By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Mar 2014

Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Mar 2014

Review of Kids for Cash (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Feb 2014

Review of 3 Days to Kill (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Feb 2014

Costner, by contrast, is too laidback to intimidate; he seems less battle-wearied than simply weary, nailing only half of the profitable “aging…

Review of About Last Night (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 13 Feb 2014

Review of The Monuments Men (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Feb 2014

The Monuments Men feels not just self-conscious but also a bit self-congratulatory, its creator squashing the spirit of adventure with too…

Review of Labor Day (2013)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jan 2014

Improbably, this saccharine melodrama comes courtesy of Jason Reitman, the Hollywood scion director who made Juno and Up In The Air…

Review of Big Bad Wolves (2013)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Jan 2014

Review of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2014

Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Dec 2013

Review of Lone Survivor (2013)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Dec 2013

Review of Herø (2001)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 18 Dec 2013

It's a melancholy comic fable about the here and now, thinly disguised as an outlandish vision of the there and later…

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Dec 2013

Review of Sound City (2013)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 16 Dec 2013

When getting into the nitty-gritty of tapes and tracks, Grohl makes a strong case for music docs directed by musicians…

Review of American Hustle (2013)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Dec 2013
