A Pilot For A Show You Wouldn’t Watch

This artist’s portrait becomes more a commentary on the state of China today, but in doing so provides deeper context for the worth of contemporary art in the modern world.

Smarter than its premise ever looked on paper, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is genuinely entertaining genre fare. The idea might look dumb, but the seriousness with which it plays out as an actual, non-ironic story is refreshing in its honesty and ultimately more worthy than most will give it credit for.

Act of Valor is an excellent action film that's wrapped up in some iffy rhetorical statements.

Chipwrecked is a joke-devoid assault of ancient pop culture references and auto-tuned pop music...just like every other Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.

It's overbearing in its celebration of the holiday spirit, but Aardman's trademark goofiness nonetheless shines through in this computer animated spectacle.

Terrific performances from Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensnen anchor this oddly sterile period biopic.

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas signals a return to form for this generation's favorite pair of scenery-smoking stoners.

With terrible writing, inane action, and plastic acting, this asinine thriller at least offers some measure of "so bad it's good" hilarity.

This creepy space-horror film can't quite cash in on its premise, but it's still easily recommendable to found-footage fans.

Attack the Block brings terror and humor back to the moribund monster movie genre in an awesome way.

Ayn Rand's writing is turned utterly passionless in this pathetically dull film adaptation.

Arthur is a largely unfunny, out-of-touch comedy that is effectively only for Russell Brand fans.

While it could have made an incredible documentary, Andrew Jarecki's true crime tale fumbles hard in the third act.
