Review of 42 (2013)

Review of The Heat (2006)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 06 Jan 2014

McCarthy's an actress who needs a foil, and for now Bullock is more than good enough. I just wish these two had found each other 10 years ago…

Review of Snitch (2013)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 06 Jan 2014

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 06 Jan 2014

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 03 Jan 2014

Review of The Butler (2013)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 03 Jan 2014

Review of Stoker (2013)

Review of Spring Breakers (2013)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 03 Jan 2014

Review of The Lone Ranger (2003)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 03 Jan 2014

This isn't the complete disaster of Wild Wild West, but that's only because none of the $250 million was spent to turn Kenneth Branagh into…
