8/10 77% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Not only is "Iron Man 3" the best of the trilogy, it's the best Marvel film yet. Yes, even better than last summer's uber-blockbuster "The Avengers."" — FoxNews.com
Posted May 1, 2013
4/10 46% Pain & Gain (2013) " For his first post-"Transformers" production, Bay goes a little too far at making stupidity and violence appear alluring and sexy." — FoxNews.com
Posted Apr 26, 2013
7/10 56% Oblivion (2013) " From the get-go it's easy to assume this film will become a sci-fi classic. But as "Oblivion" crosses the threshold from the unknown to the all-too-obvious, the Tom Cruise alien adventure falls into familiar territory." — FoxNews.com
Posted Apr 18, 2013
7/10 77% 42 (2013) " A fine drama which throws no curves, allowing for an easy hit. You'll be hard-pressed to not feel inspired by film's end." — FoxNews.com
Posted Apr 11, 2013
8/10 81% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " With a dash of gritty crime drama, truly compelling characters and top-notch acting from Cooper and Gosling, Derek Cianfrance's "The Place Beyond the Pines" is a must-see." — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 29, 2013
5/10 28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " The sequel erases the absurd campiness of Stephen Sommers' original and attempts a reboot at becoming the next bad-ass action franchise, but in the end is nothing more than your average "Joe."" — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 28, 2013
7/10 43% Admission (2013) " Tina Fey and Paul Rudd are a dream team in this light-hearted drama." — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 21, 2013
6/10 38% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' isn't breaking comedic ground, nor is it 'incredible,' but there is something magical about seeing Carell, Carrey, Buscemi and Arkin together." — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 14, 2013
7/10 31% Emperor (2013) " Though "Emperor" is a mystery of which we already know the ending, director Peter Webber ("Girl with a Pearl Earring") keeps the story moving and interesting." — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 8, 2013
5/10 60% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " "Oz" suffers from a gluttonous use of CGI and an incredibly weak story, but the biggest problem is James Franco as the titular character." — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 7, 2013
7/10 52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " Bryan Singer's "Jack the Giant Slayer" is a gentle giant, a short and sweet climb that's fun all the way up the bean stalk." — FoxNews.com
Posted Mar 1, 2013
7/10 67% Stoker (2013) " An American gothic soap opera and dark coming-of-age film that benefits greatly from its chilling atmosphere and stellar performances by Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode." — FoxNews.com
Posted Feb 28, 2013
5/10 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " Forget what you know about the earlier "Die Hard" films. This 'Good Day' is not the "Die Hard," nor the John McClane that we've come to know." — FoxNews.com
Posted Feb 14, 2013
9/10 85% Side Effects (2013) " If we are to believe "Side Effects" is Steven Soderbergh's final theatrical film before his retirement from movies, then he couldn't have gone out on a more electrifying film. " — FoxNews.com
Posted Feb 8, 2013
6/10 20% Identity Thief (2013) " While "Identity Thief" isn't one of the best road-trip movies to come our way, Melissa McCarthy makes the journey worth it." — FoxNews.com
Posted Feb 7, 2013
7/10 80% Warm Bodies (2013) " "Warm Bodies" doesn't break any new ground or change the face of zombie cinema. It's just a fun, hokey love story... with a bite. A perfect date film, you know, for those who love to love zombies." — FoxNews.com
Posted Feb 1, 2013
4/10 59% The Last Stand (2013) " Schwarzenegger is back, and his timing couldn't be any worse. At a time when violence in movies is being scrutinized, Arnold arrives with a no-holds-barred shoot-em-up in "The Last Stand."" — FoxNews.com
Posted Jan 18, 2013
5/10 32% Gangster Squad (2013) " Somewhere in this hyper-stylized actioner are remnants of some previously-conceived film, a better movie that feels as if it has been methodically stripped down over time, losing the pulpiness of the genre to the video game culture." — FoxNews.com
Posted Jan 11, 2013
92% The Cabin in the Woods (2012) " The Cabin in the Woods is a quick-witted, mind-bending fright fest. A truly rare and original horror film." — FoxNews.com
Posted Jan 8, 2013
8/10 93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " While the film may not be the best of the year, its true winner is Jessica Chastain's knock-out, Oscar-worthy performance." — FoxNews.com
Posted Dec 21, 2012
9/10 88% Django Unchained (2012) " Tarantino blends the Spaghetti western genre with 70s Blaxploitation, creating an insane concoction of vengeance and thoughtfulness, tossing between the disgustingly funny and the most primal notion of violence." — FoxNews.com
Posted Dec 19, 2012
6/10 66% The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) " It would be wrong to ignore the technical achievement that Jackson has pulled off yet again. But when said and done, "The Hobbit" feels more like a cinematic encyclopedia of Tolkein's mythical world rather than a trip to the movies." — FoxNews.com
Posted Dec 14, 2012
4/10 38% Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) " There's little to take away from "Hyde Park" apart from Bill Murray's electrifying performance as Roosevelt" — FoxNews.com
Posted Dec 7, 2012
7/10 63% Hitchcock (2012) " Watching Hopkins and Mirren transform into these characters is a must-see. While the movie is far from perfect, these two actors are perfect." — FoxNews.com
Posted Nov 23, 2012
8/10 88% Life of Pi (2012) " "Life of Pi" is a graceful picture and does what movies do best: it tells a great story and shows a piece of our world with clear, wide-open eyes." — FoxNews.com
Posted Nov 21, 2012
9/10 89% Lincoln (2012) " Though "Lincoln" feels more like a play than a film, and will appeal mostly to history and political buffs, it is one of Steven Spielberg's best and most important movies." — FoxNews.com
Posted Nov 9, 2012
8/10 92% Skyfall (2012) " "Skyfall" is the best of the Daniel Craig Bond films and surpasses just about every Bond film made in the past 43 years. Not only is this a great Bond movie, it's a great film." — FoxNews.com
Posted Nov 7, 2012
7/10 79% Flight (2012) " Robert Zemeckis' return to live-action filmmaking after nearly a decade of animated films, is mostly a slick and smooth ride, marred by only a few unnecessary jolts of turbulence." — FoxNews.com
Posted Nov 2, 2012
8/10 68% Cloud Atlas (2012) " "Cloud Atlas" should not work. But it does. Lana Wachowski, Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer have wrangled David Mitchell's beast of a story and delivered a haunting, full-bodied tour de force, and a completely unprecedented movie experience" — FoxNews.com
Posted Oct 25, 2012
8/10 96% Argo (2012) " A gutsy blend of suspense and off-the-wall humor, "Argo" will immediately grab you from the rush of its prologue and not let go until the end credits roll." — FoxNews.com
Posted Oct 12, 2012
7/10 87% Frankenweenie (2012) " Perhaps returning to his roots did the visionary director a great service since this "Frankenweenie" is the best Burton film in well over a decade." — FoxNews.com
Posted Oct 4, 2012
8/10 93% Looper (2012) " "Looper" is a welcome return to smart science fiction. It's more than just a popcorn film. It's a drama that uses an age-old genre device to play a fantastic moral game of cat and mouse. A definite must-see." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 27, 2012
6/10 51% Trouble with the Curve (2012) " Clint Eastwood plus America's pastime should have been a grand slam, but the tender yet predictable drama "Trouble with the Curve" is more of a stand up double." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 20, 2012
6/10 78% Dredd (2012) " A dark, gory and incredibly violent crime fighting film that is the antithesis to the flood of fluffy comic book movies of late." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 19, 2012
8/10 87% Arbitrage (2012) " An elegantly crafted potboiler that fires on all cylinders, giving Gere his juiciest role yet." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 14, 2012
8/10 86% The Master (2012) " Chilling, hypnotic and strikingly beautiful. Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffmann are electrifying, like two expert magicians at the top of their game." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 13, 2012
6/10 53% Safe House (2012) " Denzel and Reynolds keep the bulk of the film fresh, gritty and intense." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
2/10 59% Wanderlust (2012) " While everyone has their tastes and limits there must be a line when a film is so shameless in its lack of dignity and intellect and assumes the audience are just a bunch of rubes." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
2/10 26% Wrath of the Titans (2012) " "Wrath of the Titans" is like a shiny Mylar balloon that pops to reveal nothing inside but empty, stale air." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
6/10 22% Darling Companion (2012) " Featuring beautiful cinematography that captures the natural beauty of the Rockies and a superlative cast, Lawrence and Meg Kasdan's "Darling Companion" is a darling of a film." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
4/10 57% Safe (2012) " Jason Statham's latest actionpalooza "Safe" is unsuitably hilarious, although that's probably not the film's intended reaction." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
5/10 23% The Raven (2012) " Despite Cuasck's occasional missteps as the writer, "The Raven" is an entertaining thriller." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
6/10 64% The Five-Year Engagement (2012) " The Jason Segel-Emily Blunt romcom has a cold, standoffish first act but ultimately warms up, becoming a genuinely sweet romantic comedy." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
7/10 93% Marvel's The Avengers (2012) " Marvel's "The Avengers" is the super-hero movie to end all super-hero movies. Why? Joss Whedon." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
5/10 38% Dark Shadows (2012) " While "Dark Shadows" has many wonderful elements, it is set up to become a new franchise for Warner Bros, but it just doesn't quite have that eternal bite." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
4/10 34% Battleship (2012) " It appears a Hollywood boardroom has scraped the bottom of the barrel of originality to come up with a very long, very loud movie with almost nothing new to say." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
5/10 70% Men in Black III (2012) " Like so many sequels, "MIB3" lacks the charisma of the original "Men In Black."" — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
10/10 94% Moonrise Kingdom (2012) " Wes Anderson's refreshingly original "Moonrise Kingdom" is an unconventional children's adventure for adults, filled with with striking colors, textures and humor, and teeming with childhood innocence." — FoxNews.com
Posted Sep 10, 2012
6/10 48% Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) " While it's a heavily flawed film, there's more good than bad to be found in this adaptation of the Grimm tale." — FoxNews.com
