Review of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 22 Aug 2013

These kids have to contrive magical pretexts just to lay hands on each other, and boy, are their excuses rotten…

Review of Drew: The Man Behind the Poster (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Aug 2013

Despite its title, Drew: The Man Behind the Poster is not a documentary about movie poster artist Drew Struzan…

Review of Vixen! (1968)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Aug 2013

Stands as a prime example of Meyer's infantile and sometimes disarmingly protean perversity…

Review of The Smurfs 2 (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 31 Jul 2013

Reluctant parents: you don't need to tell your kids that you won't love them if they like The Smurfs 2…

Review of The Conjuring (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 18 Jul 2013

The Conjuring is as toothless as it is because it's two different kinds of boring…

Review of Beneath (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 18 Jul 2013

Ultimately, Beneath is better than your average Roger Corman clone because it is more serious than trivial…

Review of Beneath (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 17 Jul 2013

Ultimately, Beneath is better than your average Roger Corman clone because it is more serious than trivial…

Review of How to Make Money Selling Drugs (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for The Playlist (3,871) on 27 Jun 2013

When Drugs is firing on all cylinders, it feels as if you're in a room with these people, just listening to one crazy story after another…

Review of Pain & Gain (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 10 Jun 2013

As ambitious and vibrant as it is ugly and scattershot, Pain & Gain is the most charming Michael Bay movie in a long while…

Review of The Purge (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 06 Jun 2013

Instead of being a creepy B-movie about the necessity of suppressing one's animalistic urges, The Purge is just an uninspired film…

Review of Go Goa Gone (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 May 2013

Most jokes don't translate very well in Go Goa Gone, a Bollywood horror comedy influenced by Shaun of the Dead…

Review of Shootout at Wadala (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 May 2013

No amount of hyper-stylized, Guy Ritchie–inspired posturing can save a film whose lead antihero is so unrepentantly vile…

Review of Arthur Newman (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for The Playlist (3,871) on 23 Apr 2013

This is not the stuff of stirring humanist drama, but rather a bland scenario about boring people that want to mature but have no idea how…

Review of Tai Chi Hero (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Apr 2013

This sequel is sluggish and rote where its predecessor was aggressively perky and desperate to please...Tai Chi Hero is more Tai Chi Business…

Review of The Lords of Salem (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 17 Apr 2013

A genuinely nasty and disturbing piece of work, but its cumulative nerve-shredding effect is not just the product of effective direction…

Review of Nautanki Saala! (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Apr 2013

Nautanki Saala's creators spend so much time disinterestedly transitioning from one plot point to the next that they only effectively establish…

Review of The Angels' Share (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for The Playlist (3,871) on 09 Apr 2013

Some good laughs and a passable air of bonhomie do nothing to cover up the fact that The Angels' Share is totally lightweight and distractingly…

Review of Chashme Baddoor (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Apr 2013

Chashme Baddoor's modest charms dissipate quickly, but they're certainly real…

Review of Simon Killer (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 03 Apr 2013

A relentless and largely unrewarding descent into an ostensibly personal hell…

Review of Upstream Color (2013)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 02 Apr 2013
