Hysteria (2012)

"Ultimately, Hysteria isn't much more than a modest trifle of a movie, soon to be forgotten before we hit the parking lot."

The Three Stooges (2012)

"Neither as laugh-out-loud funny as many had hoped for, nor as excruciatingly dreadful as most feared it would be."

Like Crazy (2011)

"For a film with virtually no plot, little scripted dialogue, and only the most basic of character sketches, Like Crazy manages to say more about true love than even the grandest of classic love stories."

What's Your Number? (2011)

"In spite of efforts to instill in our young women the notion that self-worth shouldn't be measured by her ability to attract a husband, filmmakers continue to craft comedy from that very outmoded belief."

The Ides of March (2011)

Straw Dogs (2011)

"It's a good movie, but not a better remake."

Frank Wilkins

The Debt (2011)

"A taut, suspenseful ride through the doldrums of the late summer movie dead season."

Frank Wilkins

Our Idiot Brother (2011)

"More clever than laugh-out-loud funny, the comedy is mostly driven by our observations of Ned, who can't help screwing up the lives of his sisters one-by-one, despite his good intentions."

30 Minutes or Less (2011)

"Balancing the film's raunchy comedic tone with just the right amount of action and slap-to-the-face reality takes a deft hand. And that's exactly what he does here."

Frank Wilkins

The Change-Up (2011)

"A film that fails to counter its smutty better half with anything other than schmaltzy, sentimental hogwash."

Beginners (2011)

"Mike Mills has taken a particularly confusing and painful part of his own life and turned it into a moving expression of acceptance, compromise, and the struggle to overcome obstacles."

Submarine (2011)

"A fresh, quirky, teen-angst drama that plays out somewhat like a Welsh Rushmore."

Frank Wilkins

The Tree of Life (2011)

"Yes, Malick's Tree of Life is a beautiful film and its visuals will stay with you for a long time. There's no question he's a master visual filmmaker. But his storytelling must now be seriously examined."

Frank Wilkins

True Legend (2011)

"This gnarly beast -- written by To Chi-long -- is epic in scope"

Hobo With a Shotgun (2011)

"Hobo with a Shotgun certainly delivers on its promises of excess."

Bridesmaids (2011)

"Bridesmaids is not a movie for those looking for a pleasant, uneventful night out at the movies. Yes, it's touching. And yes, it resonates with a heart of gold. But it's also awkward, raunchy, and disgusting. Just like real life."

Frank Wilkins

Something Borrowed (2011)

"We're never given any legitimate reason why Rachel would consider the self-absorbed Darcy such a dear friend for so many years."
