DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
“It’s a glum, morose grind towards the inevitable, devoted to a gloomy apocalyptic worldview unleavened by anything resembling wit or humanity.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality
“I don’t hate DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, but I did leave the theater being disappointed by what I had just finished watching.” – Jaskee Hickman, The Movie Picture Show
“It’s a pleasure, therefore, to report that DAWN has a much more focused script, that its special effects are as impressive as any seen in this summer’s blockbusters, and for those looking for a bit of substance, the film actually has a dark message about humanity and war.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
VENUS IN FUR
“Polanski takes an impish delight in needling and ultimately eviscerating his stand-in’s hypocrisies.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality
