Review of The Wolverine (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Aug 2013

Review of Still Mine (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Aug 2013

Review of Lovelace (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Aug 2013

Review of Blackfish (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 07 Aug 2013

Whatever its flaws, 'Blackfish' seems likely to be the rare film that inspires real reform and that helps awaken viewers to their kinship and…

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 07 Aug 2013

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 31 Jul 2013

Review of Grown Ups 2 (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 31 Jul 2013

This Happy Madison remedial-school version of 'This Is 40' is as insane and dumbfounding and worthy of WTF mock-cult status as 'The Room' or…

Review of The Angels' Share (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 31 Jul 2013

As unlikely a fable of redemption as any that Hollywood might deliver, elevated by Loach's insistence on naturalism…

Review of Pacific Rim (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 28 Jul 2013

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 21 Jul 2013

Although a few white and male backup singers appear, the film becomes a de facto chronicle of the experiences of many African-American women…

Review of Sightseers (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Jul 2013
