Review of How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 26 Jun 2014

There's actually a point about 90 minutes in where things take a very dark turn, and I momentarily thought the movie was going to end on an…

Review of Jersey Boys (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 26 Jun 2014

Mamma mia! That's a spicy mélange of Italian stereotypes…

Review of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 26 Jun 2014

Congratulations, Denise Richards; you're no longer the most laughable movie scientist of all time…

Review of Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 05 Jun 2014

Certainly, the Fate of the World(tm) is at stake, but it says quite a bit about Liman and McQuarrie that they can still BeDazzle a frayed and…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 05 Jun 2014

Well-meaning sheep farmer runs afoul of ruthless gunfighter. Also, Neil Patrick Harris sh*ts in a hat…

Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Film Threat (5,156) on 26 May 2014

Isn't as dark or sinister as its source material, but it comes closer than any other filmed attempts to this point…

Review of Wolf Creek 2 (2013)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 May 2014

Wolf Creek 2 merely offers more of the same casual brutality. The only shocking (and depressing) part is how inured to it moviegoers have become…

Review of Half of a Yellow Sun (2013)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 May 2014

Biyi Bandele's Half of a Yellow Sun strikes an admirable balance between drama and history…

Review of Cleaner (2007)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Film Threat (5,156) on 12 May 2014

I humbly submit that Cedric the Entertainer be required to give up the Entertainer portion of his nom de plume until he actually starts entertaining…

Review of Neighbors (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 09 May 2014

So there's some welcome self-awareness among the copious weed smoking and dildo fights (Sentences I Never Thought I'd Write, #752 in a series)…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 02 May 2014

Electro is like the Rupert Pupkin of supervillains…

Review of Bears (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 24 Apr 2014

Much as I tried to avoid it, it was sometimes difficult to keep Werner Herzog's voice from creeping in over John C. Reilly's narration…

Review of Cheap Thrills (2013)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 10 Apr 2014

It's basic human nature to want to see others, even those closest to us, humiliate themselves in as spectacular a manner as possible…

Review of Oculus (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 10 Apr 2014

In that respect, Oculus makes cinematic history: the first known use of Chekhov's yacht anchor…

Review of Oculus (2013)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 10 Apr 2014

Review of Locker 13 (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Mar 2014

Locker 13 brings the hurt, and not in a good way…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 21 Mar 2014

[The] future Chicago depicted in the film, with its plentiful food, steady supply of electricity, and zip lines, often seems about as post-apocalyptic…

Review of Need for Speed (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 16 Mar 2014

Given the lack of established narrative, they could've just as easily called this Gran Turismo or Pole Position or f*cking Mario Kart…

Review of 300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 08 Mar 2014

I'm glad to see Eva Green was able to secure her usual contractual codicils for raccoon eye makeup and at least 30 seconds of bared breasts…

Review of First Descent (2005)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Film Threat (5,156) on 07 Mar 2014
