Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve (2012)
62%
2.5/4
EDIT
“Money For Nothing lacks the rush of Rush, but you still might find your pulse racing and your blood boiling by the film's end.” –

Gangster Squad (2013)
30%
3/4
EDIT
“It might sound like a stretch, imagining Penn playing that intense, indiosyncratic a villain. But the lauded, veteran actor pulls a left hook, then a right, and after a wild bodyshot at the tail end of the film, you see the true mania behind his eyes.” –

This Is 40 (2012)
52%
2.5/4
EDIT
“Apparently Apatow's penchant for if-it's-not-broke filmmaking isn't changing anytime soon. And it's a shame, because while This is 40 has plenty of laughs, it lacks decency and heart.” –

4/4
EDIT

American Reunion (2012)
45%
2.5/4
EDIT
“Yes, American Reunion is a juvenile outing. They steal jet skis and defecate in beer coolers. They cheat on their girlfriends and lie to their best friends. But what did you expect?” –

It Might Get Loud (2008)
79%
2/4
EDIT
“While that sounds like a fantasy for rock aficionados, the scenes lack dramatic tension or cinematic enlightenment. It just kind of happens, and then the all-star jam fades to black, leaving few remnants of the filmmakers' initial intentions.” –

EDIT
“In a struggling music economy, the big screen can be big money -- for the right acts. And the Jonas Brothers are exactly that.” –

3.5/4
EDIT
“It's great emotional fodder for old-school Metallica fans and smart, tugging drama for people unfamiliar with the band.” –

“Little more than an exercise in pockmarked dialogue, lame stereotype riding and even worse pacing.” –
