Out in Theaters: ‘THE POST’ 

Out in Theaters: ‘THE POST’ 

‘The Post’ tells a well-timed story about the importance of the free press, has a remarkably loaded cast led by Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep and is defined by sharp…

Out in Theaters: ‘THE DISASTER ARTIST’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE DISASTER ARTIST’

One of the funniest and most sincere making-of comedies to come out of Hollywood, 'The Disaster Artist' finds James Franco and brother Dave Franco homaging the world’s worst movie with…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ.’ 

Out in Theaters: ‘ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ.’

Greta Gerwig’s ‘Lady Bird’ guides Saorsie Ronan through a rebellious phase of teenagedom with stinging humor and a good dose of pathos. Sensitive, charming and at times painful, ‘Lady Bird’…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THOR: RAGNAROK’

Out in Theaters: ‘THOR: RAGNAROK’

Pulsing with side-splitting energy, 'Thor: Ragnarok' thrives working outside the boundaries of the tightly wound, hawkishly overlorded Marvel Cinematic Universe. A neon-plated smear of laughs bursting with colorful characters and jaw-dangling…
