Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 12 Jun 2014

A crazy, blood- and action-soaked piece of bravura filmmaking…

Review of The Patience Stone (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 27 Nov 2013

Exploitational eyes aside, Patience Stone can be pretty mesmerizing nonetheless, and it does anything but let the male breed off easy…

Review of Fruitvale Station (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 27 Nov 2013

Not just Jordan, but everyone from the likes of Octavia Spencer and Melonie Diaz to the crowd of BART-passenger bit players hit it convincingly,…

Review of The Way Way Back (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 27 Nov 2013

This coming-of-age comedy/drama rings emotionally false during many of its jacked-up, stacked-deck emotional confrontations and mistakes obnoxiousness…

Review of Monsters University (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 27 Nov 2013

This one feels flat in both the visual invention and gag departments, even in 3-D…

Review of The Spectacular Now (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 27 Nov 2013

But even when the tone gets a bit puritanical in the stretch, director James Ponsoldt's respect for his characters keeps things relatively…

Review of My Stolen Revolution (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

What emerges most remarkably from My Stolen Revolution is how consistently they all can still smile, even laugh, and clearly enjoy life now…

Review of August: Osage County (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

Put all these folks around a table with Streep's Violet at its head and you get what may be the finest dinner battles ever recorded…

Review of Congratulations! (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

Don't expect Mike Brune's well-controlled feature directing debut to satisfyingly solve the central mystery, but do look forward to strange…

Review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

A little less rhetoric and more natural-sounding dialogue would have been desirable…

Review of Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

Beautiful and atmospheric to the point of oxygen deprivation, Ain't Them Bodies Saints may have something to say about an outlaw couple's unbreakable…

Review of Congratulations (2012)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

Don't expect Mike Brune's well-controlled feature directing debut to satisfyingly solve the central mystery, but do look forward to strange…

Review of The Lunchbox (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

While films with this subject matter are often gooey at their core, The Lunchbox offers fully realized, tough-minded characters who just happen…

Review of Out of the Furnace (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

The whole thing is designed with a chipped paint and scraggly facial hair aesthetic…

Review of Philomena (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

Stephen Frears directed and he hasn't done anything this well, or well-balanced, since The Queen…

Review of The Missing Picture (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

You'll leave this film of clay with a healthy hatred of ideology, and that will make you feel more alive…

Review of Short Term 12 (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Nov 2013

There's a hilariously scatological tale told at the beginning, a sweetly uplifting one at the end, and in the middle a parable about a lonely…

Review of In a World... (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 15 Nov 2013

Actress Lake Bell's smart and funny feature-directing debut In a World…

Review of The Great Beauty (2013)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 14 Nov 2013

The comparisons to Fellini have been plentiful, but The Great Beauty is very much its own thing…

Review of Everlasting Moments (2008)
