The Woman in Black
“Slumps back into conventional storytelling and does so in the most monotonous fashion.”
The Grey
“A surprisingly thoughtful thriller with a lot more to say than most man vs. Mother Nature survival stories.”
Albert Nobbs
“The script cuts corners when attempting to expand on the emotional agony Albert endures.”
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
“Meaningless…a forced tearjerker that can’t wrap up soon enough.”
Shame
“Fassbender nails the role with unflinching confidence. It’s impossible to turn away from it.”
Carnage
“Starts off effortlessly enough before diving into a diatribe of irritating proportions.”
The Iron Lady
“Streep immerses herself inside her character with attention paid to the faintest of details.”
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
“A complex and sometimes confusing Cold War thriller that might require a few viewings.”
Young Adult
“Charlize Theron embraces role with a remarkable combination of resentment, hostility, and self-hatred.”
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
“Most mature movement of David Fincher’s serial-killer symphony.”
New Year’s Eve
“There’s no need to subject yourself to the same humdrum narrative pattern as ‘Valentine’s Day’.”
The Muppets
“In many ways, the film is both a charming return to form and a surprising letdown.”
