C- 29% The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013) " "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" employs hackneyed and mawkish methods to achieve a false sense of joyfulness." — The Playlist
Posted Oct 5, 2013
A 88% Captain Phillips (2013) " The white-knuckled immediacy Greengrass delivers to every scene is transportive, dropping you like a passenger, gagged and bound, into this extremely volatile situation. The fear, panic and emotional pain every character endures is utterly tangible." — The Playlist
Posted Sep 27, 2013
B+ 83% Don Jon (2013) " An assured directorial debut as we've seen in recent years, Gordon-Levitt's comedy is vibrant and poignant and moves like a shark with nary a dull second. " — The Playlist
Posted Sep 27, 2013
B+ 93% Muscle Shoals (2013) " ..Muscle Shoals and its presentation doesn't reinvent the wheel...the treasure trove of stills and found footage makes for a compelling and effortlessly watchable film that even the casual music fan should find themselves totally engrossed in." — The Playlist
Posted Sep 27, 2013
c+ 78% Kill Your Darlings (2013) " "Kill Your Darlings" doesn't really humanize these characters beyond half-drawn caricatures in an origin tale that wouldn't be out of place in an average super hero film." — The Playlist
Posted Sep 14, 2013
A 100% Enemy () " Thick with weighty themes, disquieting portent and anxious tension, Villeneuve...crafts a gripping slow burn portrait of the male id/ego, our self-destructive tendencies and how they control us." — The Playlist
Posted Sep 9, 2013
B- 34% Touchy Feely (2013) " There's a great movie somewhere inside Touchy Feely desperately trying to swim to the surface, but its obscurity also comes with an inarticulateness that robs it of its potential. " — The Playlist
Posted Sep 6, 2013
D —— Paradise (2013) " ...it's an insipid confection of cloying hopefulness, bubblegum teen spirit and self-reflexive clever quips." — The Playlist
Posted Sep 5, 2013
B+ 80% Prisoners (2013) " Far from the feel-good movie of the year, Prisoners is dark, disturbing, white-knuckle stuff with an unnerving shade of dread blanketed over almost every frame." — The Playlist
Posted Aug 31, 2013
C- 67% Magic Magic (2013) " You can tell the movie is hell bent on exploring a psychological madness, but never earns its way down this road, instead choosing a series of contrived and inorganic conceits to manipulatively push her (and the audience) into a corner. " — The Playlist
Posted Aug 15, 2013
A- 81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " Tuned to the pitch of a moody and dark folk ballad that just can't end well, Saints takes the familiar outlaw narrative and attempts to subvert it with a twist...It's Badlands with a deeper aching heart" — The Playlist
Posted Aug 15, 2013
A- 84% Prince Avalanche (2013) " A wonderfully eccentric examination of unlikely friendships that illuminates the absurd and lovely corners of life, Prince Avalanche is a deeply enjoyable, wondrous delight that you should give yourself over to when it eventually hits theaters." — The Playlist
Posted Aug 7, 2013
D 22% The Canyons (2013) " While not about pornography, The Canyons can't help but possess that same lurid whiff of XXX material, from the crotchy, skeevy sweatiness, right down to its poor acting, tossed-off dialogue and visibly low production values..." — The Playlist
Posted Jul 30, 2013
B 91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " While its deliberate rhythm may prove to be a harder sell among the teen crowd, it's a valuable and honest film that's worth the investment." — The Playlist
Posted Jul 29, 2013
C- 69% The Wolverine (2013) " The Wolverine wants to have it both ways: a dark character story and an action-packed superhero film. But it never reconciles the two notes, and thus becomes more and more atonal as it wobbles towards its symphonically jarring ending " — The Playlist
Posted Jul 26, 2013
B+ 91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Allen's latest picture...possesses a script that is at times clunky and uneven, but features an outstanding firecracker turn from Cate Blanchett that has "Oscar-worthy" written all over it in flames. " — The Playlist
Posted Jul 19, 2013
C- 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " ...Pacific Rim is rather generic, familiar and cliche-ridden; ambitious ideas and spectacular designs wrapped up in a banal and tediously told story that's as clamorous, loud and disorienting as any Michael Bay movie..." — The Playlist
Posted Jul 12, 2013
D+ 56% The Look of Love (2013) " While stylishly capturing the verve, exotica, and free-spirited mojo of swinging '60s London, uber-prolific English director Michael Winterbottom's portrait of legendary U.K. smut impresario Paul Raymond is otherwise a shallow misfire." — The Playlist
Posted Jul 3, 2013
D+ 54% Some Girl(s) (2013) " What once were searing treatises on men, women, relationships and the various toxicities that exist between selfish, shitty, desperate characters, appear -- much like the film's protagonist -- just a little sad and pathetic." — The Playlist
Posted Jun 30, 2013
C 35% The Internship (2013) " ...The Internship is kind of a terrible movie and perhaps it's sad to think it exists while some struggling would-be genius filmmaker can't get his project made due to lack of resources..." — The Playlist
Posted Jun 5, 2013
B 98% Before Midnight (2013) " While not the most fun or sexiest film in this trilogy -- do you want to watch mom and dad fight for 30 minutes straight? -- it's easily the most necessary, and it's the logical extension of where this relationship story should and must go. " — The Playlist
Posted May 23, 2013
B+ 93% Frances Ha (2013) " Frances Ha is likely going to appear as one of Baumbach's most accessible and joyous works...it marks an exciting new period in the filmmaker's oeuvre and one that will hopefully yield many more collaborations with the endearing...Greta Gerwig." — The Playlist
Posted May 15, 2013
C+ 49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " The Great Gatsby is ultimately an epic tragedy, a parable about America, the American dream ethos and its consequences, but the movie's overblown style chokes the life out of any substance the story may have. " — The Playlist
Posted May 6, 2013
C+ 100% Michael H. Profession: Director () " Michael H. Profession: Director Is An Interesting But Never Essential Portrait Of Michael Haneke" — The Playlist
Posted May 3, 2013
A —— Oxyana () " Unwavering and unflinching, Oxyana is anguished and hard to look at. It's a pained and uncompromising look at horrors that have decimated a community..." — The Playlist
Posted May 3, 2013
A- 100% The Rocket (2013) " Endearing, gripping and heartwarming, The Rocket recently won the "World Narrative Competition" prize at Tribeca, and it's easy to see why. The picture is crowd pleasing and enjoyable, but admiringly respectful and carefully considered." — The Playlist
Posted May 3, 2013
B- —— Sunlight Jr. (2013) " Unflinchingly honest and grim, Sunlight Jr. is a valuable piece of work from a filmmaker who has a distinctive voice and concerns." — The Playlist
Posted Apr 24, 2013
D+ 49% Pain & Gain (2013) " Pain & Gain fails at being an entertaining and ridiculously fun Michael Bay movie and curdles into something much more tone deaf and obnoxious. It isn't necessarily Michael Bay's worst movie, but it might be his most overworked and least effective." — The Playlist
Posted Apr 24, 2013
A —— Hide Your Smiling Faces () " Delicately shot with a sense of intimacy, but never precious, Hide Your Smiling Faces invites you to be as inquisitive about the world as these boys are and to maybe even experience it through their eyes." — The Playlist
Posted Apr 24, 2013
D+ —— A Case Of You (2013) " There's some interesting ideas floating around about identity, manhood, and what it means to connect with someone in an over-connected world, but A Case Of You...never actively explores them." — The Playlist
Posted Apr 24, 2013
B —— The Pretty One () " Writer/director LaMarque...has a confident voice and she's a lovely new discovery...She pulls some amazing performances out of these actors and has a real sense for mood, tone and style..." — The Playlist
Posted Apr 24, 2013
C 42% All Is Bright (2013) " Impassively paced, lacking a forward narrative engine and nowhere near as fun or comical as it should be, the picture even lacks dynamic chemistry between the otherwise usually effervescent Paul Rudd and Paul Giamatti." — The Playlist
Posted Apr 22, 2013
B- 88% Welcome To Pine Hill (2013) " An intimate and existential character study of a man out of place with his past, himself, and his surroundings...it never quite coalesces as deeply as it hopes to, but this spiritual tale of redemption resonates. " — The Playlist
