Review of Hotel Transylvania (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Philadelphia City Paper (235) on 26 Sep 2012

It's not a satisfying whole, but parts are sheer delight…

Review of Backwards (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 19 Sep 2012

Thomas, credited as writer, producer, and executive producer, is the obvious auteur, orchestrating a star vehicle she lacks the screen presence…

Review of The American (2010)

By Sam Adams (514) for Salon.com (2,725) on 09 Sep 2012

What redeems the movie, and then some, is the soulful weariness of Clooney's performance, which is in some ways an earthier and less glib version…

Review of Detropia (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Sep 2012

The movie's attempt to position Detroit as the canary in the coal mine - there but for the grace of God goes any other city - falls flat, but…

Review of Keep the Lights On (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Sep 2012

Keep The Lights On feels less like a memoir than a collage made from diary scraps, evocative but not prescriptive…

Review of Sacrifice (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Jul 2012

Chen can't seem to decide whether he's making a fable or something more down-to-earth, but Sacrifice works either way, if not both at once…

Review of Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 11 Jul 2012

Continental Drift feels less like an extension of a theatrical franchise than an episode of a middling TV cartoon, lolling around on territory…

Review of The Magic of Belle Isle (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 04 Jul 2012

For a movie that spends so much time extolling the virtues of the imagination to show so little of its own is more than ironic - it's offensive…

Review of Crazy Eyes (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jul 2012

Sherman's feature turns out to be enamored of the kind of reality that gets left out of movies not because it's provocative or controversial,…

Review of The Pact (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Time Out (7,510) on 02 Jul 2012

Lotz's grudging fortitude provides enough engagement to let you overlook the cracks in the film's facade, but when she cedes the screen to…

Review of Neil Young Journeys (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 27 Jun 2012

The heart of any concert movie is the concert itself, and in the case of Neil Young Journeys, it's a great one…

Review of Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Jun 2012

It's a tribute to Plaza and Duplass that they're able to make such slight material resonate at all, let alone with the poignancy they occasionally…

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 06 Jun 2012

Unlike any of the sequels between it and the original, Prometheus is a horror movie first and foremost, gnawing at subconscious terrors even…

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

By Sam Adams (514) for Time Out (7,510) on 04 Jun 2012

Madagscar 3 is less interested in plucking the last bit of meat off the series's bones than with simply picking the lowest-hanging fruit…

Review of The Intouchables (2011)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 May 2012

Sy and Cluzet give their parts more conviction than they deserve, even when the former is forced to re-enact the falsetto-singing-in-the-bubblebath…

Review of The Samaritan (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 May 2012

It's difficult to describe The Samaritan, in which Samuel L…

Review of The Road (2011)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 09 May 2012

The Road spends most of its time going in circles, working and reworking a small set of potent images…

Review of Portrait of Wally (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 May 2012

Portrait Of Wally tells a gripping story, but the filmmakers should have been more forthright about their own part in it…

Review of The Last Station (2009)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 May 2012

Little more than a gilded trifle, though it offers its share of light enjoyments…

Review of Boy (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Philadelphia City Paper (235) on 02 May 2012

Rolleston's winning presence doubtless has much to do with the fact that Boy is a record-breaking hit in its home country, but there's some…
