Review of Chicago (2002)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Feb 2014

Review of The New Black (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Feb 2014

The film largely lacks the urgency its subject demands. It’s an extended news segment in the form of a feature film…

Review of Chicago (1927)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for AV Club (2,778) on 10 Feb 2014

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Feb 2014

Review of A Field in England (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Feb 2014

It’s the period itself that’s front and center here — not in the usual sense of historical accuracy, but as a sort of theater of the…

Review of The Monuments Men (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Feb 2014

The Monuments Men feels not just self-conscious but also a bit self-congratulatory, its creator squashing the spirit of adventure with too…

Review of Amadeus (1984)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for AV Club (2,778) on 04 Feb 2014

The superbly edited original version of Amadeus used overlapping sound cues for a lively flow between scenes, and the new version breaks up…

Review of A Beautiful Mind (2001)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 04 Feb 2014

It's not a crime for the script to gloss over the thornier aspects of Nash's story, but the film seems totally unconvincing, squeezing a real…

Review of Best Night Ever (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 30 Jan 2014

Likely to be appreciated only by homeless viewers who need a quiet place to nap during the cold months of winter, the movie has more awkward…

Review of That Awkward Moment (2014)

That Awkward Moment desperately wants to speak to a new generation of romantic-comedy devotees without proving it has the authority to do so…

Review of At Middleton (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 30 Jan 2014

Unremarkable, though hardly unpleasant, the middlebrow middle-age romance At Middleton often plays like a forgotten trifle from the Golden…

Review of I, Frankenstein (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 24 Jan 2014

If the film is made with the understanding that campiness needs to be straight-faced to be funny, then are its “unintentional” laughs really…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 Jan 2014

Movies about middle-aged women are so rare that it’s tempting to praise them on that basis alone…

Review of Visitors (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 Jan 2014

What’s hypnotic for five minutes at the Whitney Museum does not necessarily carry over to an 80-minute movie, and Visitors might conceivably…

Review of The Nut Job (2014)

By Kevin Mcfarland (13) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Jan 2014
