<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/b/11_buckylarson.htm> Bucky Larson:
Born to Be a Star
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Blatantly silly and a bit bland, "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a
Star" is just okay on final assessment, but it's the kind of film one could
imagine passing the time with on a gloomy Sunday afternoon. Better than
nothing, yes, but still more often than not on autopilot.

★ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - "Burke & Hare" is a blundering misfire that somehow manages
to waste both a quirkily macabre premise and an ensemble of usually
outstanding character actors on a depressing comedy with maybe one fleeting
laugh to offer over the course of 91 minutes.

★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - It is easy-and sobering-to imagine how something could
potentially happen exactly like this, and on such a massive scale. Therein
lies the grim beauty of "Contagion," which avoids sensationalizing its
subject in lieu of treating it with grave realism and fatalistic
forthrightness.

★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Just as "Creature" should be getting to the down-and-dirty
business at hand, it keeps heading off on unnecessary, incomprehensible
tangents. With no understanding of how to build tension and scares along
the way, the film unravels quickly before wearing out its welcome.

★★½ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - At once out-of-touch and universal, the film takes up space
on its own plane of existence. Slowly, but surely, the people on screen
become more familiar to the viewer. There is an empathy in "Tanner Hall"
that overcomes its familiar trappings and iffy low-budget scope.

★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - An immature, contrived, sap-infested drama of feuding family
members, feel-good histrionics and mixed martial arts, the film opens with
a certain cautious promise before falling into rote, melodramatic formula.
The longer it goes, the more insanely moronic, supremely annoying and
egregiously manipulative it dares to become.
