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

By Thedrauch (61) on 05 Dec 2012

Review of Life of Pi (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 24 Nov 2012

Review of Safe (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 24 Nov 2012

I found 'Safe' to be a competently made action thriller that fully lives up to it's name; the film plays it way too safe…

Review of Take This Waltz (2011)

By Thedrauch (61) on 07 Nov 2012

While nowhere near exhibiting the same level of maturity and insight displayed in her directorial debut, Sarah Polley's 'Take This Waltz' solidifies…

Review of Gone (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 03 Nov 2012

A bland, uninspired psychological thriller that has Amanda Seyfried trapped in a role that I consistently couldn't take seriously…

Review of A Thousand Words (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 03 Nov 2012

An embarrassingly unfunny, desperate attempt at building on Eddie Murphy's return to form in last year's 'Tower Heist', A Thousand Words is…

Review of The Lucky One (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 01 Nov 2012

I must begin by officially apologizing to the early 2012 Sparks-esque release…

Review of Joyful Noise (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 27 Oct 2012

A mild blend of Glee and fundamental christian values, 'Joyful Noise' will fail to satisfy either parties that would be willing to see it…

Review of The Secret World of Arrietty (2010)

By Thedrauch (61) on 27 Oct 2012

Another Ghibli success comes in the form of 'The Secret World of Arrietty', a heartwarming and gorgeously animated entry into the studio's…

Review of Man on a Ledge (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 26 Oct 2012

An infuriatingly unoriginal and bland caper film where we have seen every single plot twist before and in better movies where character pathos…

Review of American Reunion (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 16 Oct 2012

Going into 'American Reunion' never having seen any of the previous films in the series I can still sense that the franchise is feeling its…

Review of Nobody Walks (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 14 Oct 2012

A dramatically unengaging mainstream blend of mumblecore ideas, 'Nobody Walks' features some top-notch performances from the all around cast,…

Review of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 14 Oct 2012

A pleasant if conventional crowd-pleaser that makes great use of its seven experienced lead actors, 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' is an…

Review of Battleship (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 01 Oct 2012

Though 'Battleship' wasn't the cinematic abortion I anticipated it to be (it's more like a cinematic miscarriage), it remains an unoriginal,…

Review of Damsels in Distress (2012)

By Thedrauch (61) on 29 Sep 2012

A particularly quirky comedy that has a beat every bit it's own, the most obvious comparison of style I could make is to that of Woody Allen's…
