Olympus Has Fallen mini review
A vile propagandistic action flick that shamelessly indulges fears of terrorism while also failing on a basic narrative level.
suspense/thriller
The Conjuring review: they make me believe
Smart, stylish horror flick, though a standout more for its elegant performances than any original scares.
Europa Report review: quest for fire (of knowledge)
I didn’t think we were making movies like this anymore. Very near future. Hard science. Nothing fantastical. Space geekery galore, gorgeous and authentic.
Now You See Me review: popcorn with glitter on top
Most of it makes no sense at all, but who cares? This is cheerful ridiculousness pulled off with panache.
The East review: content to be a mosquito when it could have been a black widow
Brit Marling never knows what to do with her great ideas. She runs them right up to a moment when all that electric potential zaps itself out of existence in a flash.
World War Z review: mutated Hollywood ebola
Has no guts of any kind: it has absolutely nothing to say, and it takes a long, dull, circuitous route to get to that nothing.
Paul Walker is an idiot abroad (Vehicle 19 review)
OMG, is this supposed to be this funny?
feel the rush of endorkins (Star Trek Into Darkness review)
A Star Trek for our times. Very much for our times. Which means there’s little hope to be found here…
Oblivion movie review: Jetsons parody or Ikea commercial?
Postcard-pretty, unusual for a science fiction flick, but shockingly derivative.
please can Derek Cianfrance not get sucked up by the Hollywood machine (The Place Beyond the Pines review)
My heart is so heavy after this film. So heavy with this film.
