Posted Sep 08, 2014  Edit critic review
The Double (2013) Rob Humanick Despite its pleasures, the film proves ultimately little more than an echo, forgoing a thorough exploration of its themes for a more literal approach that treads close to lip service.
Posted Aug 25, 2014  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 12, 2014  Edit critic review
Locke (2013) Rob Humanick Hardy's introspective intensity helps to achieve and sustain and level of intimacy that's more thrilling than many films with 100 times the budget.
Posted Aug 11, 2014  Edit critic review

Ernest & Celestine (2012) Rob Humanick Were the film made 30 years ago, it would be the kind many families would have worn thin from endless VHS repeats. I can't wait to watch it again.
Posted Jun 16, 2014  Edit critic review
Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Rob Humanick This film would have been well-made regardless of its casting, but the pairing of Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt is an inspired one.
Posted Jun 12, 2014  Edit critic review
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Rob Humanick Suggests someone painting by numbers with Herculian intensity, and the effect is hollow and dispassionate.
Posted Jul 07, 2013  Edit critic review
