Watch The Sapphires Movie In Theather


Inspired by a true story, THE SAPPHIRES follows four vivacious, young and talented Australian Aboriginal girls from a remote mission as they learn about love, friendship and war when their all girl group The Sapphires entertains the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1968. Cynthia (Tapsell), Gail (Mailman), Julie (Mauboy) and Kay (Sebbens) are discovered by Dave (O'Dowd), a good-humored talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. As their manager, Dave books the sisters their first true gig giving them their first taste of stardom, and travels them to Vietnam to sing for the American troops. (c) Weinstein

Review For The Sapphires

The harmonies they strike in this reality-inspired charmer are sweetly sublime.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

You could drive an Abrams tank through the film's plot holes, but you'll likely be too busy enjoying yourself to bother.
Michael Posner-Globe and Mail

"The Sapphires" feels like a movie you've already seen, but it's nonetheless thoroughly enjoyable, like a pop song that's no less infectious when you know every word.
Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times

"The Sapphires" sparkles with sass and Motown soul.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Sapphires is hardly a cinematic diamond mine. But this Commitments-style mashup of music and melodrama manages to entertain without demanding too much of its audience.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star

It's pure joy.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic

By-the-numbers in every sense of the word, the film tracks a tried-and-true sort of triumph while featuring renditions of soul classics so bursting with energy and joy you won't care that the originality meter is leaning on empty.
Rick Kisonak-Film Threat

Even when it seems contrived The Sapphires is a feel-good movie in the most positive meaning of that term, thanks to the Motown music and O'Dowd's cheeky charm. Like the Temptations, I loved every sugar pie, honey bunch moment. I can't help myself.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times

Unfortunately, it has been turned into a routine and uninspiring movie, following a tired, old formula the entire way.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

A surefire crowdpleaser with all the ingredients for the type of little-movie-that-could sleeper success that Harvey Weinstein has nurtured in years and award seasons past.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com

You've seen this story before, but never pulled off with so much joie de vivre.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher

They can put a song across just like the Dreamgirls. What's not to like?
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

Exuberant but fairly formulaic.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle

Doesn't always mix its anti-prejudice message and its feel-good nostalgia with complete smoothness. But despite some ragged edges it provides a reasonably good time.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion

Director Wayne Blair -- another veteran of the stage show -- finds his footing during the film's many musical numbers.
Jay Stone-Canada.com

Despite the prosaic plot and reserved approach taken by Blair, Briggs, and Thompson, it's tough to get cynical about such a warmhearted picture that strives to tell so uplifting a story.
Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide

A movie with enough melody and camaraderie to cover up its lack of originality.
Jon Niccum-Kansas City Star

Draining most of the blood, sweat and tears from a true story, this music-minded movie capably covers a song we've heard a hundred times before.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Review For Olympus Has Fallen

The thrills and the effects are cheap, but this is in hard-driving, good-humoured command of its own silliness.
Guy Lodge-Time Out

This ludicrous actioner strives to be as loud, violent, and patriotic as possible.
Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader

Fuqua doesn't deliver on what he has set up.
David Denby-New Yorker

Olympus Has Fallen is a disgusting piece of work, but it certainly hits its marks - it makes you sick with suspense.
David Edelstein-Vulture

The carnage is cruel and crude.
David Edelstein-New York Magazine

A typical slab of Hollywood action in which the White House crumbles under attack, the American flag is tattered and tossed aside by baddies, and clichés rise like gods.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times

A fiery pile of turdy dialogue, turgid action, and xenophobic boosterism for the frequently 'God bless!'-ed US of A. This movie's so stupid, the only suspense it offers is if your brain can avoid falling into a coma before the screen finally goes to black
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)

Provided you can handle such deliberate over-kill in the chaotic swirl that goes on here, Olympus Has Fallen offers a super-sized serving of grit-tinged fantasy action guaranteed to satisfy those who don't mind splatter over style.
Jim Schembri-3AW

In reinventing an old tale in a smart and engaging way, it's a thoroughly entertaining and often riveting way to spend two hours.
Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune

With guns blazing and spouting one-liners, Gerard Butler revels in being the tough guy and leads a decent cast, with all-American Aaron Eckhart a worthy addition to the hallowed list of movie presidents.
David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up

Olympus Has Fallen is the stupid, dark fantasy of backward white trash America that needs another domestic threat to trigger war.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show

Gruesome, cliché-ridden terrorist attack on the White House actioner has a lot of energy to go along with its relentless and well-choreographed carnage.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

t's a terrible action film but a brilliant piece of North Korean propaganda. The American characters act so stupidly that you're pretty much rooting for Kim Jong-un. THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS.
Marc Fennell-Triple J

There's a single line of dialogue that interrogates America's sanctions against some of the poorest people in the world. And who said this kind of thing couldn't be thought provoking?
Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray

The movie is preposterous, paranoid, solemn and - though not I think intentionally - something of a laughing matter.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

What the studio's calling 'an action movie' - the Secret Service will call 'a comedy'.
Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground

As bystanders get mown down, the Washington monument topples and the Stars and Stripes is shredded, the onslaught delivers a real taboo-busting frisson... the sequence would pack an even bigger punch if the CGI special effects weren't quite so cheesy.
Jason Best-Movie Talk

Having stayed up much of the night to watch the hunt for, and ultimate take down, of Suspect 2 in the Marathon Bombings, it was particularly distressing to watch this vile abomination of a movie whose "relevance" only adds to its dishonor.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)

Whether Hollywood is right to keep prodding North Korea simply because it's not a valuable trading partner, only time will tell.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail

Antoine Fuqua is a dependable action director whose talents will never be maximised while the 1980s continue to be over.
Tara Brady-Irish Times

As this massive blockbuster thriller progresses, it's impossible not to become amused by how ridiculous its script becomes.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com

Reactionary fantasy, then - but what else are action films for?
David Sexton-This is London

Some will find it ridiculously entertaining. I found it entertainingly ridiculous. Either way, it's a guilty pleasure.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]

Olympus Has Fallen may be pure Hollywood hokum but it remains tense, exciting and credible enough right through to the suspenseful climax, even if the dialogue is laughable at times.
Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express

A movie that looks like a Die Hard film, feels (sporadically) like a Die Hard film, but lacks the wit and coiled adrenaline that made that series' debut a classic.
Chris Buckle-The Skinny

Has more bloody on-screen deaths than any action film in recent memory.

When their cave is destroyed, the Crood family must embark on a comedy adventure into strange and spectacular territory in search of a new home. As if patriarch Grug (Cage) didn't already have enough to handle, it goes from bad to worse when they encounter an imaginative nomad named Guy (Reynolds.) With Guy's help the Croods conquer their fear of the outside world and discover that they have exactly what it takes to survive - each other.(c) Paramount

Review For The Croods

It captures the wonder (and more gently, the anxiety) of discovery time and time again. And the filmmakers have a hoot playing with the Croods' encounters with, as well as their misunderstandings of, all things new.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

As family viewing, it's pleasant enough: primitive, yes, but in a digitally sophisticated way that's boisterous, funny and will no doubt sell a lot of toys.
Bob Mondello-NPR

The animation is first-rate, with moments of genuine visual imagination, and the story, while unremarkable, is entirely adequate.
Christopher Orr-The Atlantic

How to Train Your Dragon" and "Lilo & Stitch" are completely indicative of the experience you'll have with "The Croods," which is to say a supremely positive one.
Laremy Legel-Film.com

It may not be an instant animated classic, but it's a charmer that will leave the kids ... feeling warm and fuzzy ...
Kate Erbland-MSN Movies

A film which, if not truly sophisticated, isn't nearly as crude as advertised.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

The incredible, surprising design - the vibrant colors, imaginative shapes and textures that make up the prehistoric world - is the movie's real star.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-San Francisco Examiner

It's a lot better than some of the titles aimed at tykes, but anyone older than 10 may be hard pressed to find anything of value here outside of engaging eye candy.
Bill Gibron-Film Racket

As well as being pacy, energetically animated and stuffed full of modern-day references, The Croods also casts off any lingering doubt that DreamWorks is moving into the character-driven domain normally dominated by Pixar.
Jim Schembri-3AW

Cavemen evolving.
Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters

The Croods is simple enough in its story and structure that its emotional honesty and touching message will catch you quite off-guard.
Tim Martain-The Mercury

This is a very nice little family film with excellent visuals and interesting characters.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

The voices have also been well chosen and you're likely to enjoy the entertaining squabbles between Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane

You won't learn anything about life 100,000 years ago, but you may enjoy yourself.
Matt Neal-The Standard

Energetic slapstick, aimed at indiscriminating youngsters who will want to buy lots of Crood toys.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate

It's not only entertaining, it's pretty darn visually impressive. On occasion, it's even rather touching.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

No wonder it's doing so well at the box office.
Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net

An impressive, colorful, imaginatively-designed cartoon adventure, rather spoiled by being shackled to a deeply perfunctory story.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy

A witty and slapstick-laced script by writers-directors Chris Sanders and Kirk De Micco, some flawless 3-D work and solid character and beautiful background animation combine for an entertaining 92 minutes.
Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

Dreamworks have done far more than simply dust off The Flintstones 2.0; The Croods may not yet be a household name, but with their personal brand of buffoonery and heart, you'll be wanting an introduction.
Alice Tynan-The Vine

This is pure DreamWorks magic.
Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz

The Croods tells a pleasant story about family, the utility of man, and letting go -- all of which I will demonstrate in review with caveman-speak.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness

It's the Ice Age that isn't terrible and Cage, as the voice of papa caveman Grug, delivers his most interesting, energized, mainstream performance since... well, since I forget.
Dave White-Movies.com

The humor's classic or prehistoric, depending on your tolerance for slapstick. The 3D animation is state of the art. And the life lessons are all too wearily contemporary.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

The Croods isn't particularly smart, but it has just enough wit to keep us engaged and just enough speed to keep us from feeling restless.
Bilge Ebiri-Vulture

"The Croods" is a touching animated film that not only entertains, but also delivers a sweet message about families and how change can be a good thing.
Jeff Beck-Examiner.com

Watch Eden Movie In Theather


Jamie Chung stars in a searing contemporary drama, based on the true story of a Korean-American teenager who is kidnapped from a bar in New Mexico and transformed into a sex slave in Las Vegas by a band of ruthless international thugs. Beau Bridges plays an avuncular federal marshal, a good ol' boy, who turns out to be one of the operation's masterminds while Matt O'Leary is equally repellent as the boss's wildly erratic, drug-addled right-hand man. But it's Chung who breathes life into a story that could have been reduced to violent, even pornographic sensationalism, if not told so compassionately from the victim's point of view. Human trafficking is a $32 billion-a-year business, perpetrated throughout the world. EDEN gives a thoughtful, albeit mind-boggling perspective on how these crimes are sometimes committed in America within plain sight.

Review For Eden

Cruelty, bloodletting and death are evident throughout (frequently occurring just outside the frame), and Griffith's laudable discretion actually intensifies their impact.
Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times

Griffiths lays bare a many-tentacled trafficking system sickening in its reach.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times

A quite moving performance comes from Jamie Chung as Eden, repulsion sliding into fearful acceptance without the extinction of hope.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

Nearly every second is taken up with the horrors inflicted upon the heroine by the sorriest bunch of good ol' boy sadists since "Deliverance."
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post

A few moments harp on the sentimental, but overall, this is a powerful addition to the small collection of films dedicated to spreading awareness of this horrific crime.
Stephanie Carrie-Village Voice

[An] excruciating vision of under-age women conscripted into sexual slavery by a criminal enterprise from which there is seemingly no escape.
Stephen Holden-New York Times

Tackles the issue of sex slavery, but does so in a way that never feels too clumsy or overarching. Instead, it's a character study with thriller elements; it exposes you to a horrible underworld without ever beating you over the head with it.
Drew Taylor-The Playlist

The intimate scenes between marginalized individuals feeling out complicated relationships. . .gives unusually poignant insight into those caught up in sex trafficking.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com

Tackling the most lurid of subjects, this schlocky shocker proves that sometimes female directors can be as exploitative as men.
David Noh-Film Journal International

Griffiths and her screenwriter, Rick Phillips Jr., manage the tricky business of evoking the specific horrors of sex slavery without languishing in the lurid and graphic.
Scott Tobias-AV Club

There should be more to chew on with a story as horrific as this, yet writer/director Megan Griffiths isn't interested in the crucial details of decay, robbing the film of necessary motivations and a lasting welt of reality.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com

A compelling indie film inspired by a true story about a New Mexico woman who is kidnapped and forced into prostitution in a sex trade operation.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

Brave, gritty, complex and suspenseful. Jamie Chung gives the best performance of her career.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru

The "male gaze" that often despicably and hypocritically surfaces in these kinds of films is pointedly absent throughout.
Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine

As a vehicle for the talented Leandra Leal - who plays a pregnant young woman who is seduced and manipulated by an evangelical preacher - it is an impressive affair.
Mark Adams-Screen International

Review For My Amityville Horror

Where Walter's film succeeds is in rendering Lutz, onscreen throughout, as an indelibly prickly and unsettling figure.
Rob Nelson-Variety

Unusual doc should please both believers and die-hard skeptics.
John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter

Mr. Lutz prattles on endlessly about the paranormal activity he says he witnessed, the unpleasant family dynamics he grew up with and more.
Neil Genzlinger-New York Times

The blurring of fact and fiction has been a part of the Amityville saga since it became public, but for Lutz there's no gray area in his memories, whose power is undiminished.
Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times

[Feels] like an episode of "In Search Of" on steroids.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News

Whether it was all a haunting or a hoax is left unanswered, but the film leaves little doubt that Amityville's greatest source of evil was, fundamentally, parental in nature.
Nick Schager-Village Voice

Though no new answers are presented, the questions should intrigue anyone fascinated by things going bump in the night.
Jamie S. Rich-Oregonian

Not only a unique psychological spin on the entire story, but more importantly a truly heartbreaking examination of a 40 year old man who has spent his life trying to protect a wounded 10 year old boy within him.
Devin Faraci-Badass Digest

If you're a skeptic like myself, this won't convince you, but it will provide some interesting insight into the type of people that spread these stories.
Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium

A rudderless exercise in examination, ultimately the doc has no point of view, no upshot, and no reason for being.
Staci Layne Wilson-Yahoo! Movies

Spooky stuff, effectively directed by Eric Walter, even as it rehashes much of what is well known from the books and movies.
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest

A disturbing mixture of the paranormal and the psychological.
Drew Taylor-The Playlist

My Amityville Horror doesn't go far in sussing out fact from fiction-it just adds more noise to the myth.
Scott Tobias-AV Club

The film is a tender character portrait rooted in deep curiosity and sympathy for its subject.
Drew Hunt-Slant Magazine

This was a chance for something definitive. What we get, instead, is something as incomplete yet intriguing as the original tale.
Bill Gibron-PopMatters

My Amityville Horror is extremely well-done for what is essentially one man sitting and telling his story.
Mark Bell-Film Threat

It is a film that adequately examines the line between reality and sensationalism and humanizes a story that, even in its mere forty year history, has become a cultural campfire tale.
Brian Salisbury-Film School Rejects

Eric Walter's fascinating documentary offers a new perspective on the much-told story.
Mark Adams-Screen International

My Amityville Horror maintains a path somewhere between faith & agnosticism, adding manipulatively spooky music to underscore Daniel's tales, yet presenting a polyphony of irreconcilable perspectives from others without deciding between them for us.
Anton Bitel-Eye for Film

Watch Reincarnated Movie In Theather


Determined to grow as both a human being and an artist, hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg takes a spiritual pilgrimage to Jamaica as filmmaker Andy Capper captures his gradual metamorphosis into Snoop Lion over the course of one profoundly transformational month. For as long as Snoop can remember, he's been rapping, but upon turning 41, the hustler lifestyle begins to take its toll on the man who turned out such hits as "Murder Was the Case," and who has seen the lives of too many friends taken by violence. While visiting Trench Town, Snoop seeks the wisdom of the Nyabinghi community elders in finding a new direction, and reflects on the past and future while immersing himself in Rastafarian culture. Later, in the wake of a deeply affecting meeting with the legendary Bunny Wailer, Snoop Dogg embraces his new identity as Snoop Lion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Review For Reincarnated

Snoop has certainly tempered his worldview, but enlightenment isn't as evident here as much as a woozy weariness, perhaps a long-term byproduct of being very, very stoned.
Andy Webster-New York Times

In its simplest moments ... "Reincarnated" presents an honesty that is its own reward. It shows us an old Dogg with no tricks.
Mikael Wood-Los Angeles Times

Snoop's involvement as a producer does a disservice to the film. Was there anyone behind the scenes with veto power?
Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle

Snoop is a fascinating figure who deserves better than this puff piece.
Leor Galil-Chicago Reader

The rap artist's spiritual journey (he's now Snoop Lion) seems earned, rather than the publicity stunt others might have caught a whiff of originally.
Miriam Bale-New York Daily News

The whole thing does feel like a self-indulgent exercise on the part of Snoop, though he remains an artist of undeniable substance. In this case, a controlled substance.
Bruce Demara-Toronto Star

The film is most convincing as a musical travelogue, drifting through clouds of weed smoke toward some form of Doggy-Lion enlightenment. If not taken too seriously, it's kind of a blast.
T'Cha Dunlevy-Montreal Gazette

All told - and this film knows exactly who its audience is - a reminder of what famously enriching company habitual stoners are.
Malcolm Jack-The List

Comic, pretentious and tedious.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

The film strikes an impressive balance between serious concerns and several hilarious episodes - usually involving Snoop and his entourage enthusiastically partaking of Jamaica's bountiful crops of marijuana.
Terry Staunton-Radio Times

There's a nagging sense of indulgence that leaves us wondering just how truthful this documentary actually is as it follows Snoop Dogg on a voyage of personal discovery.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com

You suspect the camera crew returned from Jamaica with about 20 minutes of usable footage.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph

One can't help thinking that if you've tasted all the spoils it is much easier to give the sweet life up - while still riding around in a Rolls, of course.
Derek Malcolm-This is London

There could have been an interesting documentary here had the director stepped up to challenge his subject.
Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK]

Lavish PR mission or genuine example of creative renewal? Beats us...
David Jenkins-Little White Lies

Thoroughly engaging and entertaining to watch, thanks to a strong direction and Snoop's unapologetic and vibrant personality.
Jennifer Tate-ViewLondon

It features more weed than a pot-warming party at Bill & Ben's but offers little more than spliff-glazed promotion for Snoop's reggae reincarnation.
Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine

More honest than you might expect a promotional piece such as this to be, but less self-investigative than you might like, you come away thinking there are much greater depths for Snoop Lion to plumb.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle

First-time director Andy Capper observes the star without judgement as he desperately tries to court Jamaican acceptance as a modern-day Marley.
Stephen Kelly-Total Film

You don't even need to be high to enjoy this gratifyingly candid, funny and moving portrait of the Grand Master Toker.
David Noh-Film Journal International

With a legacy forever haunted by Death Row, Snoop is looking to reggae for something positive to leave behind. That's a worthwhile journey, even if it looks like it's sponsored by Adidas.
Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
