Rembrandt's J'Accuse (2008) 100% 3.5/5 “What starts out as an audaciously polemical, radically inventive film project ultimately feels more like the most elaborate and earnest art history lecture ever delivered.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Into the Abyss (2011) 92% “Werner Herzog has a well-deserved reputation for tackling difficult, risky subjects. It took courage to enter the Lone Star State and wade into the mire of capital punishment.” – America Magazine Aug 4, 2015 Full Review The Imitation Game (2014) 90% “Cumberbatch brings his immense talent and intelligence -- and not too much glamour -- to the socially awkward, notoriously disheveled protagonist.” – America Magazine Jan 6, 2015 Full Review Ivory Tower (2014) 84% “All in all, Ivory Tower is balanced and comprehensive.” – America Magazine Jan 6, 2015 Full Review 12 Years a Slave (2013) 95% “Ejiofor's low-key, naturalistic acting mode is ideal for conveying Northup's self-control and intelligence. And Fassbender avoids turning the malevolent Epps into a one-note nemesis.” – America Magazine Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Copperhead (2013) 21% “Maxwell and Kauffman merit praise for acknowledging historical complexity, but the film's moral and aesthetic limitations keep Copperhead from entering this realm.” – America Magazine Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2011) 68% “Intense and imagistic, sensual and rather salacious, this is a wild, fascinatingly bleak adaptation that seizes on the book's more lurid motifs.” – America Magazine Apr 28, 2014 Full Review The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) 92% “Watching Wes Anderson quietly and unsentimentally make Zero the hero of The Grand Budapest Hotel should win over some of the director's detractors.” – America Magazine Apr 28, 2014 Full Review The Oranges (2011) 31% “There's not enough tension for the humor to diffuse. What we're left with is a bland dramedy featuring a strong cast.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Oct 5, 2012 Full Review El Bulli: Cooking in Progress (2010) 60% 3/5 “You can't help but appreciate the food's visual beauty -- and the physical, mental and emotional energy that went into creating it -- but you don't come away feeling you have to taste any of Adri's food before you die.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 29, 2011 Full Review The Best and the Brightest (2010) 26% 1.5/5 “Strictly bush league, save for a few bravura performances.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 21, 2011 Full Review Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer (2011) 22% 2/5 “This ho-hum offshoot of Megan McDonald's book series earns negative "thrill points" as it chronicles the mirthless backyard shenanigans of a suburban Pippi Longstocking.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 7, 2011 Full Review The Hangover Part II (2011) 34% 2.5/5 “Its sense of fun-loving camaraderie feels forced and tinged with buzz-killing danger.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 24, 2011 Full Review The First Grader (2010) 62% 2.5/5 “Guilt and glossiness form the foundation of the slick production, which, despite the best intentions of all those working under director Justin Chadwick, exudes a mildly patronizing vapor that dampens the emotional affect and any historical incisiveness.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 14, 2011 Full Review Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) 96% 3.5/5 “Is any filmmaker more comfortable moving between the didactic and the lyrical, between quotidian facts and profound speculation?” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 26, 2011 Full Review Footprints (2009) 41% 0.5/5 “The barely coherent Footprints seems bent on erasing any nostalgia one might have for Hollywood's heyday.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 12, 2011 Full Review Jane Eyre (2011) 85% 3.5/5 “Cary Joji Fukunaga's romantic thriller Jane Eyre is to19th-century literature what Black Swan is to ballet: a thoroughly cinematic, occasionally exhilarating reimagining of a repertoire standard.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 10, 2011 Full Review We Are What We Are (2010) 72% 2/5 “We Are What We Are is a superficially provocative movie that tries way too hard to be memorable.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 19, 2011 Full Review Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011) 5% 0.5/5 “Big Momma has laid a gigantic egg.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 19, 2011 Full Review Carancho (2010) 88% 3/5 “Without resorting to sensationalism, gratuitous gore, false spirituality, or any extraneous artificiality, Trapero has fashioned an emotionally involving picture.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 15, 2011 Full Review The Roommate (2011) 3% 1.5/5 “What's most memorable about this plodding thriller are the copious amounts of foundation and lip gloss.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 4, 2011 Full Review Ward No. 6 (2009) 67% 3/5 “The movie's profundity shines through because it gestures at something that might counter its aura of futility and despair.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Con Artist (2009) 100% 3/5 “[Director Michael Sladek] lets Kostabi hang himself and the auto-execution is fully effected about halfway through.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 19, 2010 Full Review Today's Special (2009) 81% 2/5 “Those with even modestly adventuresome cinematic palates will have their appetites whetted before exiting unsatisfied.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 19, 2010 Full Review Due Date (2010) 39% 2.5/5 “With its premise so easily established, Due Date is able to be modestly raucous as well as character-driven, which is how it goes astray since it tries to evoke complex moods and feelings that are beyond its ken.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 5, 2010 Full Review
