PENGUINS 3D :

“..with nary an animated tap dance in sight, it's still king of the 3D penguins..”
by Paul Bradshaw [Total Film]

by Brian Lowry [Variety]

BEFORE MIDNIGHT :

“..Before Midnight is bittersweet, intelligently written, deftly acted and painfully honest..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]

FAST AND FURIOUS 6 :

“..so is the film, saturated with more firepower, more havoc, more special effects, more pedal-through-the-metal chase scenes and far more property destruction..”
by David Hiltbrand [Philadelphia Inquirer]

A GREEN STORY :

“.."A Green Story" holds interest as a gentle, old-fashioned look at achieving the American dream..”
by Gary Goldstein [Los Angeles Times]

“..a reasonably entertaining, adeptly crafted kidpic whose biggest crime is its near pathological reliance on overfamiliar tropes and trappings..”
by Andrew Barker [Variety]
