Liberal Arts (2012) 72% 3.5/4 EDIT “Besides the acting and original screenplay, the classical music score is another favorable component of the crowd-pleasing escapism offered by this film.” – Entertainment Spectrum Oct 20, 2012 Full Review Sleepwalk With Me (2012) 83% 3/4 EDIT “The movie is hilariously funny and witty. Although messy at times, Matt's relationship with Abby is sweet and endearing. The sleepwalking incidents are the weakest links in the narrative, because it is difficult to show on screen the vividness of...” – Entertainment Spectrum Sep 16, 2012 Full Review Lawless (2012) 67% 3/4 EDIT “This gripping crime drama holds your interest. You need to be prepared for horrific scenes of bloody violence, profane language, nudity & sexuality. La Beouf gives his finest performance to date. Pearce is the perfect foil as the villain. Hardy continues” – Entertainment Spectrum Sep 2, 2012 Full Review Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry (2012) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “This riveting documentary deserves consideration for year-end awards. Klayman gained unprecedented access to this very photogenic man with a dynamic personality.” – Entertainment Spectrum Aug 16, 2012 Full Review Your Sister's Sister (2011) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “This twisted tale has hidden agendas, pillow talk, latent romantic feelings, verbal fireworks and an ambiguous ending. As an avid bicyclist, the movie earns points from me in having Jack always wearing a helmet while riding. It loses its goodwill when...” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 30, 2012 Full Review People Like Us (2012) 52% 3/4 EDIT “This cinematic gem is the perfect counter-programming to the typical noisy summer blockbusters. It grabs you by the heartstrings and elicits a deeply felt emotional pull. The ending will leave you in tears.” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 30, 2012 Full Review Rock of Ages (2012) 43% 2.5/4 EDIT “his crowd-pleasing film provides goofy fun and outrageous moments. A nostalgic good time is guaranteed as you listen to great voices sing these memorable songs. You will find yourself laughing at the hilarious surprises along the way. Cruise is...” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 15, 2012 Full Review Peace, Love & Misunderstanding (2011) 30% 2.5/4 EDIT “The upbeat multi-generational slice-of-life narrative bears the appropriate tagline-"Life is a journey. Family is a trip." It is worth the price of admission to see the gifted Fonda grace the screen playing this free-wheeling, eccentric force of nature.” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 8, 2012 Full Review Prometheus (2012) 73% 3/4 EDIT “The suspense and tension keeps you on the edge of your seat. Everyone will come away with their own individualized impressions from experiencing this film. Some may be frustrated by the lack of profound definitive answers and the ambiguity that you're...” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 8, 2012 Full Review Monsieur Lazhar (2011) 98% 3/4 EDIT “This moving film features exquisite performances by Fellag and a stunning ensemble of child actors. The movie also gets high marks in cinematography, sound, original musical score and editing.” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 1, 2012 Full Review Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) 48% 2/4 EDIT “The movie gets off to a great start with Theron captivating the screen with her presence. She disappears for long stretches in a bloated middle section that takes the air out of the balloon. The movie's strengths are the costumes, the makeup and...” – Entertainment Spectrum Jun 1, 2012 Full Review Marvel's the Avengers (2012) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “The movie engages the viewer from a very strong opening sequence through the two bonus scenes included in the closing credits. The nearly two and a half hour running time passes by swiftly and leaves you eagerly awaiting a follow-up sequel.” – Entertainment Spectrum May 10, 2012 Full Review American Reunion (2012) 45% 2.5/4 EDIT “Screenwriters Hurwitz and Schlossberg play up the nostalgia as the characters now in their early 30s enter a different phase of life. They stick to the formula of mixing sweet heart-tugging moments with giddy gross-out humor. a nice tight bow is...” – Entertainment Spectrum Apr 9, 2012 Full Review The Hunger Games (2012) 84% 2.5/4 EDIT “Lawrence is terrific in the lead role and gives us someone to root for to survive this horrible ordeal. The supporting players carve out memorable characters. The musical score, costumes and makeup are the other strengths.” – Entertainment Spectrum Mar 31, 2012 Full Review Service Entrance (2011) 67% 3/4 EDIT “This delightful slice-of-life observation on class distinctions will make you feel good inside. Luchini carries the movie as the central character with physical mannerisms that have a comedic bent. Other strengths include...” – Entertainment Spectrum Mar 16, 2012 Full Review Big Miracle (2012) 74% 3/4 EDIT “Krasinski and Barrymore are very likable characters with screen charisma. They seem at ease having previously worked with Kwapis. The movie's other chief strengths are the excellent casting choices, the cinematography and the lifelike animatronic puppets.” – Entertainment Spectrum Feb 9, 2012 Full Review The Grey (2012) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “The cinematography is spectacular. This is one movie where the handheld camera is used effectively. The production design of the disassembled plane & the attendant wreckage is top drawer. Other strengths include the lighting, facial close-ups, makeup &...” – Entertainment Spectrum Jan 28, 2012 Full Review Man on a Ledge (2012) 31% 3/4 EDIT “Congratulations are in order to director Asger Leth and screenwriter Pablo F. Fenjves for the ingenious storytelling in their joint feature film debuts. The superb editing and brisk pacing are additional strengths of the first must-see movie of 2012.” – Entertainment Spectrum Jan 28, 2012 Full Review Contraband (2012) 50% 2/4 EDIT “A perfect fit for release during the first month of a new year when expectations are low. Guzikowski in his filmmaking debut appears to have thrown all the contrived relationships and unlikely coincidences from the original film into a blender. The...” – Entertainment Spectrum Jan 13, 2012 Full Review Le Havre (2011) 99% 3/4 EDIT “The movie never wears out its welcome with an efficient 93-minute running time. Besides the four principal characters, the supporting cast makes an impression playing a grocer, a baker, a tavern owner and Marcel's best buddy from Vietnam. It also...” – Entertainment Spectrum Dec 30, 2011 Full Review Young Adult (2011) 80% 3/4 EDIT “Theron gives a terrific performance. She elevates the movie by demonstrating her versatility. She almost makes you feel sympathetic towards this blonde, beautiful and sharp-witted anti-heroine. Oswalt deserves consideration for supporting actor...” – Entertainment Spectrum Dec 17, 2011 Full Review My Week With Marilyn (2011) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “Director Simon Curtis in his first theatrical feature film gives audiences a wonderfully entertaining insider point of view. You feel like you get to know Monroe in an intimate and personal way during the 101-minute running time. Besides the divine...” – Entertainment Spectrum Nov 23, 2011 Full Review Arthur Christmas (2011) 93% 3/4 EDIT “This is a definite Oscar contender for Best Animated Film. It has a great story, spectacular visuals and a fantastic musical score by composer Harry Gregson-Williams. It bears a striking resemblance to the timeless Christmas classic "The Polar Express."” – Entertainment Spectrum Nov 23, 2011 Full Review The Descendants (2011) 88% 4/4 EDIT “This unforgettable movie succeeds by making audiences feel like a part of the family. Clooney knocks it out of the park with a marvelous performance. Woodley makes a strong bid for a supporting actress nomination. The supporting players are all given...” – Entertainment Spectrum Nov 23, 2011 Full Review Happy Feet Two (2011) 45% 2.5/4 EDIT “This cheap knockoff has the same energy & spirit of exuberance, but the flimsy story is not as strong as its predecessor. The movie suffers from clich-ridden dialogue after exhilarating highs from a string of big musical numbers featuring...” – Entertainment Spectrum Nov 19, 2011 Full Review
