Smart People
“A cleverly-written little picture that will probably slide under the radar unless your part of the indie house crowd.”
Street Kings
“[Director] Ayer’s lands some solid punches with the boys in blue, but doesn’t give us enough depth from the main and supporting characters.”
The Ruins
“The traumatic scenes of fear are effective for the genre and with most of the characters spending their time in utter shock.”
Leatherheads
“Gawky at times, but never fumbles. It’s an entertaining take in the world of sports most of us have probably only seen on black and white photos.”
Married Life
“Although the acting is top-notch in this intelligent albeit soft-around-the-edges drama, one can’t ignore the tediousness that lingers between the characters’ separate stories.”
21
“Predictable and cliché from the rise and fall of the main hero to the obvious plot twists and payoff.”
Stop Loss
“An interesting story touted in a most uninteresting way…a sluggish foot chase mended together by Hollywood.”
Shutter
“A weak addition to the genre that should be discarded as fast as the click of a point-and-shoot.”
Under the Same Moon
“it is amazing to see the courage and distinctive style [director] Riggen has injected into the film.”
Funny Games
“A long, well-planned out experimental project that is attention-grabbing but ultimately meaningless.”
Horton Hears a Who
“Offers up great voice work by Carrey, Carell, and others and keeps the pop culture references at a acceptable level.”
Never Back Down
“Without a rational narrative we can only endure so much of the so-so fight scenes.”
