Review of Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Mar 2013

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 18 Feb 2013

As smart and stylish as one would expect, but like Soderbergh's other recent artsy genre essays - 'Haywire,' 'Contagion' - its duller than…

Review of Bullet to the Head (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Feb 2013

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 25 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 25 Jan 2013

Review of Cloud Atlas (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Jan 2013

Review of The Impossible (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Jan 2013
