Craig YounkinOctober 15, 2017
This is probably the best acting we've seen from {Jackie}, conveying great sadness with very few words.
'Marshall' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinOctober 15, 2017
Oddly enough this is a bio-pic that comes across more as a crowd-pleasing good time than something that's going to be remembered at the end of the year.
'Paddington' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinJanuary 18, 2015
It might be aimed more toward kids, but it has universal themes, and it earns its lovability too much to judge it too harshly for its flaws.
'Blackhat' Movie Review (C-)Craig YounkinJanuary 18, 2015
'Boyhood' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinAugust 10, 2014

'Guardians...Galaxy' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinAugust 7, 2014
'Life Itself' Movie Review (A-)Craig YounkinJuly 18, 2014
The behind the scenes tidbits and how they both nurtured smaller films while also making criticism more accessible is film fan gold.

'Tammy' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinJuly 3, 2014
'Snowpiercer' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJune 29, 2014

'Neighbors' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinMay 12, 2014
'The Double' Movie Review (A-)Craig YounkinMay 7, 2014
Ayoade lets the paranoia continue to seep into this thriller, but the psychology behind it keeps it identifiable.
'Draft Day' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMay 5, 2014
Draft Day is a tepid drama, a nonsensical sports film, and above all, a desperate heart-tugger.
'Brick Mansions' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMay 5, 2014

'Nymphomaniac: Vol. II' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinApril 2, 2014

'Noah' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinMarch 28, 2014
'Sabotage' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMarch 27, 2014
Tries to be a psychological thriller, tries to be sort of a western, tries to be a drug cartel thriller but hardly gets any of it right.
'Budapest Hotel' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinMarch 26, 2014
Anderson gives us chases, murder, prison escapes, and mystery here in what amounts to live-action cartoons doing their goofy best in a sorta-thriller.
'Divergent' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinMarch 23, 2014
Both painfully dull and perplexing, nothing about this movie works well.
'Muppets Most Wanted' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinMarch 23, 2014
For the most part they hit a pretty close bulls-eye, if not a grand slam.
