The Counselor
The Counselor doesn't divulge its secrets easily, and in fact this is one film that virtually requires (at least) a second viewing.
Gravity
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.
The Americans: Season One
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.
3 Days to Kill
3 Days To Kill Is An action thriller from opening to finale with a little comedy in between.
The Fifth Estate
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.
Baggage Claim
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.
Free Birds
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.
Metallica: Through the Never
"Through the Never” is quite a ride, and Metallica fans are rewarded with several teeth-rattling performances.
