Weak |
 "...plays like an extended episode of 'Unsolved Mysteries,' deficient as it is in stylistic zeal, investigative spirit and plain old scares." |

Excellent |
 "...astonishingly hard-hitting.... This jaw-dropping, persuasively researched pic has the power to pry open government lockboxes." |

Moderate |
 "...squanders a gutsy performance by Amanda Seyfried while making '70s porn look scarcely more sleazy than a movie-of-the-week melodrama from the period." |

 "...favors style over substance... the chief commodity is Weigert, who remains an intelligent screen presence even in stupid scenes..." |

Outstanding |
 "Skillfully adapted from Tim Tharp's novel, evocatively lensed in the working-class neighborhoods of Athens and tenderly acted by Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley..." |

Moderate |
 "...emphatically goofy but ultimately sentimental.... a pic that promotes the pleasures of altered consciousness, but proves insufficiently psychedelic itself." |

Very Good |
 "A bona fide high-wire act... delivers towering thrills through its candy-colored 3D ode to the titular outfit's astounding acrobatics." |

Poor |
 "...an appallingly bad concoction of disgusting shorts that run through the alphabet but really should've stopped at 'A'... morbid..." |

Poor |
 "...poorly shot... fails to make a case for the musician's new identity in anything but commercial terms..." |

 "Less inferno than slow burn... has plenty of portent but not much payoff.... still has '70s-esque style to spare and sports a likable lead perf by Sheri Moon Zombie..." |

Outstanding |
 "...infinitely more than a bummer, displaying an invigoratingly acute understanding of the psychology of insecurity, longing, defensiveness and inward-turning rage." |

Moderate |
 "...gets one's attention but doesn't keep it, due to ill-cued flashbacks, groan-inducing dialogue and wooden performances..." |

Very Good |
 "...narratively unhinged, beautifully shot and frequently hilarious... coheres -- arguably, anyway -- into a vivid jaunt through the auteur's cinematic obsessions." |

 "Fully immodest and intermittently astonishing.... Stunningly gorgeous leads prove more than capable of eliciting emotion over the near-three-hour haul..." |

Good (Not Great) |
 "...displays just enough narrative ingenuity to compensate for a cinematically crude and logistically sketchy deployment of the requisite blood-and-guts mayhem." |

Moderate |
 "...a predictable comedy and melodrama... the screenplay appears averse to complexity and almost romantically attracted to shallow diversion." |

Fair |
 "...mediocre.... there's not enough satire in the screenplay for director Brian Dannelly to pull off something as edgy as his 2004 indie 'Saved!' " |

Good |
 "Inevitably best suited to fans.... Game footage is excellent... Docu also benefits from interviews with articulate sportswriters..." |

Very Good |
 "...highly satisfying... Stefan Ruzowitzky focuses on strained family relations, further distinguishing a film that works plenty well in purely action-oriented terms." |

Poor |
 "Relentlessly meatheaded and scarcely if ever funny... features interviews with a narrow cross-section of guys' guys..." |
