REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘ANOTHER EVIL’

Out in Theaters: ‘ANOTHER EVIL’

  Steve Zissis and Mark Proksch achieve strong comedic effect as bumbling daywalkers haphazardly conjoined to expel evil forces from a family summer home, giving us an infrequently uproarious, mostly…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘BELOW HER MOUTH’

Out in Theaters: ‘BELOW HER MOUTH’

‘Below Her Mouth’ is an epically poor lesbian romance complete with shamefully terrible acting, an embarrassing script and way more than one gratuitous sex scene. Yes, there's a lot of…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘GHOST IN THE SHELL’

Out in Theaters: ‘GHOST IN THE SHELL’

‘Ghost in the Shell’ is all shell, no soul. This vapid, mopey, effects-driven, entirely predictable action-thriller haunts audiences with dazzling special effects, hoping to cover up a substance-bereft narrative that leaves…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘RAW’

Out in Theaters: ‘RAW’

Make no mistake, 'Raw' will prove difficult to swallow for most, what with its unblinking depiction of human-on-human consumption, but those with a stomach of steel will be treated to…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘LIFE’

Out in Theaters: ‘LIFE’

Recipe for Daniel Espinosa’s ‘Life’: Steal Alien. Glaze with modern CGI. Lift all signs of horror and tension. Add big marque names. Give them nothing to do. Dose with a heavy-hand…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘T2 TRAINSPOTTING’

Out in Theaters: ‘T2 TRAINSPOTTING’

Like a shot of cinema to the main vein, 'T2 Trainspotting' is a lively and thoughtful companion piece to Boyle’s darkly comedic addiction saga. Choose strong performances, choose a rocking playlist,…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘KONG: SKULL ISLAND’

Out in Theaters: ‘KONG: SKULL ISLAND’

'Kong' is king-sized entertainment, a riveting spectacle showcase that races from dizzying set piece to set piece, fastened by standout technical work across the board. A wowing blockbuster enlivened by…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’

Out in Theaters: ‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’

A virtual clone of the 1991 animated feature, with a few added scenes and songs that strengthen rather than detract, 'Beauty and the Beast' is a resplendent display of stylish…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS’

That ‘The Girl With All the Gifts’ feels like a spiritual sequel to Danny Boyle’s ’28 Days Later’ should be praise enough. Though it lacks in overalls scares, there are…
