The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) 79% A- EDIT “I can only speak from experience, and what I saw was a powerful, arresting, and ultimately moving film that aimed for the sky and only rarely fell short.” – The Cinema Source Mar 3, 2013 Full Review Django Unchained (2012) 87% A EDIT “It'll be fun to watch at home, but there's something about the energy of the room, particularly with people seeing the film for the first time, that's hard to replicate.” – The Cinema Source Mar 3, 2013 Full Review Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 92% C+ EDIT “It's an incredibly long and drawn out character study... one that isn't nearly as rewarding as most people would have you believe.” – The Cinema Source Mar 3, 2013 Full Review Skyfall (2012) 92% A- EDIT “For fans of the genre, Skyfall is the rare gem that manages to be both the dramatic and emotional character study and the epic visceral thrills of a studio tent-pole.” – The Cinema Source Oct 22, 2012 Full Review Seven Psychopaths (2012) 82% A EDIT “The structure is an evolving narrative that continually reframes itself in different contexts, adapting to the changing landscape of a dog kidnapping gone very, very wrong.” – The Cinema Source Oct 10, 2012 Full Review Argo (2012) 96% A EDIT “Argo is a shining example of cinema at its most powerful, a well-told story delivered in the best possible format.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Taken 2 (2012) 22% D+ EDIT “Unfortunately, you'll be straining to find something compelling in this dreck, as the film feels more like a half-baked expansion pack than a standalone project.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Dredd (2012) 80% B EDIT “In fact, it's a tightly paced, fun, violent romp through a grim future earth that lives up to the comic book property that spawned both its title and its titular hero.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Looper (2012) 93% A EDIT “It's a breath of fresh air for the genre, and one of the strongest examples of single-vision filmmaking in quite some time.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 87% A- EDIT “The unraveling of that world is a slow burn, but unlike with The Dark Knight, the pressure doesn't coalesce immediately, or, for some viewers, even at all.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) 48% C EDIT “No, the bad apples fall in the shape of a script-by-committee, and a badly overreaching Charlize Theron who could have been fantastic if properly directed.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Men in Black 3 (2012) 67% B- EDIT “Now that they've shaken the rust off, I'd be curious to see what a fourth film could bring, as they really haven't tried to close the door at all with this one.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Battleship (2012) 34% C- EDIT “If you expected this movie to be good, you sort of deserve to be disappointed.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Wrath of the Titans (2012) 26% C+ EDIT “In just about every way it makes good on upping the ante from the last film, there's another element that suffers an equal amount.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review The Hunger Games (2012) 84% A- EDIT “There's always going to be parts of any adaptation that rub readers the wrong way, but on the whole the filmmakers never compromise Suzanne Collins's original vision.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Safe (2012) 59% D EDIT “It's like playing a dumbed down version of chess, albeit blindfolded and told repeatedly how stupid you are for not being able to follow along.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Detachment (2011) 59% A EDIT “You won't leave the theater feeling the same way you did walking in, nor will you look at the world in precisely the same way.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Man on a Ledge (2012) 31% A- EDIT “It's a throwback to the adrenaline pumping days of yore, when you'd begin an unassuming plot, only to find yourself thrust to the edge of your seat and held there.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review War Horse (2011) 74% A EDIT “This is a long movie. At two and a half hours, it feels exactly its length, and if you're not committed to putting that much in, you probably shouldn't see it in a theater.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) 93% B+ EDIT “The story is actually so linear that it feels convenient at times, and the focus prevents this installment from having the more relaxed meandering scope of previous outings.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) 86% A EDIT “Every year there's one film that manages to meet and then truly exceed an already high bar of expectation for me, and this year, this is that film.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review The Adventures of Tintin (2011) 75% A- EDIT “There was an awful lot of fun to be had throughout, and I'd recommend it even on the grounds of an escapist afternoon adventure.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) 60% B EDIT “The finale is easily the most capable part of the film, and it does a great job of redeeming much of the earlier portions of the movie.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review Shame (2011) 79% A EDIT “Shame is a freight train slamming into the side of your head. It's a suckerpunch, a kick in the nuts, and a lightning-rod all rolled into one.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review We Bought a Zoo (2011) 64% A- EDIT “Crowe brings everything you've ever loved about his work together in one movie, while ditching a lot of the thinner yet flashier visual material that defined earlier projects.” – The Cinema Source Oct 8, 2012 Full Review
