Review of About Time (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 08 Nov 2013

Review of Enough Said (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 26 Sep 2013

Review of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 24 Sep 2013

Review of Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 19 Sep 2013

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 19 Sep 2013

Review of Only God Forgives (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 05 Sep 2013

Review of The Butler (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 15 Aug 2013

Review of The Hunt (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 15 Aug 2013

Review of R.I.P.D. (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 18 Jul 2013

It so shamelessly borrows from so many other movies, and then does absolutely nothing to add to them -- nothing to raise the bar, nothing to…

Review of The Hangover (2009)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 11 Jul 2013

It is classless, it is tasteless, it is idiotic, it is juvenile and it is something your mother totally wouldn't approve of…

Review of Maniac (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 28 Jun 2013

Review of The East (2013)

Review of Man of Steel (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 12 Jun 2013

So we get no zippy, Tony Stark-flavored one-liners. No comic-relief characters. No nonsense. But that means we also get no up, up and away, either…

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 11 Jun 2013
