3/4
Song of the South (1946) Phil Villarreal It's a complicated and challenging film that deserves discussion rather than burial.

3/4
Entourage (2015) Phil Villarreal To like Entrouage is to embrace its solipsistic bubbleworld, in which everyone is rich and fulfilled and their only problems are fleeting worries.

3.5/4
Gone Girl (2014) Phil Villarreal Of all David Fincher's accomplishments as a director, he may pull off his most impressive feat of all in Gone Girl -- getting Tyler Perry nominated for an Oscar.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) Phil Villarreal Has me Done with the Planet of the Apes.

22 Jump Street (2014) Phil Villarreal The only problem is, the doubts the characters jokingly express turn out to be all too valid.

Maleficent (2014) Phil Villarreal There's nothing much here for those outside the PG Disney Princess-aimed target market to sink their horns into.

Filth (2013) Phil Villarreal There's nothing much here for those outside the PG Disney Princess-aimed target market to sink their horns into.

Blended (2014) Phil Villarreal The movie treats Africa as though it were a single resort town populated by white people who sit down at buffets while black people stay out of the way and entertain them.

1.5/4
Million Dollar Arm (2014) Phil Villarreal Million Dollar Arm spoils the Disney sports movie hot streak with the vengeance that David Ortiz does no-hitters.
Posted May 16, 2014  Edit critic review
1.5/4
The Quiet Ones (2014) Phil Villarreal There are also way too many cheap shock scares meant to make you giggle at yourself.

3.5/4
Transcendence (2014) Phil Villarreal Pfister proves to be as clever a storyteller as he is a painter of moving pictures.

1.5/4
Draft Day (2014) Phil Villarreal At least the movie absolutely nails the dysfunctional, pathetic execution of the Cleveland Browns' front office.

2.5/4
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Phil Villarreal It takes a Captain America - level super bladder to make it through the film.

1.5/4
Noah (2014) Phil Villarreal You get the feeling that those rock monsters, which inevitably all perish before the flood finishes its punishment, got off easier than the survivors.

2/4
Divergent (2014) Phil Villarreal Hopefully, Burger has the good sense to bail before he does any further damage.

1/4
Need for Speed (2014) Phil Villarreal In Paul's glowering eyes you can sense a need for not only speed, but a better agent.
Posted Mar 14, 2014  Edit critic review
2/4
300: Rise of an Empire (2014) Phil Villarreal The filmmakers copy the look and style of the original, but important elements such as plot or a coherent story get lost in translation.
Posted Mar 07, 2014  Edit critic review
1/4
Pompeii (2014) Phil Villarreal If you find yourself sucked into a showing of Pompeii, take the sage wisdom of the band Pompeii and just close your eyes. Some ear plugs wouldn't hurt either.

1.5/4
About Last Night (2014) Phil Villarreal The movie is bad enough to make David Mamet, who wrote the razor-sharp play that inspired the original movie, roll over in his piles of money.
Posted Feb 14, 2014  Edit critic review
1/4
The Monuments Men (2014) Phil Villarreal But nothing in this movie clicks, and as a result the tired affair seems to take longer than World War II itself.
Posted Feb 07, 2014  Edit critic review
1.5/4
That Awkward Moment (2014) Phil Villarreal They spend all their time obsessing and gabbing like giggly Babysitters Club girls about the opposite sex.
Posted Jan 31, 2014  Edit critic review
1/4
I, Frankenstein (2014) Phil Villarreal I, Frankenstein? More like Oy, Frakenstein.
Posted Jan 24, 2014  Edit critic review
2/4
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) Phil Villarreal Most importantly, who the hell is Jack Ryan?
Posted Jan 17, 2014  Edit critic review
1/4
The Legend of Hercules (2014) Phil Villarreal The strength they showed by managing to sit through this thing puts that of Herc to shame.
Posted Jan 10, 2014  Edit critic review
2/4
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) Phil Villarreal This one pulls out that trick a few times too many, robbing it of its effect and making the few scares worth waiting for more funny than shocking.
Posted Jan 03, 2014  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Grudge Match (2013) Phil Villarreal It's the promise of the final bout that lugs the deadweight story through the first 100-minute, sputtering tractor pull.
Posted Dec 26, 2013  Edit critic review
3.5/4
American Hustle (2013) Phil Villarreal The bra budget on this movie is exactly $0.
Posted Dec 20, 2013  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Saving Mr. Banks (2013) Phil Villarreal It does skew far darker than I ever could have hoped for, and in that way ends up becoming something halfway profound.
Posted Dec 12, 2013  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) Phil Villarreal The movie isn't awful, is sure to please no-standard fanatics and won't bore haters like myself.
Posted Nov 22, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
The To Do List (2013) Phil Villarreal Painfully awkward encounters ensue, with Plaza handling it all with her deadpan elegance.
Posted Nov 19, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
Breaking the Girls (2013) Phil Villarreal Gratuitous sex, double-crosses and more gratuitous sex await in the silly but always-entertaining sexcapade.
Posted Nov 19, 2013  Edit critic review
4/4
JFK (1991) Phil Villarreal It's damn entertaining and thought-provoking.
Posted Nov 12, 2013  Edit critic review
2/4
Thor: The Dark World (2013) Phil Villarreal This is a sequel that, compared to the original, is unequal, with pointless, dull CGI battles in Thor's pointless, dull outer realms.
Posted Nov 08, 2013  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Ender's Game (2013) Phil Villarreal Very much porn for video game addicts.
Posted Nov 01, 2013  Edit critic review
3.5/4
12 Years a Slave (2013) Phil Villarreal The film wants to hurt you, knows you are terrified of what it will show you, then shows you way more than you bargained for.
Posted Oct 30, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
The Counselor (2013) Phil Villarreal Take it all in and enjoy and worry about the counseling you'll need later.
Posted Oct 25, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
Escape Plan (2013) Phil Villarreal A relic the 80s, an action flick era well into its fourth decade.
Posted Oct 16, 2013  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Machete Kills (2013) Phil Villarreal This movie skips the grindhouse era and goes straight for the meth house dynamic.
Posted Oct 11, 2013  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Gravity (2013) Phil Villarreal It's a movie that's not afraid to go deep or stare blankly at you to see if it can get you to blink first.
Posted Oct 04, 2013  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Rush (2013) Phil Villarreal If you really hate sex, fast driving, drinking and Norse gods smoothing chassis than you will absolutely despise Rush.

1/4
The Family (2013) Phil Villarreal Remember the octopus that always picked the winners of soccer games? That's what Robert De Niro is, only his talent is always managing to choose horrible scripts.
Posted Sep 13, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
Riddick (2013) Phil Villarreal All hail Riddick, killer of everything that moves - poorly-drawn cartoon or not - sayer of smooth, t-shirt-worthy bravado and romancer of lesbian Starbuck.
Posted Sep 06, 2013  Edit critic review
1/4
Getaway (2013) Phil Villarreal The real getaway here was the one the filmmakers pulled on the studio, having heisted giant paychecks for minimal work or thought.
Posted Aug 30, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
The World's End (2013) Phil Villarreal There's not much more you can ask from a movie like this. It's a rare drinking comedy that doesn't require you to be drunk to enjoy it.
Posted Aug 23, 2013  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Kick-Ass 2 (2013) Phil Villarreal The sequel just brings back the survivors and has them look around with palms raised going 'now what?'
Posted Aug 16, 2013  Edit critic review
3/4
Planes (2013) Phil Villarreal There is much to hate about this movie. Far more than there is to love, in fact. But I appreciate the dangerous turn so much that the glee overtook the Dane Cook-baked misery.
Posted Aug 07, 2013  Edit critic review
2/4
2 Guns (2013) Phil Villarreal The movie has 2 Guns, all right, but nowhere to point them.
Posted Aug 02, 2013  Edit critic review
2/4
The Wolverine (2013) Phil Villarreal By the end of the movie, Wolverine sort of manages to convince you everything would be better if he found a way to go off and die like he wants to.

3.5/4
Pacific Rim (2013) Phil Villarreal Hopefully come Oscar time, the Kaiju are recognized for their outstanding performances in this high-class art film.
Posted Jul 12, 2013  Edit critic review
1.5/4
The Lone Ranger (2013) Phil Villarreal I'm all for senseless violence in movies, but there is so much death and destruction going on here, you start to wish something nice would happen for once.
