Mini-Review: Beautiful animation and a terrific voice cast carry this otherwise average kid's fare. Arguably the best lit animated film ever made.

Mini-Review: Eva Green's hotness almost makes up for the fact that she apparently can't act. Almost.

Mini-Review: If Scream dissected the horror genre, Cabin in the Woods chops it up into little pieces and throws it in the air like confetti. Its perfectly obvious why the internet and critical community adores this film: because they're the only people who will care about all its self-referential, masturbatory premises and twists. The irony is most of the audience won't care they're being made fun because they're too caught up in patting themselves on the back for understanding everything.

Mini-Review: American Reunion is as funny as any of the Pie sequels have gotten, but the film lacks the poignancy or cleverness most "rehash from a new perspective" films unleash. Despite its mediocre dialog and even worse acting, American Reunion drops enough genuine laughs to warrant a sit through.

Mini-Review: Everything in the Hunger Games exists for the sake of existing. As a ripoff of Battle Royale, The Hunger Games lacks the visceral flare or sheer despair. As a film about important human issues, the Hunger Games really only glances them in a few extremely brief instances that are poorly realized and smothered by two hours of ridiculous love scenes, unrealized tension and underdeveloped characters. This film's success is a baffling reminder of how modern Hollywood works.
