The Hobbit
“Slides easily into the groove that turned the ‘Rings’ trilogy into blockbusters.”
Playing for Keeps
“A real hack-job, filled with… abandoned plot points and cringe-worthy performances.”
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2
“Never fully realized its potential in mythologizing its vampires.”
Red Dawn
“Another unnecessary remake…that should have never made it out of the Cold War.”
Skyfall
“These are complex characters…plumbing depths never before visited in any Bond adventure.”
Wreck-It Ralph
“Goes for the high score with a heartfelt, laugh-filled story to match its nostalgia-fueled visual palette.”
Alex Cross
“Tyler Perry tries his best, but the humdrum script and murky direction do him no favors.”
Sinister
“Once the threat is identified as a demon…the rest of the film becomes a giant shrug.”
Frankenweenie
“Does a pretty good job of washing away the recent stink of things like ‘Dark Shadows.'”
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“Has the vibe of a sad rock song. It feels like its speaking only to you.”
Trouble with the Curve
“Both the baseball and relationship elements are as well-worn as an old little league glove.”
For a Good Time, Call…
“Shaky first act…but when the girls’ phone sex business takes off, so does the movie.”
