But I'm a Cheerleader (2000)
But I'm a Cheerleader, tries to be outrageous and inflammatory but falls pitifully flat.

Applause (Applaus) (2010)
As a showcase for its star, the Danish actress Paprika Steen, it's still rewarding in its own quiet, jarring way.

Get On Up (2014)
Get on out to 'Get on Up', a superb and edgy biopic of the Godfather Of Soul, James Brown. Chadwick Boseman is possessed by the spirit and demons of the man and may be Oscar bound.

Coming of age movie about the Beat Generation. Daniel Radcliffe as poet Allen Ginsberg continues to divorce himself from his Harry Potter roots standing out in a fine ensemble.

All Is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford gives the performance of his life in this one man show brilliantly directed by J.C.Chandor. It's a towering achievement for both of them.

12 Years a Slave (2013)
Brutal, harrowing, powerful and exceptionally well-acted. Worth seeing but not for those with weak stomachs. Director Steve McQueen doesn't spare the viewer.

The Fifth Estate (2013)
Smart,intelligent that plays like a current 'All The President's Men' , a journalistic thriller with lots of pertinent questions but no real answers.

Escape Plan (2013)
I was shocked but this Sly/Arnold combo package flick is far more entertaining as an action film than you might expect. Thanks to a clever twist, it's actually a lot of fun.

Captain Phillips (2013)
Paul Greengrass has made a hell of a white knuckle thriller out of a story in which most people know the ending going in. Tom Hanks' best performance in years.

Thanks For Sharing (2013)
It's a romantic comedy about sex addiction but somehow it pulls off the premise. Director Stuart Blumberg takes some unlikely material for the genre and makes it work.

Enough Said (2013)
The ads say 'at last a movie for adults' and this time the advertising is not lying. A wonderful grown up movie. Gandolfini and Louis Dreyfus are terrific together.

Don Jon (2013)

Baggage Claim (2013)
A lame comedy that looks like it was made - and belongs - in the 60's. Despite a game cast this movie is broad without being even remotely believable.

Rush (2013)
One of the best films this year - or any year. Certainly the finest film about auto racing I've seen because it focuses on the human element.

With more puns than any one movie should be allowed, this is a decent sequel that should appeal to the younger members of the family.

The World's End (2013)
The first 30 minutes had me hooked but when it turned into an over-the-top mashup of a sci-fi alien invasion flick you lost me, guys. Geeks will flock but so what?

The To Do List (2013)
Forgettable movie about a college-age girl trying to make up for lost time sexually may be just a 'to do' lister for that demo and no one else.

Turbo (2013)
A snail with the need for speed turns into the best animated film I have seen all year. We may have seen this all in Ratatouille but it still seems fresh as a slug.
