STREAMING · THE ROKU CHANNELOut in Theaters: THE GIVER
As Bridges gives a quietly devastating performance as the eponymous character, The Giver tip-toes to the finish as an occasionally whopping crowd-pleaser. Noyce's is…
STREAMING · PARAMOUNT+Out in Theaters: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
As TMNT rips to a rather forecasted conclusion, it's quite clear that Liebesman's goal has been accomplished. His film is a puckering cherry bomb.…

STREAMING · HULUOut in Theaters: DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
It's that impossibly rare blockbuster that shimmers with intelligence and has the FX razzle-dazzle to leave you dazed and amused, grinning from ear-to-ear and…
STREAMING · PEACOCKOut 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…
STREAMING · PARAMOUNT+Out in Theaters: TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION
