The Watch (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 27th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

While the movie does have its share of laughs, and even though there are some inspired moments, overall The Watch is a shockingly middling affair that oftentimes feels haphazardly slapped together.

Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 13th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

Ice Age: Continental Drift isn’t very good, and if a fifth adventure ever ends up being made here’s hoping it follows in the footsteps of the other odd-numbered entries in the series and brings back the good-natured fun this fourth effort lacks.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a movie I’m going to be treasuring for a very long time.

To Rome with Love (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 4th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

To Rome with Love is overstuffed yet also oddly vague, and while the better bits are wonderful the lesser ones irritated me so much they made the final product a disappointing afterthought in the career of a justifiably lauded filmmaker we all know is capable of better.

Ted (2012)

As funny as Ted can be the magic of the early moments quickly dissipates, making this one-joke comedy borderline unbearable.

Grassroots (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 22nd, 2012 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

Grassroots shows that, win or lose, hope still exists, and that the tiniest of voices can still be heard if they have the guts to stand before a microphone and have the courage to make their opinions public.

Hysteria (2011)

Hysteria isn’t perfect, but it is a heck of a lot of fun, and considering the subject matter that’s probably what it needed to be.

Lola Versus (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 15th, 2012 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

Lola Versus comes up frustratingly short, making my recommending it as a worthwhile option for a night out at the local cinema a virtual impossibility.

Rock of Ages (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 15th, 2012 - Movie Reviews

But when you look at Cruise, when you see what he decides to bring to this ‘Nothin’ But A Good Time’ party, when you find yourself awestruck by his ability to mine places and corners of the human condition the rest of the picture seemingly has no interest in, you quickly realize Rock of Ages could be so much more than it is.
