In-depth film reviews of current theatrical releases, rated A through F, from someone who definitely thinks he knows more about movies than you.

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’

Out in Theaters: ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’

'Captain America: Civil War' is the Marveliest Marvel movie yet. And in this context, that's a good thing. With a battalion of supers at their disposal, Anthony and Joe Russo…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘HIGH-RISE’

Out in Theaters: ‘HIGH-RISE’

Ben Wheatley has stumbled upon something strangely salient with dystopian protest piece 'High-Rise' but the creeping chronology fails to drive the action forward, creating something that’s both busy and unfocused…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘KEANU’

Out in Theaters: ‘KEANU’

Catnip for Key & Peele fans, ‘Keanu’ is a daffy laugh-a-minute concept comedy meets YouTube video; definitive proof that the sketch comics’ careers are far from over – and may…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘SING STREET’

Out in Theaters: ‘SING STREET’

Big-hearted, shamelessly cheerful and joyous beyond measure, 'Sing Street' is an upbeat victory for director John Carney. Brimming with laughs and a surprising amount of tears, 'Sing Street' is rarely…

Out in Theaters: ‘A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING’

Out in Theaters: ‘A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING’

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘GREEN ROOM’

Out in Theaters: ‘GREEN ROOM’

Jeremy Saulnier's grotesquely violent 'Green Room' pits a hapless punk band against a group of militant Neo Nazis in almost pornographically gruesome fashion. That there isn't too much to the…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE BOSS’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE BOSS’

"While The Boss isn’t the total balut-flavored brownie promised by the Universal Studios production, no amount of Crisco is enough to slick the Melissa McCarthy-starring, tonally disparate cram into one…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘DEMOLITION’

Out in Theaters: ‘DEMOLITION’

Led by soaring performances from Gyllenhaal and Watts and an emotionally exploratory script from Bryan Sipe, 'Demolition' is an oddball destructo-drama that measures the invoice of grief against the constructs…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!’

Out in Theaters: ‘EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!’

In the pantheon of Richard Linklater’s accomplished filmography, Everybody Wants Some is a relative softball, but even his minor work is essential viewing. A laid-back daydream of primetime golden years…
