Me Before You (2016) Kit Bowen As far as weepy summer romantic dramas go, Me Before You may be a tad more predictable and not quite a three-hankie tearjerker, but it still achieves the requisite feels, buoyed by an effervescent performance from Emilia Clarke.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Kit Bowen While it isn't as stellar as the first two - First Class and Days of Future Past - X-Men: Apocalypse still manages to thrill you with its mutant action and impeccable characterizations.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) Kit Bowen Make sure to bring someone with you who doesn't mind if you unexpectedly grab their arm. 10 Cloverfield Lane is one of the best psychological thrillers to come along in awhile.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) Kit Bowen A big-screen adaptation of the best-selling novel took some time to reach theaters, but it was worth the wait. PPZ is rip-roaring, zombie guts-spewin', Jane Austen conventional fun.

Posted Dec 18, 2015  Edit critic review
By the Sea (2015) Kit Bowen The intent to show something meaningful, something personal in "By the Sea" is lost in the slow, morose drag of it all.

2/4
Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) Kit Bowen Mr. Popper's Penguins will certainly delight the kiddies, but their parents might wish for a tad more Jim Carrey irreverence.

2/4
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) Kit Bowen No need to tread lightly. The third installment to the Chronicles of Narnia definitely fairs better than the last one, Prince Caspian, but it still can't hold a candle to the first Narnia movie

2/4
Love & Other Drugs (2010) Kit Bowen Remember the game of reading fortune cookie proclamations out loud and ending them with the phrase 'in bed'? That's sort of how I feel Love and Other Drugs ended many scenes--in bed.

Inception (2010) Kit Bowen The ending will leave you debating in that glass half-full, half-empty kind of way. Let's just say, it's a movie that needs to be seen more than once.

3/4
Despicable Me (2010) Kit Bowen Despicable Me follows a tried and true formula of good story decent animation = entertaining family film. But it isn't quite up to Pixar quality.

The Karate Kid (2010) Kit Bowen The film does a nice job re-envisioning the '80s cult classic, thanks in large part to the new Kid, Jaden Smith.

4/4
Toy Story 3 (2010) Kit Bowen It doesn't try to surpass its predecessors but simply continues the story in such a wonderful, natural progression that it melds with ease into the brilliance that is the Toy Story lore.

3/4
Get Him to the Greek (2010) Kit Bowen Get yourself to see the Greek. It's raunchy, tasteless, hilarious, and surprisingly poignant (at times).
Posted Jun 04, 2010  Edit critic review
2/4
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Kit Bowen Prince of Persia is the sort of popcorn-eating, mindless actioner you'd expect for the summer, made only slightly more appealing by Jake Gyllenhaal's performance.

MacGruber (2010) Kit Bowen You're in good shape if you don't demand much from your comedies.

Iron Man 2 (2010) Kit Bowen It'd be difficult for any additional Iron Man incarnation to surpass the original, but Iron Man 2 is a worthy follow-up.
