The Call
“Just plain works. A last-second plot zigzag gives the ending a weirdly satisfying kick.”
A Place at the Table
“It’s a slap to the head of viewers who are unaware that hunger is not only a third-world issue.”
Oz the Great and Powerful
“Screenplay lumbers under the weight of too much exposition and corporate interference.”
Dead Man Down
“It’s unfortunate Oplev’s foray into the American film industry had to start with such a whimper.”
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.”
Bless Me, Ultima
“It’s a commendable attempt, but one that ultimately falls short under the scope of the story.”
Beautiful Creatures
“Turns the film from a juicier, southern-fried ‘Twilight’ into an overstuffed meal.”
Safe Haven
“Nonsensical….Turns out to form one of the dumbest endings to a film in recent memory.”
Warm Bodies
“A zombie romantic comedy at a loss for believable plot devices and consistent laughs.”
The Last Stand
“While Arnold Schwarzenegger’s presence is entertaining, the story just isn’t interesting enough.”
