Review of Beautiful Creatures (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 14 Feb 2013

Review of No (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 14 Feb 2013

No signals a huge spurt in the filmmaker's growth…

Review of Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 09 Feb 2013

To fill the downtime between commercials, there's a fitfully entertaining adventure…

Review of Identity Thief (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 07 Feb 2013

Watch the trailer, if you must, but spare yourself the full experience: Identity Thief steals time…

Review of Side Effects (2015)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 07 Feb 2013

The film as a whole is consistently enjoyable and sometimes thrilling, a classic Soderbergh showcase for provocative storytelling and marvelous…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 07 Feb 2013

In another sense, though, everything is exactly what it seems, expertly crafted and cleverly compounded for high-dose entertainment…

Review of Lore (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 07 Feb 2013

The pace is deliberate, verging on slow — Australian filmmakers aren't keen on short takes or quick cuts — but the content is constantly…

Review of Bullet to the Head (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 31 Jan 2013

By the end I could have used a Bulleit to the mouth…

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 31 Jan 2013

It's long on Viagra jokes and whorehouse scenes, and comes up short on plausibility…

Review of The Gatekeepers (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 31 Jan 2013

The Israeli journalist Dror Moreh has hit a documentarian's trifecta with The Gatekeepers…

Review of American Gangster (2007)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 28 Jan 2013

In the end, though, the success of American Gangster doesn't flow from the originality of its ideas, or its bid for epic status, as much as…

Review of John Dies at the End (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 24 Jan 2013

Another is how the film manages, in the absence of a coherent plot, to be so funny and engaging until, somewhere around the midpoint, it goes…

Review of Glory Road (2006)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 23 Jan 2013

When a movie plays every card, it's bound to win a hand or two. You can't exactly call that approach craftsmanship…

Review of The Sapphires (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 22 Jan 2013

The Sapphires isn't flawless, but who cares? It's a joyous affair that's distinguished by its music, and by the buoyant spirit of its stars…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 21 Jan 2013

The drama is repetitive rather than resonant, an over-calculated, under-ventilated studio production -- even paranoid thrillers need to breathe…

Review of Parker (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Jan 2013

The essence of this grindingly violent movie can be summed up by what Parker says of his handgun to a terrified clerk at a check-cashing service…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 17 Jan 2013

The only reason to see this dreary parade of deception and venality is Mark Wahlberg's performance as a disgraced ex-cop caught up in the thick…

Review of Mama (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 17 Jan 2013

Mama itself is above average as a piece of filmmaking, even if its scare quotient is middling or below. That's OK with me…

Review of The Last Stand (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 17 Jan 2013

The movie comes up with a couple of tender moments that could pass for human, and a mano-a-mano climax in which the superhero of yore, the…

Review of Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 16 Jan 2013
