Oblivion

Mark Glass, Patch blogger: "**½ — As post-Apocalyptic sci-fi adventures go, this one’s a solid bet, and a near-miss to something special. The complicated plot serves up a number of surprises for Cruise, leading to plenty of stunning action sequences, as the fight for survival of our species rages on many fronts." Full movie review of Oblivion.

Mark GlassPatch blogger: "* - If you enjoy those perfume commercials with shadowy, ephemeral people whispering vague words and phrases in assorted surreal settings, read someone else’s review. Your response to this arty offering from respected writer/director Terrence Malick may vary widely from mine. " Full movie review of To The Wonder.

Home Run

From the LA Times: "The message about beating alcoholism overwhelms the film starring Scott Elrod as a baseball player sent back to his hometown to attend Celebrate Recovery, a religious 12-step program started by a pastor at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church." Full movie review of Home Run on the Los Angeles Times website.

The Lords of Salem

From the LA Times: "Even from his earliest days as a musician, Rob Zombie displayed a deep-rooted interest in aesthetics and visual style, in creating an entire world stewed in a distinctive brew of horror movies, true crime, the occult and general weirdness. His latest film as writer and director, "The Lords of Salem," might be his most undiluted vision yet, a movie intended as a contraption for unsettling audiences, a mood piece meant to evoke a particularly dark turn of mind." Full movie review of The Lords of Salem on the Los Angeles Times website.
