That Awkward Moment
“Unpolished. The script is formulaic and the conversations feel unnatural and forced.”
The Invisible Woman
“Their romance never quite hits a fever pitch and the most affecting scenes come as consequences.”
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
“Chris Pine carries ‘Jack Ryan’ with an ability that could prove profitable for future films.”
August: Osage County
“The film gets by based on the strength of its acting, especially Julia Roberts.”
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
“Ambitious…but nothing can save a screenplay lacking grace.”
American Hustle
“Appears to have the intention of being something grander and more clever than what it actually is.”
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
“Stretches itself too thin making it easy for interest to dwindle.”
Out of the Furnace
“Lack of a narrative focus is one of the reasons the film fails from a storytelling perspective.”
The Book Thief
“The film builds and then, without warning, deflates in a series of false endings and overly-dramatic beats.”
Delivery Man
“It’s nice to see Vaughn branch out and try a new role, but ultimately the film can’t get out of neutral.”
The Fifth Estate
“The details of the sources of the leaks are fascinating topics that this film merely glosses over.”
Still Mine
“The film clearly serves as a platform for Cromwell’s performance, which is quite strong.”
