Stop Making Sense (1984)

Publish Date: July 16, 2020
"What sets 'Stop Making Sense' apart is the intimate look at that brilliant talking head, lead singer David Byrne"

Los Angeles Times
Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)

Publish Date: May 14, 2015
"The comedy choir wars are more intense, more absurd and more lowbrow fun than ever in Pitch Perfect 2. It is almost impossible not to be amused by the cutthroat world of competitive a cappella"

Los Angeles Times
The Longest Ride (2015)

Publish Date: April 9, 2015
"The two-plus hours is mostly marked by an emptiness born of scene after scene designed to blatantly manipulate emotions rather than trigger them."

Los Angeles Times
Home (2015)

Publish Date: March 26, 2015
"Tension is one of Home's biggest issues. There just isn't nearly enough of it. Story is another. Even a kids' movie needs more complexity and more invention"

Los Angeles Times
All the Wilderness (2014)

Publish Date: February 19, 2015
"A still-raw but impressive feature debut"

Los Angeles Times
Seventh Son (2014)

Publish Date: February 5, 2015
"I know it's early, but 'Seventh Son' may actually be the worst movie of the year (...) Every performance falls flat"

Los Angeles Times
Wild Card (2015)

Publish Date: January 29, 2015
"Sadly, 'Wild Card' is no royal flush, no full house, no three of a kind. A bust is I think the term I'm searching for"

Los Angeles Times
Strange Magic (2015)

Publish Date: January 22, 2015
"I don't think even fools will fall in love with 'Strange Magic'"

Los Angeles Times
Taken 3 (2015)

Publish Date: January 9, 2015
"Taken 3 is so unintentionally hilarious I couldn't help but wonder - do movie contracts carry a humiliation bonus clause these days?"

Los Angeles Times
Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

Publish Date: November 25, 2014
"Despite some well-earned laughs, "Horrible Bosses 2" is not what qualifies as a good movie or even a particularly good R-rated comedy. But there is more to laugh at in '2' than the first"

Los Angeles Times
National Gallery (2014)

Publish Date: November 20, 2014
"It is such a gift that Frederick Wiseman, who is edging toward 85, continues to let his curiosity and his craft fill his days and our theaters."

Los Angeles Times
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)

Publish Date: November 20, 2014
"In almost every decision the director makes, there is a calculated risk, more heartening each time she takes it."

Los Angeles Times
Eliza Graves (2014)

Publish Date: October 23, 2014
"Anderson seems to have all the necessary pieces for a surreal psycho pop. But the fear factor eludes him, leaving "Stonehearst Asylum" more insipid than insane"

Los Angeles Times
Birdman (2014)

Publish Date: October 16, 2014
"The director's surrealist portrait of modern times and the cult of celebrity is brilliant on so many levels that even the occasional downdraft can't keep 'Birdman' from soaring"

Los Angeles Times
Cake (2014)

Publish Date: September 9, 2014
"Ugly-ing Aniston up in 'Cake' frees her from all of the preconceptions pop culture has been imposing (...) a serious treat to see the actress stretch herself"

Los Angeles Times
Frontera (2014)

Publish Date: September 4, 2014
"Rather than the gravitas Berry is seeking, too much in "Frontera" is like the country it is shot in — so much dust in the wind"

Los Angeles Times
Cantinflas (2014)

Publish Date: August 28, 2014
"You're left with that empty feeling of a surface barely scratched, when the legend that was Cantinflas deserves much more."

Los Angeles Times
The Last of Robin Hood (2013)

Publish Date: August 28, 2014
"Instead of a cautionary tale, they've looked at Flynn's life through rose-colored glasses."

Los Angeles Times
Land Ho! (2014)

Publish Date: July 10, 2014
"Land Ho!" is full of surprises (...) it noses around the rocky terrain of aging in an indifferent world through the engaging performances of its two stars"

Los Angeles Times
Gabrielle (2013)

Publish Date: July 3, 2014
"Casting Marion-Rivard in the title role was a risk that paid off, giving the film its authenticity, also its imperfections."
