REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘LADY BIRD’ 

Out in Theaters: ‘LADY BIRD’ 

Greta Gerwig’s ‘Lady Bird’ guides Saorsie Ronan through a rebellious phase of teenagedom with stinging humor and a good dose of pathos. Sensitive, charming and at times painful, ‘Lady Bird’…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THOR: RAGNAROK’

Out in Theaters: ‘THOR: RAGNAROK’

Pulsing with side-splitting energy, 'Thor: Ragnarok' thrives working outside the boundaries of the tightly wound, hawkishly overlorded Marvel Cinematic Universe. A neon-plated smear of laughs bursting with colorful characters and jaw-dangling…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND’

Out in Theaters: ‘MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND’

A deeply unsettling and suspenseful tone poem about the challenges of finding your way in the Big Apple as an immigrant, Ana Asensio’s ‘Most Beautiful Island’ is a sinister experiment…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘SUBURBICON’

Out in Theaters: ‘SUBURBICON’

An embarrassing Coens-inspired trainwreck, ‘Suburicon’ tries to be a dark, murder-filled satire on the “wholesome” 50’s but the saliency of an undercooked and discordant racial integration subplot derails George Clooney’s…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE SNOWMAN’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE SNOWMAN’

A frigid disaster of a serial killer thriller, ‘The Snowman’ does just about everything wrong. Pulling from a frightfully terrible script and featuring enough tangled squalls of logic to cause…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE FLORIDA PROJECT’ 

Out in Theaters: ‘THE FLORIDA PROJECT’ 

A powerful punch of empathic, humanist, character-driven cinema, 'The Florida Project' boasts a trifecta of sublime performances (Brooklyn Prince, Bria Vinaite, Willem Dafoe) but its subtle storytelling and triumphant edge…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘HAPPY DEATH DAY’

Out in Theaters: ‘HAPPY DEATH DAY’

A disappointing realization of a clever concept, ‘Happy Death Day’ has elements to celebrate - a strong lead in Jessica Rothe, a plethora of pithy put downs, decent character arcs…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE FOREIGNER’ 

Out in Theaters: ‘THE FOREIGNER’ 

‘The Foreigner’ is a welcome return to form for Jackie Chan and funnier than it seems at first glance, offering the aging martial arts master a chance to kick ass and…
