SIDELINE: MORE REVIEWS FOR 6/12

My reviews of non-Criterion movies from the last month:

IN THEATRES...


All artwork by Natalie Nourigat. Be sure to read her comic strip reviews of Brave and Prometheus.  

Brave, the latest Pixar hits the bullseye. Their first with a girl hero does not disappoint, even if the 3D does.

Lola Versus herself, as played by Greta Gerwig.

Magic Mike is coming from you. Watch out for his wand! Steven Soderbergh's latest is ridiculous fun.

Moonrise Kingdoma charming rumination on the divide between childhood and growing up from Wes Anderson. Wonderful.

Prometheus: Now if only Ridley Scott could make a prequel to my disappointment.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, a surprisingly emotional comedy about the apocalypse. Starring Steve Carrel, Keira Knightley, and a ton of funny cameos.



ON DVD/BD...

The Innkeepers, a middling ghost story from Ti West.

King of Devil's Island, a bummer of a drama set in a reform school in early-20th-Century Norway.
