Flight

Conversation begun Nov 02 2012

[Time Very Well Spent] Ignore the supporting character whiplash injuries. The primary story's strong, and Zemeckis still knows how to crash a plane. Mercy.
Smashed

Conversation begun Nov 02 2012

[Time Very Well Spent] Perhaps slightly improbable on the finer points, but authentic and frank, and the stellar performances of Winstead and Paul cover any flaws.
Cloud Atlas

Conversation begun Oct 26 2012

[Great] Bears one material but forgivable flaw, will almost certainly bump to five stars on subsequent viewing.
Alex Cross

Conversation begun Oct 18 2012

[Time Well Spent] It won't endure, but it's a nice movie night option and Perry's the perfect Alex Cross.
Seven Psychopaths

Conversation begun Oct 12 2012

[Magnificent] Seriously dark and uproariously funny.
Argo

Conversation begun Oct 12 2012

[Magnificent] Dazzling. And how unimaginably gratifying for all involved.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Conversation begun Sep 28 2012

[Great] Insightful, complex, respectful, frank, and funny. And Ezra Miller earns a retroactive Lifetime Pass and hits the Roller Watch!
Pitch Perfect

Conversation begun Sep 28 2012

[Time Very Well Spent] Hilarious mashup of Revenge of the Nerds meets Step Up Revolution with a heavy splash of The Breakfast Club.
Trouble with the Curve

Conversation begun Sep 21 2012

[Great] Principals shine, story's solid, and it's a a strong debut effort from writer Randy Brown. Nice three-bagger.
Arbitrage

Conversation begun Sep 14 2012

[Magnificent] Gere is at the top of his game, we're back in the rarefied air of An Officer and a Gentlemen, Pretty Woman, and Unfaithful.
