1.
Seeking Justice
Daily Variety
11/20/11 Fair "...unconvincing... Nicolas Cage is unpersuasive as an inner-city schoolteacher, a part that gives him little leeway to explore the loopier shades that were showcased so entertainingly in 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' and 'Kick-Ass.' "
2.
Last Days Here
Daily Variety
11/06/11 Good (Not Great) "...reliably engaging... tracks three years in the life of cult musician Bobby Liebling, whose band Pentagram never capitalized on its early promise."
3.
Sound It Out
Daily Variety
06/20/11 Good "...an affectionate docu tribute to Sound It Out Records, the only independent music outlet in the north of England.... as a niche ancillary item for fans of alternative music, it does the job nicely."
4.
Albatross (2012)
Daily Variety
06/20/11 Good (Not Great) "A star-making turn from bigscreen debutante Jessica Brown Findlay is the most notable aspect of British dramedy... relates a troubled teen's impact on the family of a middle-aged novelist with writer's block."
5.
Mother's Day (2012)
Daily Variety
06/10/11 Fair "...devolves into the sort of sadistic game-playing that would be more at home in the 'Saw' movies with which director Darren Lynn Bousman established his reputation."
6.
Attack the Block
Daily Variety
03/12/11 Excellent "...enormously appealing.... sees a quintet of teen street hoodlums defend their tower-block home in the projects from an invasion of shaggy-haired aliens with Day-Glo teeth."
7.
Tyrannosaur
Daily Variety
01/21/11 Very Good "...lonely, rage-filled widower Joseph (Peter Mullan) seeks refuge from his pain in the charity thrift store managed by Christian do-gooder Hannah (Olivia Colman). Character, dialogue, storyline and production values exude grit..."
8.
Fire in Babylon
Daily Variety
11/02/10 Good (Not Great) "...world-beating West Indies cricket team that emerged in the mid-1970s reps the subject of the unashamedly celebratory docu.... this triumph-of-the-underdogs tale is enjoyable in the retelling, despite its repetitious hammering of the message."
9.
Burke and Hare
Daily Variety
10/26/10 Good (Not Great) "...an amiable, creaky comedy about 19th-century corpse retailers.... Where the script stumbles is in its absence of any especially funny setpieces or memorable lines."
