8% Runner Runner (2013) " 'Runner Runner' is a thriller that doesn't want to do the leg work to actually be a good thriller. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Oct 3, 2013
83% Don Jon (2013) " I wish Gordon-Levitt had done a lot more with this material. There was definitely potential there. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 27, 2013
59% Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) " I think you and yours will find this movie very entertaining and worth the extra outlay of cash for theaters showing it in 3-D. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 27, 2013
16% Baggage Claim (2013) " A few tweaks here and there, and this good movie could have been a very good and even great movie. As it is, 'Baggage Claim' ultimately succeeds chiefly because Patton is so appealing in the lead role. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 27, 2013
33% The Family (2013) " I am giving it a mild recommendation, because I think the good outweighs the not-so-good. But you have to have a fairly strong stomach for violence to be able to fully enjoy it. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 12, 2013
53% Instructions Not Included (2013) " 'Instructions Not Included' is definitely not light on its feet. But despite its flaws, it's effective in the end. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 6, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " Pegg gives a fantastic, no-holds-barred performance here, arguably the best of his career. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Aug 23, 2013
30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " The movie is undeniably clunky and self-consciously extreme. But it's also very entertaining for those open to the experience. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Aug 16, 2013
27% Planes (2013) " The clichés just pile up and there is little attempt made to deviate from formula. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Aug 8, 2013
14% The Smurfs 2 (2013) " I felt Smurfing robbed by those five screenwriters. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 31, 2013
14% R.I.P.D. (2013) " This was better than I thought it would be. But it's nothing you should pay full price for. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 19, 2013
65% Turbo (2013) " I think 'Turbo' is the most pleasant surprise of the 2013 summer movie season. (Full Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 17, 2013
8% Grown Ups 2 (2013) " The film, at its core, is about being bullied & standing up to bullies and claiming one's community. Some nice sentiments, but so much of it is lost amidst the rampant, third-grade level stabs at humor.(Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 11, 2013
76% The Kings of Summer (2013) " This just could have been so much more. In fact, it SHOULD have been so much more. (Complete Content Details for Parents are also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jun 7, 2013
35% The Internship (2013) " This is a good movie that another couple of screenplay drafts might have made a great movie. (Complete Content Details for Parents are also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jun 7, 2013
11% After Earth (2013) " The problem is that Jaden Smith is a truly, deeply limited actor. When you call on him to do THIS much on screen, it's not good. In fact, it's painful. (Complete Content Details for Parents are also available)" — Screen It!
Posted May 31, 2013
98% Mud (2013) " It's totally worth it to pay good money to see a good, little film nestled between theaters showing 'Iron Man 3' and 'The Great Gatsby.' (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted May 16, 2013
35% Peeples (2013) " I liked this movie. The characters in it were so likable. And I have liked thinking about the movie ever since. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted May 10, 2013
55% The Company You Keep (2013) " At the very least, this generation proves that they still have compelling stories to tell. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted May 2, 2013
4% Scary Movie 5 (2013) " I have been to funerals a LOT less sad than this laughless 85 minutes. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Apr 12, 2013
62% Evil Dead (2013) " On its own terms, it is sensationally effective, basically structured as a three-act play whose Acts II and III are almost unrelentingly intense. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Apr 5, 2013
28% G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) " Needs some decent dialogue, some good acting, and at least a plot twist or two to qualify something like this as worth seeing. 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' has none of that. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Mar 28, 2013
66% Spring Breakers (2013) " 'Spring Breakers' is so unrelentingly base, vulgar and titillating that it's ultimately exhausting. And no matter how artful your intentions are, I still think you need characters to draw you in. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Mar 22, 2013
38% Dead Man Down (2013) " Oh, to be Colin Farrell and look simply smashing in a pouring rainstorm, a raging wind tunnel or bleeding profusely from the head. Too bad he can't look good while acting out a bad screenplay. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Mar 8, 2013
52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " It's not so much a great film as it is a great spectacle, with epic action sequences, intense special effects, and some really eye-popping 3-D. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Mar 1, 2013
37% Dark Skies (2013) " It is by no means a great movie. But it's well made, well acted, and reasonably tense and involving. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Feb 22, 2013
14% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " There is no denying that this is one Hollywood property that has run out of steam. It's not so much a good day to die hard, as it is a good day to retire this franchise. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Feb 13, 2013
46% Bullet to the Head (2013) " If you line up at the box office and pay cash money to see a movie called 'Bullet to the Head,' don't walk out of it complaining that there was no intricate plotting or subtle, nuanced, character work. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Feb 1, 2013
29% Broken City (2013) " 'Broken City' isn't a bad movie. Just an unremarkable one. It plays like imitation Sidney Lumet. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jan 18, 2013
19% Texas Chainsaw (2013) " If you don't care for the characters - and, sweet Caviezel, the people in this flick are morons - it's hard to feel any fear for them. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jan 4, 2013
18% Parental Guidance (2012) " I just wish it was funnier and smarter. I wish it had better production values, more interesting locations, and quirkier personalities. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Dec 25, 2012
74% Rise of the Guardians (2012) " An optimistic film for an increasingly cynical and pessimistic age. I really loved it. A film like this should be cherished, celebrated, recommended, and (yes) believed in. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Nov 21, 2012
48% The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) " With the bar set low, I am legitimately delighted when something like this actually delivers entertainment value beyond what its core fan base has come to pant over. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Nov 16, 2012
25% Fun Size (2012) " It comes off as some kind of odd pretender of a flick. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Oct 26, 2012
24% Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) " The franchise hasn't been drained of its effectiveness just yet. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Oct 19, 2012
21% Taken 2 (2012) " Pretty much the direct opposite of everything that was right about the first film. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Oct 4, 2012
33% Won't Back Down (2012) " It is made with passion and fire in the gut, and it is ultimately a moving experience the closer these ladies and their supporters get to realizing their dream. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 27, 2012
81% Pitch Perfect (2012) " 'Pitch Perfect' seeks nothing more than to be entertaining, and it is.(Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 27, 2012
39% The Possession (2012) " Some good scares, but not enough to pay full admission price. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Sep 2, 2012
26% 2016: Obama's America (2012) " Not the hatchet job I thought it would be, but a fairly serious-minded attempt to get to the heart of some of the decisions President Obama has made (and not made) during his first term in the White House. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Aug 24, 2012
56% The Bourne Legacy (2012) " Inevitably, this film will be compared to the Damon trilogy, and I think it's a worthy entry in the series. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Aug 10, 2012
51% Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012) " If written just a bit sharper, the film could have been a really affecting father-son tale. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Aug 3, 2012
42% Step Up Revolution (2012) " The dance sequences are thrilling and eye-popping and worth the price of admission if this is your thing. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 27, 2012
17% The Watch (2012) " You can see what all concerned were going for here, and you can lament where they came up short (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 27, 2012

Posted Jul 13, 2012
51% Savages (2012) " I do mind being subjected to two-plus hours of general unpleasantness and being deposited back out into the summer heat with nothing to show for it. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 6, 2012
77% Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012) " Even if you had front row tickets at one of Perry's concerts, you haven't had a visual experience like this with the singer. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jul 5, 2012
21% Madea's Witness Protection (2012) " It might be the worst of the various films in which the writer-producer-director-actor dons the wig, house dress, and fat suit of his titular alter ego. And that's saying a lot! (Full Content Review for Parents also available)" — Screen It!
Posted Jun 29, 2012
55% People Like Us (2012) " Unlike some Nicholas Sparks weepie, at least this one waited until very late in its running time to go for the tear-duct jugular. (Full Content Parental Review also available)" — Screen It!
