Nebraska (2013) 90% B “One of Payne's better films.” – Film Blather Sep 2, 2013 Full Review Gravity (2013) 96% B- “'Gravity' tries so hard to add emotional heft to its simple survival story, but its attempts are labored, unconvincing, and frankly downright dumb. This gorgeous, exciting film didn't need them.” – Film Blather Sep 1, 2013 Full Review 12 Years a Slave (2013) 95% B “A more conventional effort than 'Hunger' or 'Shame,' but it's every bit as searing and tough-minded, and hardly less challenging.” – Film Blather Sep 1, 2013 Full Review All Is Lost (2013) 95% B+ “All the drama we need is in the moment, and that's where the movie stays.” – Film Blather Aug 31, 2013 Full Review Under the Skin (2013) 83% A- “What we used to call a 'visionary achievement' -- mesmerizing nightmare fuel in the vein of vintage Cronenberg, with the same sleek, disorienting gloss that Glazer put on his extraordinary 'Birth.'” – Film Blather Aug 31, 2013 Full Review Starred Up (2013) 99% B- “This isn't Mackenzie's most interesting work, but you could do much worse for an issue movie.” – Film Blather Aug 30, 2013 Full Review Labor Day (2013) 34% C+ “Reitman feels the need to amp up the drama, and unloads a honking dump of backstory that's contrived and maudlin in a mode that I had thought was the exclusive province of Nicholas Sparks.” – Film Blather Aug 30, 2013 Full Review 2 Guns (2013) 64% B “In a summer of lumbering, unwieldy blockbusters sanitized and sucked free of nuance for consumption in China, it's a lively, quirky, lived-in delight.” – Film Blather Aug 2, 2013 Full Review At Any Price (2012) 52% B+ “Though Bahrani may be moving toward the mainstream here, he remains an empathetic, nuanced chronicler of the American working class.” – Film Blather Jul 24, 2013 Full Review Pacific Rim (2013) 72% C+ “Why did this consummate labor of love have to be so dumb - so clunky and hollow and poorly-acted? Why does it feel so incomplete?” – Film Blather Jul 12, 2013 Full Review Man of Steel (2013) 57% B- “Look, this is an often-stunning event film. It's big and bold, with a scope and scale that's virtually unparalleled in the genre. But so much of that work is squandered on stuff that doesn't matter.” – Film Blather Jun 13, 2013 Full Review The Kings of Summer (2013) 77% B- “Knows how to be funny, but it can also be a bit too studiedly random, e.g. in generating Biaggio's vaguely creepy non sequiturs and in indulging long digressions about giant wontons and avocado meat.” – Film Blather Jun 1, 2013 Full Review What Maisie Knew (2012) 86% B “An almost uncomfortably plausible depiction of the effects of bad parenting on a fragile psyche.” – Film Blather May 25, 2013 Full Review Fast & Furious 6 (2013) 71% C “The set-up here is so sparse it almost plays as a joke, a sneer at the notion that a film with this many car crashes could need something so snobbish as a story.” – Film Blather May 24, 2013 Full Review Pain & Gain (2013) 49% D “The film is so inept and hateful that asking what it thinks about anything seems like dividing by zero.” – Film Blather Apr 26, 2013 Full Review Oblivion (2013) 53% C “If Kosinski wants to keep making these elaborate techno-dystopias, I'm down. But he needs to find a better framework for his visual ideas.” – Film Blather Apr 19, 2013 Full Review 42 (2013) 80% C+ “'42' won't teach you a thing, but for a film that couldn't have been very good, it's not bad.” – Film Blather Apr 12, 2013 Full Review The Host (2013) 10% D “An alien invasion movie that consists of Saoirse Ronan and Disembodied Voice of Saoirse Ronan arguing with each other over whether and when and with whom the body of Saoirse Ronan should get it on.” – Film Blather Mar 29, 2013 Full Review The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) 79% B+ “Try to imagine 'Crash' as written and directed by James Gray and you might come close to conceptualizing this beguiling film.” – Film Blather Mar 29, 2013 Full Review The Lords of Salem (2012) 47% C+ “One alluring thing about Zombie is that it's hard to know how much of all this is a put-on. I spent a lot of time squinting at it, which is more fun than being bored.” – Film Blather Mar 13, 2013 Full Review Mud (2013) 97% A “So good - so incredibly good; a classic in the making - that I promise you won't miss the metaphor and abstraction of 'Take Shelter'.” – Film Blather Mar 10, 2013 Full Review Haunter (2013) 49% B “The biggest pleasures here come from how thought-through and rigorous this weird little universe is; how Natali and King commit fully to their story and follow it through to a satisfying conclusion.” – Film Blather Mar 10, 2013 Full Review Prince Avalanche (2013) 82% B “David Gordon Green seems to have found a happy medium between the laid-back sincerity of his earlier work and the puerile stoner comedy he's favored since 'Pineapple Express'.” – Film Blather Mar 10, 2013 Full Review Cheap Thrills (2013) 87% B “There's no big twist here, but the film's sustained thoughtfulness is as surprising as any plot development.” – Film Blather Mar 9, 2013 Full Review Evil Dead (2013) 63% B- “It's a tremendous technical achievement.” – Film Blather Mar 9, 2013 Full Review
