Review of A Haunted House (1975)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for AV Club (2,778) on 11 Jan 2013

If the sluggishly paced, virtually laugh-free Haunted House is Wayans' conception of a passion-fueled labor of love, it's horrifying to ponder…

Review of Struck by Lightning (2013)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for AV Club (2,778) on 10 Jan 2013

Lightning is a funny, fast-moving movie, packed with barbed one-liners, goofy hyperbole, and all the oversized exasperation of teen angst…

Review of Tabu (2012)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 27 Dec 2012

Like other great pastiche artists, Gomes has created a time machine to a cinematic era that never quite existed, so it feels simultaneously…

Review of Jack Reacher (2012)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2012

Jack Reacher isn't much of a man, and Jack Reacher isn't the story of a man. It's mythmaking for self-satisfied sociopaths…

Review of On the Road (2012)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2012

Since there's no plot, just a series of anecdotes, much of the meaning in the movie version of On The Road is meta-textual, relying on the…

Review of Barbara (2012)

By Sam Adams (514) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2012

Petzold handles personal, formal, and political concerns in such perfect balance, it's difficult, and not especially desirable, to separate…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2012

A few broadly comic moments aside, This Is 40 also captures the rhythms and concerns of real life in ways that slicker Hollywood comedies don't…

Review of The Guilt Trip (2012)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for AV Club (2,778) on 19 Dec 2012

Though intermittently bathed in a halo of golden light and desired by at least one handsome, distinguished older man with a thing for mature…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for AV Club (2,778) on 13 Dec 2012

Review of The Rabbi's Cat (2011)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Dec 2012

While the scenes don't always fit together thematically or tonally, each one is its own polished gem…

Review of Deadfall (2012)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Dec 2012

The best parts of Deadfall are absorbed into a scenario that frequently ditches the cat-and-mouse routine and tries instead to be about three…

Review of Cheerful Weather for the Wedding (2012)

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

Without a source as rich as Jane Austen to draw on, Cheerful Weather feels incomplete, caroming off previous stories without forging its own way…

Review of The Collection (2012)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for AV Club (2,778) on 29 Nov 2012

Review of Killing Them Softly (2012)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 29 Nov 2012

For a genre film, Killing Them Softly goes to an awfully strange, none-too-subtle place, but the choice to move the '08 election from background…
