Review of All Is Lost (2013)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 16 Dec 2013

Review of Thor: The Dark World (2013)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 08 Nov 2013

A surprising lack of passion in this movie, as someone apparently mistook Dark World to mean Brooding, Lethargic World…

Review of The To Do List (2013)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 25 Jul 2013

Review of Fruitvale Station (2013)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 25 Jul 2013

Review of The Lone Ranger (1956)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 04 Jul 2013

Review of Despicable Me 2 (2013)

Review of White House Down (2013)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 04 Jul 2013

Review of The Bling Ring (2013)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 24 Jun 2013

Review of Man of Steel (2013)
