1.5/4 50% All Is Bright (2013) " Worth enduring only for a rare lead performance by Paul Giamatti, whose expert delineation of rage and frustration lends form to Morrison's otherwise shapeless script." — New York Post
Posted Oct 4, 2013
4/4 97% Gravity (2013) " A visually enthralling popcorn movie with two big stars (Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) that will rivet vast crowds for every moment of its 90-minute running time with not a second wasted." — New York Post
Posted Oct 1, 2013
3/4 82% Don Jon (2013) " One of the most adventurous actors of his generation, Gordon-Levitt has a good sense of just how graphically he can depict Jon's addiction and maintain the sympathy of both men and women." — New York Post
Posted Sep 26, 2013
3.5/5 81% Prisoners (2013) " A film that seems headed toward one conclusion, then veers toward another over 2/₂ of the fastest-moving hours I've seen in a recent movie." — New York Post
Posted Sep 19, 2013
3/5 95% Enough Said (2013) " [Louis-Dreyfus] has wonderful chemistry with Gandolfini, whose Albert is warmly sympathetic, ruefully amusing, and ultimately hurt ..." — New York Post
Posted Sep 18, 2013
99% The Wizard of Oz (1939) " It looks fantastic, sounds great, and the 3-D effects (reportedly labored over for 16 months by a thousand technicians) are both subtle and respectfully applied." — New York Post
Posted Sep 15, 2013
2/5 45% And While We Were Here (2013) " [A] familiarly snoozy romantic drama." — New York Post
Posted Sep 13, 2013
1.5/5 33% Jayne Mansfield's Car (2013) " Overall, the rambling "Jayne Mansfield's Car" is almost as big a wreck as its namesake." — New York Post
Posted Sep 13, 2013
15% Winnie Mandela (2013) " "Winnie Mandela'' really stumbles when it comes to depicting the couple's painful separation, which the film suggests resulted more from politics than Winnie's infidelity." — New York Post
Posted Sep 6, 2013
34% Touchy Feely (2013) " "Touchy Feely'' works better in its funnier moments, but Shelton - who pads things out with way too many scenic shots of Seattle - never pulls all these threads together into a satisfying whole." — New York Post
Posted Sep 6, 2013
67% Labor Day (2013) " [A] small-scale gem." — New York Post
Posted Sep 5, 2013
3/4 91% Our Nixon (2013) " Mundane movies of events like the president's daughter's wedding and his groundbreaking trip to China are juxtaposed with Nixon's rants about his enemies and the "homosexuals" he believed were leading the US into decline." — New York Post
Posted Aug 30, 2013
2/4 34% Passion (2013) " Mostly it's another opportunity for this most self-referential of directors to dip once again into his well-worn bag of tricks." — New York Post
Posted Aug 29, 2013
2/4 46% Closed Circuit (2013) " A credulity-straining thriller featuring a few good paranoid moments - and, perhaps most important, Rebecca Hall running in high heels." — New York Post
Posted Aug 28, 2013
3/4 99% Short Term 12 (2013) " Cretton pulls off a tricky balancing act in "Short Term 12,'' which could easily have become a colossal downer if played to melodramatic excess." — New York Post
Posted Aug 23, 2013
2.5/4 57% The Frozen Ground (2013) " A taut procedural with atmospheric location work that traces Cage's clock-racing efforts to find evidence against Cusack ..." — New York Post
Posted Aug 23, 2013
1.5/4 26% Jobs (2013) " [Kutcher's] performance, like the movie, is all surface." — New York Post
Posted Aug 15, 2013
2.5/4 73% Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) " A star-filled, if heavy-handed, labor of love that certainly has its heart in the right place, and scores dramatically often enough to recommend it." — New York Post
Posted Aug 12, 2013
3/4 75% ZIPPER: Coney Island's Last Wild Ride (2013) " "Zipper'' tells a story of a Coney Island that is still very much a work in progress, and where there seems to be no room for small-time operators like Eddie Miranda." — New York Post
Posted Aug 9, 2013
2/4 54% Lovelace (2013) " The superficial script doesn't go nearly deep enough to begin explaining Lovelace." — New York Post
Posted Aug 8, 2013
2.5/4 27% Planes (2013) " A charmingly modest low-budget spin-off from Pixar's "Cars'' that provides more thrills and laughs for young children and their parents than many of its more elaborate brethren." — New York Post
Posted Aug 8, 2013
2/4 57% When Comedy Went to School (2013) " Superficial and hokey yet still oddly endearing ..." — New York Post
Posted Aug 2, 2013
2/4 28% Drift (2013) " I'm a sucker for films with great surfing footage, let alone wacky '70s hairstyles. But this overlong, cliché-infested Aussie period drama tested my patience." — New York Post
Posted Aug 2, 2013
0/4 22% The Canyons (2013) " I've seen high school hygiene films that are steamier than this snoozer, notwithstanding the underwhelming "mainstream'' debut of popular porn star James Deen, who shouldn't give up his day job." — New York Post
Posted Jul 30, 2013
3/4 91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Somewhat less than the sum of its parts, Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine'' showcases a brilliant, Oscar-worthy performance by Cate Blanchett as sort of a WASP version of Ruth Madoff." — New York Post
Posted Jul 26, 2013
1/4 15% The Time Being (2013) " "The Time Being'' looks sharp, but it's about as dramatically satisfying as watching paint dry." — New York Post
Posted Jul 26, 2013
3.5/4 93% Still Mine (2013) " "Still Mine'' eschews schmaltz, and is tremendously moving." — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2013
2/4 62% Broken (2013) " "Broken'' embraces the sort of unappealing British miserabilism perfected by "Ratcatcher" director Lynne Ramsay." — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/4 87% The Conjuring (2013) " "The Conjuring'' depends more on its excellent cast and atmospheric direction than cheap gimmicks to raise hairs on the back of your neck. Which it does, quite frequently." — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/4 65% Turbo (2013) " A fresh, fast and funny little fable about a freakishly fast garden snail who tries to enter the Indy 500." — New York Post
Posted Jul 16, 2013
3.5/4 95% The Hunt (2013) " [A] quietly devastating drama about a soft-spoken, bespectacled and devoted kindergarten teacher whose life is upended by a false accusation from one of his students." — New York Post
Posted Jul 11, 2013
0.5/4 10% Killing Season (2013) " If you've always wanted to see Robert De Niro forced to thread a steel rod through an open wound and then strung upside down by John Travolta, this is the movie for you." — New York Post
Posted Jul 11, 2013
4/4 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " The extinction of mankind has loomed again and again over Hollywood blockbusters the past couple of years, though never anywhere near as entertainingly as in "Pacific Rim.''" — New York Post
Posted Jul 9, 2013
2.5/4 58% Stuck in Love (2013) " Worthwhile for its fine performances, including the best work that Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly have done in quite a while." — New York Post
Posted Jul 3, 2013
2.5/4 56% The Look of Love (2013) " Ultimately more compelling as a long, colorful look at Swinging London in the 1960s than as autobiographical drama." — New York Post
Posted Jul 3, 2013
0.5/4 31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " [A] bloated, misshapen mess, a stillborn franchise loaded with metaphors for its feeble attempts to amuse, excite and entertain." — New York Post
Posted Jul 2, 2013
1.5/4 49% Redemption (2013) " Nothing in "Redemption" quite adds up, including the paranoid hero's insistence that he's being watched by drones." — New York Post
Posted Jun 28, 2013
1.5/4 47% I'm So Excited! (2013) " A campy, sex-obsessed spoof of airborne-disaster movies that never really gets off the ground." — New York Post
Posted Jun 28, 2013
3/4 65% The Heat (2013) " Bullock can do a double-takes better than any actress working today, and boy, does force-of-nature McCarthy give her plenty to work with." — New York Post
Posted Jun 27, 2013
3/4 50% White House Down (2013) " You couldn't ask for a more fun summer popcorn movie than "White House Down."" — New York Post
Posted Jun 26, 2013
3/4 64% Unfinished Song (2013) " Stamp could not be better as a man set emotionally adrift when he loses the love of his life." — New York Post
Posted Jun 20, 2013
2/4 78% Monsters University (2013) " The under-5 set may find it funny, though I suspect their parents will be checking their watches a lot, as I did." — New York Post
Posted Jun 20, 2013
3/4 90% Storm Surfers 3D (2013) " What makes "Storm Surfers 3-D" mesmerizing is jaw-dropping footage shot inside brute waves that's unlike any I've ever seen before." — New York Post
Posted Jun 14, 2013
3/4 56% Man of Steel (2013) " [Snyder] does a highly respectable, and sometimes inspired job of retooling the basic Superman mythology in "Man of Steel.''" — New York Post
Posted Jun 11, 2013
2/4 22% Rapture-Palooza (2013) " [An] almost endearingly silly amuse bouche of a comedy depicting how the End of Days might play out in Seattle ..." — New York Post
Posted Jun 7, 2013
2/4 38% The Purge (2013) " After a wickedly promising start, this pointed political satire quickly deteriorates into a fairly routine, if sporadically quite effective, home-invasion thriller." — New York Post
Posted Jun 6, 2013
3.5/4 84% Much Ado About Nothing (2013) " Joss Whedon's fresh and cheeky adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing" is a minor miracle - the first filmed Shakespeare comedy in decades that's actually funny." — New York Post
Posted Jun 6, 2013
1/4 11% After Earth (2013) " Basically, this is Smith and his real-life son, Jaden (both affecting ridiculous mid-Atlantic accents) talking the audience to death for something like 90 minutes before the closing credits." — New York Post
Posted May 30, 2013
2/4 44% The English Teacher (2013) " Like so many small films carrying the Tribeca Films label, this seriocomic farce has its moments, but fails to live up to the promise of a starry cast headed by Julianne Moore." — New York Post
