LATEST REVIEWS

HATCHET III :

“..The crowd that likes these things will certainly be psyched. Everyone else, not so much..”
by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News]

STUCK IN LOVE :

“..it's a labour of familial love from first-time writer-director Josh Boone whose simple style well serves a story of sweetness and wit..”
by Tim Evans [Sky Movies]

VEHICLE 19 :

“..Vehicle 19 is best when it's silent..”
by Andrew Schenker [Village Voice]

SUMMER IN FEBRUARY :

“..ultimately, it's a competent, if uninspired, chronicle of an intriguing community hamstrung by that worthily reverential approach that afflicts British film-makers..”
by Tim Evans [Sky Movies]

MAN OF STEEL :

“..under Nolan's supervision he (Snyder) largely lays off the ADD editing and does a highly respectable, and sometimes inspired job of retooling the basic Superman mythology in "Man of Steel"..”
by Lou Lumenick [New York Post]

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY :

“..a fun, disposable watch..”
by Henry Barnes [The Guardian]

THE BLING RING :

“..this is an intriguingly intuitive and atmospheric movie..”
by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian]

THIS IS THE END :

“.."This Is the End" suggests that they can at least sometimes be harmless, and as crude as the movie's humor often is, its spirit is sweet, sensitive and innocuous..”
by A.O. Scott [New York Times]

WORLD WAR Z :

“..a surprisingly smart, gripping and imaginative addition to the zombie-movie canon..”
by Scott Foundas [Variety]

EDEN :

“..the movie is frustratingly arbitrary in what it shows and what it leaves out. Although events are seen from Eden's perspective, we are never given a clear picture of her daily routine..”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]
