The Family (2013) 28% 2/10 EDIT “A misfire from start to finish, The Family is unfunny, plodding and kind of depressing. Can someone take a hit out on it, please?” – We Got This Covered Sep 12, 2013 Full Review August: Osage County (2013) 67% 8/10 EDIT “August: Osage County is a brutal, heart-wrenchingingly impressive film that only mildly suffers from its downsized running time.” – We Got This Covered Sep 11, 2013 Full Review One Chance (2013) 64% 6/10 EDIT “A thin but perfectly pleasant biopic, One Chance will charm audiences in need of some cinematic comfort.” – We Got This Covered Sep 11, 2013 Full Review The Right Kind of Wrong (2013) 16% 3/10 EDIT “Pretty locales and an even prettier Ryan Kwanten don't make up for this painfully silly romcom that's more wrong than right.” – We Got This Covered Sep 6, 2013 Full Review How I Live Now (2013) 65% 8/10 EDIT “This dystopian coming-of-age tale is an exciting--and occasionally brutal--depiction of war, familial connection and the harsh realities of growing up too soon.” – We Got This Covered Sep 4, 2013 Full Review One Day (2011) 36% 7/10 EDIT “For everyone who's grown tired of the summer onslaught of superheroes, save-the-world plots and explosions, Hollywood finally offers some decent counter-programming in the form of the brainy romance One Day.” – We Got This Covered Feb 28, 2013 Full Review The Debt (2010) 77% 7/10 EDIT “The Debt may have its flaws, but thanks to some strong performances and gripping moments, it's worth investing in.” – We Got This Covered Feb 28, 2013 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2011) 69% 8/10 EDIT “Wuthering Heights is stunningly shot and beautifully acted. It puts you inside the minds of Cathy and Heathcliff in a way no other adaptation has done before.” – We Got This Covered Feb 11, 2013 Full Review The Descendants (2011) 88% 10/10 EDIT “The Descendants manages to even surpass those stratospheric expectations most fans will have walking into the theatre.” – We Got This Covered Feb 11, 2013 Full Review The Awakening (2011) 64% 7/10 EDIT “The Awakening glides ghost-like through its story, laying its own elaborate traps along the way.” – We Got This Covered Feb 11, 2013 Full Review Machine Gun Preacher (2011) 28% 4/10 EDIT “With an exploitation-friendly title like Machine Gun Preacher you'd think this movie would be the soul brother of Hobo With A Shotgun. Unfortunately, that is not so.” – We Got This Covered Feb 11, 2013 Full Review The Ides of March (2011) 84% 8/10 EDIT “George Clooney officially passes the impish matinee idol torch to Ryan Gosling in this smart, hella-cool (does Clooney waste his time on any other kind of movie these days?) political drama.” – We Got This Covered Feb 11, 2013 Full Review A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011) 69% 7/10 EDIT “While there's no mistaking a Harold & Kumar movie for something that's going win an Oscar, movie fans shouldn't be so quick to dismiss these 21st century incarnations of Cheech and Chong as purely shallow entertainment.” – We Got This Covered Feb 11, 2013 Full Review The Iron Lady (2011) 51% 5/10 EDIT “As it stands, The Iron Lady isn't doing any favours for history, feminism or at the very least fans of biopics, but it is a clear victory for Streep. It's just too bad that the film doesn't do her spot-on performance any justice.” – We Got This Covered Jan 29, 2013 Full Review Abduction (2011) 5% 2/10 EDIT “Card-carrying members of Team Jacob may approve, but Abduction won't help turn Lautner into the action star he clearly aspires to be.” – We Got This Covered Sep 24, 2012 Full Review Straw Dogs (2011) 42% 2/10 EDIT “The best that can be said about Straw Dogs is that it's watchable: and that's due to Alexander Skarsgard's stellar abs.” – We Got This Covered Sep 22, 2012 Full Review The Thing (2011) 34% 5/10 EDIT “The fact that The Thing falls flat is proof positive that unlike the film's industrious alien, parasitic remakes can't easily carbon copy the host.” – We Got This Covered Sep 22, 2012 Full Review Dirty Girl (2010) 35% 7.5/10 EDIT “Dirty Girl is an off beat gem that's well worth the bidding war it inspired at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.” – We Got This Covered Sep 22, 2012 Full Review The Three Musketeers (2011) 27% 5/10 EDIT “The film may have its fun moments but this adaptation does nothing more than make these Three Musketeers look like a bunch of Stooges.” – We Got This Covered Sep 22, 2012 Full Review Jack and Jill (2011) 3% 1/10 EDIT “Jack and Jill is an ill-advised, too long Saturday Night Live skit gone wrong. It's a cartoon. It's a way for all involved to pad their pockets and a way for Sandler to keep his friends employed.” – We Got This Covered Sep 22, 2012 Full Review The Five-Year Engagement (2012) 64% 7.5 EDIT “You'll definitely laugh and it's hard to resist the adorableness factor of Blunt and Segel.” – We Got This Covered Sep 17, 2012 Full Review Contagion (2011) 85% 7.5/10 EDIT “Contagion may be a case of feverishly good filmmaking (and an excellent, if slightly more high brow, addition to the disaster movie genre), but ultimately it will leave you with little besides an admiration for Soderbergh's artistry.” – We Got This Covered Sep 15, 2012 Full Review Drive (2011) 93% 10/10 EDIT “Nicolas Winding Refn's atmosperic direction, Gosling's sheer presence and a soundtrack that's perfection make Drive a fantastic film.” – We Got This Covered Sep 15, 2012 Full Review Happy Feet Two (2011) 45% 8/10 EDIT “Happy Feet Two is a fun uplifting family flick that accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do.” – We Got This Covered Sep 15, 2012 Full Review A Dangerous Method (2011) 78% 6/10 EDIT “A Dangerous Method is beautifully crafted and abundant with subtext but it's also sterile, dramatically turgid and at times, kind of a drag.” – We Got This Covered Sep 15, 2012 Full Review
