Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve (2012) 62% 2.5/4 EDIT “Money For Nothing lacks the rush of Rush, but you still might find your pulse racing and your blood boiling by the film's end.” – Denver Post Sep 27, 2013 Full Review Gangster Squad (2013) 30% 3/4 EDIT “It might sound like a stretch, imagining Penn playing that intense, indiosyncratic a villain. But the lauded, veteran actor pulls a left hook, then a right, and after a wild bodyshot at the tail end of the film, you see the true mania behind his eyes.” – Denver Post Jan 11, 2013 Full Review Not Fade Away (2012) 69% 1.5/4 EDIT “This film could have been -- should have been, even -- something special. But it's not.” – Denver Post Jan 4, 2013 Full Review This Is 40 (2012) 52% 2.5/4 EDIT “Apparently Apatow's penchant for if-it's-not-broke filmmaking isn't changing anytime soon. And it's a shame, because while This is 40 has plenty of laughs, it lacks decency and heart.” – Denver Post Dec 21, 2012 Full Review Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 92% 4/4 EDIT “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.” – Denver Post Nov 21, 2012 Full Review Hit & Run (2012) 49% 3/4 EDIT “The rom-com/car chase back-and-forth doesn't always work, but a fun story and affable cast keep things moving fluidly.” – Denver Post Aug 17, 2012 Full Review To Rome With Love (2012) 47% 4/4 EDIT “Allen's story moves along quite wonderfully, primarily because of his nuanced casting.” – Denver Post Jul 6, 2012 Full Review Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) 34% 2/4 EDIT “The disconnect between intention and final product is a head scratcher.” – Denver Post Jun 22, 2012 Full Review American Reunion (2012) 45% 2.5/4 EDIT “Yes, American Reunion is a juvenile outing. They steal jet skis and defecate in beer coolers. They cheat on their girlfriends and lie to their best friends. But what did you expect?” – Denver Post Apr 6, 2012 Full Review It Might Get Loud (2008) 79% 2/4 EDIT “While that sounds like a fantasy for rock aficionados, the scenes lack dramatic tension or cinematic enlightenment. It just kind of happens, and then the all-star jam fades to black, leaving few remnants of the filmmakers' initial intentions.” – Denver Post Sep 4, 2009 Full Review Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience (2009) 21% EDIT “In a struggling music economy, the big screen can be big money -- for the right acts. And the Jonas Brothers are exactly that.” – Denver Post Feb 27, 2009 Full Review Cadillac Records (2008) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “Etta's story will be better told in another film, surely.” – Denver Post Dec 5, 2008 Full Review Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “It's great emotional fodder for old-school Metallica fans and smart, tugging drama for people unfamiliar with the band.” – Denver Post Jul 30, 2004 Full Review Identity (2003) 63% 2.5/4 EDIT “A film that is thiiiis close to nailing the whole suspense/thriller/ serial-killer genre.” – Denver Post Apr 25, 2003 Full Review Old School (2003) 60% 3.5/4 EDIT “This School is cool.” – Denver Post Feb 21, 2003 Full Review Daredevil (2003) 42% 2.5/4 EDIT “A well-crafted introductory course.” – Denver Post Feb 14, 2003 Full Review How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) 42% 2/4 EDIT “Lackluster.” – Denver Post Feb 7, 2003 Full Review The Recruit (2003) 43% 3/4 EDIT “The foreshadowing is a bit heavy-handed, but the writers and director largely manage the tension and mystery tactfully.” – Denver Post Jan 31, 2003 Full Review Kangaroo Jack (2003) 9% 1.5/4 EDIT “Little more than an exercise in pockmarked dialogue, lame stereotype riding and even worse pacing.” – Denver Post Jan 17, 2003 Full Review Just Married (2003) 20% 3/4 EDIT “Ditches the expected route and comes out surprisingly original and endearing.” – Denver Post Jan 10, 2003 Full Review
