Iron Man 3 (2013)
|
"The most memorable moments in Iron Man 3 involve Stark's brief and hilarious, yet touching relationship with a young boy (Ty Simpkins) whose own father deserted him at 6 years old."

Family Weekend (2013)
|
"Family Weekend is just as simpy as its plot sounds, but under Alabama-born director Epps, making his feature directing debut, this comedy skips along on good intentions with actors who put more into the characters than they deserve."

Evil Dead (2013)
|
"Call this Evil Dead "Dead Serious," with actors who read clichés with all the conviction of a cast on a bad soap opera."

Life of Pi (2012)
|
"Life of Pi effortlessly blends spiritualism with realism and serves up a pungent mix of live-action and animation so carefully rendered, you will constantly ask yourself, How did they get a tiger to do that?"

Straw Dogs (2011)

"As a straightforward, sensationalistic violent thriller about ordinary people fighting for survival, Rod Lurie's Straw Dogs works better than most."

The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos) (2010)

Iron Man 2 (2010)
|
"Robert Downey Jr.'s irreverent, Peter Pan-like portrayal of billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) continues to be the movie's strongest asset."

The Road (2009)
|
"This is a dramatic, slow moving Mad Max with a kid along for the awful ride. It's a survival tale, and The Road should be seen for those who want to keep carrying the fire."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
|
"Normally it's a terrible thing if a film only gives us one good character ... except when it's Indiana Jones, with a whip at his side. A terrible story can't totally ruin Jones. Thank God."

Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)
