Gravity (2013)
|
"Believe the hype: Gravity is as jaw-droppingly spectacular as you've heard - magnificent from a technical perspective but also a marvel of controlled acting and precise tone. "

Don Jon (2013)
|
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt turns the gym-tan-laundry routine into an art form with Don Jon, his vibrant and viciously profane directorial debut."

Prisoners (2013)
|
"It's got lofty aspirations but it also wants to wallow in the muck - to thrill you and sicken you in equal measure while also being About Something. "

Blue Caprice (2013)
|
"Blue Caprice takes a true story of violence and panic and tells it in the most artful, understated manner imaginable - which makes its events even more powerful."

Salinger (2013)
|
"It feels overstuffed and overlong, getting bogged down as it does in the minutiae of certain segments of Salinger's life without conveying a big-picture sense of what his actual writing was like. "

Getaway (2013)

"Getaway might have been enjoyable as a mindless bit of dumb, late-summer entertainment if it had been vaguely coherent. "

Drinking Buddies (2013)
|
"Drinking Buddies is a crackling screwball comedy refracted through a low-key, mumblecore prism."

The World's End (2013)
|
"The World's End might be the best time you'll have at the movies all year. It is a complete blast: urgently paced, hilariously clever and blisteringly profane."

Jobs (2013)
|
"The irony is that a man who treasured innovation and sleek, stylish design should be the subject of a film that's so bland and bloated."

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
|
"The unloaded gun is also unfortunately a rather apt metaphor for the movie itself. Kick-Ass 2 may look powerful, but doesn't have much real pop."

We're The Millers (2013)

The Internship (2013)

"Similar to Eddie Murphy's hard right turn from daring and profane comedy to family-friendly romps, Vaughn and Wilson have gone all soft and gooey here. "

The Bling Ring (2013)
|
"The sense of detachment that is a signature of Sofia Coppola's work -- the coolly distant, stylishly dreamlike way she regards her characters -- works to her detriment in The Bling Ring."

Monsters University (2013)
|
"It is essentially Revenge of the Nerds, with fur. And scales. And whatever gooey, gelatinous substance comprises the outer coating of various other oddball creatures in this crazy parallel world. "

I'm So Excited! (2013)

"Despite the film's playfulness, it's still quite clear that we're in the hands of a master who takes the work seriously, if not the material or his characters. "

World War Z (2013)
|
"As both thrilling spectacle and escapist summer entertainment, World War Z is enormously effective, with Brad Pitt at the center hopscotching the globe in search of the origin of a zombie apocalypse."

The Heat (2013)
|
"Director Paul Feig, whose Bridesmaids upended notions of what a raunchy ensemble comedy could be, does it again here with another genre. "
