Beyond the Lights (2014) 83% 2.5/4 “The basic elements are very much like "The Bodyguard" and countless dangerous-rise-to-fame movies. The originality lies in the details, up-to-date themes and the strong performances of the relatively young lead actors.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 13, 2014 Full Review Men, Women & Children (2014) 33% 2.5/4 “Maybe if Reitman was making this point with a single, layered story, my heart could have been engaged even as my head was saying, "No kidding."” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 16, 2014 Full Review The Book of Life (2014) 83% 3/4 “Saying that the visuals outshine the story in an animated feature is not usually good news, but when the animation is as original and stunning as that in "The Book of Life," the result is well worth seeing.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 16, 2014 Full Review This Is Where I Leave You (2014) 44% 2.5/4 “While the relatively leisurely pace of a novel offers readers the time to appreciate each character's story, the film is so rushed that only Bateman's character comes close to being satisfyingly explored.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 18, 2014 Full Review The Drop (2014) 88% 3/4 “The movie belongs to Tom Hardy.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 11, 2014 Full Review The November Man (2014) 35% 2/4 “For someone who once played James Bond, you'd think Pierce Brosnan would have better instincts when choosing another spy thriller.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 27, 2014 Full Review The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014) 69% 3/4 “The movie offers no colorful villains, no sharp turns or surprises, little drama, chuckles instead of laughs, and a somewhat pokey and predictable plot. And I enjoyed every minute of it.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 7, 2014 Full Review Sex Tape (2014) 16% 2/4 “There are some funny moments, but the former "Bad Teacher" co-stars are surprisingly chemistry-free.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Think Like a Man Too (2014) 23% 2.5/4 “"Think Like a Man Too" is even less substantial than the original, but funnier in a manic, glitzy way befitting its Vegas setting.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 19, 2014 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) 92% 3/4 “"How to Train Your Dragon 2" succeeds because it builds on, but doesn't try to replicate, the magic of the first movie.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 12, 2014 Full Review Maleficent (2014) 54% 2.5/4 “Fleshing out one of Disney's quintessential villains is an intriguing idea. But, while "Maleficent" teases at the premise's potential, it never quite sustains the magic.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 29, 2014 Full Review Neighbors (2014) 72% 2.5/4 “Many scenes in "Neighbors" are genuinely funny; others are really gross. Many are both. But in the end, the movie's tone and humor are pretty uneven.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 8, 2014 Full Review Oculus (2013) 75% 3/4 “I don't have much time to write this review, because after seeing "Oculus" I need to cover every mirror in the house before I go to bed.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 10, 2014 Full Review Muppets Most Wanted (2014) 80% 2.5/4 “Doesn't quite capture the surprise magic of the last effort, but it's still a lot of fun.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Non-Stop (2014) 62% 2.5/4 “The action is, as advertised, nonstop, and well-paced throughout. There are a number of exciting action sequences, and the suspense never flags.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Labor Day (2013) 34% 2.5/4 “Both too much and not enough.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 30, 2014 Full Review The Nut Job (2014) 13% 2.5/4 “Fun, but ultimately not really satisfying.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 16, 2014 Full Review Frozen (2013) 89% 3.5/4 “Full of clever songs, genuine laughs and thrills, plenty of heart and just a touch of romance, [Frozen] definitely holds its own with the likes of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Delivery Man (2013) 40% 2.5/4 “If the movie had embraced its farcical side, I would have been happy to roll with it. But every time it tried to be serious, it revealed lapses of logic that I couldn't get past.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 21, 2013 Full Review About Time (2013) 71% 3/4 “In addition to its sharp/sweet dialogue, the movie's success rests with the radiant dorkiness of leads Gleeson and McAdams, as well as the quirky supporting cast.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 7, 2013 Full Review Free Birds (2013) 20% 2.5/4 “While what may be the first-ever major Thanksgiving-themed animated feature is fun for kids and witty enough for some adult giggles, I was slightly underwhelmed.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 31, 2013 Full Review The Fifth Estate (2013) 35% 2.5/4 “Warts and all, the movie definitely succeeds in engaging its audience.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 17, 2013 Full Review Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) 72% 3/4 “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 captures the goofy fun of the first course, while offering some completely original giggles.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 14, 2013 Full Review Don Jon (2013) 80% 3/4 “In the end, "Don Jon" offers the promise of progress without pat answers. It also offers the promise of the future work of an undeniably talented actor-turned-director.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 26, 2013 Full Review Getaway (2013) 3% 1.5/4 “As a moviegoer, I am not against car chases, but I generally like some movie wrapped around them.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 29, 2013 Full Review
