The Raid 2 (2014) Ethan Alter It brings me no great pleasure to report that the The Raid 2 is to The Raid as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was to the first Transformers: it's longer, flashier and bloated well past the point of tedium.

Le Week-End (2013) Ethan Alter
Posted Mar 14, 2014
Bad Words (2014) Ethan Alter Bad Words gets squishy and sentimental as it approaches its endgame, operating on the mistaken assumption that it needs to explain its anti-hero's pathology and, thus, let him off the hook for his behavior.

Veronica Mars (2014) Ethan Alter Even though I enjoyed watching an older Mars reacquaint herself with Neptune, no small amount of disappointment set in as I realized Thomas was guiding the proceedings to an ending that would reinforce the series' status quo.

Labor Day (2013) Ethan Alter I'd like to think that one day, Reitman will be able to look back at this film and laugh at his mistakes and miscalculations. For now, we'll just have to do the laughing for him.

12 O'Clock Boys (2013) Ethan Alter That Nathan is able to cover so much ground in a mere 76 minutes makes 12 O'Clock Boys all the more remarkable and essential.
Posted Jan 31, 2014
Stranger by the Lake (2013) Ethan Alter Though it'll be confined to the art house circuit, Stranger By the Lake actually has all the ingredients of a mainstream, page-turning summer beach read.
Posted Jan 24, 2014

Posted Dec 18, 2013
The Sound Of Music Live! (2013) Ethan Alter Seeing The Sound of Music on DVD minus the live element (and its driving, hate watch-fueled Twitter traffic) makes it seem like an even bigger mess.
