Review of Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Wisconsin State Journal (24) on 29 Jul 2010

Review of Despicable Me (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 07 Jul 2010

Review of Ajami (2009)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 03 Jun 2010

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 03 Jun 2010

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 03 Jun 2010

Review of MacGruber (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 20 May 2010

Review of Letters to Juliet (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 13 May 2010

Review of The Art of the Steal (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 13 May 2010

Review of Robin Hood (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 13 May 2010

Taken on its own merits, Robin Hood is a handsomely made and entertaining movie that reworks the traditional Hood characters into a Braveheart-like…

Review of City Island (2009)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 29 Apr 2010

Review of The Joneses (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 14 Apr 2010

Ironically for a movie about people who eat, drink and breathe marketing, The Joneses is too much of a soft sell to close the deal…

Review of The Runaways (2010)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 08 Apr 2010

Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 28 Mar 2010
