10 Years

Amy Nicholson
09/14/12 Good (Not Great) "...too bad '10 Years' isn't, you know, funny. At least it's well-meaning and nostalgic... this flick is a reunion for anyone who's laughed at anything in the last ten years."
2.

11-11-11

Alison Willmore
11/11/11 Weak "...not at all frightening, a fault that lies as much with its limited effects as with its goofy concept: A successful, grieving author named Joseph Crone (Timothy Gibbs) starts experiencing ominous things linked to the number 11."
3.

13 (2011)

Alison Willmore
10/27/11 Weak "...a lumpy, dumb, suspenseless thing that sometimes scarcely feels finished... such a disappointment. Nothing to see here."
4. 04/28/11 Outstanding "...so beautifully made, it could serve as a model for contemporary American action films. If only.... the movie shines as a piece of visual storytelling."
5.

1911

Alison Willmore
10/06/11 Weak "...a greatest hits of important moments with inadequate connective tissue, impossible to comprehend without prior detailed knowledge of everything it recounts."
6.

2016: Obama's America

Christopher Campbell
08/31/12 Moderate "...a transient attraction for the anti-Obama crowd.... To truly be an effective Michael Moore equivalent, frankly, D'Souza could stand to be more of a nuisance."
7.

21 Jump Street

Stephanie Zacharek
03/15/12 Very Good "Together Hill and Tatum are so much fun to watch that it's disappointing when the story around them becomes overly cluttered and convoluted.... pretty loose-limbed..."
8.

3 (2011)

Alison Willmore
09/15/11 Very Good "...it's the smaller bits of whimsy that stick... touches of warmth in what's ultimately more a forward-looking fable than a love story."
9.

30 Minutes or Less

Stephanie Zacharek
08/11/11 Good "For every line or gag that works, there are three or four more that seem to belong in a different movie altogether, either a darker one or a breezier one."
10.

4:44 Last Day on Earth

Stephanie Zacharek
03/23/12 Good "Ferrara has some fun exploring both the high-tech and low-tech ways in which a human being, on the last day of mankind's existence, might reach out to others."
11.

50/50 (2011)

Stephanie Zacharek
09/29/11 Very Good "...succeeds in showing cancer -- or illness in general -- as a part of life, instead of just treating it as a device to set the dramatic weight swinging."
12.

A Bag of Hammers

Alison Willmore
05/10/12 Good "...a film that should be appallingly twee, but more often than not is actually scruffy and sweet.... remains fairly light despite some serious developments..."
13.

A Better Life (2011)

Michelle Orange
06/23/11 Very Good "The confidence that director Chris Weitz shows in certain scenes is often balanced by the clichéd sentiment of others."
14. 05/31/12 Outstanding "...a feat of hand-drawn animation that relies on spare but succinct character design and a dazzling sense of perspective... its charms have a noirish gleam."
15.

A Dangerous Method

Stephanie Zacharek
11/22/11 Excellent "...probably the most fun you'll ever have watching a movie about Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud duking it out -- and nurturing a deep-rooted but fragile friendship..."
16.

A Little Bit Of Heaven

Stephanie Zacharek
05/04/12 Fair "...the best way to get through this film is probably on a morphine drip, a confection that, sadly, is not available at most concession stands."
17. 12/29/11 Excellent "...save for the occasional camera jiggle, you're barely aware of the filmmaking at all.... packs a lot of quiet anger and frustration... a quiet cry of anguish."
18. 03/09/12 Weak "...parts that aim to be funny rarely succeed... Remember Eddie Murphy? He used to be hilarious."
19. 11/03/11 Moderate "...lacks the freewheeling, generous spirit of the first two 'Harold & Kumar' movies and tries to make up for that lack with extra crudeness."
20.

Abduction (2011)

Alison Willmore
09/22/11 Moderate "...a giddily preposterous film, so delinquent in dealing with its dramatic elements they often become the source of unintended laughs."
