Straight Outta Compton (2015) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “In the small pool of big-budget hip-hop biopics, "Straight Outta Compton" is near the top.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 13, 2015 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2010) 99% 3.5/4 EDIT “What we have here is an exhilarating epic that mixes comedic and touching moments with some of the best action sequences ever created with CGI animation.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 19, 2013 Full Review Chicken With Plums (2011) 74% 3/4 EDIT “For the most part it's a savory treat, much like the titular dish.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 13, 2012 Full Review For Greater Glory (2012) 21% 1/4 EDIT “If Michael Bay woke up one day and said to himself, "I need to make a movie about religious persecution in 1920s Mexico," I imagine it would look something like this.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune May 31, 2012 Full Review The Woman in Black (2012) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “After a while, The Woman in Black amounts to an elaborate jack-in-the-box. Yes, it will make you jump. But will you remember what forced you out of your seat a month from now? Or even next week? Probably not.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 2, 2012 Full Review My Week With Marilyn (2011) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “In "My Week With Marilyn," Michelle Williams disappears so effortlessly into Monroe's translucent skin that the camera lens seems to fog up with desire. She's that good.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 22, 2011 Full Review The Dead (2010) 74% 2/4 EDIT “Beyond its auspicious premise -- survivors fighting a zombie outbreak against the continent's scorching vistas -- there's little else to chew on here.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 6, 2011 Full Review Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 80% 2.5/4 EDIT “Here's what's missing: tension, drama, and most of all, a sense of wonder. This is a superhero movie, isn't it?” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jul 21, 2011 Full Review Prom (2011) 36% 2.5/4 EDIT “"Prom" is pure bubble gum, from its shiny wrapping to its mushy insides to its fleeting aftertaste. And sometimes, there's nothing wrong with chewing bubble gum.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 28, 2011 Full Review Mars Needs Moms (2011) 34% 2/4 EDIT “"Mars Needs Moms" doesn't crash-land into "Yogi Bear" territory, but it definitely doesn't soar to "Toy Story 3" heights of animated grandeur.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 10, 2011 Full Review The Rite (2011) 22% 1.5/4 EDIT “A horror film that goes nowhere very, very slowly.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 27, 2011 Full Review Faster (2010) 41% 2.5/4 EDIT “Johnson's movies work best when he's playing his funny opposite. Comedy is hard. Badass is not.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 24, 2010 Full Review Ahead of Time (2009) 91% 3/4 EDIT “The film packs a staggering amount of Gruber's life into 75 minutes.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 18, 2010 Full Review Four Boxes (2009) 2.5/4 EDIT “"Four Boxes" has its funny spots, and when the plot finally revs up, it delivers some freaky moments. But did we really need a triple-twist ending?” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 4, 2010 Full Review Catfish (2010) 80% 3/4 EDIT “And you thought MySpace was scary.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 30, 2010 Full Review Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) 54% 1.5/4 EDIT “Eventually, Stone allows the squishy love story between Jacob and Winnie to take center stage. It's a mistake.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 23, 2010 Full Review The Town (2010) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “As an action movie, The Town is good. But as a moody character study, it can be mesmerizing.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 16, 2010 Full Review Lebanon (2009) 90% 4/4 EDIT “It is a grisly experience, and one of the greatest war films I have ever seen.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 2, 2010 Full Review Machete (2010) 70% 3.5/4 EDIT “It's absurd, absolutely insane and a lot of fun.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 2, 2010 Full Review Going the Distance (2010) 54% 1.5/4 EDIT “A foul-mouthed rom-com carved from Apatowian intent, but it feels more like a sketch of a movie than the real thing.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Sep 2, 2010 Full Review The Switch (2010) 54% 2/4 EDIT “Aniston and Bateman find a funny chemistry together, and the film's bemusing setup unfolds with wit and charm. As 6-year-old Sebastian, Thomas Robinson steals every scene he's in.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 19, 2010 Full Review Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “What's the point of being clever if you're just going to follow it up with enough flaming-sword action and exploding bad guys to make our pupils hurt?” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 12, 2010 Full Review The Other Guys (2010) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Do we really need another buddy-cop comedy? While stupefying, the answer is, surprisingly, "yes."” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 6, 2010 Full Review Dear John (2010) 28% 1.5/4 EDIT “If the teenage girls sitting in the preview screening were giggling at this film's awkward sentimentality and its nosedive of an ending, maybe a rewrite was in order.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 4, 2010 Full Review Edge of Darkness (2010) 54% 1.5/4 EDIT “Is this a drama about a father's loss? No. Is this a political thriller? Maybe, but a good thriller should consistently surprise the viewer. The movie's revelations are met with a resounding "duh."” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 28, 2010 Full Review
