Review of The Girl from the Naked Eye (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Jun 2012

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Jun 2012

Review of Carlito's Way (1993)

By Zach Campbell (8) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Jun 2012

Review of Tahrir: Liberation Square (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Jun 2012

Review of Extraterrestrial (2011)

By Calum Marsh (242) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Jun 2012

In almost every respect, Extraterrestrial is an exceptional and traditional romantic comedy. It just happens to be set during an alien invasion…

Review of The Stepford Wives (1975)

By Ed Gonzalez (1,102) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Jun 2012

Review of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012)

By Jaime N. Christley (95) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Jun 2012

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By John Semley (121) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Jun 2012

Review of Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Jun 2012

More focused on emotion than adventure, it teases out the possibilities and perils of time travel without embroiling itself in the confusion…

Review of Bel Ami (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Jun 2012

By Calum Marsh (242) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 May 2012
