Action/Adventure Rated PG-13
“…like watching a car compactor at work in a junkyard.
“If you’re lucky – and this is rare – you can figure out which robots are fighting and, eventually, who won.
“Say what you will about these movies, but in audio terms they’re things of beauty.”
“…like watching a chainsaw tear apart a toy box.
Comedy Rated R
"…laces its copious gross-out gags, pothead humor and female nudity with the smartest social satire this side of ‘The Daily Show.’"
“Narratively inept, unconvincingly edited and nearly deficient of suspense…”
“I can’t help but wonder if Pain & Gain is the reason Michael Bay was put on this earth.”
“Considering there are so many new ways to tell an alien-invasion story (found footage, mockumentary, spoof), Battle: Los Angeles is almost defiantly old-fashioned.
“As smart about identity politics as Dear White People and as amusing a spoof of Michael Bay movies as, well, Pain & Gain.”
“To watch Super 8 is to witness the birth of our current geek culture.
