Review of Side Effects (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Review of Man of Steel (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Review of Promised Land (2012)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Review of Gangster Squad (2013)

Review of Admission (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

It is neither a broad comedy nor a dopey rom-com; it's actually, surprisingly enough, a seriocomic drama in something resembling the Alexander…

Review of Pain & Gain (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Review of Don Jon (2013)

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

It's a headache-inducing mishmash of waving curtains, hyperactive fades, aggressive zooms, and Baz basically just throwing things at the lens…

Review of Fast Five (2011)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Each movie has two very good action scenes, usually at either end, but then about an hour and a half of the most asinine tough-guy nonsense…

Review of The Bling Ring (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Coppola gives the events a bubbly potency, drawn to the attractive, greedy foolishness of the characters…

Review of The World's End (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016
