The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (2011)
Surprisingly old-fashioned. It seems to be having an argument with itself: the dazzling but often antiseptic immersiveness of the viewing experience is countered by storytelling suffused ...

The Flowers of War (2011)
Mr. Bale, turning in a respectable if oddly chipper performance under the circumstances, has the unfortunate task of playing a character who doesn't really add up.

Apollo 18 (2012)
A drab combination of science-fiction horror film and conspiracy thriller, accomplishes something the world wasn't really crying out for: it recreates the tedium of watching the later Apo...

Colombiana (2011)
The overall effect is distancing; there are some early comic moments that have you laughing along with the movie, but eventually the clashing tones and preposterousness just have you laug...

3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy (2011)
Sex in this film looks so nonecstatic that a better title might have been "3D Sex and Zen: Zero Child Policy."

The Journals of Musan (2010)
Mr. Park's screenplay, pedestrian direction and stolid performance don't set us up to care.

Final Destination 5 (2011)

Littlerock (2010)
It's significantly smaller and more casual than "Mystery Train" or "Lost in Translation," movies its premise calls to mind, but in some ways it's more layered and complex.

Life in a Day (2011)
It's a hard movie to engage with or even sit through, despite the fact that much of the material is interesting in its own right. Oddly, but perhaps predictably, the problem is the resolu...

Fire in Babylon (2010)
It all adds up to an entertaining 88 minutes, despite the film's ramshackle construction and its once-over-lightly approach to political, cultural and athletic history.

Love Etc. (2010)
That things tend not to end, or bode, well doesn't detract from the overall Hallmark vibe.

Some Days Are Better Than Others (2010)
As a meditation Some Days has its virtues - if you're in the market for a picture-postcard bummer - but it will leave your mellowed mind pretty quickly.

Exporting Raymond (2010)
It has the structure and some of the pleasures of a well-made sitcom or docu-reality show, despite the nervous-looking, unhappy guy at its center; it could have been called "Nobody Unders...

When Harry Tries to Marry (2011)
Producing smarm at the high level of When Harry Met Sally requires special talent, and when you fall short all you're left with is garden-variety smarm.
