Out of the Furnace Chris Rebholz |  Mar 26, 2014 There's no denying the gritty honesty of this film, at least with regard to Russell's character. Full Review  | Grade: A

The Book Thief Chris Rebholz |  Mar 24, 2014 he Book Thief is an often noble film, but it ultimately fails to really connect on the emotional level it should have. Full Review  | Grade: B

The Counselor Chris Rebholz |  Feb 27, 2014 The Counselor doesn't divulge its secrets easily, and in fact this is one film that virtually requires (at least) a second viewing. Full Review  | Grade: B

Gravity Chris Rebholz |  Feb 24, 2014 Regardless of how well Gravity fares at this year's Academy Awards, it's a stunning achievement in filmmaking unlike anything that's ever come before. Full Review  | Grade: A

The Americans: Season One Chris Rebholz |  Feb 24, 2014 I frankly never completely bought into The Americans' conceit, that said, the show is intricately structured and features some fantastically fun (and sometimes unexpectedly funny) performances. Full Review  | Grade: B

The Fifth Estate Chris Rebholz |  Feb 19, 2014 The Fifth Estate suffers with scattershot direction, slippery scripting and hit or miss casting, with Cumberbatch doing his best but succumbing to a mediocre screenplay and Condon's wishy washy vision. Full Review  | Grade: B

Baggage Claim Chris Rebholz |  Feb 19, 2014 The cast of Baggage Claim is certainly game and tries hard, but there's the whiff of desperation in many scenes. You've seen all of this before, and in better films, to boot. Maybe even a couple by Tyler Perry, perish the thought. Full Review  | Grade: D

Free Birds Chris Rebholz |  Feb 19, 2014 Younger kids (like way younger kids) will probably get a kick out of Free Birds, but for anyone past the tot stage, this film will seem old, tired and derivative. Full Review  | Grade: C

Metallica: Through the Never Chris Rebholz |  Feb 13, 2014 "Through the Never” is quite a ride, and Metallica fans are rewarded with several teeth-rattling performances. Full Review  | Grade: A

Million Dollar Baby Chris Rebholz |  Feb 13, 2014 For a first-time purchaser of Million Dollar Baby, this 10th Anniversary Edition is the clear winner, because of the new extras and lossless sound. Full Review  | Grade: A
