Bachelorette (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 7th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

When Bachelorette gets things right, when it is running at full-speed barking out what’s on its mind and presenting its trio of heroines as the sympathetic complex human messes they are, the comedy soars to heights that had me sitting in the theatre holding back cheers.

For a Good Time, Call… (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 31st, 2012 - Movie Reviews

For a Good Time, Call… disconnects in the middle of its conversation, and as amusing as what it attempts to say might be having the call be so unctuously truncated is annoying to say the least.

Robot & Frank (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 31st, 2012 - Movie Reviews

While Robot & Frank doesn’t exactly go anyplace all that unexpected, how Schreier handles the material and the emotions he brought out of me certainly were.

Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 31st, 2012 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

Sleepwalk with Me made me laugh, and as far as comedies are concerned that’s one attribute worthy of celebration no matter how nightmarish the ordeal the main character is going through might prove to be.

The Apparition (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 24th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

The Apparition is a tediously uninspired ghostly mess, and in the cold light of day the wonder isn’t why it took so long for Warner Bros to put it into general release, but instead why they felt the need to do so at all.

Hit & Run (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 24th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

Hit & Run is relatively well acted and shows a great deal of promise, just not enough of the latter for the former to matter near as much as it otherwise would.

Premium Rush (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 24th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

Premium Rush is worth the price of admission and then some, this flick a two-wheeled thrill ride I can’t wait to see again.

Compliance (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 17th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

It’s bravura filmmaking, and without question Compliance is one of the finest features I’ll likely see in all of 2012.
