5/10	29%	Girl In Progress (2012)	" While Girl In Progress isn't a bad film, it just isn't good enough to really say anything all that meaningful about the task of becoming an adult in a challenging world." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted May 11, 2012

6/10	41%	Silent House (2012)	" ...thanks to an effective gimmick and a wonderful leading lady, it's not the worst way to spend 88 minutes in a darkened theatre, or better still in the comfort of your own home." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Mar 7, 2012
5/10	37%	Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)	" TIM & ERIC'S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE has its moments, but ultimately it feels like a skit stretched out much too long." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Mar 2, 2012
7/10	54%	Dr Seuss' The Lorax (2012)	" With a small handful of musical numbers and a likable hero in the form of Ted, you can do much worse than this when it comes to a family friendly feature." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 29, 2012

7/10	70%	Thin Ice (2012)	" While Kinnear is a good choice for this particular film's leading man, it is Crudup that really steals the show." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 15, 2012

—	88%	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	— JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 14, 2012
5/10	30%	The Vow (2012)	" This is made for the ladies looking for romance on a Hallmark holiday. It just happens to have a lot more talent than you'd expect from this sort of thing. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 12, 2012
6/10	41%	Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012)	" The story is a bit outlandish and the dialogue is far from smart, but the young ones will be entertained and it won't be too painful for the adults thanks to Johnson's likability factor." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 7, 2012
5/10	52%	Perfect Sense (2012)	" There is a low key element to this narrative much like what CHILDREN OF MEN offered, however this is not nearly as successful as Alfonso Cuarón's brilliant feature." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 6, 2012

9/10	79%	The Grey (2012)	" The Grey is a bold and intense thriller that features another commanding performance from Liam Neeson. Hopefully Academy voters will remember this come next year. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jan 26, 2012
7/10	26%	Underworld Awakening (2012)	" It may not be great filmmaking, and it won't attract new fans, but those already invested will be able to satiate their bloodlust with the return of Beckinsale's sleek and sexy Selene. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jan 20, 2012
8/10	26%	The Divide (2012)	" Xavier Gens has created one hell of an intriguing horror thriller." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Jan 14, 2012

9/10	93%	Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011)	" This action-packed roller coaster of a movie seamlessly pulls you in and doesn't let go. On the rare occasion it slows down, it quickly sends your heart pounding and pulse racing again." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Dec 14, 2011
5/10	80%	Young Adult (2011)	" Mavis, as wonderfully played by Charlize Theron, is conniving, miserable, self-loathing and pathetic." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Dec 9, 2011
8/10	78%	A Dangerous Method (2011)	" With phenomenal performances from Knightley, Fassbender and Mortensen, and a rich and complex script, there is a depth and power to this terrific feature." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Nov 25, 2011
8/10	84%	My Week with Marilyn (2011)	" True or not, My Week With Marilyn is an unabashedly romantic charmer with a stunning portrayal of the late, great Marilyn Monroe." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Nov 25, 2011

8/10	71%	Footloose (2011)	" It may not be great art, but it sure as hell knows how to dance. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Oct 12, 2011

5/10	25%	Apollo 18 (2011)	" Even with effective atmosphere, a couple of jump scares and a spooky premise, Apollo 18 simply falls apart in the end. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Sep 2, 2011
9/10	93%	Drive (2011)	" There is a dreamy, haunting quality that weaves its way through Drive that is unlike other heist movies. It is a sense of beauty that carefully tucks in the violence and horror that is lurking just around the corner." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Sep 1, 2011
8/10	61%	Final Destination 5 (2011)	" FD5 is a success on every level, from the insurmountable tension, surprisingly solid performances and inventive gore shots, five times looks to be a charm for this successful series. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Aug 11, 2011

4/10	8%	Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2011)	" If you are looking for a great horror comedy as a quick fix, check out THE FRIGHTENERS, BEETLEJUICE or even the cinematic take on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, you'll be a happier and healthier person for it." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted May 3, 2011

5/10	20%	Beastly (2011)	" At one point when Hudgens' character points out that she prefers substance over style, one can only wonder what she would have thought of BEASTLY. " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Mar 4, 2011
6/10	56%	Unknown (2011)	" Implausible, over-the-top, ridiculous and for the most part, fun is a much better description for this "smart suspense" flick." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium Posted Feb 17, 2011
	53%	The Mechanic (2011)	" The look and feel of this version has a gritty Seventies edge that makes it feel less like a remake and more like a tribute to the original." — iamROGUE Posted Jan 26, 2011
