The Magnificent Seven
This violent remake presents its seven stars as flawed heroes—bad men with good hearts who sacrifice themselves to deal with even worse men.
Blair Witch
This sequel still feels like we’ve been-there-and-flinched-at-that before.
Snowden
Is the sympathy Oliver Stone strives to stir up for his subject something we should embrace or something we should be suspicious of?
Bridget Jones’s Baby
Bridget Jones’s Baby wasn’t a horrible movie. It’s funny in places. But even though I laughed, it made me sad, too. Sad that the definition of integrity is now whatever we want it to mean.
When the Bough Breaks
When the Bough Breaks paints a nasty, bloody, worst-case-scenario picture of what can (theoretically) happen when using a surrogate to have a baby goes really, really wrong.
The Disappointments Room
This movie’s title is fitting: It’s a disappointment all the way ’round.
Sully
Eastwood’s Sully is a deeply humanistic movie in the best possible way.
Morgan
Morgan is a provocative, speculative, gruesome sci-fi thriller by first-time director Luke Scott, the son of the film’s famous producer, Ridley Scott. And the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
Don’t Breathe
Everybody is wrong and wronged here, tortured and torturer. Some more than others.
Mechanic: Resurrection
Mechanic: Resurrection is the Donkey Kong of the cinematic world. There’s not much of a plot, and what there is doesn’t make a lot of sense. But there is a girl to save, a bad guy to beat.
