 "At best, it is very well played by its leads and supporting characters. You can't go wrong with Segel, Blunt, Pratt and Brie, the latter two TV stars who are movie-ready." |

 "Overreaching fits of melodrama, occasionally stilted dialogue, and performances by Gooding Jr. and Howard that are mostly a series of serious faces can't keep the shiny 'Red Tails' from taking flight." |

 "It's all a little ho-hum. 'I didn't start the clock. I can't turn it back,' a character says. Moviegoers may feel the same way about time lost with 'In Time.' " |

 "Fans of the original may see some of the plot points, including the vampire reveal, as coming much too soon, but the film should be credited for not dragging out the obvious." |

 "It's a negative setup, focusing on dissension right off the bat. But Rapaport's slick technique also immediately draws viewers into the group's story, albeit in a 'Behind the Music' sort of way." |

 "...never achieves full scariness, despite some effective scenes with possessed girl Rosaria (Marta Gastini).... this is an exorcism movie that those who actually saw 'The Exorcist' in theaters can get into." |

 "...gets points for not being the same silly minstrel show Perry has put forth a few too many times. But in the end, the movie is still a poetic injustice." |

 "You'd think the characters in the new movie 'Splice' would have seen enough sci-fi thrillers to know it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature." |
