Movie Title : Identity Thief Genre Movie :Comedy Mpaa Rating : R Release Date : Feb 8, 2013 Wide Actors :Jason Bateman,Melissa McCarthy,Jon Favreau,Amanda Peet,Tip 'T.I.' Harris,Genesis Rodriguez ,Morris Chestnut,John Cho,Robert Patrick,Eric Stonestreet,Jonathan Banks,Ryan Gaul,Steve Mallory,Tyler Nilson,Steven E. Little,Andrew Friedman,Antwan Mills,Ian Quinn,Diva Tyler,Mary-Charles Jones
Identity Thief Synopsis: Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back. -- (C) Official Site
It saddles Bateman with a thankless uptight straight-man role while heaping serial slapstick ignominies on his co-star, who gamely bounds through everything the script throws at her. Trevor Johnston-Time Out
Even with all its shortcomings and sentimental fudges, there is something about McCarthy's refusal to lie down and play the victim that gives it a comic edge. A blunt edge, to be sure, but an edge all the same. Tom Charity-CNN.com
[A] sloppily made exercise of rip-offs and redemption. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
Considering that it starts out with two distinctive and likable stars and a reasonably promising premise, "Identity Thief" reaches impressive heights of laziness and idiocy. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
Identity Thief apparently forgets it was supposed to be a comedy. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
"Identity Thief" is a cheap copy of much better comedies. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
The natural charisma of the two leads is about the only thing that saves Identity Thief; it's a very generic, very lazy Hollywood comedy. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire
Very little about Identity Thief is original. After a brief introduction that leads to Sandy and Diana travelling across the country together, viewers are saddled with a story that's essentially a road movie with an Odd Couple twist. Forrest Hartman-Reno Gazette-Journal
Bateman and McCarthy seem inspired enough to make this janky old jalopy of a story somewhat entertaining, playing to type with a lukewarm script. John Serba-MLive.com
Sure, the two leads deserve better material, but there are enough laughs here to make up for a lot of creative mistakes-casting isn't one of them. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
...a yawner plot set-up that leads to lots of wannabe off-colour gags, a small army of pursuing villains and an expected final act in which Jason's icky-sticky niceness might perhaps stop McCarthy from being a shrieking psychopath. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up
Formulaic multiplex mulch, way over-long, often feels strained...That said, Identity Thief is the latest example of the disconnect that often exists between critical opinion and popular appeal. Slammed by critics the low-budget film has been a huge hit. Jim Schembri-3AW
Identity Thief molests the idea of the 'odd couple' beyond recognition. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
Don't let Identity Thief steal two hours of your life. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground
The film's darker elements are brushed aside and we're left with a zany, feel-good finale. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
an unwieldy and unfunny farce that's robbed of comic potential through its reliance on shrill mayhem over wit. Michael Simms-FILMINK (Australia)
When the plot feels like you've seen it three times before, and done better on each of those occasions, the movie better have something else going for it. Identity Thief doesn't. Matt Neal-The Standard
The first thing I did after returning from the screening was take two painkillers for my throbbing headache. A man can only withstand so much shrill shrieking and faux-screwball antics. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
There's probably a funny film buried somewhere deep within this concept of a morally corrupt protagonist, whose compulsion to steal identities finds her facing off with the man whose identity she has stolen, but this isn't it Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Identity Thief features the kind of 'humour' which says you don't just hit a person once, you should do it repeatedly to make it funnier. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
The film is painfully unfunny, almost literally so. Philip French-Observer [UK]
There's real potential in this premise for a ripping screwball comedy anchored by two likeable actors, but the filmmakers simply don't trust the material, stirring in constant elements of action mayhem that don't work at all. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
Feeble as comedy, the movie is needlessly violent, too, as if half the crew misguidedly thought they were making a foul-mouthed action thriller. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
The real crime here is the waste of comic talent. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
All pretty feeble stuff. Derek Malcolm-This is London
Without the irrepressible force of comic mayhem that is Melissa McCarthy, road-movie comedy Identity Thief would end up in the ditch. Luckily, the Bridesmaids co-star barrels her way through the plot's stickiest patches. Jason Best-Movie Talk
Movie Title : Amour Genre Movie :Art House & International,Drama Mpaa Rating : PG-13 Release Date : Dec 19, 2012 Wide Actors :Jean-Louis Trintignant,Emmanuelle Riva,Isabelle Huppert
Amour Synopsis: Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple's bond of love is severely tested. -- (C) Official Site PG-13
This is realism that enlarges our conception of the term. Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
Now at the end of the year comes a masterpiece, not just the best of the year, but one of the best ever: Michael Haneke's Amour. David Thomson-The New Republic
Trintignant perfectly captures the resolve that eventually borders on obsession, as the woman he loves gradually, maddeningly, disappears before his eyes, and he does whatever he can to prevent it, though he knows it's impossible. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
Many viewers will find echoes of their grandparents, parents, or even themselves in these characters. James Berardinelli-ReelViews
A movie that is utterly worthy of its all-encompassing title. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
The resulting interplay of ruthless restraint and unavoidable passion, plus the film's refusal to shrink from depicting the inevitable horrors of physical deterioration, is devastating. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times
It leaves you spent, depressed and intensely afraid of the future. In some ways that's admirable, but like our fallible bodies, it gets old - fast. Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
Haneke has created a gift for both audiences and the two legendary actors cast in the lead roles. Matt Kelemen-Las Vegas CityLife
In a film that's so explicitly cathartic for the filmmaker, there's a whole lotta catharsis withheld for the audience. Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter
While [director Michael] Haneke's love of long takes invite you to stare into the corrugated faces of Georges and Anne as their worlds change, there is a leaden quality to many stretches of the film that assume a profundity that simply isn't there. Jim Schembri-3AW
Powerful piece of cinema that forces us to confront death and something even worse; the prospect of outliving the love of one's life Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
This beautifully-handled, deeply devastating work is all about the most human issue of all: we're all headed for the scrap-heap. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up
Movingly acted and extremely harrowing. Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz
Rarely has this subject matter been depicted so realistically, so honestly. You always know where the story is heading but it's still tough to watch. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
The scenario is upsetting, but the execution is genuine and pure, making Amour a film of heartbreaking beauty and Haneke's masterpiece. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
Amour will now rate highly on a list of my favorite horror movies. It's certainly upsetting. But that is its strength. Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
This is a profound look at love about a couple who have lived with each other for so many years, know each other so well and this terrible thing that is facing them and there's a serenity there which makes it even more moving, I think. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
It's Haneke's searing honesty and lack of sentimentality, and his talent as a writer-filmmaker that lifts this film to the heights of achievement. I know that the storyline may sound gloomy, the film is not. It is beyond wonderful. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia)
Ultimately, the title of the film demands to be taken as a question: is this truly what love looks like? A little smugly, Haneke refuses to answer. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia)
A multiple award winner at film festivals around the globe, and it is easy to see why. Highly recommended. Leigh Paatsch-Herald Sun (Australia)
Michael Haneke's most intimate and painfully truthful film - an exploration of what love means at the far end of life. Simon Weaving-Screenwize
This is a movie almost too painful to watch at times, yet so masterfully composed and acted - Riva absolutely deserves her Oscar nomination, while Trintignant was robbed - that it's impossible to turn away. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times
Georges' irreversible decision may be courageous, but it requires no sacrifice on the part of his creator: for Haneke, it's business as usual. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Trintignant and Riva are unforgettably brilliant as the aging couple we can all identify with. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Movie Title : Playing for Keeps Genre Movie :Drama,Sports & Fitness,Comedy Mpaa Rating : PG-13 Release Date : Dec 7, 2012 Wide Actors :Gerard Butler,Jessica Biel,Noah Lomax,Dennis Quaid,Uma Thurman,Catherine Zeta-Jones,James Tupper,Judy Greer,Abella Wyss,Grant S. Goodman,Grant Collins,Aidan Potter,Marlena Rayne Lerner,Igbal Theba,Sean O'Bryan,Mike Martindale,Jason Winston George,Emily Somers,Gerry May,Katia Gomez
Playing for Keeps Synopsis: Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Quaid star in Playing for Keeps, a romantic comedy about a charming, down-on-his luck former soccer star (Butler) who returns home to put his life back together. Looking for a way to rebuild his relationship with his son, he gets roped into coaching the boy's soccer team. But his attempts to finally become an "adult" are met with hilarious challenges from the attractive "soccer moms" who pursue him at every turn. -- (C) Film District
Everyone involved deserves a script with more wit, originality and sense of purpose. Anna Smith-Time Out
Dennis Quaid hammers away at a nothing role as Thurman's husband, an adulterous alpha dog; it's nearly identical to the one he played earlier this year in What to Expect When You're Expecting, but who's counting? J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
These are actors due a break. Unfortunately, this comedy-drama about a kids' soccer coach boinking a bunch of desperate housewives doesn't appear to be it. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine
I'll long be haunted by Dennis Quaid's manic performance as a palm-greasing dad who seems to be under the influence of bath salts ... Melissa Anderson-Village Voice
Playing for Keeps takes place in a tonally incoherent universe, constantly shifting between rom-com farce and mawkish family drama. Darren Franich-Entertainment Weekly
All the characters and their motivations are banal at best and half drawn at worst, leading to the question: why didn't this end up on The Hallmark Channel starring TV's hot-tail of the moment? Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter
... a half-hearted comedy about the perils of former professional athletes that unsuccessfully tries to force together elements of domestic melodrama and romantic farce. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
An own-goal shambles of bland characterization, comic shtick, exes-still-in-love clichés and lazy implausibilities, Playing For Keeps plays down to the ugliest American stereotype of soccer-dull to the point of brain-death. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Did Gerard really leave the UK and a guaranteed pundit spot on Match of the Day for an automatous son and callous wife? Playing for Keeps asks difficult questions like these but provides no satisfying answers. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
If this was a biscuit, it would be an own-label digestive, full of sugar and trans fats - but suited and booted in a glistening wrapper. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
The comedy has its moments but they are few, and a high-powered cast, which also includes Judy Greer and Dennis Quaid, give mostly low-powered performances. Derek Malcolm-This is London
Even the usually reliable Dennis Quaid flounders as a fellow parent in a film that is at least slickly put together but is ultimately a sheer waste of talent. David Aldridge-Radio Times
In the long, ignoble tradition of naff romcoms starring Butler, this stands alongside The Ugly Truth and The Bounty Hunter as the worst of its kind. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
Sadly wastes its star-studded cast and has very little to offer in the way of laughs and touching moments. Jennifer Tate-ViewLondon
Even an actor as capable as Dennis Quaid is incapable of wading in to save it. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
Hitting our screens on New Year's Day, let's cross our fingers and hope that Playing for Keeps isn't an indication as to how the rest of 2013 will be for cinema. Best to get it out of the way early, I suppose! Stefan Pape-HeyUGuys
Not quite as bad as it sounds, despite the corny game plan. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Rigidly formulaic and shamelessly sentimental. Rob Carnevale-The List
A father-son heart-tugger wrapped around a mushy reconciliation rom-com sprinkled with tinsel of shiny Hollywood supporting stars acting like they're in another movie entirely. Neil Pond-American Profile
Garbage. Bob Grimm-Reno News and Review
Fox hasn't penned a script since 1993's So I Married an Axe Murderer, and he apparently hasn't left his home, either ... Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix
Another "almost there" film for Gerard Butler. Amazing that he is still coasting on his "300" fame. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
Movie Title : Triumph Of The Wall Genre Movie :Documentary,Art House & International,Comedy Mpaa Rating : Unrated Release Date : May 31, 2013 Limited Actors :Bill Stone
Triumph Of The Wall Synopsis: As fascinating as it is meditative as it is hilarious, Triumph of the Wall begins as a filmed chronicle about the construction of a 1000-foot dry-stone wall by a novice stonemason in rural Quebec. The stonemason, Chris Overing, is to complete the stone structure within eight weeks; the filmmaker, Bill Stone plans the film as a straightforward telling of this laborious yet creative task. But after Overing realizes he has woefully underestimated the time and energy required to construct the wall, both projects evolve into something altogether different. Triumph of the Wall is a film about expectations, about two guys who embark on an eight-week journey and spend the next eight years trying to figure out how to finish what they started...a reminder that sometimes art (and life) is as much about the process of creation as it is about the finished product. (c) First Run Features
Neither the very relaxed pace of this builder, Chris Overing, nor Mr. Stone's sporadically amusing neuroses about his filmmaking make for a gripping documentary. Nicolas Rapold-New York Times
"Sometimes you start things, and you don't know exactly why," muses filmmaker Bill Stone, surely expressing the feelings of everyone who buys a ticket to his aimless, and seemingly endless, documentary. Miriam Bale-New York Daily News
Not so much a crafted film as a compendium of one guy's musings. Zachary Wigon-Village Voice
Movie Title : Despicable Me 2 Genre Movie :Animation,Kids & Family,Comedy Mpaa Rating : PG Release Date : Jul 3, 2013 Wide Actors :Steve Carell,Kristen Schaal,Benjamin Bratt,Miranda Cosgrove,Russell Brand,Ken Jeong,Steve Coogan,Elsie Fisher,Dana Gaier,Moises Arias,Nasim Pedrad,Kristen Wiig,Pierre Coffin,Chris Renaud,Nickolai Stoilov,Vanessa Bayer
Despicable Me 2 Synopsis: Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's worldwide blockbuster Despicable Me entertained audiences around the globe in 2010, grossing more than $540 million and becoming the 10th-biggest animated motion picture in U.S. history. In summer 2013, get ready for more Minion madness in Despicable Me 2. (c) Universal PG
Its repetitive qualities are beyond reproach. Guy Lodge-Time Out
While the new edition doesn't quite catch that inspired spark, there's still plenty to enjoy here courtesy of those zippy visuals and a pitch-perfect voice cast led by the innately animated Steve Carell. Michael Rechtshaffen-Hollywood Reporter
While not quite as charming or unique as the original, "Despicable Me 2" comes awfully close, extending co-directors Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin's delightfully silly sensibility to a bit larger universe. Peter Debruge-Variety
Gru still has charm and kids will adore the Minions. Helen OHara-Empire Magazine
A pale imitation of its fresh and frisky predecessor. Josh Winning-Total Film
Doesn't quite reach the lunatic levels of the first film's moon-stealing scheme, but despite its smaller scale it does manage to venture even further into daftness. Jayne Nelson-SFX Magazine
If Despicable Me 2 feels like little more than spectacular silliness, it's hard not to admire a film with such a canny grasp of what its young audience wants. Emma Simmonds-The List
Its hyperactive vibrancy is universally boredom-proof. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz
This sequel perhaps doesn't recapture that feeling of freshness and originality of its predecessor, but there's still an abundance of wit and humour on show to keep this animation ticking over nicely. Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy
Despicable Me 2 is a delightful box of 3D delights, with dastardly villains, deliciously vicious beasties AND a genuinely sweet love story. Emily Breen-HeyUGuys
The adventure itself - chasing the villain - is full of misadventure and colourful chases, novelty numbers, cute asides and a whirlwind vocal performance by Wiig, a contempo Agent 99 figure to Gru's Agent Smart-alike. Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
Mixing up its colourful characters into an inspired cocktail shaker, the film creates a spanking new premise in which evil allows goodness to soar. Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
A spot-on animated sequel that delivers the right balance of laughs and sentimentality ... Mark Adams-Screen International
Directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud know what works in this Looney Toons meets Pixar universe, with vibrant colours, memorable characters and slapstick comedy wonderfully meshing together. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
Movie Title : Paranoia Genre Movie :Mystery & Suspense,Drama Mpaa Rating : Unrated Release Date : Aug 16, 2013 Wide Actors :Liam Hemsworth,Gary Oldman,Harrison Ford II,Lucas Till,Amber Heard,Josh Holloway,Embeth Davidtz,Julian McMahon,Richard Dreyfuss,Harrison Ford
