The Dark Knight Rises
“Feels epic…but this final chapter doesn’t necessarily reach its full potential.”
The Amazing Spider-Man
“Average reboot of the series that offers slight tweaks but never commands the mythology as its own.”
Ted
“Seems to understand a feature film needs more substance than a 30-minute TV show can provide.”
Brave
“Isn’t what you’d expect from a studio whose focus has always been great storytelling.”
Hysteria
“Give the film credit for livening up the era, but by not saying much it’s really a missed opportunity.”
Darling Companion
“Filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan’s futile foray back onto the big screen after almost a decade.”
Sound of My Voice
“Actress Brit Marling is the strongest asset of an otherwise indecisive and transparent film.”
Undefeated
“The film’s strength lies within the young men who step onto the gridiron with pride and determination.”
Girl in Progress
“Cliché…there aren’t any scenes of insight or ambition except on an artificial level.”
The Avengers
“Watching Thor’s hammer slam down onto Captain America’s shield is the stuff of epic wonder.”
Damsels in Distress
“Smart-alecky…like its cast of female talent, the film never realizes it’s full potential.”
Footnote
“A smartly-written dark dramedy that brims with real human emotion and subtle humor.”
