Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), Review by Justin Craig
While it’s a heavily flawed film, there’s more good than bad to be found in this adaptation of the Grimm tale. (via REVIEW: Spellbinding visuals dwarf weak characters in ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’)
For Greater Glory (2012), Review by Justin Craig
“For Greater Glory” takes its cues from a bygone era of Technicolor Golden Age epics and delivers a sprawling political drama steeped in old-fashioned Hollywood romanticism. (via REVIEW: ‘For Greater Glory’ a sweeping, sentimental adventure)
Moonrise Kingdom (2012), Review by Justin Craig
Wes Anderson’s refreshingly original “Moonrise Kingdom” is an unconventional children’s adventure for adults. (via REVIEW: Superb ‘Moonrise Kingdon’ filled with childhood innocence, great performances)
Men in Black III (2012), Review by Justin Craig
Released ten and fifteen years respectively after the original “MIB” predecessors, “Men in Black III” delivers some fun moments, but treads water to stay relevant, especially in a post-“Avengers” arena. (via REVIEW: 10 years later, ‘MIB3’ is too little, too late)
Fox411’s Summer Movie Preview, by Justin Craig
Are you ready for summer? Hollywood sure is and they have a slate of scorching hot blockbusters bursting to prove it. Batman and Spider-man are suiting up for box office domination (but can either beat Marvel’s “The Avengers?”) Stallone and friends are chompin’ down on gunpowder, sweat and red meat. While Woody Allen hearts Rome, a former Prez hunts bloodsuckers and Channing Tatum loses his shirt (again). The Iron Lady goes to couples counseling, Tom Cruise sings and Ridley Scott renews his interplanetary visa. That’s right, folks. Summer 2012 has arrived!

The Raven (2012), Review by Justin Craig
The film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” is a slick hybrid of classic Poe tales with a grisly modern whodunnit. (via REVIEW: ‘The Raven’ an entertaining thriller despite faltering John Cusack)
Safe (2012), Review by Justin Craig
Jason Statham’s latest actionpalooza “Safe” is unsuitably hilarious, although that’s probably not the film’s intended reaction. (via REVIEW: Jason Statham action flick ‘Safe’ is accidentally hilarious)
