• This Is the End (2013) - IMDb 9/10

  2013-06-16 17:15

  

  Brilliantly-written comedy about the End of Days that balances the right amounts of self-deprecating humor, witty pop culture references, gross-out gags, and a bit of suspense. There is never a dull moment in this movie. James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill and Craig Robinson all brought their A games. Some quite delightful cameos, too. Highly recommended.

• Man of Steel (2013) - IMDb 8/10

  2013-06-15 21:00

  

  An inventive, thrilling, thoroughly satisfying reboot that cleverly redefines Superman's origin story. I particularly like how they've set up the dynamic between Clark Kent and Lois Lane here. It's deeper, more realistic, and has you rooting for the two of them together as a team. How Superman defeated the bad guy was a bit shocking, though. I was like, whoa!

• Now You See Me (2013) - IMDb 8/10

  2013-06-02 21:02

  

  An entertaining heist movie whose only major fault is that it spoon-feeds the audience with all the details, rather than allow them to arrive at them on their own. Then again, perhaps the filmmakers were afraid they'd alienate the audience too much if they made the movie a little bit more of a challenge to piece together and understand.

• Behind the Candelabra (2013) - IMDb 7/10

  2013-05-31 21:30

  

  It's too bad that this HBO TV movie is ineligible for the Oscars. Michael Douglas and Matt Damon both give heartfelt, genuine performances as Liberace and his much younger lover, respectively. The story of Liberace is a sad one. Maybe that's why he hid behind all the glitter and dazzle.

• SubUrbia (1996) - IMDb 8/10

  2013-05-30 21:35

  

  It's billed as a comedy/drama, but there is nothing to laugh at in this intense, dark and disturbing film that examines the lives of a group of aimless young adults trying to make sense of their lives, hopes and dreams, in the process dissecting themes of racism, commercialism, idealism, nihilism, self-esteem, self-entitlement, and what it means to be American.
