The Bling Ring
“Aims for uncomplicated themes and sidesteps anything with real meaning.”
This is the End
“The laughs are relatively steady throughout the film, though there is a lull towards the middle and end.”

“It’s loud, completely brain-dead and…sets new levels for absurdity in its action sequences.”
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
“Not enough substance to stand alone as a strong political thriller.”
Jim Norton – comedian
“I have zero respect for the people offended by comedy or want to have comedy ‘taken to task.’ Zero respect.”
Trance
“Eventually collapses on itself after an exhausting series of underwhelming twists.”
West of Memphis
“From a directorial perspective, it provides a more cinematic experience than ‘Paradise Lost.'”
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
“Subject matter is outdated…and seemingly weaning in popularity.”
Emperor
“Wooden and uninspired…the investigation of war crimes unfolds in a way that is absent of tension.”
Jack the Giant Slayer
“The CGI giants are pretty good, but the noisy finish can’t make up for the film’s overall mediocrity.”
