 "...builds to a rivers-of-blood 45-minute nonstop battle climax that is downright dizzying. If you like severed limbs, this is your movie.... '13 Assassins' is a killer." |

 "The laughs come fast and breezy, just as Delpy intends. '2 Days in New York' is a light-hearted look at families and culture clash, champagne bubbly and witty." |

 "There is no single mind-blowing film, but they do what good short films do: They make you want to see more short films." |

 "...a reminder of the power of craft and imagination... They vary in depth -- some are outright slight -- but they're all skilled, and when they fly, they fly high." |

 "...uniformly well-crafted.... it's good stuff... But none of them are going to make you question reality as we know it or alter the course of cinema." |

 "...a roller coaster shriek of a film -- high-pitched, raucous and blindingly fast... it's a bit like the Three Stooges on crack -- nutty, loud, profane and full of laughs." |

 "...the sort of movie that should be shown in schools.... While it's far from a major league homer, it's a solid double when it comes to education and inspiration." |

 "The true story is extraordinary; the film is not... The initial fire fades to a low burn. In truth, 'A Dangerous Method' could use a bit more danger." |

 "Jenna Fischer's performance gives the movie a sense of romantic weariness that lingers. Life is a series of disasters to be weathered, no matter how cute you are." |

 "Bayer has delivered a perfectly serviceable, if somewhat more serious and less campy, remake of the slasher classic. But let's get real here." |
