“Wants to be the next generation’s ‘E.T.’ For the most part, the effort feels genuine albeit slightly generic.”

Jurassic World

“Overcomes misdeeds in its screenplay by giving us some thrilling dinosaur action.”

The Help

“A moving and somewhat frustrating dramedy set in the midst of the simmering ’60s Civil Rights Era.”

“Left with profound questions lingering in a screenplay that merely skims the surface.”

Terminator Salvation

“An exercise in mechanics…loud explosions and artificial nostalgic moments.”
