62% Linsanity (2013) " Unchallenging but exciting and enjoyable, an underdog story with a relatively happy ending. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Oct 7, 2013
47% Parkland (2013) " Powerful and saddening..it will hit you like a fast-moving bus." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Oct 3, 2013
50% All Is Bright (2013) " A small but thoroughly engaging dramatic comedy...Paul Giamatti is one of our great screen actors, a poet of frustration and regret with a wide range. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Oct 2, 2013
97% Gravity (2013) " A harrowing, white-knuckle tale from start to finish...Life or death: How much more of a story do you need?" — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Oct 1, 2013
76% Concussion (2013) " A breakout role for Weigert...deserves to be seen by a wide audience.. because it's just an exceptional and pleasurable film" — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Oct 1, 2013
91% Inequality For All (2013) " Watch this film - and then show it to someone who refuses to educate themselves about what the financial situation is all about. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 26, 2013
94% Muscle Shoals (2013) " One of the year's most entertaining and enriching nonfiction films...Moving and joyful." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 25, 2013
82% Don Jon (2013) " Not just good for a film directed by an actor or a first-timer - it's a solid, entertaining film. Period." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 24, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " Exactly as middlebrow and mainstream as most of Howard's oeuvre..Chatter about it as an Oscar contender is simply laughable. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 23, 2013
81% Prisoners (2013) " The script is misshapen and out of balance..Bello disappears for vast chunks of time..The rest of the cast all seem like bystanders to the Hugh and Jake show." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 19, 2013
71% C.O.G. (2013) " A deceptive film: a drama disguised as a comedy, with laughs that are undercut but sad truths. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 18, 2013
95% Enough Said (2013) " Gandolfini reveals a smile that is easy and warm; it makes his premature death this summer that much sadder, when you consider the range he had but rarely got to show." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 16, 2013
34% Adore (2013) " Forces the viewer to consider those complex emotions from a distance, rather than dramatizing them in anything more than the most oblique or glancing way." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 6, 2013
34% Touchy Feely (2013) " Shelton's secret: she finds terrific actors to invest her characters with a depth, humanity (and wit) that makes their lives interesting, even when nothing big is going on." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 5, 2013
34% Salinger (2013) " A workmanlike doc-bio of a toweringly mysterious figure who rejected exactly the kind of cult of personality that this film continues to exploit. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 4, 2013
23% A Teacher (2013) " A strong dramatic vision and the intelligence to carry it out with minimal resources..the kind of movie we need more of: thought-provoking, unshowy but deeply affecting. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Sep 3, 2013
3% Getaway (2013) " Like watching a friend play a race-car videogame. Over and over and over again for 90 minutes. Without ever offering you a turn. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 30, 2013
59% Afternoon Delight (2013) " Given the right opportunity, Kathryn Hahn could give Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig a run for their money as the funniest woman working in movies. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 29, 2013

Posted Aug 29, 2013
34% Passion (2013) " A misfire from start to finish. Track down Love Crimes to see what all the fuss is about." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 27, 2013
46% Closed Circuit (2013) " The most chilling film of the year, more frightening than any horror film because it seems so real..generates an electrifying level of tension and just plain fear. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 26, 2013
81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " Nobody talks without needing to in this film, And what they have to say is nearly always either interesting, revealing or both." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 15, 2013
26% Jobs (2013) " You either already know all this about Jobs - because you were a true believer in him as The One True Tech God - or you don't because you don't care. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 15, 2013
30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " The word that came to mind as I walked out of Kick-Ass 2 was "vomitous." The best thing that can be said about it is that it's not in 3D. That's not nearly enough" — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 14, 2013
73% Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) " Schmaltzy, even corny - but it also gives a face to issues that continue to haunt us..pulls you into its drama and gives you a new angle on a history you thought you knew. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 13, 2013
89% You Will Be My Son (2013) " The tyranny of fatherhood doesn't have a more intimidating embodiment than Niels Arestrup." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 12, 2013
54% Lovelace (2013) " Seyfried's eager-to-please Linda Lovelace seems like a hostage in her own life, reminiscent of another famously pilloried female of the period, Patty Hearst. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 9, 2013
68% Elysium (2013) " Neill Blomkamp is the real thing: a visionary filmmaker with a headful of dystopia and the story-telling ability to give it some punch." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 8, 2013
47% We're The Millers (2013) " I laughed a lot during this brisk, consistently funny movie...counts on comedy shocks for laughs - but it makes them outlandishly weird and surprising. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 7, 2013
91% In a World... (2013) " Announces the arrival of a new triple-threat talent: Lake Bell..a delight at Sundance, it arrives in the dog days of summer like a cool breeze." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Aug 6, 2013
64% 2 Guns (2013) " A film with wit, tension and sheer headlong pace to grab and hold your attention for a brisk 106 minutes..fast and funny, definitely the smartest action movie of the summer." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 30, 2013
91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " Doesn't find new ground but finds new ways to make this story feel personal and involving. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 29, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " An extremely entertaining comic-book movie - though a comic-book movie nonetheless...not great but, hey, it's good enough." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 26, 2013
52% The To Do List (2013) " Plaza is a minimalist who knows how to do a lot with a little..a girl-power comedy about one young woman seizing the reins of her own sexuality." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 25, 2013
91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Not just one of the best films of the summer; it's one of the best of the year, a drama with enough laughs to underscore just how tragic its portrait really is. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 24, 2013
42% Red 2 (2013) " The kind of movie where all the best jokes are in the trailer...as thoroughly unnecessary as anything out there, with the possible exception of The Lone Ranger." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 19, 2013
40% Only God Forgives (2013) " Wrong-headed, self-indulgent and pretentious...Gosling gives virtually the same performance as in Drive, which reveals its seams and shortcomings. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 18, 2013
87% The Conjuring (2013) " It calls to mind films that understood that the less you saw, the spooker it got..It's as scary a film as I've seen in a long time." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 17, 2013
98% Blackfish (2013) " Will shake you up and upset you. At a minimum, it might make some people rethink where they're going on their next vacation." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 16, 2013
81% Crystal Fairy (2013) " A witty riff on the ugly American...Further proof that Cera has a lot more range (and daring) than haters give him credit for. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 12, 2013
94% Fruitvale Station (2013) " Captures the fear that seems to drive too much of race relations in this country, that blend of unease and false assumption that kills communication and leads to tragedy. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 11, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " There's not a drop of irony in del Toro's film, nothing cynical..I find it all kind of refreshing, in a time where sarcasm and meta are the ruling attitudes. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 10, 2013
10% Killing Season (2013) " Calling this film a cat-and-mouse game would insult felines and rodents, both of which are much smarter than this movie." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 9, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " The best thing I can say is it's not in 3D. But it's barely one-dimensional...Depp proves that it's possible to overact without ever changing your expression." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jul 1, 2013
50% White House Down (2013) " Even more symptomatic of how badly dumbed-down big-budget action has become...Emmerich is a bombastic hack, not as cynical, perhaps, as Michael Bay, but just as soulless. " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jun 26, 2013
67% World War Z (2013) " The law of diminishing returns kicks in early...The film is not a bust, but its ending will leave you saying "if only..." " — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jun 21, 2013
78% Monsters University (2013) " Pixar has the kind of layered, lovingly crafted humor that the best TV sit-coms have; there's an ease to the cleverness, an unpretentious, highly skilled approach to comedy." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jun 20, 2013
64% Unfinished Song (2013) " A film that makes you feel a lot without resenting it. You wish it were better, but it's good enough not to make you begrudge its shortcomings." — Hollywood & Fine
Posted Jun 19, 2013
90% The Attack (2013) " We are left at the end with imponderables and questions, things that will ricochet around your brain long after this compelling and unsettling movie ends." — Hollywood & Fine
