Yelling is a prosaic look at a hard life. Like Sweetness, the movie finds its way by instinct.- Posted Dec 13, 2012

Movies like this, from "Diner" to "Beautiful Girls" to "Garden State," have a standard trajectory, and this film's no different. But it has a nuance and a rumpled comfort with itself, which turns Fairhaven into an inviting place to visit.- Posted Jan 10, 2013

The politician who almost pathologically asked the question "How'm I doin'?" clearly never needed a view outside his own. Which is as New York as it gets.- Posted Jan 31, 2013

Australian director Cate Shortland’s straightforward approach to the blinders worn by Hitler Youth creates a disconcerting and eerie film, made even more memorable since it’s seen through the prism of childhood’s end.- Posted Feb 7, 2013

Owing a debt to Albert Brooks’ early comedies, Red Flag might be too much if it weren’t just right.- Posted Feb 21, 2013

Before it devolves into typical American-style action, there’s an intriguing, European-style complexity to Dead Man Down.- Posted Mar 7, 2013

Nothing terribly special here, but perfectly played and a spiritual cousin to such early ’90s indies as “Naked in New York” and “Ed’s Next Move.”- Posted Mar 7, 2013

So often not in his element — his turn in “Oz the Great and Powerful” is evidence of that — Franco is in freako mode here, and walks a line between spaced-out caricature and just plain Out There.- Posted Mar 14, 2013

Even with no wood sprites, witches or spells, there’s plenty of magic in this coming-of-age charmer.- Posted Mar 14, 2013

What Room 237 is really about is how movies inspire passion. Which is a great thing, even if it comes out in wack-job ways.- Posted Mar 30, 2013

Atmosphere is three-fourths of the game in a horror film, and The Lords of Salem has it in spades. It’s not too much to say that until this culty-witchy throwback chiller turns too bloody, it shows how far a little style can go.- Posted Apr 18, 2013

As a wry, knowing narrator guides us in and out of their symphonic affair, there’s no doubt the trip is worth it.- Posted Apr 25, 2013

The "Star Trek" gibes feel especially lazy, since the movie ought to be "Men in Black" kicky, not sketch-comedy dusty. -

Plays like a throwback to gritty-but-softhearted English dramas of the 1980s like "Mona Lisa" and "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid." -

A good-ol'-boy civics lesson that's too scattered to achieve its predictable goals. -

Sparky voice performances and heart make up for this family film's theft of Tim Burton's sensibility. -

This action-comedy will seem fresh only to 8-year-olds -- though it may give parents an excuse to introduce some of the '50s horror movies it parodies. -

Despite the Spierig brothers' punchy visual style and satiric tone, Daybreakers eventually devolves, though Dafoe and his Southern drawl goose things up and Hawke has a greasy romanticism. -

Low-budget, grubby and gleeful, but with a nice sense of style and apparently an endless supply of dry ice. Points deducted, though, for a too-easy alien-corpse joke. -

Sadly, once the movie shifts gears, it becomes a timid "Donnie Darko." -

Yet it all comes down to one simplistic idea, and the result feels like a one-film evangelical movement. -

When the haze wears off and the movie grounds itself in reality, it's a bummer. Until then, though, what's weird here is gloriously weird. -

This year-in-the-life comedy will appeal mostly to its target audience -- the boys of middle school, USA -- and frankly, that's all it needs. Who else would appreciate the idiocy of social pressure, -
