2/4 8% Runner Runner (2013) " You've seen all of this before. There's nothing new in the story beats or in the movie's construction." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Oct 3, 2013
4/4 98% Gravity (2013) " An unforgettable experience." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Oct 3, 2013
3.5/4 95% Enough Said (2013) " Throughout her career, Holofcener has demonstrated a peerless skill at capturing the rhythms of conversation, as well as an insightful grasp of how people's inner lives drive their interactions." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Sep 27, 2013
2/4 16% Baggage Claim (2013) " The performers all wring what they can from this lackluster script, but the final result is a dumb if pleasant film." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Sep 27, 2013
3/4 64% One Direction: This Is Us (2013) " This Is Us is an entertaining and effective feature-length commercial." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 29, 2013
3/4 73% Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) " Unlike some cynical attempts to court favor with the Hollywood elite, it's solidly crafted, strongly acted, and -- most excitingly -- it shows that Daniels has evolved as a director. It's the finest work of his career so far." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 16, 2013
3/4 38% Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013) " That rare sequel that is far superior to the underwhelming start of the franchise, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters has a snappy pace, appealing performers, and a refreshing lack of exposition that help make it a solid family-friendly fantasy adventure." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 7, 2013
3.5/4 47% We're The Millers (2013) " This is the most consistently funny Hollywood comedy of the 2013 summer season." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 7, 2013
4/4 99% Toy Story 3 (2010) " The whole project is so masterfully conceived and executed that you either go along for the ride or sit in stunned appreciation for how singularly Pixar has maintained control over the creative quality of its output." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 4, 2013
4/4 89% Inglourious Basterds (2009) " Although the actors are flawless, it is Tarantino whose name will go hand in hand with the film -- he is by the modern definition of the word an "auteur."" — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 4, 2013
4/4 98% Up (2009) " There might not be a more dependable name in all of Hollywood than Pixar, and their tenth animated feature, Up, continues the studio's remarkable hot streak." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Aug 3, 2013
2/4 91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine finds the almost-80-year-old filmmaker in fine form as a director of actors, but he undermines that skill with a terribly structured and under-thought screenplay." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 25, 2013
3/4 42% Red 2 (2013) " There's a charming chemistry between the various cast members." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 19, 2013
2/4 40% Only God Forgives (2013) " The title may be prophetic, because it seems unlikely most filmgoers will forgive Refn for such a soulless, heartless, and mindless act of attempted envelope pushing." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3.5/4 94% Fruitvale Station (2013) " Writer/director Ryan Coogler's debut feature, Fruitvale Station, is one of those first films that announces that a major talent has hit the scene." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/4 65% Turbo (2013) " Turbo accomplishes what it sets out to do -- it will entertain kids, and it won't make parents feel ripped off." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 18, 2013
3/4 85% The Way Way Back (2013) " It's an endearingly modest small-scale film that lets its actors shine, portends a promising career for Nat Faxon and Jim Rash as directors, and will hopefully get Sam Rockwell the awards buzz he's richly deserved for years." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 12, 2013
2/4 8% Grown Ups 2 (2013) " Sure there is a chuckle or two along the way, but this is a deeply lazy movie, so much so that it's set over the course of a single day for no reason other than the whole production saves money on costuming that way." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 11, 2013
2/4 31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " It takes forever to get everybody's backstory, and a pointless framing device set 60 years after the main action weighs down an already bloated screenplay." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jul 2, 2013
3/4 49% Redemption (2013) " Jason Statham is arguably the leading action star of his generation, but with Redemption, the feature directorial debut from talented screenwriter Steven Knight, he attempts to expand his range for the first time since The Bank Job." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jun 28, 2013
3/4 65% The Heat (2013) " An action comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy as odd-couple cops that rivals Goodfellas for its use of F-bombs and Lethal Weapon for its appealing chemistry." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jun 27, 2013
3/4 78% Monsters University (2013) " Partly because it's a prequel, Monsters University is one of the few films from the gigantically successful studio that fails to deliver an emotional payoff." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jun 21, 2013
3.5/4 59% The Bling Ring (2013) " The Bling Ring is something new from the Lost in Translation director. It continues her ongoing portraits of teen alienation, but it's also full of big laughs." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jun 14, 2013
1/4 38% The Purge (2013) " Sadly, thanks to a ridiculous premise, ugly cinematography, one-dimensional characters, and indecipherable editing, it fails on both counts." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jun 6, 2013
2.5/4 50% Now You See Me (2013) " Now You See Me never comes up with an ending that justifies the incessant misdirections that make up the bulk of the film." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted May 30, 2013
2.5/4 69% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " [Lin] relies on a hyper-edited style that gives you the feeling of frantic action, but he does have the good sense to slow things down ever so slightly when something really insane is going to happen so that you can gawk, laugh, and marvel." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted May 23, 2013
3/4 93% Frances Ha (2013) " Frances Ha is the work of an artist in love, and in Baumbach's case, it's not clear that love is his most constructive muse." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted May 17, 2013
4/4 88% What Maisie Knew (2013) " Most movies about divorce and fractured families play up the tumultuous melodrama, but What Maisie Knew goes for something much quieter and more profound. It's a subtly ambitious film that's smartly written, beautifully acted, and perfectly directed." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted May 3, 2013
2.5/4 67% The Iceman (2013) " The script is so straight-ahead, and Shannon's performance is so forceful, that The Iceman doesn't offer any real insight into this monster, but if you just want to glimpse a character capable of genuine evil, it's effectively chilling." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted May 3, 2013
4/4 98% Mud (2013) " Set in Arkansas, Mud captures the rhythm of the South in a way few films do." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Apr 26, 2013
4/4 44% To The Wonder (2013) " This approach to the material is so quintessentially late-period Malick that naysayers will accuse the man of parodying himself. In truth, he's come up with his purest vision -- and his most streamlined work since Badlands." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Apr 12, 2013
3/4 79% 42 (2013) " Helgeland's film is square, but it's a really solidly built square -- the kind of square that can be used as a foundation for something sturdy and true." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Apr 11, 2013
3/4 85% Upstream Color (2013) " Anybody haunted by Primer's creepy overtones will instantly recognize it as the work of the same director." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Apr 5, 2013
1/4 16% Temptation (2013) " Tyler Perry is a moralist who doesn't have sense enough to engage us by making sin look like fun." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Apr 1, 2013
3.5/4 82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " A film this well-constructed, superbly acted, and thoughtfully humanistic is rare; it's the kind of movie many people say can't get made any more." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Mar 29, 2013
2/4 38% Admission (2013) " Admission squanders its most interesting aspects, flattening them out into a tidy, dull narrative instead of running with their more outlandish aspects, or focusing deeper on the pain at the heart of the characters." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Mar 22, 2013
2/4 69% The Croods (2013) " The real problem is the script. Not so much the dialogue, which is functional and occasionally humorous, but more the story itself." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Mar 22, 2013
2/4 36% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " The characters get little laughs in most of the scenes, but in the larger sense it never seems like there's anything at stake." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Mar 14, 2013
2.5/4 28% 21 And Over (2013) " Lucas and Moore have written this story enough times that they know how to make it flow even when there are long gaps between laughs, and as directors they show a keen eye for casting." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Mar 1, 2013
4/4 94% The King's Speech (2010) " Inspiring, funny, touching, and delivered with craftsmanship and artistry." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Feb 16, 2013
4/4 98% The Artist (2011) " Writer/director Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist manages the trick of being both fearlessly loyal to an era of cinema that's long since passed and one of the few original motion pictures of its own time." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Feb 15, 2013
1.5/4 13% Safe Haven (2013) " If Nicholas Sparks' name is enough to get you to pay to see a movie, Safe Haven probably won't disappoint, but if you're allergic to his patented brand of tear-jerking stay far, far away." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Feb 14, 2013
3/4 84% Side Effects (2013) " The picture tickles you throughout with a sense of relentless unease; you know something is wrong, but can't figure out what it is until Soderbergh and Burns are ready to play out the characters' various endgames." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Feb 8, 2013
3.5/4 38% Stand Up Guys (2013) " For a film about coming to terms with death, Stand Up Guys is funnier than you might expect, and never once sinks into sentimental treacle." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Feb 4, 2013
2.5/4 4% Movie 43 (2013) " If you're interested in seeing Oscar winners, Tony winners, and a bunch of genuinely talented people act out the raunchiest, most inappropriate material you're likely to see this year, Movie 43 fits the bill." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Feb 4, 2013
3/4 100% Resolution (2013) " One of the first things about Resolution that catches you off guard is the humor." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jan 25, 2013
2.5/4 29% Broken City (2013) " If you need a pithy, Twitter-ready review for Broken City it would be "Forget it Jake, it's not Chinatown."" — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jan 18, 2013
3.5/4 80% Haywire (2012) " A lean and vastly entertaining picture." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
Posted Jan 8, 2013
3/4 86% Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) " In his willingness to ignore convention, Zeitlin does reveal a confidence that few first-time directors display. He's made a film that's the antithesis of Hollywood's summer mind-set." — TV Guide's Movie Guide
