The hope is that Ahmed's laughter tour breeds some levity in a location in which reality is often a little too 'real.'” – Movie Marker Magazine Jun 9, 2011 Full Review Hunger (2008) 90% 9.8/10 “The film's beauty and brutality appoints McQueen and his leading charge to all must-watch lists. The most deserved work of 2008, it simply must be experienced by any for whom the cinema is a purveyor of discourse.” – Movie Marker Magazine May 13, 2011 Full Review Scream 4 (2011) 60% 7/10 “Scream 4 knows what it is and doesn't create pretense around its efforts. The opening elicits laughter sure to summon the start of summer with a sense of playful slicing.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 13, 2011 Full Review The Loved Ones (2009) 98% 8.4/10 “Delivering what is sure to be a cult favorite, Byrne paces the film's plot points with the poise of a professional, and the result is a brilliant balance of horror, humor, schlock and shtick.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Defendor (2009) 72% 6/10 “Despite the film's simplicities and the stereotypes inherent in any superhero flick, the pure intentions of the characters enable the audience to rally around the child-like vigilante.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Dorian Gray (2009) 43% 3.8/10 “Dorian Gray doesn't move the audience to empathize with any of its characters and, therefore, lacks the emotional investment necessary to engage.” – Movie Marker Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Balibo (2009) 100% 7/10 “The immediate impact the film has had on a case that's been languishing beneath bureaucracy since the mid 1970s is nothing short of a miracle.” – Movie Marker Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Blessed (2009) 91% 7.5/10 “The film is gut-wrenching in its honesty, and, while its score might be a touch overwrought, the performances secure the picture's absolute integrity as a work of art.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review 12th & Delaware (2010) 7.2/10 “Ewing and Grady keep their opinions, personalities and presence absolutely absent from the documentary, allowing the voices of the subjects to represent both sides of the issues at hand.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Waiting for Superman (2010) 89% 9.5/10 “Superman seems set to start schooling audiences nationwide. Just as The Cove began its Oscar run at Sundance, Guggenheim's tour de force demands similar grades.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child (2010) 86% 9.8 “This poignant commentary reveals much about Basquiat's persona that hasn't before been witnessed. By landing us in the times his life was led, Davis has crafted a masterpiece.” – Movie Marker Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Enemies of the People (2009) 100% 9/10 “The slow, painful truth is fully revealed in this burning documentary crafted courageously by Sambath and his co-director Lemkin.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review Bran Nue Dae (2009) 56% 6.2/10 “Even as Bran Nue Dae raises serious indigenous issues - deaths in police custody, land grabs, alcoholism - it never becomes inaccessible to the audience.” – Moving Pictures Magazine May 12, 2011 Full Review
