Legend
America cinema has long raised its glass to the gangster. Maybe it’s time for a different vintage.
The Night Before
The Night Before could have been called The Nightmare Before had Tim Burton not already made off with the name.
The 33
The fact that all 33 miners made it out of the mine is something of a miracle. And this movie doesn’t try to deny that God was a part of it.
Love the Coopers
It’s not Bad Santa, thankfully. Not even close.
Spectre
Spectre’s conspicuous turn to the past also gives us a new opportunity to notice how Bond has changed over the years.

It’s a cinematic construct that relishes taking long, easy moments to just study actress Saoirse Ronan’s serene face, watching her pale blue eyes say far more than a wordy, noisy script ever could.

A great message, but one that’s ultimately, um, OK, burnt by the crass content baked into this R-rated recipe.
Our Brand is Crisis
By the time the credits roll, Our Brand Is Crisis feels a lot like a badly run political campaign itself: crass, grimy and not sure of its own message.
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
Just when you’re tempted to think you’ve seen it all, some random filmmaker takes that as a dare.
