21 Jump Street played to very good reviews. • Monica Castillo wrote in the Boston Phoenix, "Everyone bemoans the endless sequels and remakes, but occasionally a treasure like Phil Lord and Chris Miller's comes along that redeems the rehashing." • And MaryAnn Johanson wrote for Flick Filosopher, "...one of the wisest movies about high school ever."   48 More Reviews...

Mirror Mirror
Mirror Mirror played to moderate reviews. Reviews were mixed. • Glenn Kenny wrote for MSN Movies, "...one needn't be asking too much in order to be at least occasionally disarmed by its pockets of genuine eccentricity. And to be at least passably entertained by it overall." • And Ty Burr called the film in the Boston Globe, "...an overstuffed, undercooked omelet of a 'Snow White' revamp..."   40 More Reviews...

Wrath of the Titans
Wrath of the Titans played to fair reviews. • Mark Olsen wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "As the story jumps from set-piece to set-piece, one monster to the next, there is no sense of ongoing adventure, just a checklist being ticked off." • And Emanuel Levy wrote for Cinema 24/7, "Some of the set pieces do sing, but then Jonathan Liebesman keeps taking these regular mumbo-jumbo breaks."   42 More Reviews...

A Thousand Words (2012)
A Thousand Words (2012) played to poor reviews. • Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times, "...every time he says a word a leaf falls off the magical bodhi tree in his back yard, and when the last leaf falls, he dies. Let's stop right there.... I think what I'd try is writing notes." • And Peter Howell wrote in the Toronto Star, "Shallow performances, script and direction mute the laughs and the insights..."   23 More Reviews...

Bullhead (Rundskop)
Bullhead (Rundskop) played in key cities to very good reviews. • Colin Covert wrote in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Here's a mafia story you won't get from Scorsese.... an intriguing rural Euro noir, with its rival camps of French-speaking Walloons and Dutch-speaking Flemish." • And Scott Tobias wrote for NPR, "...quietly subverts expectation..."   22 More Reviews...

Sound of Noise
Sound of Noise played in key cities to good reviews. • Moira Macdonald wrote in the Seattle Times, "Agreeably snappy, thoroughly noisy and delightfully original, if a bit slapdash..." • And Colin Covert wrote in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Great premise, middling execution.... The trouble begins with a needless subplot including a music-averse policeman named Amadeus on the culprits' tail."   11 More Reviews...

The Decoy Bride
The Decoy Bride played in New York City and Los Angeles to weak reviews. Reviews were mixed. • Robert Abele wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "...a forced film of only fleeting charm when kooky captivation à la 'Waking Ned Devine' should have been the order of the day." • And Michael Atkinson wrote in the Village Voice and LA Weekly, "The supposedly frothy tone is tarry and flavorless, and the drill is painfully familiar..."   5 More Reviews...
