The Rum Diary (Robinson, 2011)

Last updated on: February 27, 2015 at 10:22 pm By Reed Lawson

To say that Bruce Robinson’s The Rum Diary was an unfocused mess would be implying that it left me with some sort of feeling after leaving the theater. Read more

Garbo: The Spy (Roch, 2009)

Last updated on: February 27, 2015 at 10:25 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Garbo: The Spy is a sometimes surprising, sometimes amusing, always engaging documentary about a subject that most Americans paradoxically have heard lots but know relatively little about: espionage. Read more

The Thing ( van Heijningen, Jr., 2011)

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 11:08 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

I don't say that it was a poorly conceived or executed horror film. It certainly seemed competent and, for all I know, it may very well be more skillfully done than most horror films. I just mean that I found it more disgusting than scary. Read more

Courageous (Kendrick,2011)

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 8:18 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

I thought I was going to get away without having to write anything about Alex Kendrick's Courageous, a film which is admittedly hard for me to be fair to at least in part because I'm not really the intended audience. Read more

Real Steel (Levy, 2011)

Last updated on: February 27, 2015 at 10:27 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Real Steel is a hard film to not like, so about half way through I stopped trying and just gave myself permission to enjoy it. Read more

African Chelsea (Roske, 2011)

I don't normally say a lot about short films in these pages, but I thought I would give a shout-out to African Chelsea for a couple of reasons. Read more

50/50 (Levine, 2011)

Last updated on: February 27, 2015 at 8:07 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Does it really fall on me to be the dissenting voice on this film? Grimace. I don't want to be. I want to respect it (in fact I do respect it) for its earnestness and good intentions. But... Read more

4th & Goal (Seavey, 2010)

One of the abiding mysteries of film criticism is why there are so few good football movies. Read more

Tyrannosaur (Considine, 2011)

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 11:20 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

Hannah is in an abusive relationship (and that's the understatement of the year), and the way Considine lets this play out without Hannah verbalizing the way her relationship with God affects and is affected by her attempts to negotiate her husband's treatment of her allows the film to be achingly real without ever preaching.

Habemus Papam (Moretti, 2011)

Ultimately Habemus Papam felt less like a blasphemy and more like a failure of imagination. Read more
