Eye in the Sky movie review: in the eyes of 21st-century warriors
As entertaining on an escapist level as it is irrefutably engaging on a level that is essential for citizens who are players in our political environment.

Triple 9 movie review: ordinary criminals
How did a genre-smashing director make a heist thriller so generic, with characters too unlikable to be engaging but not twisted enough to be intriguing?
Fathers & Daughters movie review: fit to be family tied
It’s all rather implausible and hugely melodramatic as it milks ham-fisted histrionics from high soap opera. A pitiable excuse for a movie.
Exodus: Gods and Kings movie review: whites only
Simultaneously the dullest and the most insulting version of itself it could possibly be. If only it had managed to be campy, that’d be something…

It shouldn’t work, but it does, as wonderfully sardonic British humor and as a reminder that you’re not alone in being messed up in this insane world.
Need for Speed review: might as well be based on a breakfast cereal
Thinks it’s poetical and epic, and the more dramatic it thinks it’s being, the more hilariously histrionic it all is.
Smashed (review)
It’s the other alchoholic-gets-a-wakeup-call movie of 2012, though Smashed is a lot less flashy than Flight…
The Last House on the Left (review)
Actually worse than all the other horror flicks of recent vintage that assume that the audience is a vicarious sexual sadist.
