  • Beyond The Black Rainbow

    "...fascinating and frustrating."

    December 11, 2012 10:59
  • Answers To Nothing

    “…ultimately sinks under the weight of its own elaborate structure.”

    December 11, 2012 10:48
  • Bellflower

    "...a compelling thriller..."

    December 11, 2012 10:27
  • A Christmas Kiss

    "A ridiculously formulaic romantic comedy..."

    December 11, 2012 09:40
  • Liberal Arts

    A genuine charmer that transcends its self-conscious moments largely thanks to its heartfelt performances and screenplay.

    December 10, 2012 11:13
  • Love Is All You Need

    One big, painful cliche of a film that’s even more disappointing given the writing/directing talent at its helm.

    December 10, 2012 11:06
  • Rise Of The Guardians

    An overly familiar but enjoyable family flick that largely benefits from its stellar voice cast and visuals.

    December 8, 2012 12:54
  • Paris Manhattan

    It’s a romantic comedy that succeeds more in the comedic than romantic stakes, but it’s breezy and charming in the best way possible.

    December 7, 2012 17:31
  • 360

    “...weighed down by its own self-seriousness...”

    December 5, 2012 16:50
  • Total Recall

    “...a predictably unmoving piece of popcorn sci-fi.”

    December 5, 2012 16:45
  • Killer Joe

    “...constantly overshoots the mark...”

    December 5, 2012 16:44
  • What About Dick?

    "...classic innuendo, solid songs and supreme silliness.

    December 5, 2012 15:57
  • Method To The Madness Of Jerry Lewis

    ”...convincing..."

    December 5, 2012 15:49
  • Matt Okine: Being Black N Chicken N Shit

    “Matt’s hilarious autobiographical routines carry a serious and touching theme…”

    December 5, 2012 15:40
  • Pitch Perfect

    It’s formulaic, but it conjures up its own offbeat vibe and the musical numbers are gold.

    December 4, 2012 12:01
  • The Man With The Iron Fists

    Given the talent on board, this registers as a disappointment, but even with the clunky dialogue and subpar fight scenes, it’s watchable fun.

    December 4, 2012 11:57
  • Trouble With The Curve

    A classy old school character drama that dips into sentimentality in its final stages, but remains first-rate in every other aspect.

    December 4, 2012 11:53
  • Love Story

    It’s stylistically inspired, and though the premise feels a tad stretched over the space of a feature, it’s warm, witty and packed with heart.

    December 4, 2012 11:50
  • American Mary

    Their cinematic influences may be clear, but The Soska Sisters reveal a brilliantly twisted style all of their own in this female-centric spine-chiller.

    November 26, 2012 12:58
  • The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

    A stellar adaptation and a beautifully crafted coming-of-age tale that comes wrapped in all the promise and possibility of adolescence.
