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
Posted Jan 4, 2013
5/10 43% Mother's Day (2012) " The film is a mindless mess that piles on mistake after mistake in a hurry. The characters are as dumb as they come and the direction is simple and lacking." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
10/10 100% The Terminator (1984) " The Terminator remains one of the best science fiction movies ever made and I doubt that'll ever change." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
5/10 51% Contraband (2012) " Contraband is a gritty, curse-filled heist film that wastes more time on cliches than trying to keep you focused on the task at hand." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 4, 2013
8/10 58% Red Hook Summer (2012) " Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer is the director embracing the change of filmmaking while still being able to capture personal, yet completely relevant stories unlike anyone working in the field today." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 3, 2013
7/10 76% Premium Rush (2012) " David Koepp's Premium Rush is an energetic and creative way to kill an hour and a half without feeling like a complete waste of time." — We Got This Covered
Posted Jan 3, 2013
7.5/10 70% Men in Black III (2012) " Men in Black 3 is a fun and entertaining film that comes to Blu-Ray with great quality and a wonderful selection of special features." — We Got This Covered
Posted Dec 4, 2012
9/10 78% Brave (2012) " Brave is yet another spectacular animated film released on Blu-Ray with the highest picture and audio quality." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 27, 2012
7.5/10 65% The Expendables 2 (2012) " The Expendables 2 is bigger and better than the first film thanks to Simon West's direction." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 27, 2012
6/10 67% Lawless (2012) " Lawless had great potential, but due to a poor storytelling technique that causes the film to be rather dull, we merely end up with a film that just looks good." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 27, 2012
6/10 21% Madea's Witness Protection (2012) " Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection is typical Perry fluff, but entertaining none-the-less. It's not his strongest Madea film, but it certainly isn't his worst. I'd peg it somewhere in the middle." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 19, 2012
8/10 56% Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012) " Lorene Scafaria's Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a bleak, honest and slightly humorous look at the end of the world that works tremendously well." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 7, 2012
6/10 29% Red Lights (2012) " Red Lights is proof that Rodrigo Cortés knows how to shoot a film and make it look gorgeous. It's also proof that a cast list as strong as this one still can't overcome a weak script that fizzles out by the second act." — We Got This Covered
Posted Nov 7, 2012
8/10 98% Strangers on a Train (1951) " Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is an expertly made thriller with fluid camera work, dark humor and enough cliff-hanging build up to keep you biting your nails until there's nothing left. Easily one of Hitch's most underrated films." — We Got This Covered
Posted Oct 14, 2012
10/10 74% Prometheus (2012) " Ridley Scott's Prometheus isn't a perfect science fiction masterpiece, but it's visually astonishing and very entertaining. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Oct 14, 2012
9/10 92% Marvel's The Avengers (2012) " Joss Whedon's The Avengers is one of those rare big-budget summer blockbusters that doesn't completely insult your intelligence. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 26, 2012
7.5/10 77% Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012) " Katy Perry: Part of Me is one of those rare music documentaries that is worth a viewing even for non-fans. The film is even-handed and moving in its reveal of the larger-than-life pop sensation. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 23, 2012
7.5/10 59% Wanderlust (2012) " There's a lot to love in Wanderlust, but it's a film geared towards a very specific crowd. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
7/10 48% The FP (2012) " The FP is visually engaging and full of odd concepts, but not once does the film feel like anything more than a big joke. There's talent buried somewhere underneath all of the homages to The Warriors, I'm just not sure where." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
8/10 26% Wrath of the Titans (2012) " Wrath of the Titans rewards us for having to sit through its poorly made predecessor. It's full of expensive visuals, intense action sequences and even more ancient myths and creatures." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
8.5/10 85% 21 Jump Street (2012) " 21 Jump Street is surprisingly fresh and hilarious, with a hyper-kinetic sense of direction that makes the jokes stick and the acting memorable. This is a must buy Blu-Ray." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
7/10 98% The Artist (2011) " The Artist is the definitive example of grade A Oscar bait. Aside from its two breakout performances by the leads, it's essentially a tribute to black and white silent films. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
8.5/10 87% Bullhead (2012) " Bullhead is a tragic drama that deserves all of the praise it's getting, if not more. Thanks to the film's bold direction and a unique performance by Matthias Schoenaerts, it makes for an almost perfect viewing experience." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 22, 2012
9/10 66% Friends With Kids (2012) " Friends With Kids is an excellent, insightful romantic comedy, the genre at its very best, and Lionsgate has put together a stellar Blu-Ray release. Highly recommended." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
6/10 52% Being Flynn (2012) " Being Flynn is a revealing and true film with a universal message, but the lack of bonus material makes the Blu-Ray a rental at best." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
8/10 33% The Butterfly Effect (2004) " The Butterfly Effect is a promising and original sci-fi film from newcomer directors Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10 38% Lockout (Unrated) (2012) " Guy Pearce channels his inner badass as the film's lead. His cross between John McClane and Snake Plissken injects the film with much-needed comedy." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10 80% Get the Gringo (2012) " Get the Gringo is over-the-top fun in the cheapest of ways, but Gibson's comedy mixed with the multiple bloody shootouts makes it a worthwhile rental." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10 44% Casa de mi padre (2012) " Casa de mi Padre is Will Ferrell's weirdest film yet, paying complete homage to Spanish westerns while also becoming its own film." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
6/10 32% Intruders (2012) " Intruders is a complete failure. Clive Owen's performance is off-balance and out of focus, while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's direction is full of overused horror shots, which elicit not a single scare." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7.5/10 41% The Flowers of War (2011) " Christian Bale carries yet another bloated war drama with a performance that slowly develops in front of your eyes." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 21, 2012
5/10 41% Silent House (2012) " Elizabeth Olsen's scream-filled performance, combined with the one take filming technique and the minimal lighting make Silent House a creepy and atmospheric film, but the script only has enough material for 25 good minutes." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
9/10 84% Total Recall (1990) " Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic Total Recall holds up very well, even against some of today's sci-fi standards. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
4/10 —— Hijacked (2012) " Hijacked is the typical straight-to-home video B movie trash that you'd expect. Randy Couture makes the film somewhat enjoyable, but only because his deadpan acting is hilarious." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7/10 17% LOL (2012) " LOL is your standard teenage coming-of-age affair. Nothing about the film strikes as thoughtful or deep, with director Lisa Azuelos keeping things mostly uncomplicated and easy to watch." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
5.5/10 60% Breathless (2012) " Breathless is a dark and twisted character comedy that works because of the performances by the cast members, but doesn't work because of the story and just how simple it is." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 85% The Hunger Games (2012) " The Blu-Ray disc will impress the fans with its flawless audio track and serviceable video transfer." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
9/10 100% Jaws (1975) " Steven Spielberg's Jaws takes a bite out of the Blu-Ray format with a remastered video transfer, an absorbent 7.1 audio track and a whole bunch of bonus content that makes this a worthy purchase for longtime fans and those looking for a classic." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
5/10 —— One in the Chamber (2012) " William Kaufman's One in the Chamber is exactly what you'd expect for a straight-to-home video release from Anchor Bay." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7/10 20% The Lucky One (2012) " The Lucky One isn't the best Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it's not the worst. It makes for yet another harmless romance that excels because of the chemistry between its two leads." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
8/10 34% Battleship (2012) " Peter Berg's Battleship is a sinking disaster that rarely stays afloat, but Universal's Blu-Ray disc is a finely tuned presentation that will put your HDTV and surround sound to the test." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10 92% School of Rock (2003) " Richard Linklater's School of Rock still remains one of Jack Black's very best performances. The director and actor work together well and manage to make a rockin' comedy that'll bring out the kid in every rock 'n' roll fan." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 18, 2012
6.5/10 41% Lovely Molly (2012) " Eduardo Sanchez has proven his worth and his inability to direct a proper horror film with Lovely Molly. His lack-of-reveal style doesn't add up in this scare-less waste of time." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
8/10 64% The Five-Year Engagement (2012) " Emily Blunt and Segel do have excellent chemistry and comedic timing, but the film hits a slump at the halfway point and never manages to fully recover." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
6.5/10 86% Sixteen Candles (1984) " John Hughes' Sixteen Candles still remains a classic coming-of-age tale that resonates now just as well as it did in the 80s. " — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
4.5/10 13% Piranha 3DD (2012) " John Gulager's Piranha 3DD is a far cry from Alexandre Aja's gory, fun and campy horror flick from 2010. The sequel tries being even more over-the-top, but ends up sinking in its own cheap budget and rushed production." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
8/10 48% Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) " Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman is a bloated mess that is plagued with pointless scenes and a non-ending that will leave most furious. The Blu-Ray receives high marks only because Universal did a great job with the transfer." — We Got This Covered
Posted Sep 17, 2012
6.5/10 35% The Victim (2012) " Michael Biehn's directorial debut disappointingly crumbles under its own cheap production. The Victim is nothing more than a nude-heavy bore-fest that claims to be a thriller." — We Got This Covered
