Because of embargoes (those happy little restrictions on when critics can post reviews, good or bad), a lot of our critics aren’t able to share links with you until release day. Here are some last-minute reviews for this weekend’s upcoming films. We’ve kept in all the reviews posted yesterday as well so you can have more help in deciding what to see (if you haven’t already).
Our critics have been hard at work reviewing the latest films. Here is a look at what’s coming out this weekend (in select cities, check your local listings) and what else may be in theaters right now.

2013 Films Not Yet In Theaters

The King of Streets
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
Piazza Fontana: The Italian Conspiracy
Ron Wilkinson @ ItsJustMovies.com
- Excerpt: This is a cryptic film for those who do not know the story. Learn the story first and the film comes to life.

Willow Creek
Stephen Saito @ The Moveable Fest

2012 Films
The Hunt
[New Reviews Today] For member reviews of this film, follow this link
In Bed With Ulysses
- Excerpt: The documentary skews to the scholarly side, so likely won’t appeal to filmgoers who aren’t at least somewhat familiar with the author, but “In Bed With Ulysses” should go a long way to aiding the willing in sorting out Joyce’s intent.
