Latest Movie Ratings

Star Trek Into Darkness

"More of the same from J.J. "Lens Flare" Abrams. No substance. All action. Discredit to Gene's legacy. Review pending."

-- Wesley Lovell , Cinema Sight

The Boxer

"If The Boxer does not get a good share of Academy Award nominations, then the fight is fixed. "

-- Joe Holleman , St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Even the cultivated sportsmen who fill the end zones at Raiders games might find this bloody, sadistic display of mayhem beneath their entertainment standards."

-- Duane Byrge , Hollywood Reporter

What Maisie Knew

-- David Poland , TNT's Rough Cut

Batman Returns

"Batman Returns is the rarest of Hollywood beasts -- a sequel that's better than the original"

-- Jay Carr , Boston Globe
