The Family (2013) |
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

August: Osage County (2013) |
August: Osage County is a brutal, heart-wrenchingingly impressive film that only mildly suffers from its downsized running time. - We Got This Covered

The Right Kind of Wrong (2013) |
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

How I Live Now (2013) |
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

One Day (2011) |
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

Wuthering Heights (2011) |

Machine Gun Preacher (2011) |
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

The Ides of March (2011) |
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

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011) |
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

The Iron Lady (2011) |
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

Abduction (2011) |
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

Straw Dogs (2011) |
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

The Thing (2011) |
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

Jack and Jill (2011) |
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

Contagion (2011) |
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

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) |

We Bought a Zoo (2011) |
In short, We Bought a Zoo is all bore and no roar, and while it's certainly not the worst of Crowe's career, it's far from earning its stripes as a worthy successor to his earlier films. - We Got This Covered

This Means War (2012) |
In a turn of events that utterly defies the terrible trailer that's been making the rounds for the last few months, This Means War actually proves to be an agreeably dim-witted combo of testosterone-fuelled action and an estrogen-friendly love story. - We Got This Covered
