Roeper Movie Reviews

Don Jon (R)

Offbeat, frank and often surprising gem. B+

Rush (R)

âRushâ ranks among the best movies about auto racing ever made, featuring two great performances from the leads. A

Thanks For Sharing (R)

After the bleak brilliance of âShameless,â this is an almost sunny look at sexual addiction. B+

Enough Said (PG-13)

âEnough Saidâ is a rarity. A-

Prisoners (R)

âPrisonersâ is a white-knuckle, near-masterpiece of a thriller; Hugh Jackman delivers the best performance of his career. A

Kick-Ass 2 (R)

All too often âKick-Ass 2â plays like a Comic Con gone insane. C-

âLee Danielsâ The Butlerâ (PG-13)

Forest Whitaker gives one the crowning performances of his career. A

Lovelace (R)

âLovelaceâ is a well-made but grim film. B+

Elysium (R)

This is one of the better action films of the year. A-

âThe Spectacular Nowâ ()

"The Spectacular Nowâ just might be the best movie youâll see this summer. A+

Planes (PG)

âPlanesâ is an almost instantly forgettable adventure. C

Weâre the Millers (R)

âWeâre the Millersâ clicks on just enough cylinders to warrant a recommendation. B-

2 Guns (R)

Preposterous but a bleep-load of fun. B+

The To-Do List (R)

âThe To Do Listâ is raunchy, sometimes smart and hilarious, but more often just disgusting and unfunny. C+

The Wolverine (PG-13)

This is a serious, sometimes dark and deliberately paced story. B+

Blue Jasmine (PG-13)

This is one strange, sometimes uneven but mostly mesmerizing film. A-

Girl Most Likely (PG-13)

Strives for an indie comedy vibe, but this is grim stuff. D+

The Conjuring (R)

Familiar territory, but stylish and filled with SCARE moments. B+

Pacific Rim (PG-13)

A ridiculously entertaining (and often just plain ridiculous) monster-robot movie that plays like that âRock âem Sock âem Robotsâ game from the 1960s. B

Grown-Ups 2 (PG-13)

The comedy is so toothless, the bullies are so cartoonishly stupid and the physical jokes are so obviously staged. D+

The Heat (R)

One of the most entertaining movies of the year. A-

White House Down (PG-13)

The Bling Ring (R)

Emma Watson is comedic gold A-

Monsters University (G)

This is a safe, predictable, edge-free, nearly bland effort from a studio that rarely hedges its bets. C+

World War Z (PG-13)

Entertaining as hell. B+

Man of Steel (PG-13)

Thereâs very little humor or joy in this Superman story. C+

This is the End (R)

This is one of the most tasteless, ridiculous and funniest comedies of the 21st century. A

After Earth (PG-13)

I could go the rest of my life without seeing another grotesque, screeching monster with deadly pincers D

Now You See Me (PG-13)

We donât spend enough time with the trickster thieves to care about them D+

Epic (PG)

The story is just OK C+
