Haven't seen too many films in the first 5 months and two weeks of this year, but here are noteworthy ones (not all of them blessed with unanimous critic-herd approval): THE LEGO MOVIE, THE UNKNOWN KNOWN, NOAH, THE RAID 2, DEVIL'S KNOT, FADING GIGOLO, NYMPHOMANIAC PART 1, BELLE, NIGHT MOVES, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, I AM DIVINE, PLIMPTON! STARRING GEORGE PLIMPTON AS HIMSELF, GORE VIDAL: THE UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA
Reissue of the year so far: SORCERER (now available on DVD/Blu-ray)
Inexplicably well-reviewed artistic underachievers of the year so far:
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (comedown for Wes Anderson after the superior MOONRISE KINGDOM)
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS (well-acted, but sometimes smug and overly pandering to its intended young adult audience)
Blockbuster underachievers:
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2
DIVERGENCE
MALEFICENT
