Movie Reviews: 'Beautiful Creatures,' 'Identity Thief,' 'Safe Haven,' 'A ...

Movie information aggregated from MovieFone.com

Beautiful Creatures

"Maybe there really are supernatural forces at work in this world. How else to explain Beautiful Creatures? The movie is an intriguing, intelligent enigma ? three words not typically associated with teen romances." Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times. Full Review

"Beautiful Creatures springs to life whenever Irons, Thompson or Rossum is centerstage. The grown-ups get to wear all the coolest costumes and spout all the juiciest lines. Problem is, this isn't their story. It's first and foremost a semi-plodding teen romance with supernatural overtones." Chicago Sun-Times. Full Review

A Good Day to Die Hard

"Loud and tedious, ?Die Hard 5? is a shaky-cam/Sensuround blast of bullets and bombs, digital explosions and death defying feats of defying death." Roger Moore, Movie Nation.

"Willis still packs that rapscallion charm, balancing his wisecracking, reluctant-hero shtick with the unstoppable, all-American quality that earned the original film its title. But the chemistry between him and Courtney is nonexistent, with the younger thesp, who makes co-star Cole Hauser look expressive, adding so little to the equation, one can only hope the studio doesn't plan to pass the franchise on to him." Peter Debruge, Variety.

Safe Haven

"A sentimental romantic thriller. But it?s a well-made sentimental romantic thriller, and that makes all the difference." Connie Ogle, Miami Herald.

"It?s hard to argue with the title here ? Safe Haven, indeed. This is all about safety in the Hollywood workplace. Why make a movie when making a Hallmark-card-with-dialogue is so much less risky?" Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail.

Identity Thief

"Melissa McCarthy is riveting in simply-penned moments of remorse and confession, adding tearful depth to her ace timing and formidable physical comedy." R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine

"Identity Thief is a road movie with its creative lanes clogged, and a Mack truck comedian barreling through, anyway." Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times

Side Effects

"Ultimately, think of the movie as a puzzle box in which all the pieces fit together wonderfully well. Once you step back and take a look at how it?s all put together, you have to marvel at how cleverly constructed the whole thing is." Arizona Republic. Full Review

"The scenes pile up with frenetic intensity; as with Soderbergh's other recent exercises in the suspense genre, no single cutaway goes wasted." Eric Kohn, indieWIRE ? Full Review

Warm Bodies

"A well-paced, nicely directed, post-apocalyptic love story with a terrific sense of humor and the, um, guts to be unabashedly romantic and unapologetically optimistic." Chicago Sun-Times. Full Review

"Playing with genre is fine, but if you're going to create new rules, you have to play by them too, but unfortunately Warm Bodies continually subverts its own internal logic and basic, believable character motivation to keep pushing the movie along." Kevin Jagernauth, The Playlist. Full Review

Silver Linings Playbook

"Silver Linings is consistently entertaining, with its scrappy, well-drawn characters, offbeat humor and indefatigable positive outlook." Claudia Puig of USA Today. Full Review

"Ultimately, this is an engaging, uplifting, and life-affirming motion picture that reminds viewers that it is possible to do interesting things with a romantic comedy while still sticking to some of the conventions." James Berardinelli of ReelViews. Full Review
