Review For Electrick Children | |
| Though unevenly told and at times too fanciful for its own good, "Electrick Children" marks an intriguing feature debut for its risk-taking writer-director, Rebecca Thomas. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times "Electrick Children" is well acted and refreshingly nonjudgmental, but its narrative continuity is tenuous at best. Stephen Holden-New York Times Thomas makes an assured debut as both writer and director, the gifted Culkin is excellent as always, and Garner finds lovely shades of nuance in Rachel's innocent faith. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Thomas has an aversion to the easy resolution-she knows precisely which mysteries to keep dangling. Ted Scheinman-Village Voice The best moments in filmmaker Rebecca Thomas's debut feature manage flashes of wide-eyed grace-that is, when the overly precious, half-formed story isn't undermining her understated direction and the work of a fine cast. Keith Phipps-Time Out New York You needn't be a true believer to appreciate Rebecca Thomas's indie feature rooted in a traditional Mormon community. Justin Lowe-Hollywood Reporter Good as it is, with a catchy high concept and hip indie sensibility, it could have been so much better. Culkin, Aiken and Garner, however, can count the film as an unmitigated triumph. Jessica Kiang-The Playlist Rebecca Thomas's debut feature is a sensible and humane exploration of youthful curiosity. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Sweet but never sickly ... Electrick Children is real must-see from a bright new talent. Catherine Bray-Film4 The film ultimately exposes itself as fluffy fantasy. Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz The debut feature of twentysomething Rebecca Thomas, who herself grew up in the Mormon faith, this US indie is a decent coming-of-age yarn, adorned with some magic realist flourishes. Tom Dawson-The List Writer-director Rebecca Thomas invites us into this world with a gentle, unhectoring hand, and keeps the mystery of her story wide open. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph Rebecca Thomas's gauzy debut about a 15-year-old Mormon who believes she's had an immaculate conception is deftly done. Catherine Shoard-Guardian [UK] After the interesting initial concept, Electrick Children falls apart structurally, most notably in its transition between the second and third act. Joe Walsh-Little White Lies An interesting and catchy take on a traditional tale of repressed teenage rebellion. Limara Salt-Empire Magazine The performances are excellent, and the filmmaking is mesmerising. Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall Careful, kids - rock'n'roll can get you pregnant. Or that's what one Mormon teen believes in this cute lo-fi indie from first-timer Rebecca Thomas. Paul M. Bradshaw-Total Film There's a solid core to this magical realist coming of age tale that smooths over the odd bump. Lee Marshall-Screen International "Electrick Children" exudes raw talent and heralds the arrival of a voice that could evolve into something truly special, even if it's currently a little unsure of what exactly it wants to say.

Review For The We and the I | |
| Gondry has talent, and I think he enjoyed being with these youngsters, but the film suffers in trying to impose something vaguely like a story on a framework that boils down to teen high jinks during a bus ride. Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle "The We and the I" is a collection of very thin stories, many of which feel incomplete. John Hartl-Seattle Times Organic interactions are interrupted by Gondry's words, or abandoned in favor of fantasy sequences. The film's verisimilitude too often takes a backseat to conventional storytelling and Gondry's whimsical aesthetic. Elizabeth Horkley-Philadelphia Inquirer A vivid snapshot of an interracial group of teenagers as they take a bus ride home on the last day of school. Michał Oleszczyk-Chicago Sun-Times Fake documentaries annoy me - why not put in the effort and deliver the real thing? - and this one is not only aimless and stiff, it also rings false. Kyle Smith-New York Post "The We and the I" neither scolds nor sentimentalizes its young characters. Instead the film invites viewers, of whatever age, to immerse themselves in the chaos, glee and heartache of a long ride home on the last day of school. A.O. Scott-New York Times An artful, scrambled, energetic blend of youthful connection and hormonally charged carousing [that] works more as a caffeinated conveyance of feeling than an actual plotted story. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness French director Michel Gondry takes a select group of Bronx teenagers, puts them on a bus, and lets them loose. For some of us, it's a scary ride. Beverly Berning-culturevulture.net Gondry captures some intermittent compelling moments, but overall the film lacks much depth or insight. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com The We and the I is less a film than a social-studies experiment, an after-school project by a bunch of high-school kids exploring that eternal teen tension between the individual and the group. Sean Axmaker-Seattle Weekly Imagine a student video project with professional production values. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express By the end of the line, we've been granted a privileged peek at today's youth that's intimidating and nostalgia-inducing in equal measure. Marc Mohan-Oregonian Realistic look at teen culture has drinking, sex, language. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media Exuberantly finds the universality of adolescence. . . [in] a running theme of. . .peers vs. individual--how 1 plus 1 equals 3, when in groups, they become like someone else. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com Michel Gondry gets back to his low-budget roots and rediscovers his formidable formal playfulness in the process. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Ambition only carries the viewing experience so far, as most of the effort is strangled by a persistent unpleasantness and Gondry's tone-deaf way with establishing sympathy for this public transit motley crew. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com A return to successful form for (director Michel) Gondry after 2011's wretched "The Green Hornet"...captures the modern teen spirit, lingo and reliance on technology exceptionally well. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest A shockingly horrendous film that strips away every bit of Michel Gondry's gifted imagination. Chase Whale-Twitch Evoking a New York City commuter's nightmare, this movie aims for poignancy but achieves mostly exasperation. Robert Levin-amNewYork There's a lot to love about the film, but it can get buried under the attempts to tell everyone's story at once. Tasha Robinson-AV Club | |

Review For The Monk | |
| A work whose elegant atmospherics ultimately overwhelm the story, even with the terrific Vincent Cassel in the title role. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times What repulsed Coleridge in the novel clearly amuses the French director Dominik Moll in his diverting if somewhat thin adaptation. Manohla Dargis-New York Times By the end, "The Monk" has revealed itself to be a too- predictable potboiler, served piping hot. Soren Anderson-Seattle Times If only director Dominik Moll (who has clearly studied his Luis Buñuel) had not staged this bitter psychological horror story at half speed. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune A beautiful-looking film that portends disaster. And disaster arrives, eventually. It just takes its time getting there. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Not bad for a robe-ripper along the lines of The Thorn Birds, but Diary of a Country Priest it ain't. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader This is a fascinating character study about spirituality and religious responsibility that smartly doesn't take its more melodramatic elements very seriously. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com I confess: I fast-forwarded through most of it. Staci Layne Wilson-Yahoo! Movies Dominik Moll never addresses Matthew Gregory Lewis's original groundbreaking ideas in The Monk, nor does he rework the material for a contemporary audience. Tina Hassannia-Slant Magazine Not to be mistaken for a serious treatment of religious fervor or clerical corruption, "The Monk" is instead a knowingly over-the-top bit of gothic nuttiness. Marc Mohan-Oregonian It's garish and crazy (and in French), so it's probably not for everyone. But I can't imagine anyone getting bored. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press Moll's careful direction ensures a balance of the supernatural and the temporal - Ambrosio could either be seen as a victim of demonic forces within his own monastery or the sole architect of his moral downfall. Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire Vincent Cassel does his utmost to make his character intense and compelling, but negligible character development means he fails to hold our interest. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] All talk, no action, The Monk looks good but is weighed down by the Catholic guilt it's trying to critique. -Film4 Studded with lovely painterly images, but ends up feeling cramped and stagey. Andrew Osmond-SFX Magazine The movie broods like nobody's business, setting us up for a temptingly black slab of cassocks-off ecclesiastical depravity. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph | |

Review For Beyond The Hills | |
| The final shot, with windshield wipers struggling to clean away a torrent of muddy water, suggests that no human agency is great enough to handle this world's misery. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune "Beyond the Hills" seethes with astonishment and rage at a broken society marooned between the 21st century and the 16th. Ty Burr-Boston Globe It is a haunting movie, dealing with superstitions, possession, even exorcism, one in which Mungiu poses no easy answers, because there are none to be found. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic If you long for the bleak intelligence of an Ingmar Bergman film, where humankind is deeply flawed and God is indifferently silent and the landscape is cloaked in perpetual winter, then Beyond the Hills promises to be your cup of despair. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail There are no easy villains or heroes in this sad and slow but forcefully told tale, which exhibits the same humanity Mungiu brought to 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, his abortion drama that won the 2007 Palme d'Or. Peter Howell-Toronto Star A film that asks its viewer to consider the nature of good and evil, love and trust - and trust that turns into something like blind faith. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer (Writer-director Christian) Mungiu balances his film's more disturbing content with peaceful shots of the idyllic, surrounding countryside and of intimacy between the two women while slowly building to an inevitable conclusion. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest When the ill and unstable Alina returns to the monastery, just so she can be with her beloved, Beyond the Hills becomes a species of those exorcism movies that audiences gorge on, only done with a realism and ambiguity usually missing from the genre. Richard von Busack-MetroActive What makes this movie unique is that it holds literally everyone in the film accountable for the unfortunate goings on. Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch It's an exorcism movie for everyone who thought, after Mungiu's gruelling abortion buddy-movie 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, that this guy should do an exorcism movie Walter Chaw-Film Freak Central It's an enigmatic and austere film from a region where political, sexual and religious repression are as stifling as the sooty air. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Mungui's rigorous approach to filmmaking isn't a ton of fun to watch, but his ideas stick with you. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press It delivers an emotional punch, in what its director has called a story about the sin of indifference. Chris Knight-National Post Such is the rigorous and high-minded nature of Romanian cinema that even a real-life exorcism story can inspire something loftier than a horror movie. Jason Anderson-The Grid Heartbreak at a Romanian convent Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit ...Cristian Mungiu has taken a real life event...to consider deeply human philosophies such as freedom vs. discipline, love vs. security, the choices facing those without financial recourse and the hypocrisies of organized religions. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews I found it riveting to watch and fascinating to think about afterwards. Philip French-Observer [UK] An undeniably tough watch. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman Stark, deadpan, and darkly dry. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express With this viscerally involving drama, acclaimed Romanian filmmaker Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) tells another strikingly original story of women caught between old and new world beliefs.

Watch Emperor Movie In Theather
Watch Emperor Movie In TheatherMatthew Fox (WORLD WAR Z, I, ALEX CROSS, "Lost") joins with Academy Award (R) winner Tommy Lee Jones (LINCOLN, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THE FUGITIVE, HOPE SPRINGS), newcomer Eriko Hatsune and award-winning Japanese star Toshiyuki Nishida (GET UP!, TSURIBAKA NISSHI 14, TSURIBAKA NISSHI 6, GAKKO, DUN-HUANG) to bring to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender. As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture - and psychological warfare - General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved? Caught between the high-wire political intrigue of his urgent mission and his own impassioned search for the mysterious school teacher (Hatsune) who first drew him to Japan, Fellers can be certain only that the tricky subterfuge about to play out will forever change the history of two nations and his heart.

Review For Emperor | |
| A stodgy movie that mixes dubious history with a clichéd, Madame Butterfly romance story, set in the period immediately following Japan's surrender in 1945. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Emperor falls prey to the temptations endemic to historical docudrama: the desire to pack a miniseries' worth of events into one feature-length film, with romance tossed in for added appeal. Peter Howell-Toronto Star Half crinoline romance, half crusty military-history lesson. Peter Debruge-Variety Just a dull procedural, with the bland Matthew Fox driving around in a jeep and asking questions and not having them answered. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The epigrams fly, but the movie never really takes off. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Director Webber and the screenwriters, David Klass and Vera Blasi ... largely [waste] Jones and some very nice period details. Lou Lumenick-New York Post ... contains some potentially intriguing subject matter compromised by a formulaic approach that renders the periphery characters more compelling than the central ones. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Director Peter Webber, who found a more elegant balance between history and passion in Girl With a Pearl Earring, has turned Emperor into a stagy and hollow kind of story. Jay Stone-Canada.com Emperor missed the opportunity to become an engrossing procedural of historic minutiae, like Lincoln. Nathalie Atkinson-National Post This is a movie that tries to be that great war film, as well as a star-crossed romance and a political thriller, without really succeeding on any front. Tyler Chase-Paste Magazine If you can't take this movie for history, what may it be taken as? As romance it's not believable. Much of the history is censored, including the rumored "Operation Blacklist" involving the pressure from above to clear the names of the royal family. Richard von Busack-MetroActive Offers a labored treatise on the Japanese national character, with endless speeches about honor, devotion, loyalty, and the people's reverence for their emperor as a human deity. Mike D'Angelo-AV Club Other than the restrained romantic flashbacks, there's nothing in this movie that hasn't been done better before. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express The real criminals are the screenwriters ... Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix A decent history lesson--even if one told with a major dose of dramatic license--that's dragged down by a sappy, clumsily played romantic subplot. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Powerful and brilliantly acted. Tommy Lee Jones is remarkable as General Douglas MacArthur in a side of World War II that has remained hidden. Pete Hammond-Movieline However turgid the storytelling, "Emperor" makes its historic points about a widely unknown 1945 wartime episode that played out in U.S occupied Japan after its surrender. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com It comes off as a fairly boring and on-the-nose experience that only history buffs might find intriguing and/or entertaining. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available) Jim Judy-Screen It! A modestly budgeted, respectfully executed post-WWII drama, the film is also entirely edgeless, and aside from a couple of swear words is ready to be shown in classrooms and on the History Channel in endless repeats. Kevin Jagernauth-The Playlist The mealy half-truth director Peter Webber...screenwriters Vera Blasi and David Klass settle for just winds up a waste of everyone's time. Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews Emperor, however, is so sophisticated in its ambitions, mature in its narrative, and expert in its execution that the film's failures are more honorable than fatal. Louis Black-Austin Chronicle It has an understated but still-relevant message that America may reveal its best self not in its moment of military victory, but in the moments that happen afterward. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Romance is an unnecessary addition, but there's a lot more disappointment to come with this lackluster effort. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com | |
Watch The ABCs of Death Movie In Theather
Watch The ABCs of Death Movie In TheatherTwenty-six directors. Twenty-six ways to die. The ABC's OF DEATH is perhaps the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning fifteen countries and featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film. Inspired by children's educational books, the motion picture is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters; each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free reign in choosing a word to create a story involving death. Provocative, shocking, funny and ultimately confrontational, THE ABC's OF DEATH is the definitive vision of modern horror diversity.

Review For The ABCs of Death | |
| Most are exercises in sickening bad taste, with an emphasis on human bodily functions. V.A. Musetto-New York Post At its best when merging shocks with social commentary, this halting compilation improves significantly as it nears the end of the alphabet. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times An enormously impressive and massively indulgent cornucopia of 26 short films from all over the world. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com It's a feast for fans of the genre and a guaranteed ordeal for everyone else. Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times There are just too many stories to fit into two hours - and even with fewer weak links, The ABCs of Death might have fallen short all the same. Ian Buckwalter-NPR Some shorts are four-star material, others incomprehensible and disgusting. The sum total is a cinematic abecedary that barely gets a passing grade. Ethan Gilsdorf-Boston Globe It's an idea that sounds better in concept than in execution. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com The quality of each segment varies widely. Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman A good concept yields scattershot results in this horror-film anthology. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle The ABCs of Death is a repulsive and excessive excuse of blood-soaked entertainment that should make the horror fan in you squeal with delight. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com Weighed down by some sub-par entries and lacking some great genre minds, this compilation overall pales in comparison to other recent anthologies. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Judging from their contributions, some of the filmmakers behind this 26-part anthology find death less fearsome than the thought of a cute girl farting. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix An alphabetically-organized horror antology that's often unsettling but only sporadically rises above mediocrity and sometimes descends into absolute awfulness. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Short, sharp shockers about death in all its infinite variety, one for each letter of the alphabet. Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International The possibilities are delicious. The reality is absolutely vile. Rob Vaux-Mania.com This is one seriously ghoulish and messed-up movie. I realize that certain blood-thirsty moviegoers will consider that high praise. This film is for them. And only them. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune It's a mixed bag, and it's mostly mixed toward the not-good. Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?! If you're gonna bother with this alphabetic orgy of gore and carnage, do it On Demand so you can fast forward through the unbearably bad ones. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com This could have been an interesting opportunity to make short vignettes about the nature of death, which would have made for a far more fascinating film, but unfortunately, many of the filmmakers opted to try and gross out the audience instead. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com It's like you walked into the last day of a graduate film school production class, only to realize during the screenings that each of the students was messed up in the head.

Review For Dead Man Down | |
| Explores a common ground for noir thrillers before stumbling and imploding in a climax that feels like it might have been hijacked from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. James Berardinelli-ReelViews While a mob thriller can be as nasty as it likes, what it can't be is silly. Kyle Smith-New York Post More a dark fairy tale about vengeance than the action-packed crime thriller it purports to be, the film is at times exhilarating, bold, and beautiful -- when it's not busy being ludicrous, fragmented, and just plain stupid. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine Dead Man Down is a very serious thriller featuring very serious stars being very serious about the seriousness at hand. Stephanie Zacharek-Film.com This blend of Scandinavian gloom and Hollywood hokum never jells. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Yep, there's a whole lot going on here, but this is one of those plot-heavy scripts that carries its weight with confidence - the intricate twists don't cheat. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail The brightest attraction in this gripping potboiler is the cast, which is loaded to the gills with high pedigree actors like Isabelle Huppert, who comes just shy of stealing the show as Rapace's comically deaf mother. Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter When an early shootout erupts with a reggae-beat score, it's clear this director sees carnage as nothing more than an opportunity for music-video production values. Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle There's a small writing problem. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Once again Farrell is better than the material he is given - so is Rapace. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com I'm not sure what the attraction was supposed to be here - plot holes and pretentious patter? Rick Kisonak-Film Threat A noirish, rather ugly crime melodrama with pretensions that never get past pulp cliche. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion ... a dour little crime thriller that, in the end, proves more infuriating than intriguing. A pity. Oplev remains a talent to watch. He certainly deserves another shot. Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope This is murky stuff plot-wise, but there's something odd and original about the relationship between Farrell's and Rapace's characters, in their mutual vengeance and shared pain. Michael Smith-Tulsa World Easily among the worst movies of the year. Fred Topel-CraveOnline Though rife with elements that will get it categorized as an action flick, this film aspires to be a psychological thriller as well, and it almost succeeds. Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews Whoever made the trailer for Dead Man Down is a genius because that quick assembly of moments from the movie is exciting, clear and clever -- all the things the movie is not. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press There's a crazypants crime movie and the damaged-people-find-each-other relationship movie, but together, it's a jambalaya that doesn't work. Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?! Oh, to be Colin Farrell and look simply smashing in a pouring rainstorm, a raging wind tunnel or bleeding profusely from the head. Too bad he can't look good while acting out a bad screenplay. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available) Teddy Durgin-Screen It! weird mix of morose northern European arthouse filmmaking with out-of-place Hollywood spectacle Kevin Carr-7M Pictures It doesn't help the effort to be serious when the villains are so cartoonish and simple they should've tried to plant their crime ring in Oz Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know F. Murray Abraham and Armand Assante are criminally underused, but this is an engrossing film that has a well-told story and for that I'd say it makes a good outing at the theater or a great rental option. Kristian Harloff-Schmoes Know It takes forever to get going, unspooling its hopelessly convoluted, unwieldy plot for so long that it loses whatever marginal narrative momentum it possesses.

Watch Oz the Great and Powerful Movie In Theather
Watch Oz the Great and Powerful Movie In TheatherDisney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well. When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great wizard-and just maybe into a better man as well. -- (C) Walt Disney Release Date Oz the Great and Powerful Mar 8, 2013 Wide | |

Review For Oz the Great and Powerful | |
| An imaginative mix of live-action and CGI that pays homage to the iconic images and timeless sense of wonder in the classic The Wizard of Oz without being too deferential. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Oz the Great and Powerful is entirely serviceable family entertainment. Problem is, serviceable doesn't quite cut it when you're talking about the magical land of Oz. Randy Myers-San Jose Mercury News Aside from a trio of witches that can hold its own with Eastwick's in the dishiness department, Oz the Great and Powerful is a peculiarly joyless occasion. David Edelstein-New York Magazine Let us take a moment to praise two great and surprisingly powerful characters: a winged monkey and a wee girl made out of china. Because so much human wonder resides in these two creations of make-up, puppetry, digital effects and lovely performances. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The new Oz falls short of the 1939 Oz in charm and innocence, and certainly in songs. But as family entertainment, it's hard to fault such a rapturous spectacle and astute, suspenseful piece of storytelling. Tom Charity-CNN.com Oz the Great and Powerful somehow manages to be both slavish to its hallowed template (when convenient) and completely tone-deaf to the magic that made it a one-of-a-kind cultural milestone. Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News big and splashy but tin-eared Chris Barsanti-Film Racket Looking backwards in more ways than one. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters Stunning visuals, some suprising plot twists, dreadfully mediocre dialogue delivered by a woefully miscast James Franco. Marc Fennell-Triple J Sam Raimi has managed to recapture the feel and charm of the original 'Wizard of Oz'... and that may be the greatest compliment of all. Kevin A. Ranson-MovieCrypt.com The script is the real problem, lacking in humor and wit (not to mention jaunty musical numbers) and emphasizing the type of sensory overload that seems to pass for family entertainment these days. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com ...big and splashy but tin-eared Chris Barsanti-Filmcritic.com Raimi tries to go all in, but the update can't match the character of the original Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit There were things that offered promise... but one after the other, they blended into the blandness of the storytelling. David Poland-Movie City News That the female roles are the most memorable is intriguing since Oz the Great and Powerful is arguably at heart a broadside against male chauvinism James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk It took courage to believe anything could and should be added to The Wizard of Oz. It took brains to create such a sumptuous fantasia with pixels and keyboard swipes. Now, if it only had a heart. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times When a movie is as beloved as The Wizard of Oz, making a prequel would seem a foolhardy enterprise. Put one foot on the Yellow Brick Road and you risk stepping on your viewers' memories and dreams. Yet Raimi rises to the challenge with dash and dazzle. Jason Best-Movie Talk Oz the Great and Powerful should probably have been titled Oz the so-so and Kind of Entertaining or Oz, At Least It's Better than The Wonderful Land of Oz. Dan Lybarger-KC Active You've got to love any movie that features an army of rollicking Munchkins getting halfway through a Danny Elfman song before, basically, they're told to shut up. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up [Director Sam] Raimi fills every square centimetre of the frame with aggressively attractive images...Simply put, Oz is simply beautiful to behold. Jim Schembri-3AW It's Mila Kunis! And she's dressed like she took the wrong tornado on the way to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Mark Ramsey-MovieJuice! Oz The Great And Powerful is as good as it could be. Matt Neal-The Standard You know, its heart was in the right place. Widgett Walls-Needcoffee.com Just like Dorothy's technicolour journey before, this trip through Oz is once again smeared by this ill deserving charlatan. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show If you liked Hugo you'll be pleased with Oz's coterie of zoopraxiscopes and praxinoscopes and zoetropes (Oh, my!). Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter The hackneyed message is about the importance of 'belief,' but in what? The idea that even the most talented and impressive women should move aside if a man wants to be in charge? John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) | |
