Review of Boy (2010)

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…

Review of The Deep Blue Sea (1994)

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

Terence Davies doesn't make movies so much as he makes moods, languorous explorations of time and space that coalesce like a cloud of fragrant smoke…

Review of Sound of My Voice (2011)

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

Review of The Kid with a Bike (2011)

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

Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne make great movies with such regularity they can be easy to overlook, but The Kid With a Bike puts just enough…

Review of Safe (2012)

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

The character-building is proffered in bad faith, like every scene in Safe that doesn't involve bloodshed…

Review of 96 Minutes (2011)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 25 Apr 2012

Lagos draws strong performances from her young cast, as well as David Oyelowo, who plays Ross' uncle and guardian, but they don't have much…

Review of Headhunters (2011)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Apr 2012

Headhunters' title rapidly turns literal, and what seemed like a lightweight heist thriller careens into a bloody-minded game of cat and mouse…

Review of The Giant Mechanical Man (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Total Film (3,532) on 23 Apr 2012

Kirk, who wed Fischer in 2010, perfectly captures her all-thumbs charm, and ubiquitous character actor Messina steps into the lead with ease,…

Review of To the Arctic 3D (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Time Out (7,510) on 16 Apr 2012

Somebody give Werner Herzog an IMAX camera already, and let's see what a real filmmaker does with the format…

Review of Life, Love, Soul (2012)

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

Writer-director Noel Calloway's debut Life, Love, Soul has its heart in the right place. Unfortunately, nothing else is…

Review of Unraveled (2012)

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

If Simon's hands-off approach precludes a thorough stock-taking of Dreier's misdeeds - numbers alone hardly tell the full story - the movie's…

Review of Touchback (2011)

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

Entering the minor canon of movies named after sports regulations - move over, Offside…

Review of Damsels in Distress (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Apr 2012

Stillman too often substitutes pith for insight, until even that is drowned out by the sound of him chortling into his sleeve…

Review of The Hunter (2012)

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

The movie fumbles badly when it's time to turn those actions toward resolution, forcing an ending that seems both arbitrary and cruel…

Review of Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 31 Mar 2012
