Out in Theaters: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY

Out in Theaters: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY

Bolstered with two fine performances from its healthily talented leads, this truncated art film - while entirely a mouthful to say - will pique your morbid curiosity and satisfy any…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: TUSK

Out in Theaters: TUSK

As effective as any high dosage caffeine pill, Tusk is a wildly original, tonally inconsistent, totally appalling smorgasbord of nightmare fuel that won't soon stop haunting me. Smith and Kurtzman's…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: THE GUEST

Out in Theaters: THE GUEST

When all is said and done, The Guest is 30-caliber entertainment, mainlining laughs, thrills, and excitement like a junkie on a bender. A step forward for the already majorly competent…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: HONEYMOON

Out in Theaters: HONEYMOON

Perhaps that's her intent after all, to show us something beautiful only to take it away, leaving tatters and fragments of what it meant to be able to connect with…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: LOVE IS STRANGE

Out in Theaters: LOVE IS STRANGE

Beneath Sachs' caring direction is a wealth of production touches to love, from the handsome set design to the cutting piano sonatas. Susan Jacob's classical musical selection is soft and…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: THE NOVEMBER MAN

Out in Theaters: THE NOVEMBER MAN

The question remains: will this be a success with audiences? All evidence points to a resounding meh but quite honestly, the meh-ness of The November Man might just prove the…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR

Out in Theaters: SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR

For my barrage of complaints, it wouldn't be fair to say that I hated Sin City: A Dame to Kill For because I quite honestly didn't. I enjoy the ultra-violent,…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: IF I STAY

Out in Theaters: IF I STAY

If I Stay is the useless kind of movie for people who have nothing else to be bummed about. It invites you to wonder if people do sit around and…
