Review of Gangster Squad (2013)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 07 Jan 2013

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 16 Dec 2012

Review of The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 02 Dec 2012

For a man who makes his living as a performer and a wordsmith, the writing and acting of this rapper turned filmmaker both leave a lot to be desired…

Review of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 28 Nov 2012

Review of Skyfall (2012)

Review of Killing Them Softly (2012)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 14 Nov 2012

The message is so unrelenting that it soon drowns out all the films' strengths in an ocean of fashionable nihilism and socially conscious outrage…

Review of Flight (2012)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 27 Oct 2012

Review of The Paperboy (2012)

By Tom Clift (226) for Moviedex (362) on 07 Oct 2012

Lewd, ludicrous and utterly convinced of its own gritty artistic merit, The Paperboy's closest cinematic cousin may very well be Paul Verhoeven's…

Review of The Impossible (2012)
