Apollo 13 | Laramie Movie Scope | Robert Roten | It seems strange now, a quarter of a century later, than mankind, with vastly superior technology, lacks the will to venture to the other planets or even to go back to the moon.

Born on the Fourth of July | Laramie Movie Scope | Robert Roten | This is a sad case of a film with high and noble intentions that features great dramatic performances, but it ends up being a superficial epic, diluted, limited, and strangely unmoving. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,747 |
Boyz n the Hood | Laramie Movie Scope | Robert Roten | The strong story line and the anti-drug, anti-violent messages in the film all lack the subtlety we see in the film's visual images.

Malena | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | For those of us who love Cinema Paradiso, the news that its Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore and his musical soulmate Ennio Morricone were getting back together to do another coming-of-age film, Malena, gave us tantalizing hope. Malena fa | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Down to Earth | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | Down to Earth is worth seeing. Like mainstream brew, it doesnt have high potency, but it is a nice diversion. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
A Separation | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Ambiguous endings can work for some films, but it doesn't here. Still, the powerful performances and near seamless screenplay leave little else to be desired. A Separation deserves its Oscar. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Rather than create an innovative style to complement the horror-history hybrid, he employs superhero clichs and hackneyed action scenes that only help distract from the ineffectiveness of the film's scant 3-D effects. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Albert Nobbs | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | There's no contrived moralizing bridge to modern relevance, no overt nod to contemporary gender politics and no real reason why Close shouldn't get some respect this awards season. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |

Bad Boys II | Las Vegas CityLife | Bob Grimm | Bay throws everything that is wrong with this world into his film, and the result is often blissful debauchery. Quite terrible in spots, but Lawrence and Smith are very funny. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Brother (Hermano) | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Hermano is part sports film, part neorealist drama and a fully successful debut feature from Venezuelan director Marcel Rasqun. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Carnage | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | This is an actors' movie, although it's not always pleasant. Waltz has the most fun, and is the most enjoyable to watch. He also exchanges dialogue with Winslet that best sums up the story's absurdist nature: "Why are we still in this house?" | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Chicken with Plums | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | unfurls in a dazzling set of sequences and montages that demonstrates everything shown to us - like marriage and society itself - may not be as it seems, or what it should have been. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Coriolanus | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Fiennes' blend of action and homage is top-notch, as is direction.... Fiennes created his own modern world for which it's easy to suspend disbelief. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Cosmopolis | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Cronenberg is not a director to be daunted by a scenario in which the antihero spends most of his time in a stretch limo. Turning it into a film that interests anyone ... is another matter | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Damsels in Distress | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Why he would once again focus his imagination on another ensemble of shallow, self-absorbed characters that are all directed to speak like they were born in the same upper-class Connecticut suburb indicates a one-track mind, at the least. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Dark Shadows | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Burton really needed to lean his horror-comedy more toward horror. Instead, it's reminiscent at times of Love at First Bite and the feature film remakes of The Addams Family and The Brady Bunch. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Although some of the dates and causal events in her life are passed over, the rhythm and style carry the narrative forward until the last 20 minutes, when the film mostly meanders to the finish. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Oskar expounds to excess, a problem that becomes worse as time drags on and is particularly excruciating during the one-way verbal dialogues with Von Sydow | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Footnote | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Cedar remains in stylistic second gear for the rest of the film, and interest fizzles out long before the finish line. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
For a Good Time, Call... | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | the concept was rife with possibilities that could synergize with Graynor's fresh appeal as well as her rising-star status. Neither the possibilities nor the synergy happens, mainly due to an underdeveloped story. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
In Darkness | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | The Academy Award-nominated film does not disappoint in terms of performances or presentation, except for its length. A good percentage of its 145 minutes is spent in subterranean near-darkness. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Jeff Who Lives at Home | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Jeff, Who Lives at Home offers escapism of a different kind, an entertaining reminder that good people sometimes prevail, and that living by your own Yoda logic in your own universe may not be such a bad thing. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Jiro Dreams of Sushi | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Gelb also provides an education on the different kinds of sushi, the purveyors of premium fish and rice, and overfishing.

La délicatesse (Delicacy) | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Foenkinos brothers' balance of light comedy and moody desperation is conveyed with a breezy cinematic style | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Ladykillers | Las Vegas CityLife | Bob Grimm | Has a good chance at being the year's funniest film--and the only one with an English Bulldog wearing a gas mask. Tom Hanks gives the funniest performance of his career. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Monkeybone | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | The film Monkeybone is a raucous mess. Director Henry Selick mixes animation and live action to the noisy, clumsy detriment of both. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Monsieur Lazhar | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Falardeau had the good fortune to work with a powerfully effective ensemble cast, and Martin Léon's minimalist ambient score helps set the mood for a satisfying story about the healing effect brief encounters can have on emotional scars. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Neil Young Journeys | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Demme plants a camera on the mic stand so at one point he can present Young's unshaven scowl in extreme close-up, blocking out the gorgeously lighted stage. It's not a pleasant image | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Pieces of April | Las Vegas CityLife | Bob Grimm | While director Hedges deserves high praise, the film's true blessing is the combination of Clarkson and Holmes. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Prometheus | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | WPrometheus offers hypotheses about the origin of life on our planet that are so well constructed, they make real-life theories about extraterrestrials seem highly feasible. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Proof of Life | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | The unconvincing Proof of Life is a missed opportunity. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Robot & Frank | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Christopher D. Ford's seamless screenplay provides a light-comedy vehicle that Langella rides to a satisfyingly original, epiphanic finale. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | ... just because something seems absurd doesn't mean it can't happen. And just because a film seems to lack surprises doesn't mean it won't take an entirely satisfying turn at the end. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Savages | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | compelling action scenes with momentum-killing dialogue digressions | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Shame | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Shame has the problems that accompany most films in which the director sticks his neck out. It's not incoherent, but will seem underdeveloped for viewers who want plots and characters spelled out for them. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
State and Main | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | David Mamet tones it down a second time in the relaxed State and Main. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Sugar & Spice | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | Director Francine McDougall thinks of her film Sugar and Spice as "a sophisticated black comedy." Yeah, right. Its as sophisticated as a Twinkie, and as black as a marshmallow. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | its difficult to sit through the final scenes without thinking of what Madden could have cut to earn Marigold Hotel a five-star rating. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Campaign | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | The problem with situation comedy movies in general - and Will Ferrell vehicles such as The Campaign in particular - is that they usually fizzle out after the first 30 minutes. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Deep Blue Sea | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | By the time she learns love is less about ideal romance than "wiping someone's ass" when they grow old, it's difficult to care about a problem she created for herself. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Imposter | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Credit director Bart Layton for taking a subject that appears barely capable of propping up hour-long, true-crime cable programming and turning it into compelling, full-length documentary. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Iron Lady | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | The narrative is not well structured, and Streep's performance suffers as a result.... The scenes with Broadbent are the best. They just aren't worth sitting through a history lesson that isn't taught well. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Lady | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | The dramatic moments are few and far between, and the film seems like it walks in the footsteps of Richard Attenborough's Gandhi at times. Besson definitely tries to present Suu Kyi in a similarly reverent light. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
The Raid: Redemption | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Gareth Huw Evans doesn't swipe plot points as much as organically build a taut, expertly choreographed heir to urban mayhem fantasies | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
To Rome with Love | Las Vegas CityLife | Matt Kelemen | Inconsistencies in time and space elements, and a plot that echoes an episode of The Flintstones, join generally underdeveloped attempts at suspending disbelief to mar Allen's attempt to represent the city of Fellini. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
Tomcats | Las Vegas CityLife | Tony Macklin | Tomcats is a raunchy, rambunctious, crowd-pleasing film. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,749 |
