Review of Fading Gigolo (2013)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 30 Apr 2014

Review of Transcendence (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 16 Apr 2014

Review of Rio 2 (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 13 Apr 2014

Rio was pretty generic to begin with, and the follow-up doesn't fly far from the nest...[it's the] vocally virtuosic amorous aria, 'Poisonous…

Review of Draft Day (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 13 Apr 2014

This combo of 'inside football' and Capra-corn fable of being one's own man in the face of total opposition...amounts to a corporate training…

Review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 02 Apr 2014

Review of Bad Words (2013)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 26 Mar 2014

Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 20 Mar 2014

The state of the Muppet union remains strong...self-reference sits comfortably along hip pop-cultural references for the 'rents: stylish parodies…

Review of Need for Speed (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 15 Mar 2014

Review of 300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 05 Mar 2014

Both blood-bathetic and deliriously entertaining high camp...will appeal mainly to meatheads, but those with a tolerance for over-the-top violence…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 27 Feb 2014

Review of Pompeii (2014)

Review of Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 19 Feb 2014

Nervy and unnerving...arguably the purest expression of Allen's cinematic vision. [Blu-ray]…

Review of Foreign Correspondent (1940)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 18 Feb 2014

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 13 Feb 2014

Runs on Judeo-Christian good-versus-evil mythology and the firm belief that love conquers all, especially if you have a magic flying horse…

Review of The Monuments Men (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 06 Feb 2014
