The Joneses
The film, graced with an original premise, a talented and well-cast group of actors, and a clever, well-paced script manages to be ironically funny, genuinely touching, and disturbing all at once.
Exit Through The Gift Shop
The documentary is a high-speed chase through the moon-lit streets of Los Angeles, guided by the amateur camerawork of the eccentric frenchman, Thierry Guetta.
The Secret in Their Eyes
The real mystery is how this movie ended up snatching any accolades at all, let alone the Oscar for Best Foreign Film earlier this year, and the Goya Prize last year—some of the highest in the industry.
Death at a Funeral
The movie lacks creativity at almost every turn. Many of the movie’s scenes are very close in content and construction to the British version, and the score is unoriginal and bland.
Brand and Hill Hit Boston Before 'Greek'
“‘Arthur’’s going to be out next year and it’s going to be a fantastic film,” Brand said. “I’m going to be nude a lot.”
Date Night
Steve Carell and Tina Fey’s onscreen chemistry shines in the chaotic and funny story of a married suburban couple in “Date Night.”

In “Date Night,” a stagnant couple (played by comedic heavyweights Steve Carell and Tina Fey) tries to spice up their romantic lives with an evening on the town. Their dinner plans, however, go wildly off course when they steal a reservation placed by two petty criminals on the run from the law.
When You're Strange
Using original footage shot between 1966 and 1971, “When You’re Strange” is a refreshing documentary in that it refrains from feeling like a nostalgic home video.
The Warlords
The relationship between the three ‘blood-brothers’ in “The Warlords” is a bromance of epic proportions. General Pang (Jet Li), Wu Yang (Takeshi Kaneshiro), and Er Hu (Andy Lau) travel together, share each other’s space, fight over women, and defend one another like characters in a typical Judd Apatow film.
Spotlight: 'Sweetgrass'
Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ilisa Barbash originally planned to make a movie about rural environmentalism, but after three summers in the Montana mountains and over 200 hours of footage, they ended up with one about sheep.
Clash of the Titans
Though it clearly won’t make any critic’s top ten list this year, there is no doubt that “Clash of the Titans” is an entertaining film.
The Secret of Kells
“The Secret of Kells” is enchanting and imaginative. It is funny, at times scary, and always beautiful.
