Out in Theaters: A MOST WANTED MAN
NOTE: I've tried to write something about this movie but I just can't do it. It's too dull to summon the energy to write more than one lousy sentence about.…

Out in Theaters: LUCY
Lucy is a masterpiece of mockery and wit, made Hollywood by gorgeous, over-the-top CGI and Johansson's and Freeman’s hilarious self-depricating work. With a first act that’s egregiously terrible, Lucy is…

Out in Theaters: MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT
Dissecting Woody's latest is easier than scalpelling apart a frog. The three acts are built on loose seams, as easily identifiable as cheap Indonesian jeans. And though they might fit…

Out in Theaters: BEGIN AGAIN
With music and New York serving as backdrops, Begin Again is touching, funny and lively enough to merit a taste. Imaginative and different, it challenges what you would normally expect…
