Ben-Hur

Judith Raymer | Aug 18, 2016

Then, there are the action scenes. Intense. At times, gruesomely violent almost to the point of caricature, but Timur Bekmambetov pulls back just in time.

War Dogs

Allison Rose | Aug 17, 2016

Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success.

Sausage Party

Pete's Dragon

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

Pete's Dragon itself is dark, depressing and not suitable for its intended audience –families with young children.

Hell or High Water

Allison Rose | Aug 11, 2016

I’m not sure Jeff Bridges makes a bad film anymore, but if he does, he is usually the bright spot. True to form, he plays his character well.

Florence Foster Jenkins

Ghostbusters

Allison Rose | Jul 14, 2016

McCarthy isn’t funny and her voice is annoyingly nasal. Wiig is slightly better but mostly uninspired. Jones adds a few moments of hilarity and a streetwise toughness that works most of the time, but the real star is McKinnon.
