We need about as much nuance to review this sick flick as comedian Seth Rogen used restraint in making it. If I see a movie that’s worse than Sausage Party this year, it will be a sorry year indeed.

Florence Foster Jenkins reminds us all that, sometimes, passion trumps perfection. That what we love doesn’t always make sense.

Just because the movie isn’t quite as good as the book, that doesn’t make it a bad movie.

While it’s not quite as grim as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it’s even more problematic, and it’s certainly not the tonic that Warner Bros. hoped it would be.

Jason Bourne, the assassin, may be a mysterious figure. But Jason Bourne, the movie, is a known quantity.

It’s unhealthy to shoot for perfection, and it can damage both parents and kids. But it’s really, really unhealthy to shoot for bad—something that Bad Moms just doesn’t get.

Lots of kids are scared of the dark. Martin has reason to be. Shadows are dangerous in Martin’s world: The blackness under the bed. The webbed gloom of the closet. Something lurks in the lightless corners, watching, awaiting her chance. Just fanciful i …

If there is a point in this mostly pointless movie, it seems Woody Allen is asking: Why choose? Why worry? Why can’t we do what the heart wants to do? Why does it have to be so difficult?

Because God is missing here, Captain Fantastic falls short of its idealistic aspirations.

This CGI smorgasbord tells what Warner Bros. hopes is a bankable story, but it’s not a great one.

In Independence Day: Resurgence, love—of country, of home, of others—conquers all, even if aliens destroy much of humanity before we get that happy ending.

Beneath rivulets of blood and lugubrious storytelling are beautiful messages about freedom, equality, self-reliance and the faith that undergirds it all.

For Christians who already know God is out there, do they need to face these cinematic demons?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows tries to replicate the goofy charm of the original 1987-96 animated TV series—but in a messier manner.

Last Days in the Desert forces us to consider the humanity of Jesus in ways that can be challenging and, at times, unnerving.
