The Innkeepers (2012) |
"
You can see a thinly-veiled repackaging of The Shining if you look hard enough, but as many patrons will be watching through their fingers, the similarities won't matter that much over the course of this terrific ghost story."

Woody Allen: A Documentary (2012) |
"
Robert Weide's portrait of the artist and the man, Woody Allen, is a comprehensive document made no less captivating by its conventional approach."

Bel Ami (2012) |
"
...it finds its feet as a bed-hopping, back-stabbing guilty pleasure, and can be enjoyed sufficiently in that context. "

Safe (2012) |
"
Had the product (and Safe is, above all else, Hollywood product) reached a little higher, its title might have seemed coolly ironic. Instead, it inadvertently represents truth in advertising."

6 Plots () |
"
The high-concept horror device - like most far-fetched movie ideas that aren't executed with precision - leaves gaping holes in 6 Plots' real-time logic. "

Men in Black III (2012) |
"
There is genuine heart in the reteaming of J and K, certainly sufficient to warrant MIB3's existence; enough, perhaps, to even trumpet it."

The Woman in Black (2012) |
"
It is a work that transcends the genre whilst not skimping on any of the skin-crawling thrills that the premise promises to deliver."

The Over the Hill Band (2011) |
"
It's a set-up that requires a light touch and deft characterisations but Enthoven plods, heavy-handedly, through the tropes."

The Dictator (2012) |
"
The only achievement of Cohen's 'watch-me-shock-you!' third-rate buffoonery and Charles' sitcom-standard lensing is to do what Dubya Bush couldn't - bring down a murderous ruler ingloriously."

Dark Shadows (2012) |
"
Those queuing for the sort of giggly nonsense that the ad campaign promises - 'Captain Jack Sparrow' as a pasty bloodsucker, circa 1972 - will be bummed, but those familiar with Dan Curtis' original TV series may be perfectly satiated."
