Killing Them Softly (2012) |
"
Movies like this frustrate me. There are many moments of genius to be found here, but the movie is just too uneven for me to recommend as a whole."

Hitchcock (2012) |
"
It's a well crafted, marvelously acted, fun piece of fluff. It may not be the best film of the year, but it's certainly one of the most watchable, anchored by a stunning performance by Hopkins. "

Silver Linings Playbook (2012) |
"
Now, this isn't your typical rom-com. This doesn't have Sandra Bullock acting like an idiot for 90 minutes. This is a smart, edgy, brutally honest romance that will shake you up, but will have you hoping these characters will end up with each other."

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) |

These movies have become one big joke, with hokey acting, slapdash visuals and Kindergarten dialogue. It felt like such a parody that it might as well have been directed by those jerks who made DISASTER MOVIE and EPIC MOVIE."
