'Avengers: Infinity War' film review (SPOILERS)
A spoiler-filled review of the film every Marvel Film has been leading toward. Here be spoilers.
(NO SPOILERS) 'Avengers: Infinity War' film review: How to pay off a sprawling, massive franchise
A decade of films have laid the groundwork and built up the expectations.
'The Endless' film review: Refreshing sci-fi thriller satisfies patient viewers
The indie science-fiction horror flick is a journey deeper and deeper into a seemingly tranquil commune’s warped nightmare.
'You Were Never Really Here' film review: Bold, subversive thriller upends action genre
If you took an action flick and accentuated all the quiet, humane moments between bloody fight sequences, the result would be this innovative mystery-thriller.
'Gemini' film review: Moody Hollywood thriller is style over substance
The moody crime thriller has all the hallmarks of a story that probably would have been better suited as a short film.
'A Quiet Place' film review: Sound is the enemy in this emotionally draining thriller
Go into the film cold -- know as little as possible about the premise going into the theater. Just know this is one of the great cinematic experiences of the year.
'Itzhak' film review: Meet the husband, the artist behind the violin
This intimate portrait of world renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman offers a warm look at the enthusiastic artist.
'All I Wish' film review: Sharon Stone deserves better than this tepid rom-com
The Sharon Stone dramatic-comedy is a string of clunky chapters bundled together by an uninspired gimmick.
'Ready Player One' film review: Love letter to nostalgia is a pop culture-infused ride
Fans of all things '80s rejoice! Spielberg's adaptation is a kinetic and nostalgia-drenched valentine to Easter eggs and pop culture.
'Flower' film review: Dark twists, sharp wit can't save this wilted clunker
Categorizing this indie flick "Flower" is difficult - mostly because this film simply cannot decide what it is or where its story is going.
'Unsane' film review: Soderbergh's experimental shot-on-an-iPhone psycho horror
Steven Soderbergh's unorthodox psychological horror is a deeply engaging thriller -- until the mystery is deflated way too early.
'Tater Tot & Patton' film review: An unassuming, atmospheric indie winner
A pair of stand-out lead performances and a nuanced screenplay highlight this melancholic and deliberately-paced indie drama.
'A Wrinkle in Time' film review: A rushed, messy CGI-heavy fantasy misfire
Given the erratic and jarring nature of this adaptation, the source material must be nigh unfilmable. Cramming all the world-building, heady metaphysical themes and astrophysics simply results in a movie that, at best, feels rushed and at worst, is ham-handed and clunky.
'Annihilation' film review: Esoteric, unconventional flick underwhelms
There are films that achieve the fragile dream-like experience - then there are films that force approximations of the surreal. This sci-fi thriller is the latter.
'Molly's Game' film review: Sorkin was born to write for badass Chastain
The combination of an outright badass lead performance and a sharply-honed Aaron Sorkin screenplay makes this biographical drama one of most entertaining films of the season.
'Call Me by Your Name' film review: Fraudulent 'love' story mistakes lust for romance
Beautiful performances and eloquent backdrop are wasted on a love story ... that forgets to establish two characters in love.
'Downsizing' film review: The stupidest 'smart' film of the year
Ideas alone do not equate to great stories. This hollow, high-concept slog is propped up by a meager peppering of intriguing conceits and supported by virtually nothing resembling storytelling.
'Loving Vincent' film review: A bold, eye-popping tribute to the Dutch master
Bold and visually stunning, this animated masterpiece is a breathtaking and audacious impressionistic tribute to the famed Dutch artist.
