36% Dead Man Down (2013) " In the end, a viewer can do little more than appreciate Dead Man's shimmering look and wish all involved better luck in their next endeavor." — The Wrap
Posted Mar 7, 2013
65% Mama (2013) " The fact that Guillermo del Toro is an executive producer of Mama is a tip-off that this won't be just another horror film with misbehaving and soon-to-be-dismembered teenagers or a drooling, slime-soaked monster." — The Wrap
Posted Jan 17, 2013
85% Sleepwalk With Me (2012) " When it comes to mining a medical malady for laughs across multiple platforms, standup comic Mike Birbiglia is a master." — The Wrap
Posted Aug 23, 2012
76% The Do-Deca-Pentathlon (2012) " The performances, especially by Zissis and Lafleur, are effectively low-key, making their characters' occasional emotional outburst all the more compelling." — The Wrap
Posted Jul 9, 2012
58% Hysteria (2012) " Hysteria is a fun fling of a movie about medical science at its shakiest. Literally." — The Wrap
Posted May 18, 2012
50% Mirror Mirror (2012) " Part of Mirror's problem is that the screenplay, credited to two writers and with a third getting a story credit, is all over the place." — The Wrap
Posted Mar 30, 2012
37% Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012) " Had Billion Dollar Movie been just eight minutes on the Funny or Die website, where Heidecker and Wareheim have often appeared, it might have worked." — The Wrap
Posted Mar 8, 2012
56% In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011) " Overall, Jolie has nothing to be embarrassed about and much of which to be proud with this movie. Even in moments where the film doesn't quite work, she shows ample evidence of ambition and a discerning director's eye." — The Wrap
Posted Mar 2, 2012
46% Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2012) " In the end, the movie is about healing and coming to understand that some things can't be explained." — The Wrap
Posted Mar 2, 2012
35% Immortals (2011) The Wrap
Posted Mar 2, 2012
39% Red Tails (2012) " Sadly, Red Tails tells its inspiring story in the most old-fashioned, Saturday-afternoon-at-the-movies kind of way. The movie occasionally flies but it never soars." — The Wrap
Posted Mar 2, 2012
5% Beneath The Darkness (2012) The Wrap
Posted Mar 2, 2012
73% The Whistleblower (2011) The Wrap
Posted Mar 1, 2012
25% Act of Valor (2012) " For action fans, the film delivers action. Beyond that, not so much." — The Wrap
Posted Feb 24, 2012
26% This Means War (2012) " In the dictionary, "frothy" is defined as being "light and entertaining but of little substance." This Means War is a totally frothy film. And that's a good thing, at least here. (Sometimes substance is overrated.)" — The Wrap
Posted Feb 17, 2012
30% The Vow (2012) " The strong stench from The Vow is likely to overwhelm the smell of popcorn in movie theaters this weekend." — The Wrap
Posted Feb 10, 2012
74% Big Miracle (2012) " If you're looking for a passable film to take the kids to this weekend, Miracle offers a smart enough take on its feel-good plot to keep adult viewers tuned in." — The Wrap
Posted Feb 3, 2012
2% One for the Money (2012) " Heigl, sporting tousled brunette locks, gives a busy, unconvincing performance." — The Wrap
Posted Jan 27, 2012
43% Dinner for Schmucks (2010) The Wrap
Posted Jan 24, 2012
20% Loosies (2012) The Wrap
Posted Jan 20, 2012
52% The Iron Lady (2012) " No matter your politics, [Streep] makes you see Thatcher as a real person rather than a caricature." — The Wrap
Posted Dec 30, 2011
—— Warren Miller's Higher Ground (2006) The Wrap
Posted Dec 21, 2011
13% W.E. (2012) " No matter her audacity, the Material Girl is only as good as her material, and Madonna has only half a movie here." — The Wrap
Posted Dec 9, 2011
80% Shame (2011) " This is an undernourished drama likely to leave most viewers muttering a puzzled "huh?" as they exit the theater." — The Wrap
Posted Dec 2, 2011
—— The Immortals (1995) The Wrap
Posted Nov 11, 2011
45% Another Happy Day (2011) " Altmanesque in its sprawl and sympathetic attitude toward even its most flawed characters, Happy Day marks a mostly promising debut for director-writer Sam Levinson." — The Wrap
Posted Nov 4, 2011
50% The Rum Diary (2011) " Depp, while always fun to watch, phoned this one in." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 28, 2011
88% Margin Call (2011) " There are a lot of sharp performances here, a chief pleasure of the film." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 20, 2011
10% Trespass (2011) " [A] putrefying piece of genre junk." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 14, 2011
53% The Mechanic (2011) " Statham, he of the chiseled physique and sexily receding hairline, holds his own here, doing what he has to in scenes and no more -- which is perfect for a movie like this." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
21% Snow Flower And The Secret Fan (2011) " An ever-so-tasteful, watered-down and unnecessarily-improved-upon adaptation of Lisa See's bestselling 2005 novel of the same name." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
36% Burlesque (2010) The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
96% The Social Network (2010) " At last, a movie you can actually discuss afterward. And not just on Facebook or Twitter. No, you'll want to chew it over in person, with friends, for hours." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
61% The Beaver (2011) " It's a bummer of a movie -- dark and at cross-purposes with both itself and any image do-over [Gibson] might be seeking." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
71% Friends With Benefits (2011) " Anyone who has ever seen a romantic comedy before knows where this one is going." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
26% Green Lantern (2011) " How many more of these superheroes can we take?" — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
78% Fast Five (2011) " Fast Five is grindingly mechanical -- and not just because of all the emphasis on car repairs and retooling." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
88% X-Men: First Class (2011) " As X-Men films go, this one gets the job done and is certainly better than Last Stand or Wolverine. But there are still just too darn many X-Men." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
47% Hereafter (2010) The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
32% How Do You Know (2010) The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
28% New In Town (2009) The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
73% The Adjustment Bureau (2011) " Accomplished filmmaking that features two highly attractive, talented leads, a healthy dose of sentiment, an intelligent script, and which takes you away for two hours from the quotidian worries and banalities of your regular life." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
30% Sanctum (2011) " Its downfall is its cliché-riddled and fusty script." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
93% 50/50 (2011) " Add 50/50 to your want to see list. And then make an appointment for your annual physical with your doctor." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
49% Twilight (2008) The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
38% Cars 2 (2011) " Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
55% The Conspirator (2011) The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
10% Season of the Witch (2011) " Another forgettable trifle from Cage." — The Wrap
Posted Oct 7, 2011
35% Larry Crowne (2011) " An exceedingly minor entry on already impressive resumés." — The Wrap
