  • Excerpt: It’s not that I didn’t appreciate the set-up of “Aftershock.” It’s that the movie just goes too far with the misery porn angle.

• [New - 5/17] | Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: Despite high-paced action, shoot-outs, car chases and fist fights, Erased is about as ho-hum as it gets.
• Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
  • Excerpt: Annoying father/daughter interactions interfere with an enjoyable thriller viewing experience.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/9] | Amber Wilkinson @ Eye For Film
  • Excerpt: Raaphorst and scriptwriter Chris W Mitchell seem so proud of the look that they completely forget that a film also needs to have a decent plot and characters lying beneath the costumes.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
  • Excerpt: Truth be told, this may well be the best Gatsby adaptation we’ve yet had. But that’s rather a low bar, and the fact that a film with this many problems is still at the top of the heap speaks volumes about the trouble with making a good Gatsby movie.
• Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
  • Excerpt: The Great Gatsby might just be Luhrmann’s best film to date and he makes a better case for adapting the novel than expected, but as many viewers will likely hate it as love it and are sure to let you know.
• [New - 5/16] | Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
  • Excerpt: It’s really not possible to retrofit a soaring romance onto Fitzgerald’s plot skeleton.
• [New - 5/16] | Daniel Carlson @ Pajiba
• [New - 5/16] | Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
  • Excerpt: The glue the holds the picture together is the presentation that Lurhmann delivers. Like “Moulin Rouge!,” “The Great Gatsby” has some awesome imagery and a pulse-pounding soundtrack.
• Bob Cashill @ Popdose.com
• Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: …director Baz Luhrmann wants to dazzle you with razzle, make you swoon over the gauzy glory of paperbook romance and hit you over the head with Fitzgerald’s symbols if not his themes…It’s a shame, really, as Leonardo DiCaprio is a great Gatsby.
• Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
  • Excerpt: …it’s Lurhmann’s literal-minded fidelity to the novel—his insistence on emphasizing Fitzgerald’s words when imagery would be sufficient—that sinks THE GREAT GATSBY.
• Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: Great literature seldom makes great movies, and Baz Luhrmann’s new, 3D remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” only serves to prove the point. In any event, Luhrmann, who’s madly in love with his own status as a visionary, was absolutely the wrong director to try. This adaptation of a major classic forgot to take its Ritalin.
• Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: This is Fitzgerald as seen through the eyes of a gossip columnist.
• [New - 5/16] | Kate Erbland @ Film School Rejects
• Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: A sumptuous, exquisitely gaudy spectacle, emphasizing style over substance and filled with extravagant parties to which we wish we’d been invited.
• Oktay Ege Kozak @ Oregon Herald
• [New - 5/16] | Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
• Joe Lozito @ Big Picture Big Sound
  • Excerpt: Baz Luhrmann’s delicious visuals struggle to enliven a fairly standard retelling of the Fitzgerald classic.
• Peter Martin @ Dallas Film Now
• [New - 5/16] | Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
• Brent McKnight @ Beyond Hollywood
• [New - 5/17] | Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
  • Excerpt: Not so great, eh?
• [New - 5/16] | R. Kurt Osenlund @ Slant Magazine
• [New - 5/16] | Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
  • Excerpt: The kinetic, hyper-stylized conveyance of ideas and emotions – vapid as the style may be – is a perfect match for the thematic undercurrent of the source material.
• Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
  • Excerpt: If nothing else, one should have expected Luhrmann’s Gatsby to be a zippy visual extravaganza, rendering Jay Gatsby’s epic parties and decadent displays with virtuoso indulgence. Such is not the case.
• [New - 5/16] | Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
  • Excerpt: Baz Luhrmann’s movie rendering of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel is The Great Gatsby the way Jay Gatsby might have directed it.
• [New - 5/16] | Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
  • Excerpt: Gatsby’s good, but not great
• Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: The Great Gatsby is hiding a secret, concealed and lost by a wide-eyed director more interested in visual style than emotional depth.
• Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
  • Excerpt: Luhrmann and DiCaprio bring it vividly to life, even if not in quite the fashion Fitzgerald intended.
• Andrew Wyatt @ Look/Listen (St. Louis Magazine)
  • Excerpt: This is a C+ high school essay on “The Themes and Symbols of The Great Gatsby,” gussied up with a rhinestone cover.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: a pale remake of “Meet the Parents” with an African American cast, and it’s the cast that makes it tolerable.
• Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: Even a solid cast has its limits.
• [New - 5/16] | Kate Erbland @ MSN Movies
• [New - 5/16] | Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: Formulaically funny, utterly familiar, fish-out-of-water story with a few absurdly engaging comedic touches.

  • Excerpt: Assayas has gathered a large, mostly inexperienced cast to create a mural of mood, a time when idealism was paramount, at least until the members of a political group begin to drift into their own destinies.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• [New - 5/17] | Steve Biodrowski @ Cinefantastique Online
  • Excerpt: Eclipses all but the best of the classic Trek films.
• [New - 5/16] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
  • Excerpt: An immensely engaging sci-fi thriller about friendship, leadership, and loss in a tense and war-mongering intergalactic world.
• [New - 5/17] | Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
  • Excerpt: I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed. There was something missing – some extra bit of seasoning – that didn’t make this film bad but also didn’t make the film great.
• [New - 5/16] | Stephen Carty @ Flix Capacitor
• [New - 5/16] | Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: Paramount to the success of this series is the perfection of its regular cast, who have made these iconic roles their own.
• [New - 5/16] | Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
  • Excerpt: From the manner in which it is constructed to the way it has been marketed, there is an undercurrent of insecurity running throughout STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.
• [New - 5/16] | Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: t’s been nearly 50 years since “Star Trek” first appeared on TV screens,, so it’s a little astonishing to think that it may only be hitting its high watermark now. But seriously, this may be the best “Trek” yet. “Star Trek Into Darkness” starts off at warp speed out of space dock and never lets up.
• [New - 5/16] | Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: This is an exciting entry—one of the best entries, really—in the series.
• [New - 5/16] | Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: Adrenaline-fueled and highly entertaining, filled with feverish, fast-paced excitement and suspense. Live long and prosper!
• [New - 5/16] | Steven Greydanus @ National Catholic Register
  • Excerpt: I’ve accepted that this is Trek lite, and, in that capacity, it delivers solidly … Perhaps in the next film Abrams and company may set their sights on something more ambitious: finding consequential new stories to tell in their rebooted universe.
• MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
  • Excerpt: A Star Trek for our times. Very much for our times. Which means there’s little hope to be found here…
• [New - 5/16] | Daniel Kelly @ Danland
  • Excerpt: It’s wholly polished, but “Into Darkness” is a broody, charmless heartbreaker.
• [New - 5/17] | Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
• [New - 5/17] | Glenn Lovell @ CinemaDope.com
  • Excerpt: Funny, suspenseful, heartfelt, chock-full with dazzling effects. Easily one of the best in the durable franchise!
• [New - 5/16] | Joe Lozito @ Big Picture Big Sound
  • Excerpt: This ill-named sequel plays more like a transitional story than its own film.
• [New - 5/17] | Piers Marchant @ Sweet Smell of Success

• Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
• Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
  • Excerpt: Boldly going…
• [New - 5/17] | Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
  • Excerpt: It has great things in it, but one can’t avoid the fact that Abrams has made a a clang-and-bang special effects picture that develops a crises about every 20 seconds.
• [New - 5/17] | Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
  • Excerpt: While not as clever or riveting as the first chapter, Star Trek Into Darkness does raise hopes that Abrams will be able to handle the Star Wars franchise next.
• [New - 5/16] | Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
  • Excerpt: Nearly as exciting and engaging as its predecessor, and just as supremely well crafted.
• [New - 5/17] | Andrew Wyatt @ Look/Listen (St. Louis Magazine)
  • Excerpt: The occasional cheesy fan-service moments feel like a distraction from the film’s real virtues: non-stop, rollicking sci-fi action and snappy dialogue between sharply-drawn characters.

Reviews for this film from our members:

• David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
  • Excerpt: Venus and Serena is occasionally exasperating in how close it comes to being a true portrait of its subjects’ inner lives. Yet, confounded at every turn by the practiced deflections of these media-savvy personalities, it never gets below the surface, allowing us only blurred shadows of what lies beneath.
• Donald Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
• [New - 5/16] | Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
  • Excerpt: Watching this engaging sports documentary about two of the most daunting players in women’s tennis won’t necessarily help your ability to tell Venus and Serena Williams apart.
