Eden (2014) 84% 6/10 EDIT “Eden is an inconsistent look at an artist's musical journey, although one that eventually finds its rhythm and thematic focus.” – We Got This Covered Jun 18, 2015 Full Review Aloha (2015) 20% 4/10 EDIT “Aloha is a pale, predictable effort from Cameron Crowe, calling back to his previous feel-good flicks without covering new thematic ground.” – We Got This Covered May 28, 2015 Full Review Survivor (2015) 8% 4/10 EDIT “Relentlessly dumb yet royally entertaining, Survivor sometimes approaches the realm of being "so bad it's good."” – We Got This Covered May 26, 2015 Full Review Southern Rites (2015) 7/10 EDIT “Urgent, if sometimes muddled, Southern Rites is a powerful look at the entrenched racism of the Deep South.” – We Got This Covered May 18, 2015 Full Review Every Secret Thing (2014) 32% 5/10 EDIT “Amy Berg transitions to drama with Every Secret Thing, a mystery with shattering performances but a lacklustre case at its core.” – We Got This Covered May 16, 2015 Full Review Iris (2014) 98% 6/10 EDIT “Although Albert Maysles' doc boasts more energy than insight, Iris is a lovely tribute to a resilient New York fashion icon.” – We Got This Covered May 15, 2015 Full Review 5 Flights Up (2014) 47% 5/10 EDIT “5 Flights Up is a small story with small stakes that only manages medium pleasures, due to the warm presence of Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman.” – We Got This Covered May 7, 2015 Full Review Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Brett Morgen's fierce, revealing and deeply moving portrait of rock icon Kurt Cobain is one of the best music documentaries in years.” – We Got This Covered May 3, 2015 Full Review Preggoland (2014) 47% 5 EDIT “Preggoland is a pale, predictable comedy that makes one laugh and feel too rarely, despite the best efforts of a strong ensemble.” – We Got This Covered Apr 29, 2015 Full Review The Water Diviner (2014) 63% 5/10 EDIT “The Water Diviner has some compelling moments, yet its magical realism jars against the grave historical subject matter.” – We Got This Covered Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Boy Meets Girl (2014) 89% 6/10 EDIT “A formidable young cast bring potent emotional power to Boy Meets Girl, a rom-com with a refreshing premise that too often settles for formula.” – We Got This Covered Apr 11, 2015 Full Review Boychoir (2014) 46% 6/10 EDIT “Stirring music and strong performances elevate Boychoir above its conventional story beats into a rather compelling drama.” – We Got This Covered Mar 24, 2015 Full Review Growing Up and Other Lies (2014) 8% 3/10 EDIT “With putrid characters and pedestrian plotting, Growing Up and Other Lies is a thoroughly unpleasant comedy.” – We Got This Covered Mar 20, 2015 Full Review Champs (2015) 57% 4/10 EDIT “Uneven and too brief for its brawny subject, Champs fails to be an affecting underdog story or an in-depth look at boxing's many problems.” – We Got This Covered Mar 15, 2015 Full Review Seymour: An Introduction (2014) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Seymour: An Introduction is a loving and lovely tribute to a little-known American musician and mentor.” – We Got This Covered Mar 12, 2015 Full Review October Gale (2014) 19% 5/10 EDIT “Patricia Clarkson does all she can to anchor October Gale, but the story drifts between tones and ultimately sinks due to a lack of suspense and surprise.” – We Got This Covered Mar 7, 2015 Full Review X/Y (2014) 54% 5/10 EDIT “X/Y is a collection of staid, sexually charged New York stories that is rarely compelling, despite some good performances.” – We Got This Covered Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Chappie (2015) 32% 5/10 EDIT “Blomkamp's third straight sci-fi thriller with a social conscience fails to reach its concept's ambition with much intelligence or insight.” – We Got This Covered Mar 5, 2015 Full Review The Salvation (2014) 72% 6/10 EDIT “The Salvation may be more of a genre exercise than an effective thriller, but compelling performances help elevate this Danish western.” – We Got This Covered Feb 26, 2015 Full Review The DUFF (2015) 73% 5/10 EDIT “Derivative of better teen comedies and not daring enough to deal with the consequences of an image-based culture, The DUFF wastes a talented young ensemble.” – We Got This Covered Feb 18, 2015 Full Review McFarland, USA (2015) 80% 4/10 EDIT “McFarland, USA abides too closely to the paradigm of Disney sports dramas, becoming schmaltzy when it yearns to be inspiring.” – We Got This Covered Feb 17, 2015 Full Review The Worst Year of My Life (2015) 67% 3/10 EDIT “Even with a tiny budget, The Worst Year of My Life has ambition, but limp acting, unoriginal story beats and lifeless characterization mires its scope.” – We Got This Covered Feb 15, 2015 Full Review Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) 75% 8/10 EDIT “A brazen, subversive send-up of 007, Kingsman: The Secret Service also has the high-octane excitement to work as a spy film on its own merits.” – We Got This Covered Feb 12, 2015 Full Review Jupiter Ascending (2015) 27% 4/10 EDIT “Both bland and bombastic, Jupiter Ascending shows just how far the Wachowskis are descending as storytellers.” – We Got This Covered Feb 5, 2015 Full Review Project Almanac (2015) 38% 5/10 EDIT “Project Almanac has some amusing moments, but its found footage format confounds, frustrates and ruins the film's loopy fun.” – We Got This Covered Jan 29, 2015 Full
