Review of Trance (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

Review of Fast Five (2011)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Jun 2016

Review of The World's End (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016

Review of Only God Forgives (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016

Only God Forgives' is a mess, an overly stylized and brutally violent mood piece with something to alienate everyone…

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016

For those of us who agree with Mel Brooks that there's something about this middle-aged bald guy that's thrilling, his new film is a high-spirited…

Review of Prisoners (2013)

Review of Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016

Review of Blue Caprice (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016

Review of Gravity (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016

Review of Passion (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Jun 2016
