Locker 13
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Nothing here is terribly haunting, but at least someone is trying to make something like a horror movie these days that isn’t about buckets of gore and inventive torture.
The Raid 2
Rangga Adithia @ http://raditherapy.com [Indonesian]
David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: In expanding his scope to include a dozen shopworn crime story clichés, Evans has spread thin, leaving gaps in the undeniable acceleration that marked The Raid: Redemption. What we’re left with is a sequel that is both bigger and lesser than its predecessor.

God’s Not Dead
Mike McGranaghan @ Film Racket
- Excerpt: While it most certainly has some very good qualities, it is ultimately undone — at least for general audiences — by a completely unsubtle desire to do more than simply tell a meaningful story; it wants to rock the world.

On My Way
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This offbeat gem of a road trip film…is a love letter to France’s reigning queen of cinema and a more satisfying experience than Spain’s highly touted “Gloria.”

A Long Way Down
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A suicide-club meet-cute? It shouldn’t work, but it does, as wonderfully sardonic British humor and as a reminder that you’re not alone in being messed up in this insane world.
Ragini MMS 2
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
La Selva Tranquila
Donald Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Starred Up
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
