3/5
Uncut Gems (2019) Neil Morris Like a rickety roller coaster, it's a heady ride while it lasts, but you're kinda glad when it's over.

1.5/5
Aquaman (2018) Neil Morris When the cast isn't aimlessly drifting from port to port, they're swimming in a soup of phantasmagoria that's both intoxicating and exhausting.

2.5/5
Glass (2019) Neil Morris The big reveal isn't something that was hidden, but that there wasn't really anything of substance to reveal all along.

3.5/5
John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) Neil Morris The R-rated choreographed chaos remains the star of the series ... That said, the sumptuous, inventive Wick-verse is starting to show its stitching.

3/5 stars
Toy Story 4 (2019) Neil Morris What might be the finale of this seminal series misses a chance to break new ground, but it ultimately lands on the truth about its central character.

4/5 stars
Knives Out (2019) Neil Morris With shrewd plotting and razor-sharp repartee, Knives Out is one of the wittiest films of the year. It might also be one of the most hopeful.

4/4
The Great Beauty (2013) Craig D. Lindsey Funny and sad, poignant and profound, elegant and elegiac, ambitious and ambiguous, The Great Beauty is one of the most utterly enjoyable movies I've seen in years.

The Wind Rises (2013) Craig D. Lindsey If The Wind Rises is indeed Miyazaki's last hurrah, he goes out on a graceful, all-encompassing note.

3/4
Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me (2013) Craig D. Lindsey Ultimately, Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me makes you root for her even when you've had your fill of her.

2.5/4
Million Dollar Arm (2014) Craig D. Lindsey The movie certainly found the right screenwriter in Tom McCarthy.

1/4
Passion (2012) Craig D. Lindsey As much as [De Palma] beautifies this mess-the movie's so sleek, you'll worry that the cast is gonna slip off the damn screen-it's still a mess.

2/4
Magic in the Moonlight (2014) Craig D. Lindsey On a list of Allen's worst films, this, my friends, would rank very low.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
Hell Baby (2013) Craig D. Lindsey While not a lot of Hell Baby works... the movie does seem destined to be the sort of acquired-taste howler that will most likely attract people who recognize how ridiculous horror movies can be-and, of course, stoners.

1/4
Thanks for Sharing (2012) Craig D. Lindsey As much as it wants to show how keeping it in your pants can be downright debilitating for some, Thanks for Sharing ultimately proves to be an unsatisfying, relentlessly depriving experience.

2/4
Escape From Tomorrow (2013) Craig D. Lindsey Escape from Tomorrow often makes good on its aspiration to stick it to the man in the mouse suit, but let's not get carried away: Miley Cyrus is currently doing just that to much greater effect.

3/4
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) Craig D. Lindsey I will say that of all the Oscar-bait movies the Weinstein Company has released this holiday season, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is one that won't make you grimace in agony while you're watching it.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Muscle Shoals (2013) Craig D. Lindsey An occasionally doleful but otherwise lively trip, Muscle Shoals is yet another cinematic shout-out to those unsung heroes who came out of nowhere and made music that mattered.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
4/4
Her (2013) Craig D. Lindsey This retro-futuristic romance (set in a world where people dress like colorful Quakers) has not only a lyrical sharpness but also the most sincere of faces.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
6 Souls (2010) Craig D. Lindsey Even though God is actually mentioned in the closing, special-thanks credits, dude couldn't unfortunately work His/Her magic and prevent this film from being the uneven, preposterously out-of-control wreck that it is. Can the church say "Amen"?
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
Stories We Tell (2012) Craig D. Lindsey This is the most functional tale of dysfunctional-family drama I've ever heard.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
1/4
Identity Thief (2013) Craig D. Lindsey Identity Thief is supposed be a fun time, but robs you of it the whole 111 minutes you're sitting there watching it.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Gimme the Loot (2012) Craig D. Lindsey Gimme the Loot may scare off future visitors to New York City, but it'll certainly make those who grew up there homesick as hell.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Ginger & Rosa (2012) Craig D. Lindsey With Ginger & Rosa, Potter once again documents the usually lonely road a woman takes in finding out who she really is, this time showing it from the perspective of someone who isn't even a woman yet.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
I'm So Excited! (2013) Craig D. Lindsey A ribald, ridiculous party in the sky, I'm So Excited is basically Almodvar's Soul Plane-and I mean that as a compliment.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
4/4
Fruitvale Station (2013) Craig D. Lindsey It's a sad state of affairs when movies like Fruitvale Station have to show everyone what they should know by now: Black people are people, too.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
4/4
20 Feet From Stardom (2013) Craig D. Lindsey Joyous, uplifting, melancholy and nostalgic, Twenty Feet From Stardom is a stunning salute to the singers who stay in the background, but whose talents can never be contained there.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Quartet (2012) Craig D. Lindsey The movie, like the play it's based on, is more about reminding audiences that talented people are often still talented in their later years. It's safe to say that Quartet will be the feel-good movie of the year-for anyone over 65.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Seven Psychopaths (2012) Craig D. Lindsey Violence may be served up in copious amounts, but McDonagh also creates characters who have no qualms going gently into that good night.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2012) Craig D. Lindsey He was the perfect by-product of the Reagan era and, as Evocateur reminds us, someone rabid, right-wing broadcasters should gratefully praise every day of their lives.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Not Fade Away (2012) Craig D. Lindsey As the title oh-so-obviously implies, it's a love that will-well, you know.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
A Late Quartet (2012) Craig D. Lindsey The unconvincing, histrionic script makes all of this seem more contrived than controlled.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
2 Days in New York (2012) Craig D. Lindsey It's quite amazing that both Delpy and Rock pull this off, convincingly playing a couple who, despite being polar opposites, are straight-up smitten with each other.

2/4
Hotel Transylvania (2012) Craig D. Lindsey The movie is hardly top-notch stuff.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
1/4
Darling Companion (2012) Craig D. Lindsey The kind of forced, deceptive, quasi-quirky heart-warmer that brings older people (and rabid dog lovers) to the art house, Darling Companion ultimately isn't about finding the dog. It's about these shrill, boring-ass people finding each other.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Killer Joe (2011) Craig D. Lindsey Killer Joe is such a hideously over-the-top, black-hearted view of Southern-fried scumbags that even Texans like myself can't get offended.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
God Bless America (2011) Craig D. Lindsey While Goldthwait's heart is in the right place, it's unlikely the blood spilled in his film will make annoying, loathsome people finally straighten ... up.
Posted Oct 25, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Pitch Perfect (2012) Craig D. Lindsey The movie almost makes me consider watching an episode of Glee-almost.

3/4
Brave (2012) Craig D. Lindsey It's really the most sympathetic salute to mothers Disney has released since Freaky Friday.
Posted Oct 21, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
The Queen of Versailles (2012) Craig D. Lindsey Be prepared to find yourself trying to find sympathy and compassion for the Siegels.
Posted Oct 21, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Puss in Boots (2011) Craig D. Lindsey It doesn't rely on annoying pop references or scenes of shameless schmaltz. Credit is probably due to executive producer Guillermo del Toro.
Posted Oct 21, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) Craig D. Lindsey For his characters' demises, co-writer/director Eli Craig (aka Sally Field's son) comes up with the sort of ridiculous Rube Goldberg setups you would usually find in Final Destination movies.
Posted Oct 21, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Margin Call (2011) Craig D. Lindsey Margin Call effectively portrays these masters of the universe as flawed folk who were just as ill-informed, unaware and ultimately scared of losing it all as the general public.
Posted Oct 21, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
Real Steel (2011) Craig D. Lindsey You can guess where the movie goes.
Posted Oct 21, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
Bellflower (2011) Craig D. Lindsey While it may win over folks with its woozy, dreamlike, visual look ... Bellflower may also disgust others with its nasty, nihilistic narrative.
Posted Sep 01, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
The Muppets (2011) Craig D. Lindsey If anything, The Muppets succeeds in reminding us why audiences both young and old adored these talking pieces of felt in the first place: They were the first icons of family entertainment to keep it real.
Posted Sep 01, 2017  Edit critic review
3/4
Hope Springs (2012) Craig D. Lindsey I won't reveal if these two adult learners rekindle the flame they thought was out long ago. But I will tell you this: I never thought seeing Meryl Streep pull an Alanis Morissette would be one of the highlights of my summer.

3/4
Arthur Christmas (2011) Craig D. Lindsey It may look like a holiday trifle, but it's still a sleigh ride worth taking.
Posted Sep 01, 2017  Edit critic review
2/4
We Bought a Zoo (2011) Craig D. Lindsey We Bought a Zoo certainly wins this year's prize for most mediocre, heartwarming family film to win over audiences this holiday season.
Posted Sep 01, 2017  Edit critic review
4/4
The Guard (2011) Craig D. Lindsey Much like its protagonist, the film appears to enjoy taking the piss out of its audience, giving them a cynical yet cheeky neo-noir that tweaks the usual conventions and comes up with a story that may be familiar, but is told in fresh fashion.
Posted Sep 01, 2017  Edit critic review
4/4
The Adventures of Tintin (2011) Craig D. Lindsey With The Adventures of Tintin, Steven Spielberg remembers that even if you make a movie that isn't about that much, at least make it an exciting, awe-inspiring movie about not that much.
