The Karate Kid (2010) 67% EDIT “Though not as memorable as the original Karate Kid, this version follows the same formula... and models the same message. Mr. Han teaches Dre how to "live" Kung Fu, a lesson that inspires respect and consideration for those around him.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) 37% EDIT “As a romance, the movie actually works well. The interaction between Gyllenhaal and Arterton flows naturally... Too bad the movie was not more selective about which video game elements to include and which to trim out.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) 54% EDIT “The emphasis is less on "being yourself" and more on not using other people to seek your own means, which is a nice twist on a movie cliché.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Grown Ups (2010) 10% EDIT “In theory, the cast of this movie could be a sort of comedic dream team. In reality, the ensemble falls flat.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Just Wright (2010) 47% EDIT “Latifah delivers a terrific everywoman performance... The romance feels grounded, if somewhat dry.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Chimpanzee (2012) 74% EDIT “Chimpanzee is the most simple form of nature documentary: one without any agenda but to craft a compelling narrative.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Marmaduke (2010) 9% EDIT “Wilson does a fine job embodying the title character with an overtly confident yet whiny personality that suits this hapless Great Dane... Unfortunately, the movie brings out the worst in its human actors.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review I Am Love (2009) 81% EDIT “The camera lingers on quivering flowers, succulent shrimp, and bare skin with equal affection, as if to say, "All of this is natural and should be enjoyed." Fortunately, the movie does not ignore the consequences.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Brave (2012) 78% EDIT “The movie is funny, memorable, heart warming, and beautifully animated.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) 52% EDIT “Director Bryan Singer is adept at grounding fantastic characters in a believable reality. His PG-13 film includes humor and a shifting point-of-view... Singer's effort is helped by a stellar cast.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Bernie (2011) 88% EDIT “Linklater, best known for his narrative-based comedies, did not set out to make a mockery of life in Carthage, Texas. Instead, he seeks humor in the real choices and lifestyles these characters represent.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012) 36% EDIT “The Odd Life of Timothy Green has all the moments of laughter and tears that should add up to a winning family movie. But its message is so garbled, the unanswered questions mar the experience even as the credits roll.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Girl in Progress (2012) 34% EDIT “It makes the point that observation and presence are two indispensable qualities of a loving relationship - a good lesson for a 90-minute movie, but not a brilliant one.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) 87% EDIT “Beasts of the Southern Wild portrays a young girl learning to harden herself to survive. But it does a lot of rambling to tell a dead-end story.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The World According to Dick Cheney (2013) 80% EDIT “Less politically aware audiences might be better served by Cutler's Showtime documentary... Others will conclude nearly two hours unentertained and with no new intimacy with the subject.” – WORLD Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2011) 69% EDIT “Arnold's movie... does not offer character redemption or lessons learned.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Much Ado About Nothing (2012) 87% EDIT “It demonstrates the tireless creativity and ability to reinvigorate familiar tropes that earned Whedon fans in the first place.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Killing Kennedy (2013) 56% EDIT “A mix of narrative and documentary that works better than it sounds, Killing Kennedy provides a tantalizing, if shallow, taste of history.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Earth to Echo (2014) 49% EDIT “Earth to Echo is meant to be an adventure movie for kids, but only succeeds at being a dull E.T. knock-off with no real suspense or characters to care about.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Words and Pictures (2013) 44% EDIT “For a movie mainly about inspiration, Words and Pictures is spectacularly lacking in it.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review San Andreas (2015) 48% EDIT “The world is ending, again, but this time The Rock is so well established as the man who can save it, San Andreas spends more time coasting on his reputation than establishing peril.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review An Open Secret (2014) 89% EDIT “It is possible there is an institutionalized issue of child molestation in Hollywood, but this is not the film to expose it... An Open Secret glosses over the details, presents little evidence, and fails to make a call to action.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) 81% EDIT “At its best, this is a movie about friendship, and it is refreshing that no central teen romance distracts from that bond. But ultimately Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is about "me," and Greg is easily the least interesting character in the movie.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) 68% EDIT “the banter is quick, the men are handsome, the woman beautiful (and smarter than the average Bond girl), and... Ritchie's tongue-in-cheek style reminds the audience not to take it too seriously.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Left Behind (2014) 0% EDIT “It's a fairly flimsy premise, though no flimsier than plenty of summer blockbusters, and the suspense feels real, as does the terror of being left behind.” – WORLD Aug 6, 2018 Full Review
