Love Is All You Need (2013) |

Even if it's flawed by a few obvious clichés, Love Is All You Need still comes highly recommended."

Spring Breakers (2013) |
"
If you can look beyond Harmony Korine's misogynistic, uncomfortably leering view of the women in his film, there is some stuff to enjoy, though the film is held back by an unfortunate lack of substance."

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) |
"
Hot properties John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Horrible Bosses) penned the script, and while it's another effort which lacks depth and real emotional involvement, they're certainly proving themselves as dependable, if not exceptional, talents."

A.C.O.D. (2013) |

Writer/director Stu Zicherman's last work in Hollywood was co-writing Jennifer Garner superhero movie Elektra, so A.C.O.D. is quite at least a big step in the right direction, but I hope there's a little more craft and a little more bite on the next film."
