The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone draws a lot of goodwill from the basic likability of its star performers." Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle.?Full Review
"The inconsistencies in tone - is it an Anchorman-style farce or something more serious? - distract from likeable turns from the leads." Helen O'Hara, Empire.?Full Review

The Call
"The Call for the most part is a tense, extreme-jeopardy thriller that delivers the intended goods." Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter.
"Rare is the thriller that goes as completely and utterly wrong as The Call does at almost precisely the one hour mark. Which is a crying shame, because for an hour, this is a riveting, by the book kidnapping." Roger Moore, Movie Nation.

Dead Man Down
"The tone and pacing of Dead Man Down have a distinctly European flavor, which may explain why American viewers, used to having background and exposition pared down and cleanly delivered, may feel adrift at the outset." James Berardinelli, ReelViews.?Full Review
"The action merely meanders when it should be hurtling forward, running in circles when one expects it to head toward a conclusion or some sense of resolution." Calum Marsh, Slant Magazine.?Full Review

Oz the Great and Powerful
"Raimi manages to keep things engaging, which is a very real act of wizardry in and of itself." Jordan Hoffman, Film.com.?Full Review
"This trip isn?t so notable. It?s not bad. Some bits are enjoyable. But ultimately, other than some genuinely impressive visuals, it never makes a compelling-enough case to justify its existence." Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic.?Full Review

21 and Over
"Writer-directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore find a nice balance between the over-the-top high jinks and an emotional core, which unexpectedly crystallizes relatively late in the movie." Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle.
"Yes, surely for them, the lucky few and probable many, 21 and Over will be the Best Movie Ever. For the rest of us, though, it?s something of a chore." William Goss, Film.com.

Jack The Giant Slayer
"Ultimately, it?s hard and a bit pointless to nitpick Jack The Giant Slayer because it never sets out to be or presents itself as anything more than a slightly beefed up fairy tale." Kevin Jagernauth, The Playlist.?Full Review
"This epic waste of $190 million plunders the grab bag of overused plotlines, failing to put its own stamp on much of anything." R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine.?Full Review

Snitch
"Snitch is grittily streetwise, and until its last 20 minutes fairly credible compared to other movies "inspired by" true stories." Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times.
"Although Johnson performs admirably in the drama-heavy role ? far better than many of his action-hero colleagues would manage ? John Matthews is a character as boring as his name." Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic.

Safe Haven
"A sentimental romantic thriller. But it?s a well-made sentimental romantic thriller, and that makes all the difference." Connie Ogle, Miami Herald.
"It?s hard to argue with the title here ? Safe Haven, indeed. This is all about safety in the Hollywood workplace. Why make a movie when making a Hallmark-card-with-dialogue is so much less risky?" Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail.

Identity Thief
"Melissa McCarthy is riveting in simply-penned moments of remorse and confession, adding tearful depth to her ace timing and formidable physical comedy." R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine
"Identity Thief is a road movie with its creative lanes clogged, and a Mack truck comedian barreling through, anyway." Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
