9/11 is a lifeless, pointless exercise in mawkish exploitation.

A bevy of children star in IT, but they’d be ill-advised to watch it.

Good Time is filled with sex, violence, drug use and language, making the movie’s title an obscenely ironic statement.

Now, I don’t have anything against a clever caper movie, and this one’s pretty clever. But we must remember the myth such films are built upon.

Even though it acknowledges the need for God to confront spiritual evil, its problems are still legion.

Kidnap isn’t as bad as it could be, but that doesn’t make it good. This movie’s speed limit is higher than its IQ.

A Ghost Story is not built to frighten. But it may indeed haunt you.

Dunkirk dramatizes the complexity of war—both its horrors and heroism—while admirably not straying beyond the boundaries of a PG-13 rating.

This is indeed a war movie. But in truth, the war it depicts is not fought with spears and guns alone. It’s also about a war of the heart.

I walked into Maudie pretty sure of what it would be: sweet, quirky, problematic in places and inspiring in others. It was all that. But I wasn’t expecting to walk away with a new hero.

Oh, Spidey. Tony Stark was right: Your enthusiasm is admirable, but sometimes you could be a little more … prudent.

This movie, like its characters, can seduce to no good end.

Forget nitrous: This film is fueled by iPod. But like Baby himself, the movie runs into plenty of obstacles.

Whatever shortfalls this movie may have, apathy is not among them.

Tupac was a rare talent, no question. But this movie based on his life is barely watchable and rarely edifying.
