Reviews of new movies released in theaters

A Separation – Believable, engaging and impressive

This realistic Iranian drama is refreshing in a summer full of dull blockbusters.

The Debt is a masterful spy thriller

‘The Debt’ is how spy movies should be made … smart, incredibly paced, and perfectly acted; it was easily one of the best movies I’ve seen all year.

Colombiana – Somewhat sexy if generic thrill ride

‘Colombiana’ is a decent action flick, which ends up being an excellent showcase for star Zoe Saldana, but is fairly by-the-numbers otherwise.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark – Be afraid of the clichés

A classic TV horror movie of the week gets the remake treatment, but loses everything that made it claustrophobic and frightening up on the big screen.

The Inbetweeners Movie – I miss the TV show.

‘The Inbetweeners Movie’ fails where the original TV show succeeded, but still remains a funny enough teen comedy.

Attack the Block – The gory and fun alien invasion of the London slums

‘Attack the Block’ is a pretty original take on the classic alien invasion formula, filled with scares and laughs alike.

Conan the Barbarian – Almost entirely a mess of nonsense

The ‘Conan the Barbarian’ remake is exactly the wrong sort of reboot – all flash, no substance.
