Maleficent
“Seems to serve one purpose: to give Angelina Jolie a role well-suited to her stature.”
X-Men: Days of Future Past
“An adventure that ranks among the series’ strongest. Jackman’s performance is badass.”
The Hornet’s Nest
“A must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the military. It really hits home.”
Neighbors
“Frontloads the laughs while setting the story in motion, only to sputter near the end.”
Oculus
“The climax is a labyrinth of flashbacks and editing tricks that doesn’t earn its shocking ending.”
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
“A delicious mixture of superheroics and ‘70s-style political thrills.”
Muppets Most Wanted
“While the laughs are there and the songs are solid…it feels much less satisfying.”
RoboCop
“Sets its sights on the ethical dilemma of drone warfare…with a muddier, more somber tone.”
Ride Along
“Comedies like this are condemned to become constant Saturday afternoon staples on TBS.”
Her
“Jonze creates an accepting and believable world wherein a lonely man can fall in love with A.I.”
Frozen
“A polished and exhilarating film…resurrects the Disney animated musical.”
Thor: The Dark World
“Director Alan Taylor does a fine job expanding Thor’s home world, but now the character is more obtuse.”
