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“Subject matter is outdated…and seemingly weaning in popularity.”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.”
Snitch
“Throughout the film, the messages are mixed and the plot details are often flimsy.”
Safe Haven
“Nonsensical….Turns out to form one of the dumbest endings to a film in recent memory.”
Identity Thief
“Digs for cheap, lazy laughs rooted in a woman of Melissa McCarthy’s size doing physical acts.”
Rust and Bone
“Director Audiard brings his very unique style and elevates everything from the screenplay forward.”
The Last Stand
“While Arnold Schwarzenegger’s presence is entertaining, the story just isn’t interesting enough.”
Zero Dark Thirty
“Outstandingly acted, thoroughly cohesive and profoundly intriguing…Best film of 2012.”
Not Fade Away
“A film marred with undeveloped plot lines, choppy editing and a serious lack of direction.”
Jack Reacher
“The film never quite takes off and ascends above typical crime thriller material.”
