Dogtooth (Kynodontas) (2010)
|
"This pastel-colored portrait of disaster capitalism was made long before the Greek economic crisis, and that's something of a relief: Straight parable could never feel as urgent and unexpectedly moving."

Knight & Day (2010)

"He's just so irritating, Roy Miller, each subpar quip delivered with a cocksure grin that makes you wish the bad guys were better at hitting back."

I Am Love (2010)
|
"Luca Guadagnino's visually ravishing third feature suggests an epic that Visconti and Sirk might have made after they finished watching Vertigo and reading Madame Bovary while gorging themselves on aphrodisiacs."

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Iron Man 2 (2010)

OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus (Lost in Rio) (2010)

Date Night (2010)

Birdemic: Shock And Terror (2008)
|
"The rowdy New York midnight premiere of writer-director James Nguyen's self-proclaimed "romantic thriller" Birdemic: Shock and Terror proves that there's room-alongside Ed Wood's entire oeuvre--for one more in the pantheon of beloved trash-terpieces."

Youth in Revolt (2010)

That Evening Sun (2009)
|
"Holbrook is as unsentimental as Abner himself, and the beauty of his work here lies in his refusal to soften the character's hard edges. Regrettably, Teems's editorial choices in the film's homestretch waste that discipline."

Casino (1995)

SubUrbia (1997)
