Plot Story : Acclaimed documentarian Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) takes the reins for this no-holds-barred look at one of the most unusual phenomena of early 21st century media. In 2006, an Iceland-based outfit called The Sunshine Press launched the website WikiLeaks.org. As run by Australian Internet activist Julian Assange, the site's mandate involved regularly publishing top-secret documents and covert information, often regarding governments and their respective military operations. As might be expected, this set off a firestorm between those who admired the organization's bravado and resourcefulness, and those who argued, not unjustly, that the dissemination of data regarding such events as the U.S. war in Afghanistan could put untold numbers of lives at risk. In We Steal Secrets, Gibney relays the story of the WikiLeaks website from the inside, and moves beyond black and white to penetrate a complex network of activity guided by courage and idealism but also allegedly guilty of ethical insensitivity and hypocrisy. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Review For Movie We Steal Secrets: The Story Of Wikileaks

Sometimes it takes a feature-length documentary to stitch together a story we think we already know.
John Hartl-Seattle Times

A real-life cyber-thriller with real-life consequences, Alex Gibney's We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks is a riveting and revelatory documentary ...
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer

Gibney builds a remarkable level of suspense, given how exhaustively WikiLeaks has been covered in the media.
Kristin Tillotson-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Engaging, kinetic, revelatory and unexpected.
John Anderson-Newsday

At once an awkward mingling of two complex life stories and a gripping, necessary look at how information is gathered, shared and, yes, stolen.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic

Who is "We" in the title We Steal Secrets? There's no need for a spoiler alert, but it's neither Gibney nor Assange.
Bill Stamets-Chicago Sun-Times

Alex Gibney's film is an absorbing examination of the world's most infamous information portal.
Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age

Gibney doesn't set out with an agenda either to pillory or to sanctify Assange; he seeks out the various profiles that Assange has shown his followers, fans, enemies and interlocutors over the years. And they are not all in synch
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

Superb, unbiased filmmaking that allows us to make up our own mind about Assange and whether his idealist vision as an innovator has become confused by self-obsessed paranoia
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile

Which is the real Assange? This movie cannot say. It's as if Gibney threw up his hands, put the whole mess in the audience's lap and said, "Here, YOU figure this guy out."
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune

A psychological suspense film with an open ending that's more haunting than the tricky climaxes of most post-Hitchcock thrillers.
Michael Sragow-Orange County Register

With an approach that feels like a thriller, Gibney looks at both sides of the debate over the site's purpose and effectiveness.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

Smart and opinionated, it's a great introduction to this ongoing story.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

Gibney continues his run as the premier nonfiction filmmaker working today.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian

Arguably furthers WikiLeaks' stated purpose, but with a necessary whiff of the investigative filmmaker's instinctive skepticism.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

The film is fascinating and provocative, deftly navigating complex personalities and shifting allegiances.
Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine

Who decides what stays secret? This brilliant documentary explores that question, itself a meta-narrative as the documentarian exposes the secrets of the secret-sharers.
Nell Minow-Beliefnet

Review For Movie Home Run

The strongest scenes take place in dingy hotel rooms, on a deserted farm or in the rehab sessions. It's during these moments that "Home Run" swings for the fences, and often connects.
Sean O'Connell-Washington Post

It's preaching the gospel of a 12-step recovery program with a heavy helping of Jesus for guidance. And the corn can get pretty high ...
Tom Long-Detroit News

Almost from the beginning the message overwhelms the medium.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times

This slightly better-than-average family film is all paint-by-numbers.
Louis Black-Austin Chronicle

An inspirational and entertaining movie about a baseball player's road to recovery from addiction.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com

Athlete learns what's important in alcoholism drama.
S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media

Baseball, little kids and religion could be a queasy formula for the movie blues but, happily, this one slides down pretty easily.
David Noh-Film Journal International

It delivers its message of hope and healing in a manner that is honest, entertaining and authentic, in a film that can reach audiences both religious and secular.
Michael Smith-Tulsa World

Boilerplate rise-fall-redemption stuff that works more when it's trying to do less.
Chris Foran-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Well-cast but thinly scripted faith-based dramedy about baseball, booze and redemption
Roger Moore-Movie Nation

Review For Movie Starbuck

A high-concept comedy that peddles some slapstick laughs and life lessons but little insight.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

This is froth, but it's good froth.
Tom Long-Detroit News

Rather than a jolting shot of joe, this French-Canadian comedy is a soothing cup of warm cocoa.
Soren Anderson-Seattle Times

"Starbuck" is essentially a situation comedy, but what a situation.
John Anderson-Newsday

Never mind high concept, this is high conception.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer

"Starbuck" is one of those high-concept yet formulaic, sitcom-like comedies that gets by on charm and speed.
Steven Boone-Chicago Sun-Times

Like they say in the sperm-donation business, it's all in the genes, and Huard possesses the ideal DNA to breed 'Starbuck' into quite a stud.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger

The other reason "Starbuck" succeeds as a movie is that it goes more for the heart than for the big laughs.
Mathew DeKinder-Suburban Journals of St. Louis

Despite (or because of) Huard's mugging, 'Starbuck' is more likely to cause queasiness than smiles of contentment.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion

It's a far-fetched premise, though one that's brought down to Earth by Scott's emotionally upbeat writing, his brisk direction, and Huard's nimble, large-hearted performance.
Sean O'Connell-CinemaBlend.com

What begins as a cute idea grows annoyingly sentimental before it is through.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle

Trite-sounding comic premise is lifted by a winning performance by Patrick Huard.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

For a story about a man on the cusp of belated adulthood, "Starbuck" has some growing up of its own to do.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian

The screenplay, by director Ken Scott and Michael Petit is a true original.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews

The pace is leisurely, the coincidences just a little too pat, but the momentum Huard brings to this befuddled human being has too much heart to let that matter
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews

While overly contrived and often slight, Starbuck is a feel-good comedy to be rivalled and benefits immensely from a snappy, wry screenplay and charming performance from Huard.
Simon Brookfield-We Got This Covered

Scott's take on the importance of family is an admirable one, to a point, until it moves past that to espouse an uncomfortably regressive morality.
Ian Buckwalter-Washington City Paper

'Starbuck' is no father figure
James Verniere-Boston Herald

Like its likeable loser hero ... the movie aims for a lower rung, grabs the bar, and, without much ambition to guide it, hangs there with no desire to climb any higher.
Mark Dujsik-Mark Reviews Movies

Movie Overview For Starbuck

Starbuck is a 2011 Canadian comedy film directed by Ken Scott and written by Martin Petit and Ken Scott. The main character David Wozniak is a perpetual adolescent who discovers that, as a sperm donor, he has fathered 533 children. David, a deliveryman for a butcher shop, is being pursued by thugs because he owes them money. Next, he is advised that more than 100 of his offspring are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of "Starbuck", the pseudonym he used when donating sperm. In addition, his girlfriend Valérie is pregnant with his child but doesn't feel that he is mature enough to be a father. Starbuck was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 14 and 15, 2011. The film's title refers to a Canadian Holstein bull who produced hundreds of thousands of progeny by artificial insemination in the 1980s and 1990s.

Review For Movie Byzantium

The best thing in the movie is Arterton's sultry, claw-baring turn, but mostly it's a rudderless riff on Let the Right One In.
Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly

It's not perfect, but when it works, Byzantium towers above all of the romantic vampire slobber we've been getting lately.
Rex Reed-New York Observer

Jordan's poetic sensibilities more than make up for any flaws.
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York

Byzantium, like all good vampire stories, is a romance, and Jordan opens himself up to its atmospheric lushness.
Stephanie Zacharek-Village Voice

A lethargic and uninspired take that aims to be something different, but ultimately isn't.
Dennis Harvey-Variety

Neil Jordan interviews a whole new set of vampires but draws precious little blood.
David Rooney-Hollywood Reporter

Contemporary cinema has featured a fair share of young, attractive vampires in recent years, but Neil Jordan's "Byzantium" stands out for exploring that subject with a mixture of intelligence and gravitas.
Eric Kohn-indieWIRE

Byzantium is a smaller and more intimate companion piece to Jordan's own cinematic supernatural lore, one that is well worth a visit for fans of the vampire mythology.
JimmyO-JoBlo's Movie Emporium

Despite an intriguing premise (mother and daughter vampires struggling to survive) the film lacks a consistent tone and misses a real dramatic tension, which is surprising given the subject matter.
Mark Adams-Screen International

The story's nothing new, but the film is still vivid, lurid, sexy and seedy
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Neil Jordan's curiously revisionist addition to the cult of the undead category.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate

Some "vampire stuff" you've seen before, a few new ideas that work, two great performances, and a lot of skilled veterans behind the camera.
Scott Weinberg-FEARnet

There's good work in here but the climax sadly lacks the emotive punch it's looking for.
Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire

It's enough to make Stephenie Meyer's ovaries implode.
Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray

A tangle of genre conventions and wayward plotting starts to blunt the film's thematic point.
Michael Leader-Film4

Another artfully dull take on vampire lore, one that rather self-consciously tries to outclass Twilight and its ilk, yet still completely fails to be in any way seductive.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman

A haunting, touching and visually sublime reinvention of undead mythology.
Alan Jones-Radio Times

Byzantium is a complex film that combines a traditional gothic horror story (though not one that sticks to traditional vampire law), social history and a realistic account of dealing with authentic physical distress.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

A slightly frustrating picture: full of brilliant things, but hampered with at least three split personalities.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times

Review For Movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

It frequently seems as though Jackson was less interested in making The Hobbit than in remaking his own fabulously successful Lord of the Rings series.
Christopher Orr-The Atlantic

My first thought in watching The Hobbit was: Do we really need this movie? It was my last thought, too.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

To its own narrative detriment, "The Hobbit" works hard to lay the framework for what will follow. Certainly that's one way to set out on a trilogy, but it's surely not the best.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

There's no denying the majesty in Peter Jackson's visuals but he's taken a relatively slim children's book and stretched it beyond the limits.
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com

The repeated iterations of fight, flight and respite here get wearing. Especially perhaps because, with Jackson's fetish for detail, they take more time to watch on screen than to read about.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" has finally arrived, not on wings of gossamer fancy but with a hairy-footed thud.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post

There are worse ways to kill time, sure; it's just that there is, alas, so much time to kill.
Will Leitch-Deadspin

"Unexpected Journey" runs nearly three hours. That gives Jackson plenty of time to revive its magic [which he does] by triggering our good will toward the "Rings" trilogy. He evokes the trilogy's tone and its rhythms.
Carla Meyer-Sacramento Bee

As great as Serkis is, he can't begin to make 'The Hobbit' look anything but short.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger

The odd thing about the saying "too much of a good thing" is that it acknowledges the fact that, something, in general, is composed of an overabundance of excellence.
Bill Gibron-Film Racket

The Hobbit may not be as memorable as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it's a mostly faithful adaptation that sticks to the same tones and themes of the source material.
Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered

It's a journey that any fan of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy should enjoy.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight

Peter Jackson's return to Middle Earth feels familiar and unfulfilling.
Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground

If Jackson had focused simply on Bilbo's party and their attempts to get a proper homeland for the dwarves, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' would have been a leaner, more engaging tale.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien may like sitting through a 169 minute film, that easily could have been trimmed by at least 50 minutes. But, I was constantly aware of the long running time.
Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers

As it stands, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a thoroughly engaging, often rip-roaring, old school yarn. It's got scope, excitement, and above all, emotional heft.
Bill Gibron-PopMatters

Whenever this movie suffers from lengthy prequel-itis and a weighty sense of expectations, it falls short. Still, for much of its 165 minutes, this epic has enough small moments and deft touches that it tugs you along with the power of a good story.
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)

An Unexpected Journey offers an unparalleled visual spectacle
Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire

a drag-down, mildly diverting entertainment
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer

When the dwarves turn up mob-handed, kicking off a night of boisterous revelry, the laboured jests and jollity seem to go on forever. And the combination of dwarves, forced humour and familiar faces off the telly turn the occasion into bad panto.
Jason Best-Movie Talk

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey had me with the dulcet melancholy of displaced Dwarves, yearning to be home.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show

Slower out of the gates than a three-legged donkey... but it gets better, and fans won't mind this slowburn beginning because, hey, it's Middle Earth.
Matt Neal-The Standard

It's the behaviour of the supposedly affable dwarves that makes this particular 'adventure' such a punishing experience.
Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture

...a jaw-dropping visual carnival courtesy of Peter Jackson and company!
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes

Very, very (very) slow in the early going, but Peter Jackson does get there (eventually).
Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a story stretched too thin; dragged out by drudging slowness and obvious padding that its handful of thrilling action sequences can't improve.
