Out in Theaters: ‘HE NEVER DIED’

Out in Theaters: ‘IN THE HEART OF THE SEA’

"Ron Howard's 'In the Heart of the Sea' chases the white whale that is meaningful special effects films and comes up short. His telling of the story that inspired 'Moby…

Out in Theaters: ‘THE GOOD DINOSAUR’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE GOOD DINOSAUR’

Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' is a far cry from the superb wunderkind that was 'Inside Out' and though its journey is more derivative than most of Pixar's kind, it's still…
