"The all-star cast turns in compelling performances, and the 'fly on the wall' nature of each tense scene allows the audience to truly feel the tremendous stress and gravity of the decisions being made (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"  

"This was the debut film of director Makoto Shinkai, and the high quality of the animation and his strength in using vibrant imagery to convey story comes alive in nearly every scene."  

"While the meta humor is refreshing compared to kids' entertainment that doesn't even bother trying to provide something for the adults watching, overall King Tweety is still a pretty standard story"  

"An entertaining South African take on the modern-day cop action movie (...) what emerges is a story that explores the idea of how what's right isn't always what's enforced by law and the system"  

"It's a very disorienting movie at first (...) but, somehow, it all makes sense, and it even works as an exciting and thoughtful story."  

"This is a sequel that's best enjoyed by the fans. 'Aqua Teen Forever: Phantasm' isn't a very good introduction to the show for those who haven't been paying attention these past two decades."

"The parts don't equal the whole. Justice League: Warworld starts off strong, but gets increasingly muddied and confusing (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"  

"Somehow, this chaos works, even if the experience is at times disorienting. While it would certainly help to already be a fan of Eve, for the uninitiated, this is an intense introduction."  

"This movie has awful dialogue, excruciating attempts at humor, and cliched action (…) Rating: * (out of 5)"  

"This is a typical dystopian film, bringing nothing really new to the table (...) It's a decent premise, but one that feels unsatisfying (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"  

"While longtime hardcore hockey fans will enjoy this, others might find the points to be belabored."  

"Topping off all the cliches inherent in the urban/rural horror movie divide, there's an undercurrent of Louisiana cliches that have been done to death in a wide array of media (…) Rating: * (out of 5)"  

"This is a very silly French 3D-animated movie with enough sly humor for the adults to make it something that's enjoyable for the whole family (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"A cynical Hollywood attempt to sensationalize gruesome violence and exploit Bundy's incomprehensibly evil murders and the traumatic suffering endured by those who survived what Bundy did"  

"The acting is solid, and the animation isn't of the highest quality, but it works for the story (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"At its best, the movie doesn't sugarcoat these challenges in the least (...) However, it's not without shortcomings. There are sidestories that don't really go anywhere (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"Dark comedy tries to shock; drugs, sex, language (…) Rating: * (out of 5)"  

"Some movies, despite their shortcomings, are so earnest and so much a 'passion project,' they're difficult to dislike (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"This is a very good, if graphic, contribution to the Batman canon that's ultimately best enjoyed by superfans"  

"Violence, scares in cheesy, low-budget holiday horror (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"
