Review of Fast & Furious (2009)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 Apr 2013

Review of State of Play (2009)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 Apr 2013

Though solidly plotted and executed all around, the film, too, feels like a quaint relic from another era, aping the form of journalistic thrillers…

Review of Swimfan (2002)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Apr 2013

At least Christensen seems to have the right idea: She gives her character a look that's part lust, part thousand-yard stare, and part Machiavelli…

Review of Oblivion (2013)

By Aaron Franco (1) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Apr 2013

Review of State Property (2002)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Apr 2013

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Apr 2013

At least there’s plenty to look at among Selick’s beautifully detailed characters, who each have expressive bodies and their own ways of moving…

Review of City Island (2009)

By Sam Adams (514) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Apr 2013

The movie too often equates drama with volume, and agita with authenticity…

Review of Saint Ralph (2005)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Apr 2013

Scott can invest just about any scene with heft and intelligence, but neither the material nor his co-star give him much help…

Review of To the Wonder (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Apr 2013

Still, there’s no doubt that To The Wonder is a fans-only proposition, continuing Malick’s evolution (or devolution, for some) from the…

Review of Perfect Stranger (2007)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Apr 2013

When the left-field ending finally arrives, it explains a lot, including why she's so off-putting and histrionic, but it never really explains…

Review of Trance (2013)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Apr 2013

Narratively, Trance is questionable, but Boyle and Hodges whisk past all the unlikely developments with enough verve and style to keep audiences…

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Apr 2013

Review of Evil Dead (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Apr 2013

While Raimi’s Stooges aesthetic — which was really more prominently displayed in the sequels than in 1981’s The Evil Dead — isn’t…

Review of The Joneses (2010)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Mar 2013

Review of Welcome to the Punch (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Mar 2013

Writer-director Eran Creevy demonstrates little facility for kineticism — one of the movie’s best scenes gets flat-out ruined when he abruptly…

Review of The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Mar 2013

Review of Detour (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Mar 2013

Review of Wrong (2013)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Mar 2013
