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.

2012 Films Not Yet In Theaters
After Lucia
Marilyn Ferdinand @ Ferdy on Films
- Excerpt: People who see After Lucia may use it to start a dialogue about bullying and the need for open communication between parents and children. But the issues it raises go to the very heart of the psychic minefield of sex and the human pecking order, as well as the depths of depravity and violence to which the id unchecked by human reason can sink.
War of the Dead
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This is a zombie film with little to no gore. It’s an in and out mission with no suspense or scares. “War of the Dead” is simply an exercise in filmmaking.
