds expectations thanks to Denzel Washington's Oscar-nominated performance." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 12, 2013
4/5 83% Seven Psychopaths (2012) " Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths is a sharp piece of fun that both pokes at the current climate of filmmaking while also adding its own brand of humor to the mix." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/5 24% Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) " Paranormal Activity 4 is the worst of the series and one of the worst horror films ever made. It's bloated, drawn-out and has no idea how to provide a single scare." — We Got This Covered
Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/5 43% The Paperboy (2012) " Lee Daniels' The Paperboy is a steamy, sweaty and trashy piece of cinema that rarely gets by on its filthy and wild performances." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 26, 2013
3.5/5 85% End of Watch (2012) " David Ayer's End of Watch is an unflinching cop drama that uses the handheld approach to heighten the drama and escalate the tension." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 23, 2013
2/5 21% Taken 2 (2012) " Taken 2 is a pointless sequel that tries to capitalize on everything that worked in the first film, without actually including any of it." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 21, 2013
4/5 78% Dredd (2012) " Pete Travis' Dredd is a blood-soaked beauty that uses the 3D element perfectly" — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 13, 2013
7/10 46% Everybody's Fine (2009) " Kirk Jones' Everybody's Fine is 2/3 a sturdy family drama, anchored by a four pack of suitable performances and a touching story." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
9/10 79% The Grey (2012) " There hasn't been a more intense movie than The Grey this year." — We Got This Covered
