Poltergeist
“Feels less like a retread of the original and more like a cheap copy of the dozens of films that followed it.”
Better Living Through Chemistry
“Few of the secondary characters give Sam Rockwell much support.”
The Way, Way Back

Seven Psychopaths
“Great chemistry…A unique, unapologetic, filthy and darkly funny movie experience.”
Conviction
“Only somewhat successful in adapting a story ripped straight from the headlines.”
Iron Man 2
“It works well with enough action sequences, fight scenes and some interesting characters.”
Everybody’s Fine
“Manages to pluck enough heartstrings without becoming cloying.”
G-Force
“A pointless script that relies on stale pop-culture references kids won’t understand.”
