Cold in July
- Excerpt: … the most eccentric crime saga since ‘Killing Them Softly’ … edgy, suspenseful, cathartic … provides Sam Shepard with his juiciest role in far too long.
- Excerpt: With the actors so in command of their space, Mickle is freed to take the crime-fiction plotline and put it through a John Carpenter food processor.
Edge of Tomorrow
José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Estruendoso vehículo anual de lucimiento de Tom Cruise que propone un buen aspecto visual, claro, pero que se asienta sobre uno de los argumentos más endebles de los últimos años. Casi doscientos millones de presupuesto, sí señor.
Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
- Excerpt: It’s a testament to the film’s balance of slickly executed action, engaging cast and moments of welcome humour that even the many logical inconsistencies can’t derail the enjoyment of it.
Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Welcome to the world of tomorrow…

Gebo and the Shadow
Carson Lund @ In Review Online
- Excerpt: By the time its sudden conclusion hits you with the sort of multivalent power that we’ve come to expect from Oliveira’s seemingly offhand endings, the film’s questions are evident.

The Immigrant
Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Slow-paced and sinister, it’s a strangely unpredictable period piece that penetrates the soft underbelly illusion of the American experience.
In Fear
- Excerpt: UK helmer Lovering tightens the screws the old-fashioned way, through atmospher and suggestion … (It) possesses a bleakly funny Pinter-esque quality.

Losing LeBron
Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: “Losing LeBron” is an effective documentary about the devastation the plagued the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio when it’s favorite son decided to abandon The Caveliers and join up with the Miami Heat through free agency. But it’s really about the psychology of a city that really never seemed to have a sense of pride even before LeBron became its hero.

Zombeavers
Brent McKnight @ Giant Freakin’ Robot
- Excerpt: If you don’t know what you’re getting into by buying a ticket to a ‘Zombeavers,’ you deserve to have your mind blown.
