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
Beauty Is Embarrassing
Joshua Brunsting @ CriterionCast
Chicken With Plums
Frank Swietek @ One Guy’s Opinion
Detropia
- Excerpt: Ewing and Grady capture something of this crumbling metropolis, and let the images speak for themselves. The result is a beautiful, thoughtful, and indisputably difficult motion picture.
Easton’s Article
Mathieu Li-Goyette @ Panorama-cinéma [French]
- Excerpt: Reprenant les scénarios fignolés en boucles temporelles où les voyages dans le temps affectent de part et d’autre le présent et le futur dans une suite de décisions et de coups de tête surprenants, ce premier essai saura égarer même son spectateur le plus attentif par des cris de génie qu’on interprète plutôt comme les égarements d’un fan fini de science-fiction.
Excision
Mathieu Li-Goyette @ Panorama-cinéma [French]
- Excerpt: Le problème du cinéma de genre, c’est qu’il s’abandonne dans le genre et qu’ici, dans cette version gore de J’ai tué ma mère, le rythme trop télégraphié et routinier laisse deviner que trop de pages ont été écrites pour remplir les blancs.
Hospitalite
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
2011 Films
The Hot Potato
- Excerpt: In 1969, fire broke out at a government research establishment near London; the resulting explosion obliterated its interior. This charming little comedy caper, modelled after the Ealing greats, explores what might have happened if a lump of uranium from that establishment had found its way into the hands of two East End chancers whose only thought was how much cash it might be worth.
Karate-Robo Zaborgar
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
- Excerpt: From what I could tell, Iguchi’s movie was a loving, and comic, tribute to a childhood fantasy, updated with computer generated special effects, some mildly risque humor, and a few sprays of blood here and there.
