    The actual performances during the film range from excellent to somewhat amateurish, but this amateurism is easily absorbed by the sheer power of the imagery on display.
  1. Most appealing is the film’s mixture of California post-War history, cults and a tinge of science fiction — an intriguing combination of elements that make it a winner.
  2. The Beach Bum is not a terrible movie. The directing is competent, the score is excellent, and the cast is game and hilarious. However, considering who was at the helm, it is not focused enough and winds up with nothing to say.
  3. Rich with compelling, often heartbreaking stories.
  4. In Monuments, the comedy outweighs the drama, for better and worse. For better because Sullivan is an engaging comedic presence, at once gawky, twitterpated, and restless. For worse, because the ending does not have nearly as much emotional effect as it probably should.
  5. Beautifully produced but emotionally vacant drama.
  6. It may not be great but you're guaranteed to feel great walking out the theater door.

    Olympic Dreams offers a little love in a fantastic location.

    A lyrical poem to the lost places in our past and our heritage.
  7. Despite the many things it does right, atmosphere and casting, mostly, it doesn’t give you any reason to remember it.
  8. Even if this doesn’t wind up being your favorite version of the film, it’s worth seeing Fennell’s updated take.

    It’s all about the action. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare may be forgettable in the long run of Guy Ritchie movies, but it’s fun.
  9. Fans of A Christmas Story, and those simply in the mood for a holiday flick, will enjoy A Christmas Story Christmas for the light, nicely touching tale that it is in its own right, without the pressure of having to be as perfect as something as legendary as the leg lamp.
  10. Hathaway's exuberance and dramatic range are fitting for this portrayal of the celebrated literary figure.

    A great film because of it's realism and the ability to show viewers a world that exists even today, but not everyone knows about.
  11. None of the characters feel real, necessarily, but they’re all immensely watchable in their own right.
  12. A little bit of screwball comedy and a lot of film noir, add a dash of suspense-drama, and half a dozen card tricks too, then you have the recipe for making The Brothers Bloom.

    It is great to see a boxing movie that portrays both boxing and Jackson in different lights.
  13. Beast Beast captures the high school experience like lightning in a bottle.
  14. Old
    The actors do what they can, but even the talent assembled here can’t help getting swallowed up in the Shyamalan vortex of nonsense.
  15. The Garden Left Behind is an amazing drama filled to the brim with realistic and heavy performances that will absolutely leave a lasting impression and subject matter that should more commonly be explored and celebrated. This film is special, and it deserves mass audience attention.
  16. This is the kind of film you can watch over and over again on several levels, especially as you mine the script for knowing jokes about the theatre (it's packed with them).
  17. A beautifully crafted documentary.
  18. Two things come to mind as you watch the first act of Street Kings, the first is how fresh and exciting the movie would’ve been if it was released in 1984, the second is the question, “James Ellroy wrote that?”

    What Richard Curtis brilliantly does with this well-worn storyline is bring in elements to make it feel fresh.
  19. This is innocuous, pop entertainment and, taken on those grounds, it does the job just fine.

    Much like the rides at the carnival, Whistle delivers heady highs and some disconcerting lows, sometimes within the same scene. It’s a film with flashes of imagination and nostalgia that suggest something brighter lurking beneath the surface. Much like the whistle itself, it delivers on what it promises, and the noise it makes is hard to ignore.

    There were many aspects from a filmmaking and storytelling process that I found admirable, but I just can’t see myself recommending it. I know all too well that my criticisms have everything to do with the very core of J.M. Barrie’s original story and Pan mythology itself.

    It’s a great story. I’ve read books on the subject and have found it fascinating. But even reading Mandela and Desmond Tutu will not prepare you for the barrage of information Endgame throws at you.
  20. The filmmaker plays with our assumptions around justice and race. While A Lot of Nothing uses elements ripped from the headlines, in this context, what you expect to come from it will say more about you than it does the script. The revelation of the final act changes everything that has gone before. Hang onto the edge of your seat for a wickedly entertaining ride.
