Empathy, Inc. (2018) 89% 6.3/10 EDIT “For a movie that initially tastes like an unexpected treat, it's especially disappointing that Empathy, Inc.'s third act sours and leaves a bitter aftertaste.” – Paste Magazine Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Dave Made a Maze (2017) 85% 5.9/10 EDIT “It's obvious that, at the very least, the production ... must have been an absolute blast. Whether or not that's enough for the viewer? Well, sometimes it's okay to defer to one's instinct in the end.” – Paste Magazine Aug 18, 2017 Full Review The Endless (2017) 91% 9.5/10 EDIT “Enjoy The Endless-Benson and Moorhead are on a roll.” – Paste Magazine Apr 27, 2017 Full Review Maggie (2015) 61% 5.9/10 EDIT “Henry Hobson's morose family tragedy, Maggie, features zombie-ism incidentally, seemingly with nothing on its mind other than witnessing its characters suffer.” – Paste Magazine May 13, 2015 Full Review The Age of Adaline (2015) 55% 6/10 EDIT “What a throwback pleasure director Lee Toland Krieger's latest would have been, if it weren't so exasperatingly unfocused.” – Paste Magazine Apr 30, 2015 Full Review Spring (2014) 85% 9.1/10 EDIT “The love story at the center of Spring is mysterious, funny and often poignant -- a tough enough thing even to describe, let alone commit to film.” – Paste Magazine Apr 3, 2015 Full Review The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) 59% 6.9/10 EDIT “Although [this film] is easily the best entry in the (theoretically) Bilbo-centric franchise, the inherent problems with blowing up a compact children's fantasy book into a three-part epic film series... is never more apparent than it is here.” – Paste Magazine Dec 18, 2014 Full Review John Wick (2014) 86% 8.2/10 EDIT “The blood-slicked, vividly drawn film universe John Wick illustrates is such a generous slice of pulp that, even if not original, per se, it exudes a confidence rarely seen these days, surefire franchises be damned.” – Paste Magazine Oct 30, 2014 Full Review Ragnarok (2013) 71% 7.9/10 EDIT “Ragnarok ain't a home run, but it's a solid double, and certainly enough to cause Hollywood scouts to raise an eyebrow.” – Paste Magazine Sep 4, 2014 Full Review The Expendables 3 (2014) 32% 5/10 EDIT “Now, it's 2014, and the third iteration has arrived, working itself into such a lather in its attempt to resuscitate the momentum that one can practically smell the flop sweat.” – Paste Magazine Aug 15, 2014 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 90% 8.5/10 EDIT “[It's] filled to near bursting as its enormous cast scrambles through the vagaries of its time travel paradox-rich design. But Singer threads the needle with such apparent effortlessness in stitching it all together, the seams are practically invisible.” – Paste Magazine May 23, 2014 Full Review Under the Skin (2013) 83% 8.9/10 EDIT “It's a rare feat for a film to successfully convey the voice of the Other. Especially when that voice is an Other to everyone else here on Earth.” – Paste Magazine Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Alien Abduction (2014) 29% 4.5/10 EDIT “As a horror flick, even one held to the impossibly low standards of the found-footage variety, Alien Abduction fails to thrill or chill.” – Paste Magazine Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Her (2013) 95% 9.4/10 EDIT “Spike Jonze is, despite proof consisting only of four features, one of the best filmmakers working today. His latest, Her handily verifies it.” – Paste Magazine Jan 23, 2014 Full Review Side Effects (2013) 82% 8.5/10 EDIT “Side Effects is, ultimately, another example of the director's commitment to fine craftsmanship above any identifiable fingerprint.” – Paste Magazine Dec 16, 2013 Full Review La Camioneta: The Journey of One American School Bus (2012) 100% 9/10 EDIT “La Camioneta wrings an extraordinary amount of humanity and geopolitical insight from its subject.” – Paste Magazine Nov 8, 2013 Full Review Bounty Killer (2013) 62% 7.9/10 EDIT “Pair it with the likes of Machete or Hobo with a Shotgun, and you've got yourself a fantastic way to waste a Sunday afternoon.” – Paste Magazine Oct 24, 2013 Full Review We Are What We Are (2013) 85% 7.8/10 EDIT “Despite the occasional failure of the film to let the atmosphere and subtle performances stand unadorned, We Are What We Are is an impressive entry from director Mickle.” – Paste Magazine Sep 27, 2013 Full Review The Wolverine (2013) 71% 7/10 EDIT “Taken as a whole, The Wolverine is nearly as hit-and-miss as the rest of Mangold's filmography.” – Paste Magazine Aug 2, 2013 Full Review Think of Me (2011) 77% 7.6/10 EDIT “Many viewers will lack the emotional fortitude (or cinematic masochism?) to withstand About Sunny. But for those who can, there is, at the center of its interminable sadness, a beautiful portrait of the sacrifice a mother will make for her child.” – Paste Magazine Jun 3, 2013 Full Review Detour (2013) 53% 8/10 EDIT “Despite doubling as a plausibility-straining endorsement for the battery life of Apple's iPhone, Dickerson's claustrophobic survival thriller proves itself a technically proficient, expertly paced affair.” – Paste Magazine Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Warm Bodies (2013) 81% 7.1/10 EDIT “As a mild diversion that won't bother either person on a date, one could do far worse.” – Paste Magazine Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) 17% 5.8/10 EDIT “Just another entry in Bland Fairy Tale Theater, a shapeless riff on those hapless German siblings with the worst parents ever.” – Paste Magazine Feb 1, 2013 Full Review Resolution (2012) 81% 9.3/10 EDIT “As a meditation on horror films, and even film itself, Resolution might be in danger of coming across as pretentious, if it weren't so damned entertaining throughout.” – Paste Magazine Jan 25, 2013 Full Review John Dies at the End (2012) 59% 8/10 EDIT “Like Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead, Coscarelli's film functions as affectionate homage to the horror material from which it draws its inspiration.” – Paste Magazine Jan 4, 2013 Full Review
