The Revisionaries showcases how public education has become the latest battleground in a new wave of cultural, religious and ideological clashes, with local Texas education board members advancing agendas of Creationism and other religious issues in public schools. This documentary highlights how their tactics have had the effect of rewriting key tenets of U.S. democracy and are affecting educational policies at the national level - for generations to come. -- (C) Kino Lorber Unrated If You Like this movie you can streaming The Revisionaries movie without downloading HERE

Really a well-made dispatch from a long war. Daniel M. Gold-New York Times
Thurman presents a largely even-handed recounting, wisely letting folks - and events - speak for themselves. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
Of all the scary movies you may see this month, none will be more chilling than Scott Thurman's documentary about the Texas State Board of Education. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
An alarming, hilarious documentary ... Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
Such a feature-length bludgeoning, even in the service of basic social and scientific literacy, is truly discomfiting. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
Offers a balanced view of the fight over science and U.S. history standards for Texas schools, but lacks the punch it might have achieved with a stronger point of view. Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News
Due to redistricting, every position on the Texas State Board of Education is up for election on the November 2012 ballot. See The Revisionaries and become better informed about the subject, and then remember to cast your vote. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
Scott Thurman captures not only the fear and anti-intellectual resentment and insecurity that govern the dictations of the far right, but also the rampant unchecked egotism. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine
At once an unsettling documentary and an enlightening one. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion
This frontline skirmish in the culture wars [over school textbooks] is the subject of Scott Thurman's engrossing documentary ... It's a symbolic fight of our times, making [the film] a compelling and involving work. Cary Darling-Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
This doc's look at the avid Texas State Board of Education (led by a smalltown dentist), invested in rewriting school textbooks in order to push ultra-right wing agendas, is a disturbing must-see. Kimberly Gadette-Doddle

The disappointment and malaise of a modern farmer's life comes through, but almost as an afterthought. As Bahrani makes clear, it's worth a more focused film. Tom Long-Detroit News
Bahrani fills the frame with weathered faces and "At Any Price" feels like it unfolds in something close to the real America. But he wants to give us larger-than-life drama, and his strengths are life-sized. Ty Burr-Boston Globe
Bahrani seems less interested in getting at the heart of a man who has sold his soul than he is in showing how the hard facts of modern farming have literally and figuratively changed the landscape. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Written and played with a little more subtlety, Henry and his contradictions could have been fascinating; as it is, "At Any Price" keeps us at a distance, gazing at characters who never quite come to life. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Like the small farmers forced to kowtow to corporations, writer and director Ramin Bahrani chickens out. His melodramatic script reduces a global conflict to a Grain Belt "Glengarry Glen Ross." Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It clumsily showcases an environmental issue -- in this case, the corporate strong-arm tactics used to promote GMOs -- through routine interpersonal drama. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
At Any Price has an interesting story at its core, but it's bogged down by undeveloped characters and sideplots, as well as a poorly-written third act. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered
...feels like a great American tragedy, like East of Eden or Death of a Salesman. There's ... a fidelity to the way things actually work themselves out in the real world, in compromise and half-measures and moral doubt. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Bahrani is striving for something epic and tragic - Shakespeare among the soybeans - but too often the film settles for merely melodramatic. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Though Bahrani may be moving toward the mainstream here, he remains an empathetic, nuanced chronicler of the American working class. Eugene Novikov-Film Blather
At Any Price isn't so much about race cars or corn as it is about what price we're willing to pay to protect what we love, and to keep our hopes and dreams alive. As such it's a fitting parable for our times. Kim Voynar-Movie City News
As is implicit in the title, the destructiveness of competition is a rippling concern in Bahrani and co-writer Hallie Elizabeth Newton's unpredictably expansive script. Guy Lodge-HitFix
At its heart, the film is a small-scale story about two men learning how to fix their mistakes -- or, if that isn't possible, to live with them. Eric D. Snider-Twitch
A thought-provoking and original drama that takes an intriguing look at the competitive nature of the agricultural industry. John Hanlon-Big Hollywood
Dennis Quaid gives a deep performance of a shallow farmer who's obsessed with success. But the script for this unfocused, distraction-saddled heartland drama needed more cultivation. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
Dennis Quaid turns in a strong performance, but writer-director Ramin Bahrani's earnest but unfocused melodrama offers neither a compelling storyline nor a satisfying message. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
With Bahrani's assured direction squaring off against his ragged script, this proves to be a mixed bag of a movie, maybe worth seeing for reduced admission but not necessarily at any price. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Bahrani's evocation of place and culture is utterly convincing, even if his story seems to have gone before the cameras before it was quite ripe. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
It cheats you with acres of unharvested ambitions. Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
while [Bahrani] did create a sociologic examination of an industry and culture that effects everyone, and educates the audiences, he didn't know how to end the story. Matt Kelemen-AspectRatio.us
... sporadically compelling drama, a lack-of-character study trashy enough for fun and thoughtful enough to be taken seriously. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times
Maybe the writer-director found himself adrift in the corn fields. Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer
We don't need to love the characters to care for them but not hating them will help us build a bridge to apathy PDQ. Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter
A haunting portrait of the relationship between fathers and sons as being built on a foundation of intersecting interests. Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Simon Killer is a sensory, experiential film - more of a state of mind than a straightforward story. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
Self-consciousness passing for style. Tom Keogh-Seattle Times
"Simon Killer" is a beautifully made look at ugliness and brutality, the kind of oxymoronic exercise that fascinates some and repels others. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
Another terrific performance from Brady Corbet, but it's in the service of a parade of horrors that never leads anywhere interesting. Alonso Duralde-The Wrap
It is brutally raw and difficult watching. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times
The overall sense of chilly disengagement becomes trying, and there's a last-minute switch that suggests that Campos is trying to have his croissant and eat it. Tom Huddleston-Time Out
There's a highly engaging dramatic thriller hidden somewhere in this lugubrious, tamped-down Parisian nightmare. Eric D. Snider-About.com
Not for everyone, in fact generally disrecommended for anyone except those who admired Martha Marcy May Marlene. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
... a sexy, edgy character study that slowly draws you into its web even as it unnerves you ... a hybrid of 'The Talented Mr. Ripley" and, for its steamy lovemaking, the X-rated 'Last Tango in Paris.' Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope
Simon Killer is as juvenile as the behaviour of its central character, but thankfully its weaker moments are reasonably scarce and for the most part the film is an interesting, if a little surface level, character study that is difficult to shake off. Craig Skinner-HeyUGuys
Unpleasant, but not negligible. Philip French-Observer [UK]
Simon Killer leaves you uneasy long before you wonder if Simon will get caught or find a conscience for his crimes, both real and imagined. Billy Tatum-Paste Magazine
Although Brady Corbet is a compelling actor and succeeds at times in capturing an almost boyish charm, he's playing a nasty, unappealing and unredemptive character. Sarah Cronin-Electric Sheep
For a horror film, this is unusually subtle and disturbing, rather than all-out scary, quietly profiling a creepy central character in ways that are designed to provoke the audience. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
The performances of Brady Corbet as the taciturn American and Mati Diop as the sympathetic prostitute lend the film watchability ... Derek Malcolm-This is London
Brutal, nasty, unflinching. If you like that kind of thing. David Jenkins-Little White Lies
An artfully shot, po-faced thriller about an American graduate student going to pieces on an extended break in Paris. Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK]
Impressively directed and sharply written, this is a disturbing study in sociopathy with a compelling lead performance from Brady Corbet. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
A refreshing departure from the current glut of slasher movies that make the mistake of thinking more gore can ever replace the feeling of icy dread that you've been played by a madman. Tim Evans-Sky Movies
Builds a quiet, creeping sense of menace, with a courageously unsympathetic performance from Corbet at its icy heart. Philip Kemp-Total Film
Rise of the Guardians is an epic adventure that tells the story of a group of heroes - each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world. -- (C) Official Site PG If You Like this movie you can streaming Rise of the Guardians movie without downloading HERE

Less-than-compelling storyline. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
Rise of the Guardians is harmless enough, and the lack of easy pop-culture jokes represents the post-Shrek direction of DreamWorks well enough. But this is the studio's least entertaining film. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune
The conceit has its charms but too much of this movie, directed by Peter Ramsey, is more clamorous than inspired, and little kids might find parts of it too scarily intense. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
'Rise of the Guardians' is an effervescent dose of fantasia that's pretty hard to dislike. Unless, of course, you're a cynical grump. Derek Adams-Time Out
The script seems to have been written by committee, with members lobbying for each major character, and the action, set in vast environments all over the map, spreads itself so thin that a surfeit of motion vitiates emotion. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
Too cluttered and manic to bring real pleasure. Stephanie Zacharek-NPR
Energetic animation and a handful of amusing character touches help, but they can't compensate for the paper-thin story and muddled messages. Eric D. Snider-Twitch
A beautiful fantasy adventure that might change a few minds about the power and importance of these childhood fantasy characters. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight
DreamWorks' newest picture is definitely one for the kids, but director Peter Ramsey makes it fun enough to put a smile on parents' faces. Nour Habib-Tulsa World
An entertaining experience, whether you see it in 3-D or 2-D, 'Rise of the Guardians' is an enjoyable adventure for all ages. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
The animation's usually a visual delight. There's enough visual spark and inventiveness to make this animated adventure rise above the Christmas crowd of flicks. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Alas, a sweet heart and a tender message aren't enough to save Rise of the Guardians from its overly sugary ways. Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt
Rise of the Guardians delivers a giddy, kinetic excitement as its heroes whoosh and swoop through the air, or glide and skitter on ice. Jason Best-Movie Talk
In one of the best, brightest, most beautifully realised and visually sumptuous tentpole animation films of the year...an absolute joy to behold, as lovingly made a piece of corporate entertainment as you're likely to find at the multiplex. Jim Schembri-3AW
One of the best surprises of 2012. Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
Delivers an entertaining twist on the fabricated mascots that kids will enjoy. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz
From the wind rustling through Jack Frost's white hair to the panoramic vistas as they fly through the sky, it all looks amazing. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
Whatever its agenda might (or might not) be, Rise of the Guardians is a surprisingly rousing tale with a story that resonates easily, if not deeply. Tim Martain-The Mercury
Rise of the Guardians is both reasonably quirky and mildly serious. It wants children to believe there's more to animation than fast food tie-ins. Craig Mathieson-The Sunday Age
This lovely fantasy has been brought to beautiful 3D life by Peter Ramsey, the visual effects are really something. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia)
The villain begins by kidnapping Tooth's worker fairies: it's never clear how she's so human-sized and they're all fairy-sized and have no voices, or how they're the workers and she's management. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
More exhausting than exciting, but there are enough amusing gags to prevent on-the-fence viewers -- and critics -- from going full Scrooge on the final product. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Youngsters will enjoy the diversion with the film's cute characters and creative visuals although there is a frenetic feel about the action that tends to overwhelm the story on an emotional level. As a result, there is little heart that resonates Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
While the concept is novel - and the animation often dazzling - the story and characterisations soon prove trite, condescending and dull. Tom Clift-Moviedex
An unusual 3D tale about a playful free spirit who is thrilled to become a Guardian who watches over children. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
