The D Train (2015) 55% 6/10 EDIT “The frank execution of the film's surprisingly bold premise is just enough to outweigh the fact that it's not funny enough as a comedy and too unfocused as a drama.” – The Backlot May 8, 2015 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) 25% 4/10 EDIT “For a movie that traffics in the promise of sexual adventure, it's founded upon a woefully conservative narrative.” – The Backlot Feb 12, 2015 Full Review The Imitation Game (2014) 90% 6/10 EDIT “An entertaining thriller, but a miscalculated biopic.” – The Backlot Dec 1, 2014 Full Review The Boxtrolls (2014) 78% 7/10 EDIT “Laika's simplest story to date, a lean bedtime story dressed up to the nines in their trademark swooping, spiraling visual wizardry.” – The Backlot Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Pride (2014) 93% 8/10 EDIT “By living by the tenets of its characters the film overcomes any genre trappings, delivering a resounding and irresistible call to action.” – The Backlot Sep 22, 2014 Full Review A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) 33% 5/10 EDIT “Tumbleweeds literally blow between the laughs of this lackluster comedy.” – The Backlot May 30, 2014 Full Review Neighbors (2014) 72% 7/10 EDIT “This frat comedy is just as profane and fluid-filled as the great popped-collar romps of yore; the absence of queasiness about affection between men makes it decidedly modern.” – The Backlot May 9, 2014 Full Review Stage Fright (2014) 37% EDIT “If you check out Stage Fright looking for a fun, smart mashup of Glee and Scream, you'll likely be slayed by its charm.” – The Backlot Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Dallas Buyers Club (2013) 92% 8/10 EDIT “Though a spotty second half reveals its limitations, this story of one man's crusade against the virus soars thanks to the stellar performances of its two leads.” – AfterElton.com Dec 4, 2013 Full Review Philomena (2013) 91% 8/10 EDIT “An amiable and quietly infuriating true-life drama cut from the same durable cloth as its exceptional central character.” – AfterElton.com Nov 23, 2013 Full Review GBF (2013) 80% 7/10 EDIT “A smart and frothy teen farce for anyone who has ever felt that the flag they've been waving has wrapped itself around their throat and is cutting off their air supply.” – AfterElton.com Nov 23, 2013 Full Review Gravity (2013) 96% 9/10 EDIT “A gonzo, gorgeous, brilliantly executed nightmare of a film.” – AfterElton.com Oct 4, 2013 Full Review Don Jon (2013) 80% 8/10 EDIT “Gordon-Levitt has delivered a lively, timely, and decidedly adult look at love and sex that is both uncommonly mature for a first-time director and very fresh.” – AfterElton.com Sep 30, 2013 Full Review The Happy Sad (2013) 71% 7/10 EDIT “It may have the trappings of your everyday NYC indie, but it stands apart for exploring love and lust in a world where sexuality and race aren't the sources of the drama.” – AfterElton.com Aug 16, 2013 Full Review The Canyons (2013) 21% 2/10 EDIT “This dud is too busy pointing fingers at the people it thinks are ruining Hollywood to realize that the dream factory goes down one bad movie at a time - including this one.” – AfterElton.com Aug 2, 2013 Full Review The Conjuring (2013) 86% 8/10 EDIT “It never met a haunted house cliche it didn't like, but Wan mercilessly piles on the uncanny events, gradually escalating the pitch from creepy to freaky to utterly bananas.” – AfterElton.com Jul 18, 2013 Full Review Pacific Rim (2013) 72% 7/10 EDIT “By no means a jaegerbomb, but not the TKO some of us may have expected from our beloved visionary. Adjust expectations and enjoy the big, dumb brawl.” – AfterElton.com Jul 12, 2013 Full Review Laurence Anyways (2012) 84% 9/10 EDIT “This frequently brilliant epic does more than make us understand the challenges faced by trans people and those who love them - it makes us feel those challenges ourselves.” – AfterElton.com Jun 28, 2013 Full Review Call Me Kuchu (2012) 98% 8/10 EDIT “A heartbreaking portrait, a brutal wake-up call and a testament to how the actions of a few brave souls can create change.” – AfterElton.com Jun 14, 2013 Full Review Man of Steel (2013) 57% 7/10 EDIT “Part Superman, part Superman II, part Thor and part Dieux du Stade calendar shoot” – AfterElton.com Jun 13, 2013 Full Review The Great Gatsby (2013) 49% 4/10 EDIT “A bug-eyed, elbows-akimbo art deco migraine that gives one the horrifying sensation of being trapped at a theme party thrown on a cruise ship.” – AfterElton.com May 9, 2013 Full Review Evil Dead (2013) 64% 8/10 EDIT “The most fun I've had all year trying not to vomit.” – CampBlood.org Apr 2, 2013 Full Review Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) 52% 6/10 EDIT “While it's no classic, casual fans of well-staged action, decently-rendered CGI, and stature-indiscriminate sausage parties might want to check it out.” – AfterElton.com Mar 1, 2013 Full Review Mama (2013) 63% 7/10 EDIT “At long last, Vicki Lawrence is robbed of her title of Most Terrifying Mama - though it stumbles in its final scenes, this slow-burn creepfest offers a few fresh scares.” – CampBlood.org Jan 17, 2013 Full Review The Guilt Trip (2012) 35% 5/10 EDIT “While doting mothers may go for its gentle, corny brand of apron string S&M, there's not much there for the rest of us to enjoy.” – AfterElton.com Dec 19, 2012 Full Review
