8/10
Gone Girl (2014) Nick Nunziata It's a cheeseburger treated like a filet and it's a film that'll stick with you thanks to clever sleight of hand and a few moments that beg for a revisit.

3/5
Thor: The Dark World (2013) Nick Nunziata See it with your kids. See it with your friends. See it with your parents. There are few surer bets at the multiplex.

Riddick (2013) Nick Nunziata It's Twohy and Diesel having fun and when it's great through fun dialogue or a great kill it builds a lot of mileage for the lesser moments.
Posted Sep 06, 2013  Edit critic review
Stoker (2013) Devin Faraci A movie that feels elegantly transgressive and viscerally exciting. A wonderful, menacing and sexy thriller.

3/5
Phantom (2013) Nick Nunziata Here's the big ugly secret about Phantom. It's good.

1/5
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2012) Nick Nunziata There's probably a really fresh and fun movie a rewrite or edit away. It's just not here.

3/5
The Last Stand (2013) Nick Nunziata The Last Stand is fun. And that's enough.
Posted Jan 16, 2013  Edit critic review
2/5
Broken City (2013) Nick Nunziata Not meaty enough or unique enough to register as anything other than a couple of hours of unspectacular cinema.
Posted Jan 16, 2013  Edit critic review
2/5
Promised Land (2012) Nick Nunziata Promised Land is harmless but not compelling enough to warrant major attention.
Posted Jan 14, 2013  Edit critic review
2/5
John Dies at the End (2012) Nick Nunziata Trained eyes will see the great movie a few million bucks away from reality
Posted Jan 12, 2013  Edit critic review
3/5
The Impossible (2012) Nick Nunziata The tsunami is easily more effective than anything to come out of a Roland Emmerich disaster sequence.
Posted Jan 12, 2013  Edit critic review
3/5
Gangster Squad (2013) Nick Nunziata Sean Penn's performance alone makes the film worth seeing.
Posted Jan 12, 2013  Edit critic review
1/5
Texas Chainsaw (2013) Nick Nunziata Leatherface is a loser.
Posted Jan 12, 2013  Edit critic review
Zero Dark Thirty (2012) Devin Faraci This is a movie created completely on its own terms, forged by the belief that audiences can pay attention, that audiences don't need everything spoonfed, that truth is just as exciting as fiction when presented well.
Posted Dec 07, 2012  Edit critic review
4/5
Skyfall (2012) Nick Nunziata Though there are a few hiccups Skyfall is a beautiful and mature 007 film.
Posted Nov 08, 2012  Edit critic review
8/10
The Master (2012) Nick Nunziata A difficult, interesting, odd, frustrating, and oftentimes majestic experience.
Posted Sep 23, 2012  Edit critic review
The Bourne Legacy (2012) Devin Faraci The film, while echoing The Bourne Identity, is adequate enough (not the highest praise, I know) and creates enough space for itself to warrant further adventures.
Posted Aug 07, 2012  Edit critic review
1/5
Total Recall (2012) Nick Nunziata The amount of lens flares in this movie is awe inspiring.
Posted Aug 03, 2012  Edit critic review
2/5
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Nick Nunziata A messy collection of ideas.
Posted Jun 30, 2012  Edit critic review
2/5
The Hunger Games (2012) Nick Nunziata The Hunger Games is a mess.
Posted Mar 23, 2012  Edit critic review
3/5
Rampart (2011) Nick Nunziata Rampart is the Shame of police movies.
Posted Feb 25, 2012  Edit critic review
Young Adult (2011) Devin Faraci Wickedly funny, the kind of semi-dark comedy that really gets right up to the line of mean-spiritedness.
Posted Dec 23, 2011  Edit critic review
The Muppets (2011) Devin Faraci I don't know why The Muppets faded away over the last couple of decades, but [this film] proves that they still have plenty of heart and smart-assness to give to a new generation and beyond.
Posted Nov 21, 2011  Edit critic review
2/5
The Thing (2011) Nick Nunziata It's not a prequel as much as it is a lamprey, trying its best to nuzzle up to greatness.
Posted Oct 13, 2011  Edit critic review
4/5
Moneyball (2011) Nick Nunziata Moneyball secretly injects the magic of baseball by way of laughs, tension, and really great dialogue.
Posted Sep 20, 2011  Edit critic review
1/5
Conan the Barbarian (2011) Nick Nunziata It's not a legit pulp movie. It's not a legit genre movie. It's not even a guilty pleasure.
Posted Aug 18, 2011  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Nick Nunziata The production design is fantastic, the period setting works, and there's enough charm to allow the film to feel unique enough to justify its existence.
Posted Jul 25, 2011  Edit critic review
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) Devin Faraci It's completely satisfying on the level of an FX-driven summer blockbuster. But most importantly it's satisfying on the level of a great drama.
Posted Jul 14, 2011  Edit critic review
9/10
Horrible Bosses (2011) Nick Nunziata Add Horrible Bosses to the list of absolutely great comedies we've been given in the past ten years.
Posted Jul 06, 2011  Edit critic review
Horrible Bosses (2011) Devin Faraci It could almost be argued that Horrible Bosses' general middle of the road, vanilla, just-good-enough nature is actually on purpose, a reflection of the lead characters' own qualities.
Posted Jul 06, 2011  Edit critic review
Bad Teacher (2011) Devin Faraci It feels like Bad Teacher is crossing a line, and not just by a toe but hurdling all the way across. Good for everybody involved.
Posted Jun 24, 2011  Edit critic review
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) Devin Faraci Pirates 4 is the epitome of lazy filmmaking, a movie without a single clever moment, without the least bit of inspiration. It's a paint by numbers film, charmless and witless.
Posted May 16, 2011  Edit critic review
Bridesmaids (2011) Devin Faraci Is this the female version of The Hangover? No - Bridesmaids is much funnier and way more heartfelt and human than that film.
Posted May 13, 2011  Edit critic review
Thor (2011) Devin Faraci As great as Hemsworth and Hiddleston are, they cannot overcome the film's flaws. All they can do is drag THOR up from awful to fairly tolerable.
Posted May 04, 2011  Edit critic review
Fast Five (2011) Devin Faraci This is what a summer movie should be - knowingly silly, fun, light, thrilling, packed with real stunts and not-so-subtle gayness.
Posted Apr 29, 2011  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Fast Five (2011) Nick Nunziata It's the PG-13 Bad Boys 2. Coming from me that's a big compliment.
Posted Apr 28, 2011  Edit critic review
Scream 4 (2011) Devin Faraci If you ask someone 'What's your favorite scary movie?' and they answer Scream 4, they are a ****ing ***hole.
Posted Apr 16, 2011  Edit critic review
Hanna (2011) Devin Faraci HANNA is the sort of movie that gives you faith in action films as not just ass-kicking or fun rides but as actual cinema
Posted Apr 08, 2011  Edit critic review
Insidious (2010) Devin Faraci Mixing POLTERGEIST with Disney's Haunted Mansion ride, a staggeringly disappointing and silly second half mars INSIDIOUS' strong, scary first half.
Posted Mar 31, 2011  Edit critic review
Sucker Punch (2011) Devin Faraci The action in the film is thrilling and next level, the design of the world is incredible and gorgeous and the themes are deep, dark and haunting; an incredibly flawed piece of ambitious art that dazzles and excites.
Posted Mar 24, 2011  Edit critic review
The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) Devin Faraci There's nothing that gets you more juiced than a good story well told, with strong characters well acted, and that's what The Lincoln Lawyer offers up.
Posted Mar 18, 2011  Edit critic review
Paul (2011) Devin Faraci Paul's a road movie where the joy of hanging out with the characters is half the point, and these are characters that would be fun to revisit again and again.
Posted Mar 18, 2011  Edit critic review
3/5
Limitless (2011) Nick Nunziata It's well made, filled with interesting ideas, and just odd enough so that it'll once again prevent Neil Burger from becoming a Hollywood darling.
Posted Mar 17, 2011  Edit critic review
Rango (2011) Devin Faraci Rango is the most beautiful animated film since the golden age of hand-drawn cartoons. Shame that the movie has no heart beneath all that beauty, though.
Posted Mar 01, 2011  Edit critic review
Hall Pass (2011) Devin Faraci The directors who once pushed boundaries with KINGPIN and THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY now defend them in HALL PASS.
Posted Feb 25, 2011  Edit critic review
Drive Angry (2011) Devin Faraci There's a lot of balls in Drive Angry, and even some brains, but no heart
Posted Feb 25, 2011  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Drive Angry (2011) Nick Nunziata Bats--- insanity is a virtue in the case of this movie
Posted Feb 25, 2011  Edit critic review
Unknown (2011) Devin Faraci Sometimes Unknown's tongue is so firmly in cheek that the audience doesn't even realize there's a joke happening.
Posted Feb 18, 2011  Edit critic review
The Eagle (2011) Devin Faraci THE EAGLE is a movie that should be better, that has a chance to be something unique and awesome, but ultimately stumbles.
Posted Feb 11, 2011  Edit critic review
Sanctum (2011) Devin Faraci SANCTUM is a soggy, shouty bit of fun.
