1. 10/25/12 Poor "...silly, offensive... too naughty for kids, too dumb for adults."
2. 08/23/12 Outstanding "...so violent you'll gasp -- but it's breathtaking in more ways than one.... I dare you to stop thinking about 'Lawless'... especially knowing it's all inspired by real events."
3. 08/23/12 Very Good "...a sweet film about an elderly man who's losing his memory... Poignant performances make this simple and timely tale one that resonates."
4. 08/16/12 Good (Not Great) "...impressive explosions, a frying pan used as a deadly weapon and an airborne motorcycle crashing into a helicopter.... as satisfying as a cold beer."
5. 03/08/12 Good (Not Great) "It's big, it's loud, it makes virtually no sense; but anchored by a rising new star and epic FX, it's a fun ticket."
6. 02/09/12 Moderate "The 3-D is impressive and Dwayne Johnson draws laughs, but the predictable plot and heavy-handed nods to Jules Verne make this a bit of a drag for grown-ups."
7. 10/06/11 Good (Not Great) "Sam Worthington and Jeffrey Dean Morgan play cops investigating a series of murders. The cast (Jessica Chastain) delivers, but you've seen this before."
8. 09/08/11 Very Good "...as much about family bonds as it is about the sport... The fight scenes are intense but not gratuitously violent -- sure to keep you on the edge of your seat."
9. 06/23/11 Good (Not Great) "Diaz boldly flaunts her R-rated comedy chops -- along with her famous legs... She's profanely funny, but the movie often drags."
10. 04/14/11 Good (Not Great) "The characters could use more depth... the film just glosses over the environmental issues it brings up... Tracy Morgan's take on an attention-loving bulldog is hilarious..."
11. 04/29/10 Moderate "...this take of intertwined relationship can feel muddled and over dark -- think refrigerator-door display rather than museum-worthy masterpiece."
