The Big Wedding
"There?s not a bad performance in this movie. De Niro, Keaton and Sarandon are particularly good, what a surprise. But it feels as if all the guests at ?The Big Wedding? are wearing ID tags telling us their one Plot Point." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times.
"There is nothing about the movie that isn?t utterly predictable. You meet a character, and it?s immediately obvious what?s going to happen to him (or her). And then it happens. Maybe it?s meant to make you feel good about your deductive reasoning skills or something. But mostly it just makes you want to see something else."?Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic.

Pain & Gain
"This is easily Bay?s best movie, the work of a filmmaker with a cracked sense of humor that he is able to share with the audience." Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald.
"Yes, the canon invoked for this film is that of the Three Stooges, but it?s still not as magnificently berserk as they can be. Set your expectations carefully for this one." Louis Black, Austin Chronicle.

Mud
"Reese Witherspoon's unglamorous, understated supporting work recalls the kinds of films she made before becoming a movie star. Other recognizable faces include Sam Shepard, Joe Don Baker, Michael Shannon, and Sarah Paulson." James Berardinelli, ReelViews. Full Review
"It?s hard to believe Nichols thinks he can get away with all this and harder still to believe he does. It?s the quality of the attention that he brings ? his focus ? that makes his work so engrossing." David Edelstein, New York Magazine (Vulture). Full Review

The Place Beyond The Pines
"A riveting crime thriller, it's also a multi-generational familial saga that approaches Greek tragedy." Claudia Pulg, USA Today. Full Review
"Cool, violent, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Gosling reprises his inexorable-loner routine from ?Drive.? Cianfrance and the screenwriters Ben Coccio and Darius Marder wrote thirty-seven drafts of the script, but gave him almost nothing to say. He rides, he smokes, he knocks over banks, he loves his baby, and that?s it." David Denby, The New Yorker. Full Review

Oblivion
"The good news: Here's a lavish, serious science-fiction picture, one that on occasion transcends big-budget hit-making convention to glance against grandeur...Which brings us to Tom Cruise, the not-necessarily-good news. However engaging its end-times mysteries, Oblivion is still a Tom Cruise movie." Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice. Full Review
"A moderately clever dystopian mindbender with a gratifying human pulse, despite some questionable narrative developments along the way." Justin Chang, Variety. Full Review

42
"One of the all-time great sports movies ? primarily because it's one of the all-time great sports stories." Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times.
"42 is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful ? but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It?s a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times.

Scary Movie 5
"Somehow, it actually looks cheaper than "Paranormal Activity." It's less funny, too." Darren Franich, Entertainment Weekly. Full Review
"This latest installment of the horror movie spoof franchise is mainly notable for its Charlie Sheen/Lindsay Lohan cameos." Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter.? Full Review

The Croods (3D)
"This Chris Sanders fellow knows how to craft a heart-warming animation, and if not for a few minor problems this would have had a legitimate shot at the best animated movie of 2013."?Laremy Legel, Film.com
"The movie is at its most interesting and amusing when riffing on how cavemen might have reacted to new experiences and ideas, like fire and shoes. Whether the kiddies will appreciate that is unclear, but they?ll certainly like the voice work done by Emma Stone as Eep."?Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times.

Olympus Has Fallen
"While Olympus Has Fallen breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish." Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times.
"Perhaps every generation gets the movie stars it deserves. ?Olympus? has quite a bit to say about the current state of our country. Intentions aside, not all of it is entirely flattering." Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News.
