IN THEATERS*
HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN
(2011)
"It has a brilliantly succinct title that sums up exactly what you will see when you enter the theatre: a nameless Hobo dispatching criminals with a shotgun." -- David Baldwin
HOP
(2011)
"Isn’t it lovely, in these uncertain economic times, that children can still aspire to jobs in the lucrative mythical creature market?" -- Rachel Hyland
LIMITLESS (2011)
"Eddie isn’t a hero. When not under the influence, he’s a lazy procrastinator who uses people. On drugs he’s almost sociopathic." -- Sara Paige
SCREAM 4 (2011)
"There were many ways in which Scream 4 could’ve been a complete and utter fucking disaster -- seriously, how many times have we seen a horror franchise get a reboot or a remake that turns out to be utter crap?" -- Joe O'Brien
SUCKER PUNCH
(2011)
"If the only difference between a movie that's shallow and sexist and exploitative and one that's shallow and sexist and exploitative, but ironic -- well, it's pretty hard to tell them apart." -- Josh Wanisko
THOR
(2011)
"What a waste of anticipation I could have better expended on The Avengers. (Or, even, Captain America. Green Lantern, maybe? See what this movie has done? It's made me look forward to DC movies!)" -- Rachel Hyland

AMERICAN NINJA 2: THE CONFRONTATION"On the surface, what doesn’t this movie have to offer? Ninjas, genetic cloning, stuff blowing up, Caribbean islands and the costuming that a tropical paradise promises. Unfortunately... " -- Jason Murdoch
