Texas Chainsaw 3D Movie Review | |
The original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" leaves audiences feeling hollowed out, dispirited and dissolute. "Texas Chainsaw 3D" is simply a bummer for being a big nothing. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times As pointless as one feared it might be. Nigel Floyd-Time Out Alexandra Daddario, playing a distant Leatherface cousin set to inherit the manor (and manner), continues her sad career in unbuttoned bondage, and the 3-D effects are especially ruinous. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York All the makers of "Texas Chainsaw 3D" cared about was getting your $16. Wesley Morris-Boston Globe Try as [Luessenhop] might to honor the original -- flashbulb transitions, a skeevy (yet buff) hitchhiker, metal doors, and meat hooks -- there's little of its mounting dread. Pete Vonder Haar-Village Voice An effort is made to provide some character definition for Leatherface, which is probably a mistake. He's much scarier as a cipher. Peter Howell-Toronto Star It deserves a modicum of credit for actually making you despise a chainsaw-wielding maniac less than a bunch of lowlife redneck scum. Steve Newton-Georgia Straight Texas Chainsaw immediately establishes itself as a significant improvement over the various other entries in this enduring franchise... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews The equivalent of filmic road kill ... An abridged version of the original, rendered in bad 3D, serves as a pre-credit set-up and makes us long for the real deal. Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope You may think that after six movies that there would be nothing left to say on the topic of Texas chainsaw massacres, and you would be right. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Director John Luessenhop delivers some jolts as well as much gruesomeness, but a bogus ending and the convoluted morality of a script that tries to transform the vengeful Leatherface into a sympathetic if psychotic antihero hamstrings his efforts. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) ( ... ) you might want to imagine I'm wielding a chainsaw that's making the noise rrrrrrrrrrrLLLLLLLLL! And that, as I write, I'm chopping up the three scriptwriters and three story writers on the grounds of over-manning (ditto, nine producers). Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Leatherface is a loser. Nick Nunziata-CHUD Seeing a flick in January usually means lowering your expectations, but no moviegoer should have to endure this. Kristian Harloff-Schmoes Know Leatherface is the smartest one in this picture: he's the only one with the good sense to cover up his face so no one will know he was involved in this putrid waste of time. Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know This new film survives on its formulaic horror mechanics and the powerful image of a chain saw wielded in 3-D. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle There are some gory kills and some goofy fun as a huge chainsaw thrusts out of the screen in 3D, but this is a generic by the numbers slasher that squanders TCM's grimy history. Henry Northmore-The List Includes some of the absolute worst 3-D effects that I can ever remember seeing. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Texas Chainsaw 3D is the sort of movie that makes you wish they made kevler contact lenses. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray "Texas Chainsaw 3D" is not a very original slasher film. It mostly serves fans of the horror genre with its stereotypical characters and gore. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers When making a sequel to a beloved genre classic, it's generally unwise to include clips of the masterpiece you're attempting to live up to. A.A. Dowd-Time Out Chicago An inane, insane horror movie but Alexandra Daddario makes it bearable. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com An artless exercise, but also sporadically successful in its attempts to expand on the Leatherface mythos in a new-ish way. Michael Nordine-Willamette Week math doesn't mean much in Texas Chainsaw, nor does logic, for that matter, or anything resembling originality or daring James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk It feels more like a non-scary 'Scary Movie' spoof than the real deal, such is its lack of genuine tension. Graham Young-Birmingham Post Maybe it's due to ... lowered expectations, but I found "Texas Chainsaw 3-D" a mildly entertaining way to pass an hour and a half on a cold winter afternoon.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Movie Review | |
It frequently seems as though Jackson was less interested in making The Hobbit than in remaking his own fabulously successful Lord of the Rings series. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic My first thought in watching The Hobbit was: Do we really need this movie? It was my last thought, too. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor To its own narrative detriment, "The Hobbit" works hard to lay the framework for what will follow. Certainly that's one way to set out on a trilogy, but it's surely not the best. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post There's no denying the majesty in Peter Jackson's visuals but he's taken a relatively slim children's book and stretched it beyond the limits. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com The repeated iterations of fight, flight and respite here get wearing. Especially perhaps because, with Jackson's fetish for detail, they take more time to watch on screen than to read about. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" has finally arrived, not on wings of gossamer fancy but with a hairy-footed thud. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post The odd thing about the saying "too much of a good thing" is that it acknowledges the fact that, something, in general, is composed of an overabundance of excellence. Bill Gibron-Film Racket There's a good film in here, but as with many double albums, you have to sift through a lot of padding to find it. Richard Edwards-SFX Magazine The Hobbit may not be as memorable as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it's a mostly faithful adaptation that sticks to the same tones and themes of the source material. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered It's a journey that any fan of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy should enjoy. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight The start of Peter Jackson's second Tolkien universe trilogy seemed to elicit more shrugs than awe, which was odd because the movie stands on par with his monumental The Lord of the Rings films. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com A top-shelf presentation of one of last year's baggiest, most unnecessary films, this combo pack confirms An Unexpected Journey's status as little more than pricey techno-bauble. John Semley-Slant Magazine Peter Jackson's return to Middle Earth feels familiar and unfulfilling. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground If Jackson had focused simply on Bilbo's party and their attempts to get a proper homeland for the dwarves, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' would have been a leaner, more engaging tale. Dan Lybarger-KC Active Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien may like sitting through a 169 minute film, that easily could have been trimmed by at least 50 minutes. But, I was constantly aware of the long running time. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers As it stands, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a thoroughly engaging, often rip-roaring, old school yarn. It's got scope, excitement, and above all, emotional heft. Bill Gibron-PopMatters Whenever this movie suffers from lengthy prequel-itis and a weighty sense of expectations, it falls short. Still, for much of its 165 minutes, this epic has enough small moments and deft touches that it tugs you along with the power of a good story. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) An Unexpected Journey offers an unparalleled visual spectacle Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire a drag-down, mildly diverting entertainment Jay Antani-Cinema Writer When the dwarves turn up mob-handed, kicking off a night of boisterous revelry, the laboured jests and jollity seem to go on forever. And the combination of dwarves, forced humour and familiar faces off the telly turn the occasion into bad panto. Jason Best-Movie Talk The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey had me with the dulcet melancholy of displaced Dwarves, yearning to be home. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Slower out of the gates than a three-legged donkey... but it gets better, and fans won't mind this slowburn beginning because, hey, it's Middle Earth. Matt Neal-The Standard It's the behaviour of the supposedly affable dwarves that makes this particular 'adventure' such a punishing experience. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture ...a jaw-dropping visual carnival courtesy of Peter Jackson and company! Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes Very, very (very) slow in the early going, but Peter Jackson does get there (eventually). Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a story stretched too thin; dragged out by drudging slowness and obvious padding that its handful of thrilling action sequences can't improve.

The Guilt Trip Movie Review | |
Andrew [Rogen], who has invented an organic cleaning compound, pitches it to retailers in a succession of meetings across the country that have no grounding in any known reality. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal The Guilt Trip pairs Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand in the hope, no doubt, that sparks will fly. They don't. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Rogen and Streisand are reasonably funny together, though Rogen, always best when he's angry, is crowded into the role of a well-mannered straight man. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader To its detriment, The Guilt Trip opts to work gently on the heart rather than hard on the funny bone. James Adams-Globe and Mail A breezy, funny and warm road-trip comedy. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com The Guilt Trip is clearly targeted at older audiences less than receptive to the crude jokes that made Seth Rogen famous. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald On paper, it must have seemed like a solid idea Bill Gibron-Film Racket Contrived and mostly medicore, but may satisfy Streisand fans Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit It's all kvetch this and kvetch that, with few jokes or amusing encounters ... Philip French-Observer [UK] It never quite delivers juggernaut-sized laughs, but the sharp-tongued sparring between the two leads pops and fizzes throughout, with Streisand in particular showing she's still an intuitive and naturalistic comedian. Terry Staunton-Radio Times Streisand has lost little of her gawky, pesky touch in comedy, while Rogen knows just how to be the charmingly daft slob. Derek Malcolm-This is London Rogen plays the science nerd Andrew, who has just invented an organic cleaning product and is taking a cross-country trip to find a buyer. In a moment of weakness, he invites his meddling mother Joyce (Streisand). Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Barbra's speed-yapping makes her mollycoddling mum Joyce even more annoying than she is supposed to be. Grant Rollings-Sun Online What we're left with is a bafflingly dull road movie. Maybe Alexander Payne could have done something with this. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] It is the makers who should feel guilty. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Enjoyable mother-son road movie that swerves the potential potholes of broad or outrageous comedy in favour of an engaging, emotionally convincing and ultimately moving portrait of the central relationship ... Matthew Turner-ViewLondon It's been more than fifteen years since Barbra Streisand has taken a lead role in a movie...and after suffering this you can see why. Tim Evans-Sky Movies There are OK performances but the cast are better than this. Very occasionally it's vaguely amusing, but it's mostly just annoying or cringeworthy. Roz Laws-Birmingham Post Think of it as a Sunday drive, easy and breezy, with good company to pass the time. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy Despite the odds, both stars strike a few sparks in Anne Fletcher's slight comedy. Eddie Harrison-The List You've seen this film already. That's how predictable it is...the film is surprisingly light on laughs. Jim Schembri-3AW Small stakes and consistently tame inclinations mark screenwriter Dan Fogelman's effort, which gives off an ambling vibe that would be more at home in an independent production. Brent Simon-Screendaily Only comes to life during a Texan steak-eating contest that has Babs ingest a mountain of meat. Neil Smith-Total Film Some actors you'd pay to watch read the phonebook; turns out it's worth paying to see Streisand eat a steak. Alice Tynan-The Vine Likeable and entertaining, The Guilt Trip isn't quite the blast it could have been, but it uses the tools of commercial filmmaking to give audiences a lift at the end Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile An opportunity for bite is lost in this compelling pairing of Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen, whose joint range and capacity is hardly scratched Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile | |

Parental Guidance Movie Review | |
This grating family comedy resembles a sitcom in its flat lighting, patronizing music cues, and frames supplying little visual information apart from the actors' mugging faces. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader One of those intergenerational embarrassment comedies in the Meet the Fockers line, where children can enjoy seeing grown-ups looking ridiculous. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail An extended "in my day" joke intended to convey the superiority of old people over a lot of supposedly contemporary behavior that doesn't actually exist in real life. Chris Packham-Village Voice After a while it seems to run out of jokes, maybe to make room for all the crying and hug-it-out family redemption in the last half hour. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly I can't deny I did feel fonder of my own family afterward, mostly because I know none of them would ever make me sit through Parental Guidance. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine It's hard to know who exactly "Parental Guidance" was made for. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post Borscht Belt humor combines with serious schmaltz to produce this gummy formulaic family comedy. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A crotchety Billy Crystal earns more shrugs than laughs in this badly overacted family comedy. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com People with brains they can't turn on and off for 90 minute stretches of holiday family togetherness will be driven to take some kind of painkiller before the final credits roll. Everyone else will be fine Dave White-IFilm If 'Parental Guidance' is the drivel that's passing for family fare this winter, then it's best to just keep your family warm and entertained at home. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) ... a shameless mix of obnoxious slapstick and relentless bodily-function humor that results in shots to the crotch for Crystal and blows to the brain for moviegoers. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com I don't know if it's reassuring or scary that in such an American film the kids seems to be UK-style victims of both health and safety rules and political correctness at the same time. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Poor Crystal. There remains a scintilla of dignity in his sad clown. He may beatbox while wearing wraparound sunglasses, but, thankfully for you and yours, he does not dance the robot. Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle The underlying issues make for a surprisingly relevant film. Graham Young-Birmingham Post A yappy pile-up of grandparents-know-best shtick, gross-out bathroom humor and sentimental claptrap. Neil Pond-American Profile Crystal, Midler and Tomei make a perfect combination for this funny but heartwarming family film Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com A brutal comedy of bad manners ... Philip French-Observer [UK] Just as ghastly as it sounds. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express The family friendliest movie comedy this holiday season is also the sappiest and schmaltziest. And thanks to Billy Crystal, the shtickiest. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service A film with little else to commend it from the obvious. Derek Malcolm-This is London Frankly it all feels a bit obvious, perfunctory and dated. Stella Papamichael-Radio Times Midler does her best as a put-upon grandma but, ultimately, Parental Guidance feels dated. Grant Rollings-Sun Online Warm and schmaltzy, Parental Guidance is the movie equivalent of comfort food. It's funny and warmhearted, not terribly ambitious, but it does the things it sets out to do well. Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune | |

Jack Reacher Movie Review | |
There is a dogged leanness to Reacher's pursuit that lifts his adventures from the generic rut ... Anthony Lane-New Yorker If Cruise's fantasy superhero garners as many staunch fans ... we may be witnessing the birth of a new franchise. Kathleen Murphy-MSN Movies Jack Reacher already feels as if it belongs to another era. David Edelstein-Vulture A clumsily condensed mystery/thriller novel made into a movie that offers little more than every other clumsily condensed mystery/thriller novel made into a movie. James Berardinelli-ReelViews A workmanlike action thriller, competent but never particularly thrilling. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times The dialogue is often unintentionally funny and Cruise's performance is all wrong. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Jack Reacher revolves around wild impossibilities and baffling motivations, and the conclusion is a whopper that outdoes everything I've discussed above. Christopher Null-Film Racket Another macho loner fights for justice Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit A violent adaptation of the bestselling novels about an Iraq War veteran turned vigilante investigator. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground ...a better-than-average modern-day thriller that hopefully marks the start of a promising new series. David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews Cruise may be getting older, but he's still the best action star in Hollywood. "Jack Reacher" is typical of the kind of smart choices he's making these days. We could really use more films like this one. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers 'Jack Reacher' is a lot smarter than you've been led to believe by the ads. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) It's easy to like the idea of a Jack Reacher movie; it takes a little more effort to like the one writer-director Christopher McQuarrie (who penned 'The Usual Suspect's) has made. Dan Lybarger-KC Active Another notch on Tom Cruise's action hero belt and demonstrates why he is still one the most bankable action men in Hollywood Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire This is solid, enjoyable, formula-driven stuff designed to self-replicate into a film series, nothing more - and there's nothing wrong with that. Jim Schembri-3AW Reacher is a fascinating character, to be sure, both a virtuous crusader for justice and a cold-blooded killer. Here's hoping that any future big-screen installments might develop those conflicted sides into something with a darker edge. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com An often outlandish, overly talky crime-procedural drama that seems like a vanity project its marquee star must have wanted to do with his director buddy while waiting for their next "Mission Impossible" collaboration. Neil Pond-American Profile So long as you accept that the twain will never meet between the film and book versions of Jack Reacher, you should be able to enjoy each exclusively if not necessarily as a compliment to one another. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com (Cruise)... is assisted by a fine supporting cast that includes, besides Pike, Jenkins and Herzog, David Owelolo, Jai Courtney and Cruise's old buddy, the great Robert Duvall who, at age 81, continues to amaze. Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes Unless you cast Yao Ming as Bilbo Baggins, what bearing does height have on a characterisation? Thank Christ that Cruise has an unwavering sense of self, as Jack Reacher is old school action dynamite. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat Ultimately, the film rises and falls on Cruise's aggressively magnetic performance. Louis Black-Austin Chronicle A less robotic lead would have been appreciated, but McQuarrie has delivered an efficient action-crime film with Reacher as the sort of unstoppable, ultracompetent reluctant hero once played on the B-movie circuit by Chuck Norris. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) CSI: Tom Cruise Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Rosamund Pike's underwritten role mostly requires her to goggle at Reacher's deductive genius and swoon at his pecs, but even if Jack Reacher won't leave nonpartisan viewers weak at the knees it still delivers straightforward genre thrills. Jason Best-Movie Talk As the melodrama unfolds, Jack Reacher might occasionally feel like a minor work in Tom Cruise's filmography; hindsight may reveal it to be one of his most accomplished and defining characterisations.

Lincoln Movie Review | |
'Lincoln' works as a snapshot of a great man without ever slipping into a portrait of sainthood. Dave Calhoun-Time Out This is movie magic -- history coming to life, before our eyes. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times It's the most remarkable movie Steven Spielberg has made in quite a spell, and one of the things that makes it remarkable is how it fulfills those expectations by simultaneously ignoring and transcending them. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies Lincoln paints a powerful and compelling portrait of the man who has become an icon. We don't need to see more of his life to understand how rare a figure he was - this window is more than sufficient. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Lincoln offers proof of what magic can happen when an actor falls in love with his character. Because as great as Day-Lewis has been in his many parts, he has never seemed quite so smitten. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The film masterfully captures the dual dilemmas facing the president in the final months of his life: how to bring the war between the states to an end, and how to eradicate slavery, once and for all. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer This Blu-ray release feels a bit cold and aloof. Beautiful packaging but the picture quality doesn't really "sing" and the extras are fairly "non-existent." If you like the movie, this is a fine Blu-ray to pick up. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine A bit like watching the West Wing played by Amish People. Desperately needed 40 minutes cut out of what is essentially quite a beautifully made movie. Marc Fennell-Triple J Day-Lewis...wears well the weariness of the office and Lincoln's puckish yet subdued sense of humor, scaling the man closer to life-size than Mount Rushmore monumental. [Blu-ray] Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews The lame extras are disappointing, but Steven Spielberg's quietly subversive political comedy receives an otherwise superlative transfer. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Whenever other actors hear Daniel Day-Lewis is making a movie, they can pretty much give up any hopes that they'll win an Oscar that year. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com A poignant portrait of Lincoln's last days, time spent as a marked man making his appointed rounds en route to his rendezvous with destiny. Kam Williams-Sly Fox Spielberg's 'Lincoln' gives us the fullest portrait of the man on the five dollar bill that Hollywood has produced. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Pushing this film as merely 'Lincoln' is something of an injustice to the man himself, as if audiences wouldn't have any interest in the actual story of the film. Kevin A. Ranson-MovieCrypt.com Somewhere in there, Lincoln will call upon [his administration's] faculties and better sense, and the film about him will ask something similar of us. Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter A spellbinding performance and a beautifully nuanced film about statesmanship, quiet contemplation and - above all else - principle. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground Once you settle in, this is an educational and enlightening epic. Yes, it can be ponderous, but for the most part, Lincoln is entertaining. Matt Neal-The Standard A powerful and brilliant look at the most important moment in US history... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Oddly, Spielberg chooses to set his gabby epic largely indoors...This gives Lincoln a rather inert feel...It's infuriating that spectacular battle scenes are described in the film, but not shown. Jim Schembri-3AW A remarkable performance by Daniel Day-Lewis is the glue that holds Lincoln together. Without him, this would be a very unremarkable film. Tim Martain-The Mercury Spielberg's guarded representation of Honest Abe highlights some problems with the biopic format, especially in terms of veracity, and especially in terms of how we can (or can't) measure accuracy as the years roll by. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey Every ounce of time-honoured respect a nation has seen fit to bestow upon The Great Emancipator is addressed frame by frame in Steven Spielberg's stately masterwork, Lincoln. Simon Foster-Screen-Space For the most part Lincoln is not a significant inclusion into Spielberg's filmography despite the noblest of intentions and undeniable cinematic craftsmanship. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy A focused, remarkably human production, anchored by Day-Lewis' understated performance as the softly spoken, long winded, devilishly funny Abraham Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Those interested in the subject matter should find it informative, eye-opening and rewarding. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Lincoln is a far more reckless, entertaining, unusual, but ultimately horribly uneven film than its pedigree may suggest. Erin Free-FILMINK (Australia) | |

Skyfall Movie Review | |
It's been a long time since I enjoyed a Bond movie so much. Tom Charity-CNN.com 'Quantum of Solace,' was a dour, dire letdown. This picture's a substantial bounce back, and easily the best Craig Bond picture. Emotional depth and all. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies Sam Mendes' 'Skyfall': sleek, slithery, sensual Joe Baltake-Passionate Moviegoer The cool accomplishment of Skyfall, 23rd in the Broccoli franchise, is that it seems a necessary, rather than mandatory, addition to the year's popular culture. Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine Among the most ambitious imaginings of Bond to date: dark, supple, and punctuated with moments of unanticipated visual brilliance. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic Mendes' approach to action is classical and elegant - no manic editing and blurry unintelligible images here - but what makes the movie special is the attention he pays his actors. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald One of the better bonds, but it isn't as good as Daniel Craig's first outing. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Solicits swoons like the best Bonds ever did, even if Bond's dangerously close to decommission. Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter A very British Bond, and also a very personal one. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground Skyfall is a crushing bore. My Bond is not some whiny, emo, wall gazing, beer drinking "tough guy." My Bond loves women, has cool gadgets, a hot car that does neat things, beats the crap out of people. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine It ought to win a prize just for reconnecting with what made the franchise successful in the first place, while also repositioning the Bond films for the '10s. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Sam Mendes revitalizes the James Bond franchise with a slick and action-packed entry. Daniel Craig proves yet again why he's the best Bond yet. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered Bond traditions haven't just been updated -- they've been intelligently modified and rethought, giving us the franchise's inherent pleasures in a new package. Tim Grierson-Deadspin I lump this head-scratchingly beloved Bond flick along with The Dark Knight Rises as the most inexplicably overrated movies of 2012. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Skyfall proves that a long-standing series can deliver the expected fundamentals while keeping the new films fresh and unpredictable. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema One of the ten best films of 2012. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Rage Monthly The film serves as a trip back to the beginning of the 50-year-old cinematic legend and the promise of a golden future with Craig in the role of 007. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman What propels this grisly chapter is the characters' keen sense of agency. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Skyfall epitomizes what a Bond movie should be, and its director, for once, justifiably deserves much of the credit. Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt Skyfall isn't quite a throwback to the absurd thrills of the 007 films of old, but it does inject some fun back into the franchise. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com As the saying goes, you've got to shake 22 Bond films, before the 23rd is stirred to perfection. Without a doubt, this is the best James Bond movie. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review James Bond looks broken and weary, an embodiment of a traditional model of international spydom, the one premised on national borders, white-Western-wealthy entitlements, and excessive consumptions of alcohol, cars, and women. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters I have no compulsion whatsoever in declaring Skyfall, in terms of cinematography, the best looking Bond film ever ... Action movies simply don't look like this - but ... this is no ordinary action movie. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Sentimental touches underscore the fun and frivolity of Bond's past while relishing the brutal landscape of the modern day super-spy. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) This makes the list of truly great 007 films alongside the list of Goldfinger, Thunderball, Live And Let Die, Licence To Kill, Goldeneye and Casino Royale.

Life of Pi Movie Review | |
Flawed, yes, but marvellously ambitious, and unforgettably gorgeous to look at. Tom Huddleston-Time Out Mr. Lee's film is stronger as a visual experience-especially in 3-D-than an emotional one, but it has a final plot twist that may also change what you thought you knew about the ancient art of storytelling. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal There's an audience out there for this movie, but the question is whether they will find it. James Berardinelli-ReelViews The movie's energy peters out in a series of book-club conversations about divine will, the power of storytelling, and the resilience of the human spirit. Dana Stevens-Slate A movie that can't be dismissed because there is too much in it but can't be embraced because it's all spread too thin. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle This transcendent fable carries a real sting in its tail. Ang Lee has made a bold and wondrous movie, one of his best. Tom Charity-CNN.com If you're in search of a film that's something a little different, they don't come much more different than this. Russell Lewin-SFX Magazine Ang Lee's fantastical and frustrating Oscar-winner is kept afloat on Blu-ray by Fox's highly commendable A/V transfer and a bundle of helpful, relevant extras. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine Ang Lee's Life of Pi is a visual masterpiece, often transcending the boundaries of special effects and what they're capable of, but the film's actual story is hollow. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The search for religion takes a back seat to the spectacular visual splendor of a boy floating alone on the ocean with a vicious tiger. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight A wondrous tale of survival and faith that challenges our notions of the possible. Rob Vaux-Sci-Fi Movie Page Best director Oscar-winner Ang Lee unleashes some serious CGI black magic to create a ridiculously lifelike gang of animals stuck aboard the wackiest life raft trip you're ever likely to see. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com Winner of several technical Oscars and Best Director, Ang Lee's Life of Pi gets an absolutely gorgeous HD transfer in a nice full featured, simple Blu-ray package. It is a visual feast for the eyes. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine "Life of Pi" isn't just a visual effects movie stuck at sea. There's a compelling story here as well. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Endorses the notion of blind faith, and denial as a positive character trait. Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Mystical and endless as the number pi, 'The Life of Pi' works on a number of levels, all of them enchanting. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) Takes some time to find its flow. The CGI-tiger is the greatest marvel here-the intensity of its stare alone makes it the truest fiction of all. Religious platitudes remain fairly pat; the final allegory's overstated. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) The morals of the story don't come through, while the film's extensive metaphors are belatedly rammed down your throat like a get out of jail free card. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire Ang Lee's extraordinary, lyrical, beautiful, moving, genre-defying Life of Pi can be recommended with the simple, sweeping assurance that it is unlike anything you have ever seen before. Jim Schembri-3AW A dazzling digital dreamscape that sets staggering new heights for what can be accomplished with 3D technology. Tom Clift-Moviedex Martel's novel could have yielded a greater film in different hands, but Lee's work remains one to be grateful for. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth (Ang) Lee has gone above and beyond, executing the job with near flawless precision. Matt Neal-The Standard When adrift with Pi and the tiger on the open sea, the film is at its most wondrous: a ravishing spectacle that treads judiciously on the infinite line between what's possible and impossible. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Life poses as a spiritual experience, but it's more like a postcard. Jake Mulligan-Boston Phoenix What better analogy for our place in the universe than a couple of scared creatures stranded on a precarious liferaft in the middle of a vast nothingness? Tim Martain-The Mercury Life of Pi is director Ang Lee's artistic expression of faith on film that's close to his very own version of the Sistine Chapel, minus the neck pain.

Promised Land Movie Review | |
This is a solid if at times too conventional tale of a classic moral conflict. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com [It's mostly] a well-wrought drama that feels genuine as it goes about spinning a tale worthy of our challenging times. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Promised Land is more effective as an anti-fracking screed than as a drama. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Damon and McDormand are terrific as co-workers seeking the same goal, though they see their work from different points of view. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald This isn't a movie about easy fixes, be they personal or political; it's a film about long-term problems. Tom Long-Detroit News Far too awkward and contrived a drama to change many hearts and minds. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail 'You can't make natural gas from shale without fracking' doesn't quite have the same ring to it as 'You can't start a fire without a spark'. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail The earnestness of the performances had me digging the story all the way up to the idiotic twist that tries hard to ruin everything that came before. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com The pro-environment message here is more effective because of the film's subtlety, a casting twist featuring the likeable Matt Damon, and a script that doesn't insult its audience. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) There are some good scenes early on, and the conflict at the centre is real. But it's sentimental, Capraesque fare ... Philip French-Observer [UK] underwhelming at best Bill Gibron-Film Racket Thee film-makers' sincerity so indisputable, that Promised Land never entirely spins off the rails. It's hard to swallow, but easy to digest. Donald Clarke-Irish Times Hydraulic fracturing might not be the most compelling subject for a movie, but it provides a topical backdrop for this engaging drama about ethics. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com A gentle rather than dramatic film that, once the central argument is laid out, lacks real flair. Derek Malcolm-This is London A flawed but watchable eco-drama - heavily indebted to a wittier anti-corporate movie, Local Hero, made 30 years ago. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] Van Sant is no Frank Capra, so why is he trying so hard to be? Glenn Heath Jr.-Little White Lies Not confident or bolshy enough about the subject, too aware of eco versus economic pros and cons ... Antonia Quirke-Financial Times The latest film from Gus Van Sant is a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging smalltown drama with a strong script and a terrific central performance from co-writer Matt Damon. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon A compelling glimpse into a world of corporate chicanery where unscrupulous business giants casually toss decent chaps like Butler into the fray to take the, er, frack. Tim Evans-Sky Movies The film means well, it just doesn't stir the soul. Damon Smith-Birmingham Post Northern Exposure with Jason Bourne. Which is a backhanded way of saying this is far from the challenging movie it promised to be. Ian Nathan-Empire Magazine Feels more Hollywoodland than 'Promised Land'. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy Quietly powerful, this has a fine cast and yet it's very much Damon's movie, as he delivers his finest, most subtly nuanced performance yet and, remarkably, actually allows himself to look, ahem, older. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up As a slice of rural Americana, Promised Land works. Then it turns into sticky apple pie, leaving only the feeling that you've been had. Kevin Harley-Total Film An earnest, fundamentally likeable film which challenges us to question what we're told rather than calling us to arms. Emma Simmonds-The List Worth taking seriously, but hamstrung by avoiding larger political issues and coming down to a matter of individual conscience. Dan Jardine-Daily-Reviews | |

Monsters, Inc. 3D Movie Review | |
It's in the visuals that 'Monsters Inc' comes to life, from the jazzy, Norman McLaren influenced opening to the hilarious, shakycam amateur-dramatic recap over the closing credits. Tom Huddleston-Time Out It may be harder nowadays to dazzle audiences with fancy visual effects, but Monsters, Inc. 3D proves that smart, imaginative storytelling still does the trick every time. Stephan Lee-Entertainment Weekly Most of the charm of "Monsters Inc." comes from its vocal cast. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger If history is any guide, you and your family - whether young or old - will probably want to see "Monsters University" over and over. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News The movie itself stands up well, even from an adult, two-dimensional perspective. Rob Salem-Toronto Star Its reassuring message is more relevant than ever. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Pixar's overlooked gem arrives in a worthwhile collector's edition bursting with features and exceptional A/V presentation. Tina Hassannia-Slant Magazine While nippers will love the colourful creatures and their slapstick antics, grown-ups will find less humour and layers than in the likes of Toy Story, meaning less overall appeal as a result. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor [I] really don't see the point of paying extra for children under eight. Their eyes are still developing, their noses are still small for slippery glasses, and... isn't a trip to the pictures enough for them in any case? Graham Young-Birmingham Mail If anything, it improves with age. Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London Monsters displays wonderful imagination which makes it worth reliving in an extra dimension - particularly the energetic chase scene along a conveyor belt of doors. Alex Zane-Sun Online Pixar's soaringly lovely fourth feature ... Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph [An] exciting, imaginative and very likable adventure. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Despite its eternal message about physical differences and the importance of love over fear of the unknown, Monsters, Inc primarily remains an ambitious concept film. Graham Young-Birmingham Post Another chance to see Pixar's most dazzling premise, now spruced up with a third dimension. Helen OHara-Empire Magazine Now in 3D, the filmmakers have created a wonderful reality - the reality of Monstropolis, which like the worlds of Oz and Pleasantville, whisk us far, far away on a magic carpet of fantasy Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile A shrewdly timed reminder of Pixar's early, heady days, when the animation powerhouse could do no wrong. Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald This didn't need 3D to work. It long ago passed the kids-wear-out-the-DVD-rewatching-it test. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service There's really little reason to check out Monsters, Inc. 3D in... well, 3D, rather than going for a good old-fashioned 2D screening instead. Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant It does well, but not brilliantly: an amusing trifle from a studio whose best work still lay ahead of it. Rob Vaux-Mania.com Not quite a Pixar classic, but funny, witty and visually spectacular enough to be enjoyed again on the big screen. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Monsters, Inc. continues a positive 3D trend for the company, who appear to be selecting their upgraded titles wisely, choosing features that benefit from the additional depth. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Not even the opportunistic 3D-ification can squander the pure delight of the film's meticulously detailed world of ragtag creatures. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine | |

Silver Linings Playbook Movie Review | |
It's a rom-com that succeeds in revitalizing that discredited genre where so many others have failed, injecting it with the grit and emotion of realist drama rather than with amped-up whimsy or social satire or montages of people walking on the beach. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com Silver Linings Playbook tells us that happily-ever-after may depend on finding people who coexist with our lunacy, not ones who can lead us out of it. In any case, it's crazy good. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune A crazy beaut of a comedy that brims with generosity and manages to circumvent predictability at every turn. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly An edgy romantic dramedy that suits our anxious times. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News This meaningful film keeps the laughs, giddy anxiousness and warm butterflies from the trailer and sustains it all through two full hours of a love story. Ricardo Baca-Denver Post A deft treatment of its delicate subject material and some remarkable performances that give the film both touching, raw, authentic emotion and a certain kinetic humor. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Jennifer Lawrence is the only aspect of the film that truly lives up to the trumped-up awards buzz and hype, but being a perfectly enjoyable light comedy with heaps of heart is no small feat in itself. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com I love the work that deNiro and Lawrence do here, but ultimately all they do is prove the old adage that you can cover up a lot of problems with the script by hiring good actors. Dan Jardine-Cinemania "Silver Linings Playbook" could not be a more awkward love story. But I loved every second of it! Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum Silver Linings Playbook looks like your run-of-the-mill wacky family comedy, but it's an important film and a great one that deserves to sweep the awards it's nominated for. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground Silver Linings Playbook is defined by the positive decisions that are made in the face of imperfection, desperation, and the desolate wasteland of your world in pieces. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Director David O. Russell forms a unique and incredible romance dramedy... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed There is some charm to the story, but the final act is very neat, predictable, contrived, and not up to originality of the first two. Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews Director David O. Russell is a little too chipper at times - breaking a restraining order is really no joke - but he brings a breeziness to this likeable tale of two misfits trying to make it work. Jim Schembri-3AW It may be a Hollywood comedy, but it's one that feels beautifully alive. Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia) On the surface Silver Linings Playbook is a raucous romantic comedy, but its real interests are superstition and delusion. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema A volatile mix of familial drama and madcap comedy, infectious optimism and razor-wire wit, it's one of the most purely enjoyable films released in the past twelve months. Tom Clift-Moviedex Parece desistir de qualquer traço de originalidade em seu clímax, quando se entrega a todos os clichês do gênero: mal-entendidos, mocinhos obrigados a correr atrás da mocinha pela rua e, claro, o insuportável travelling circular do beijo romântico. Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena I suppose the phrase 'serious romantic comedy' sounds like a paradox. But that's exactly what 'Silver Linings Playbook' is: an intelligent, edgy dark comedy with romance at its core. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) This is a rom-com dressed up as an Oscar-baiting "dramedy". It's a good rom-com thanks to it's edge... but occasionally has the bad traits of a bad rom-com. Matt Neal-The Standard Silver Linings Playbook puts the "fun" in "dysfunction." And sure, that sounds glib, but actually, it's a rather extraordinary achievement. Especially when you're skirting on the edges of sanity. Alice Tynan-The Vine A bittersweet pill that's a mixture of an endearing family drama and modern romance that's an absolute delight. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie tows the line of conventional, feel-good Hollywood rom-com, albeit dressed up in just enough art-house quirk to make it feel like something slightly radical James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk A reminder that 'sanity' doesn't make your flaws any more orderly. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz Silver Linings Playbook is a fine, funny film, and one that should charm viewers who haven't been tricked by all those Oscar nominations into anticipating it as some kind of world-changing work of art for the ages. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix | |
