Here’s a sampling of film’s at Tribeca so far this week.

The Pretty One lives up to its title: it’s pretty and cute and everything nice!
Tribeca Review: G.B.F.

G.B.F. was lackluster and slightly irritating at best, offensive at worst.
Snap Review of The Call

The Call was one of those bad movies that was so fun to watch. Halle Berry: back in action!
Snap Review: Evil Dead

‘Evil Dead’ manages to be its own film while still throwing in nods to the original and what it lacks in actual scares it makes up for in brutality.
Snap Review of Admission

Admission was rather boring despite its enticing cast and could-be fun plot.
Snap Review of G.I. Joe: Retaliation

G. I. Joe: Retaliation was a fun action movie that gets us ready for a summer full of the same.
Snap Review of The Place Beyond the Pines

The Place Beyond the Pines proves to be a strong follow-up to Blue Valentine.
Bantering: Oz The Great and Powerful

The prequel to Dorothy’s trip down the yellow brick road, this film brings out the visual beauty, but falls a bit short on the ingenuity that is a part of the Land of Oz.

With beautiful visuals, a wonderful performance by Rachel Weisz, and an intriguing plot line, the audience is almost able to forget how poor the script and remaining cast are, almost.
SXSW Review | Spring Breakers

One hot movie that doesn’t leave us with the flames we anticipated
SXSW Review | Much Ado About Nothing

I knew when I sat down… actually, I knew as soon as I heard this film was being made, that one botched acting job could ruin the movie. You know, there were many factors in this that could have ruined one of Shakespeare’s best romcoms, but 45-minutes in I was pleasantly surprised to find that [...]
(Sundance) Snap Review: Robot & Frank

An unlikely friendship forges between a cranky retiree and a slick new robot.
Bantering – SIDE EFFECTS

While watching, viewers may experience the side effects of mystery, intrigue and deception. Director Steven Sodebergh’s last film is an entertaining thriller in the vein of the classics.
Snap Review of Identity Thief

Identity Thief proved to be no different than I was expecting: a bad comedy that does the trick if you’re looking for such.

Soderbergh once again proves he can succeed in any genre when provided with a superb cast and a plethora of unpredictable twists.

(Sundance) Review – SHOPPING

Shopping manages to take a great location and original plot and turn it into a mess
(Sundance) Review: Stories We Tell

Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell is a magnificent documentary that explores much more than just the film’s intended subject.
(Sundance) Review: Kill Your Darlings

John Krokidas’s Kill Your Darlings has two very good things working in its favor: a real life story that is incredibly interesting, and Ben Foster.
(Sundance) Review: The Crash Reel

The Crash Reel is one of the greats that came out of this year’s Sundance!
Snap Review: The Impossible

‘The Impossible’ struggles with a lack of suspense after the tsunami hits, mostly due to the trailer that reveals the film’s ending, but thanks to the standout performance by Tom Holland it is a film that should not be ignored.
Snap Review of This is 40

This is 40 is this winter’s feel-good comedy filled to the brim with laughs and full-hearted emotions.
