4/10 50% The Great Gatsby (2013) " Well, you did it Baz Luhrmann. Even with an enormous budget and a camera that can fly around and do just about anything, you still made watching 'The Great Gatsby' just as boring as sitting through 8th period English." — ScreenCrush

80% Something in the Air (2013) " Ought to interest anyone who has a soft spot for 60s/70s radicals, the French, rock n' roll, sex, long hair, dancing, painting, Pompeii and saying ridiculous things like "shouldn't revolutionary cinema employ revolutionary syntax?"" — Badass Digest
Posted May 3, 2013
7/10 87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " The Enterprise and all the people on it are gorgeous. It's just that by front-loading so much on the visceral thrills and our affection for these characters, there's just no room for the rather tangled storyline." — ScreenCrush

Posted Apr 19, 2013
7.8/10 88% In the House (2013) " With its wheels-within-wheels structure and ubiquitous jibber-jabber between neophyte and guide "In the House" is something of a lit major's "Inception."" — Film.com

Posted Mar 28, 2013
5/10 28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " It is, surprisingly, the lesser of the two 'G.I. Joe' films, with Stephen Sommers' 2009 'The Rise of Cobra' featuring much more team spirit, pep and fun." — ScreenCrush
