The Grey is opening this weekend to good not great reviews. • Jake Coyle wrote for the Associated Press, "...deserves credit for looking for gravity in genre tropes. But, ultimately, the film feels less like a genuine existential thriller than a movie aping the conventions of one." • And Katey Rich wrote for Cinema Blend, "...has exciting ambition and the highest emotional stakes imaginable, but it also feels like a bit of an overshot." The figures will change as final reviews are added.43 More Reviews...

Man on a Ledge is opening this weekend to weak reviews. • Rene Rodriguez wrote in the Miami Herald, "I couldn't have cared less whether or not Nick made it through the movie alive.... 'Man on a Ledge' just made me think of an old Van Halen song: 'Jump.' " • And James Berardinelli wrote for Reel Views, "...a heist film with a great hook, a fast pace, and a major letdown of an ending." The figures will change as final reviews are added.39 More Reviews...

One for the Money (2012) is opening this weekend to poor reviews. • Peter Howell wrote in the Toronto Star, "Director Julie Ann Robinson can't seem to figure out what kind of movie she's making, and neither can the screenwriting committee that spewed out this series of dull line readings, forced drama and bad farce. To compare this mess to a sitcom would be an insult to sitcoms." The figures will change as final reviews are added.10 More Reviews...
Haywire (2012) continues playing to very good reviews. • James Rocchi wrote for MSN Movies, "Swift, stunning and its own reward for the risks Soderbergh and [lead Gina] Carano took." • And Mara Reinstein wrote in Us Weekly, "...taut and stylish... Bonus points for Carano's ability to do a headlock in an evening dress and stockings." 48 More Reviews...

Red Tails continues playing to fair reviews. • Michael Phillips wrote in the Chicago Tribune, "...squanders a great subject, reducing the real-life struggles and fierce heroics of the Tuskegee Airmen to rickety cliche.... The actors do all they can. But Lucas and company did not get the script right with this one..." • And Tom Long wrote in the Detroit News, "Saying the movie was supposed to turn out like this doesn't make it any better." 39 More Reviews...

Underworld Awakening continues playing to fair reviews. Reviews are mixed. • MaryAnn Johanson wrote for Flick Filosopher, "Kate Beckinsale runs around a dank, rainy, gothy, first-person-shooter generic urban landscape -- in slo-mo! -- in skintight leather! or some sort of pleatheresque rubber at least! And the blood and brainmatter splatters out at you in 3D! How can it all be so silly with its humorless solemnity?" 21 More Reviews...

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close continues playing to good not great reviews. Reviews are mixed. • Alynda Wheat wrote in People, "The movie is about the New York that I came to know after 9/11, and that's what makes it extraordinary." • And Andrew O'Hehir wrote for Salon, "...unconvincing Hollywood mush.... irritating and enervating.... [has] a hero you constantly want to smack, mixed with an after-school special about grief and healing." 45 More Reviews...
The Artist (2011) continues playing to exceptional reviews. • Liam Lacey wrote in the Toronto Globe & Mail, "...a rarity, an ingenious crowd-pleaser." • And Mary Corliss wrote in Time, "...the fizziest, most endearing film in ages.... Boasting a wit in story construction worthy of Billy Wilder or Preston Sturges, the movie sets itself impossible goals and keeps meeting and exceeding them." 47 More Reviews...

Declaration of War (La guerre est déclarée) is opening this weekend in limited release to very good reviews. • Amy Biancolli wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle, "...what a treat to find a movie so bright-eyed and true - without a trace of bathos - in its depiction of such a harrowing subject." • And Kyle Smith wrote in the New York Post, "...has it all: comedy, romance, fantasy, musical interludes and a child with a brain tumor. Wait — what?" 15 More Reviews...
Monsieur Lazhar is opening this weekend in limited release to exceptional reviews. • Radheyan Simonpillai wrote in Toronto Now, "A witty screenplay, moving performances – particularly from the precocious child cast – and social observations free of a political agenda make this a high achiever." • And Jennie Punter wrote in the Toronto Globe & Mail, "...artfully takes you through a breadth of human experience that makes it truly unforgettable." More Reviews...

The Theatre Bizarre is opening this weekend in limited release to very good reviews. • John Anderson wrote in Daily Variety, "Deviant, demented and occasionally delicious... offers a hallucinatory flashback to the heyday of omnibus horror while also making a statement about the art.... what separates this all-star-helmed portmanteau from the rest of the slavering genre pack is its intelligence, humanity and sense of perverse mischief." More Reviews...

Five Time Champion is opening this weekend in New York City to moderate reviews. • Rachel Saltz wrote in the New York Times, "...has tough-minded moments but too often veers toward the sweet and even the treacly. (This is a movie with more than its fair share of 'life is like that' musings.) It's pleasant enough, but too careful to be very involving." • And Nick Schager wrote for Slant, "...begs to be taken as a dreamy slice of countryside profundity." More Reviews...

All's Well, Ends Well 2012 (Baat seng bou hei) is opening this weekend in key cities to fair reviews. • Robert Abele wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "...erratic, unfunny hodgepodge of childish farce and drippy emotion — the actors steered toward maximum mugging by directors Chan Hing Kai and Janet Chun — is all cartoon and no charm." • And David DeWitt wrote in the New York Times, "...puts the happy in 'the happy idea'..." More Reviews...
After Fall, Winter is opening this weekend in New York City to poor reviews. • Aaron Hillis wrote in the Village Voice, "...[writer/director Eric] Schaeffer's now middle-age Manhattan novelist Michael scurries off to Paris to escape his loneliness, faded career, and six-figure debt.... Schaeffer can't be trusted or believed as a broken man — he's got no humility." More Reviews...

Albert Nobbs is opening in additional cities this weekend to good not great reviews. • Moira Macdonald wrote in the Seattle Times, "It's a challenge for Close to make a creature so tightly controlled into a sympathetic character, and yet the actress does so with a lovely subtlety..." • And Noel Murray wrote for the AV Club, "...it's hard to believe that the people around the heroine haven't figured her out yet. Even with prosthetics, Close isn't all that convincing as a man." 39 More Reviews...

A Separation (Jodaeiye Nader az Simin) is opening in additional cities this weekend to exceptional reviews. • Joe Morgenstern wrote in the Wall Street Journal, "...a world-class masterpiece.... Flawlessly crafted, brilliantly performed and elegantly photographed, it follows a succession of disastrous consequences that flow from the marital split, and that pose profound moral questions without venturing judgments." 38 More Reviews...
Miss Bala is opening in additional cities this weekend to sensational reviews. • John Powers wrote for NPR, "...remarkable.... searing, exaggerated, sometimes weirdly funny..." • And Lisa Schwarzbaum wrote in Entertainment Weekly, "...harrowing, superbly made drama by fast-rising filmmaker Gerardo Naranjo ('I'm Gonna Explode') is Mexico's 2012 submission for Best Foreign Language Film — rightfully so." 28 More Reviews...

We Need to Talk About Kevin is opening in additional cities this weekend to very good reviews. • Emanuel Levy wrote for Cinema 24/7, "...bracing, mournful... a psychologically inflected horror tale, tapping into the inexplicable and wholly irrational, about a woman's grief and moral culpability to a monstrously horrible act." • And Stephanie Zacharek wrote for Movieline, "The filmmaking is extraordinary; it's the story that gets in the way." 26 More Reviews...
Pina is opening in additional cities this weekend to sensational reviews. • Anthony Lane wrote in the New Yorker, "You can trawl through cinema and find few more beautiful, more unforced, or more fleeting representations of the bourn between the living and the dead.... What is unambiguous is the campaign that 'Pina' mounts, with joy and without fuss, against age discrimination..." • And Daniel Engber called the film for Slate, "...a triumph..." 26 More Reviews...
