My Amityville Horror (2013)
|
"A rudderless exercise in examination, ultimately the doc has no point of view, no upshot, and no reason for being."

The Intouchables (2012)

The Place Beyond The Pines (2013)
|
"An epic soap opera obscured by high style and buoyed by Ryan Gosling's 8-pack abs, The Place Beyond the Pines is really nothing more than delicious drivel masquerading as a serious drama."

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

Mama (2013)

Gangster Squad (2013)

"While it is true Gangster Squad could not quite hold its balance between over the top camp ala Dick Tracy and taking itself as seriously as L.A. Confidential I'll admit, I enjoyed it."

W.E. (2012)
