    Return
    Johnson's feel for the rhythms of reconnection are steady, and she and her fine actors make Return one of only a handful of films to honestly address what to many is heartbreaking reality.

    Lbs.
    That truthfulness, along with the movie's emotional honesty and narrative polish, help tag this NY-grown indie as one to seek out.

    Splinters
    A cool documentary that pivots adroitly between viewpoints and ambitions.

    A Perfect Getaway
    The result isn't deadly dull, but it does turn what should have been a most dangerous game into a basic scenery-chewing contest.

    The Lincoln Lawyer
    There's a reason potboiler paperbacks don't make good movies - there's too much outlandish plot, even for Hollywood.

    A Cat in Paris
    The charmless but harmless A Cat in Paris hits theaters yet doesn't enchant.

    The Other Son
    This beautifully photographed drama is well-played throughout with great conscience without becoming heavy-handed.

    Out of the Furnace
    Like “The Deer Hunter” — from which it swipes its Keystone State milieu, its haunted veterans, and its self-endangerment metaphor — Out of the Furnace gets under your skin.

    The Last Exorcism
    The Last Exorcism trods on previously stomped ground and has almost no good jump-outta-your-seat moments.

    Vidal Sassoon: The Movie
    This rather elegant movie, like a bold new 'do, is both not what you'd expect and exactly what you feared.

    Howl
    A movie with no clear narrative. It pushes boundaries and feels like one man's fever dream. But all those traits would certainly make Allen Ginsberg happy.

    The Hunter
    The idea of Willem Dafoe, one of our most watchable actors, playing a man stalking a thought-to-be-extinct animal in the wild is gripping in theory. In execution, however, The Hunter loses its way.

    Hot Tub Time Machine
    In Rob Corddry's hilariously manic turn, it has the most memorable showcase for a goofball co-star since Michael Keaton in 1981's "Night Shift."

    Simon Killer
    Sort of “An American Psycho’s European Vacation,” this indie dramatic thriller mixes sex and violence and still winds up dull.

    The Summit
    Interviews with survivors fill us in on the personalities of the lost, but the background of K2, with archival footage from 1954, is equally gripping.

    Rob the Mob
    The movie winds up being a real standup flick, if you know what I mean.

    Green Zone
    The cast is strong, and Damon is a dependable center for all this, a classic American good guy wanting to know what's rotten and why.

    Spring Breakers
    So often not in his element — his turn in “Oz the Great and Powerful” is evidence of that — Franco is in freako mode here, and walks a line between spaced-out caricature and just plain Out There.

    Rio
    The main reason this gorgeous-looking, sweet-hearted but so-so movie remains grounded is a herky-jerky, cobbled-together story that squawks when it should sing.

    Eden
    This domestic drama from the producers of "Once" could be about the pair from that gentle romance - a decade later.

    World War Z
    It is no summer thriller. It’s an anemic actioner that fosters excitement like dead limbs as it lumbers toward a conclusion.

    Aurora
    Maddeningly mundane, this Romanian drama aims for an antiseptic look at random violence and, unfortunately, achieves it.

    Megamind
    Plays out like a clunky, not-so-incredible "Incredibles," or a more-despicable "Despicable Me."
