Young Adult
Filled with pain disguised as comedy, it presents a real-life Peter Pan complex where letting go of one’s youth is complicated and painful.

Yogi Bear
One of the worst family films I’ve seen since another animated adaptation: Garfield. Talking bears aside, the film lacks logic, energy and, most of all, fun.

Wild Rovers
Blake Edwards proves that he was a more diverse filmmaker than perhaps he is given credit for. Sure, he can still whip out the laughs like few other directors could, but there’s a lot more substance here as well showing a deeper mind at work.
Vengeance
A film that never delves into the cartoonish or absurd but rather maintains a high level of intensity and purpose.
Walt & El Grupo
An intimate, albeit uneventful, story filled with flashy graphics but not a lot of substance.
Waking Sleeping Beauty
Combining honest commentary with archival footage, Waking Sleeping Beauty offers a refreshing look at a side large companies often steer clear of.

The Winning Season
Although not horrible, it’s also a bit of a moral mess at times that is far too predictable, even when you look at it as a relatively harmless family film.
When in Rome
[Bell] carries a classic presence and charm that is tough not to like. Yet, at the same time, she does so with a little spunk and sass.
The Brothers Warner
Told from the insider’s perspective of Harry Warner’s granddaughter Cass Warner, comes a slightly Michael Moore-esque look at the establishment of the Warner empire in Hollywood.
Up
Filled with wonderment and intrigue, it tells a timeless tale of adventure and aging that touches on almost every emotion.
