REVIEW
Out in Theaters: PARKLAND

Out in Theaters: PARKLAND

Often told with the wandering panache of a drunkard on Funny or Die's Drunk History, Parkland has neither foresight into what makes a film interesting nor any captivating power over…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: GRAVITY

Out in Theaters: GRAVITY

Gravity is pure entertainment done right and it's achieved with transcendent technical mastery. Seamlessly blending nail-biting moments of suspense with quiet character moments in the vacuum of space, Cuarón has…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ENOUGH SAID

Out in Theaters: ENOUGH SAID

By putting these reasonably challenging questions on display, Enough Said feels like it has a sense of purpose. It's abundantly evident that no one here is in it for the…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: BAGGAGE CLAIM

Out in Theaters: BAGGAGE CLAIM

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: PRISONERS

Out in Theaters: PRISONERS

While often uncompromisingly bleak, Prisoners ends up as more of a pulpy, often riveting, character study than what we may originally have suspected. The film is just caked in grit,…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: POPULAIRE

Out in Theaters: POPULAIRE

Depth was never the goal here and Roinsard scores major points for sticking to his flowery guns. Like similarly woozy Jean-Pierre Jeunet films, it's just a wonder something so fleet-footed,…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2

Out in Theaters: INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2

As a solitary feature, without what comes before it and will come next, Insidious 2 is wildly incomplete, capped off with more holes than a back country freeway sign in…
