42-Front

42: At least a base hit, maybe even a double

42 is a sports movie that will make you feel sports emotions–for better or worse.

Stoker-Front

Stoker: Not a vampire movie

A vampire movie might have been less terrifying.

SpringBreakers-Front

Spring Breakers: An exact, scale reproduction of Florida

Just when you thought James Franco was irredeemable, here comes Spring Breakers blowin’ minds!

DSBEJ-Front

Don’t Stop Believin’: That this film will eventually catch on

A mildly compelling story about a talented singer from Manila. Oh, plus you get to hear a bunch of Journey songs?

Oz-Front

Oz the Great and Powerful: neither great nor powerful

Minus the bad acting and weak script, Oz is a pretty mediocre film.

SideEffects-Front

Side Effects: May cause surprise, despair, dry mouth, and diarrhea

Side Effects is director Steven Soderbergh’s final feature film, and it focuses on depression (and Channing Tatum).

Amour-Front

Amour: Greetings from Hell

This French film is nominated for Best Picture. Ummm…that’s about the only cheerful thing about it.

WarmBodies-Front

Warm Bodies: Man is the real…wait, no, skeletons are the real monster

Just when you thought we’d plumbed the depths of the paranormal teen romance Warm Bodies hits a theatre near you!

Redemption & Open Heart: Short films about long lives

Two great short films at one great tiny theater.

Quartet-Front

Quartet: Giving up on life in Downton Abbey

Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut paints a (unintentionally) bleak view of growing older.
