 "...deeply affecting... Filmmaker Kristopher Belman was determined to tell a different, more personal kind of story. And that is what gives 'More Than a Game' its power." |

 "You loved the TV show. You downloaded all the music. You went to the sold out arena tour. Now thrill to 'Glee The 3D Concert Movie.' " |

 "The tone is surreal, at once visceral and clinical, making 'Bronson' an unsettling experience: savage, disturbing, and yet somehow fascinating." |

 "...plays far bigger than it should. For sci-fi action fans, it's an instant classic. For everyone else, it's a dark, bloody mess." |

 "Unless you're already a Perry fan, you may come away from 'Part of Me' feeling taken advantage of. Like you just paid someone to talk about herself for two hours." |

 "There's not much to this movie beyond a slick procession of dark, gleaming violence. But Selene lovers would pay good 3D money to see her fight a parking ticket." |

 "Brannaman is a fascinating character, but 'Buck' is so tightly focused that only avid horse lovers will find it appealing." |

 "There's a faint but unmistakable air of pretense to the project... a film that's energetic but not entirely engaging, fun but never truly funny.... The frivolity feels strained." |

 "The quips fly fast and fetchingly through the first part of this frothy comedy.... The last part slogs under an unfortunate burden of sentiment and sincerity." |

 "The only notable acting going on here is Jennifer Garner's.... Garner is eerily convincing as a naif who believes everything she is told." |

 "For a time, it has the charm of a 'Goonies' set in the anything-goes CGI era. Then the cracks emerge." |

 "...dopey but resourceful... The actors make a surprisingly effective comic team, with Black's manic energy trampolining off Cera's deflated passivity..." |

 "...supercharged in a style that recalls Mel Gibson's apocalyptic classic, 'The Road Warrior.' The characters are more than cartoonish, and the plot grips the road." |

 "...a profoundly, disconcertingly schizophrenic film.... you can't go this dark this suddenly without rattling viewers." |

 "...pulpy and violent... Hill handles the gunplay sequences effectively, the hand-to-hand (and axe-to-axe) clashes not as well, and the automotive anarchy poorly." |

 "...incredibly meticulous and totally misbegotten... Kids won't get the references, and they won't get the jokes. Adults, other than film geeks, won't have the patience." |

 "...a cascade of explosions and blood splatter. Bad guys are decapitated, eviscerated, and vaporized. The plot is basically the same as in the first film." |
