FILM REVIEWS

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: PRIDE

Out in Theaters: PRIDE

Heart-warming, fun and eye-opening, Pride is surprisingly earnest and solid from start to finish. It bypasses prejudice and gifts you with understanding. I’m more than proud to recommend Pride. Be…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: AUTÓMATA

Out in Theaters: AUTÓMATA

In a movie that's supposedly, subtly about evolutionary superiority, it commits some Darwin Award worthy movie sins. Brutally convenient encounters between characters - waiting to die until in the arms…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: KILL THE MESSENGER

Out in Theaters: KILL THE MESSENGER

If she were a best friend, you'd send her kicking and screaming to a mental institution for delusions of granduer. If they were your employee, you'd fire them for flagrant…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: DRACULA UNTOLD

Out in Theaters: DRACULA UNTOLD

Don't get me wrong, this is by no means a good movie, nor is there much going on beneath it, but it's a thoroughly entertaining, fittingly dumb entry to a…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY

Out in Theaters: THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY

With more in common with the films of the 1960s than the films of 2014, The Two Faces of January has a tendency to turn the pot to a low…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: GONE GIRL

Out in Theaters: GONE GIRL

Gone Girl deals in accusations and historical gender circumstance. It's a 21st century battle of the sexes; a tennis match played with grenades. Amy and Nick's affair depends entirely upon…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ANNABELLE

Out in Theaters: ANNABELLE

The added disappointment of serializing a film whose horrors were without bound, Annabelle sullies the good name of the Warren's demonology franchise. Peddling in doll stares and wanna-be ominous monotony,…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: TRACKS

Out in Theaters: TRACKS

One thing is for certain: you won't find more camel drool in any other movie to come out this year. And even though the journey doesn't ever conjure up the…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: THE EQUALIZER

Out in Theaters: THE EQUALIZER

But Fuqua never squanders his greatest asset, Denzel, showing that he knows how to milk every last drop out of his magnetic star power. Gone is the toothy, chatty Denzel…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: LILTING

Out in Theaters: LILTING

By the end I felt like I was in 7th grade again, just trying to figure out where a simple měiguó rén might fit in all this confusion. Though Khaou’s…
