By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Oct 2012

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Oct 2012

The lo-fi visuals energize what otherwise would be a traditionally romantic saga of police sacrifice, heroism and tragedy…

Review of Sinister (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Oct 2012

Indebted to some welcome influences, including King ('The Shining') and Antonioni ('Blowup')…

Review of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Oct 2012

This typically frenetic but wearying series entry lacks the Looney Tunes efficiency of its predecessors…

Review of Searching for Sugar Man (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Oct 2012

Does a nice job of presenting the mystery and history of Rodriguez... but seems incomplete, and biased in favor of its predetermined narrative…

Review of House at the End of the Street (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Oct 2012

The screenplay has a nice twist that could have supported a stylish giallo-style thriller; unfortunately, director Mark Tonderai delivers a…

Review of Frankenweenie (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Oct 2012

Occasionally, the film feints in the direction of something deeper, and acknowledges the disturbing nature of its premise; in one very poignant…

Review of Hotel Transylvania (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 27 Sep 2012

Dracula's hotel may be in the Carpathian Mountains, but it might as well be in the Borscht Belt of the Catskills: As in many Sandler projects,…

Review of Killer Joe (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 27 Sep 2012

The scene with the fried chicken drumstick might cause Colonel Sanders to repurpose one of his famous buckets as a barf bag…

Review of Trouble with the Curve (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 20 Sep 2012

In the first scene in 'Trouble with the Curve,' Clint Eastwood talks to a table, a can of Spam and his penis. I never thought I'd miss that chair…

Review of Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 20 Sep 2012

Regurgitation' might be a more appropriate subtitle for this redundant fifth go-round…

Review of Compliance (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 20 Sep 2012

Its skillfully constructed scene-setting montages, its fraught, gliding camera moves and attractive compositions seem judgmental, suggesting…

The feisty actresses clearly relish their vivid roles…

Review of Lawless (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 16 Sep 2012

Review of Call Me Kuchu (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 16 Sep 2012

The documentary becomes something of a legal thriller as well as a crime story, with a denouement that is both shocking and inspiring: 'A luta…

Review of Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 16 Sep 2012

An amusing but innocuous movie that wants to be liked, loved, perhaps even hugged (Birbiglia isn't shy about exposing his love handles)…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 16 Sep 2012

No doubt this yarn enthralled Larry and Meg Kasdan's dinner guests, but onscreen the crisis seems dull and inconsequential, in part because…

Review of Robot & Frank (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 09 Sep 2012

This blend of sentiment and genre fancy is not unlike something Ray Bradbury might have contrived for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction…

Review of Cosmopolis (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 09 Sep 2012

A black comedy as dry and deadpan as a bleached skull…

Review of Neil Young Journeys (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 03 Sep 2012
