Aaron Sorkin fails to inject 'The Social Reckoning' with anything resembling craftsmanship in this preachy, if righteously angry, followup to the brilliant David Fincher film. It tries to…
Iñárritu's dark climate satire admittedly takes big swings, offering a new thespian mode for superstar Tom Cruise, but with a dearth of insightful parables and actual laugh lines,…

Although Milly Alcock remains inspired casting as Kara Zor-El, 'Supergirl' leans too heavily on worn-down sci-fi and superhero tropes to fully capitalize…
'Toy Story 5' is a funny, heartbreaking, and insightful meditation on childhood in the digital age, asking what gets lost when screens…
Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' only occasionally recaptures the sense of awe that made him one of science fiction's defining filmmakers, but those…
Daniel Roher's 'Tuner' is the rare crowd-pleasing crime thriller that works just as well as a thoughtful character study. Propelled by Leo…
