The Great Gatsby (also in 3D)
"Baz Luhrmann?s The Great Gatsby is the first must-see film of Hollywood?s summer season, if for no other reason than its jaw-dropping evocation of Roaring ?20s New York ? in 3-D, no less."?Lou Lumenick, New York Post.?Full Review
"The acting is really good, particularly Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby. But boy, with a running time of nearly 21/2 hours and a near-constant bombardment of visual overstimulation, it?s exhausting."?Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic.?Full Review

Iron Man 3
- Run Time:?130mins.
- Starring:?Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert Downey Jr.
- Director:?Shane Black
- Trailer
"Besides rehabbing a hero who overcomes anxiety to save the world and defeat the terror-industrial complex by the simple matter of cloning his body armor, the movie proves that there?s still intelligent life on Planet Marvel. As you?re propelled out of the theater on IM3?s hydraulic lift of pleasures, you?re likely to say, ?That is how it?s done.??Richard Corliss, Time.
"Given the keys to the franchise and a role in the writing, Black has massively upped the verbal sparring and kept the broad inventiveness of comic-book malleability in mind. ?I?m a mechanic,? Stark says to the boy in a moment of self-doubt. That?s 100% Black, that line, a tidy code of craft, and the jitters pass."?Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York.

Peeples
"Peeples may appropriate its entire premise and plot structure from ?Meet the Parents,? but its heart is suffused with French cinema." Variety.?Full Review
"Director Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes." Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly.?Full Review

The Big Wedding
"There?s not a bad performance in this movie. De Niro, Keaton and Sarandon are particularly good, what a surprise. But it feels as if all the guests at ?The Big Wedding? are wearing ID tags telling us their one Plot Point." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times.
"There is nothing about the movie that isn?t utterly predictable. You meet a character, and it?s immediately obvious what?s going to happen to him (or her). And then it happens. Maybe it?s meant to make you feel good about your deductive reasoning skills or something. But mostly it just makes you want to see something else."?Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic.

Mud
"Reese Witherspoon's unglamorous, understated supporting work recalls the kinds of films she made before becoming a movie star. Other recognizable faces include Sam Shepard, Joe Don Baker, Michael Shannon, and Sarah Paulson." James Berardinelli, ReelViews.?Full Review
"It?s hard to believe Nichols thinks he can get away with all this and harder still to believe he does. It?s the quality of the attention that he brings ? his focus ? that makes his work so engrossing." David Edelstein, New York Magazine (Vulture).?Full Review

Pain & Gain
"This is easily Bay?s best movie, the work of a filmmaker with a cracked sense of humor that he is able to share with the audience." Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald.
"Yes, the canon invoked for this film is that of the Three Stooges, but it?s still not as magnificently berserk as they can be. Set your expectations carefully for this one." Louis Black, Austin Chronicle.

42
"One of the all-time great sports movies ? primarily because it's one of the all-time great sports stories." Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times.
"42 is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful ? but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It?s a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times.

The Croods (3D)
"This Chris Sanders fellow knows how to craft a heart-warming animation, and if not for a few minor problems this would have had a legitimate shot at the best animated movie of 2013."?Laremy Legel, Film.com
"The movie is at its most interesting and amusing when riffing on how cavemen might have reacted to new experiences and ideas, like fire and shoes. Whether the kiddies will appreciate that is unclear, but they?ll certainly like the voice work done by Emma Stone as Eep."?Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times.
