Focus
It is, quite frankly, an interesting experience. It isn’t, however, always a good one
The DUFF
That’s what people call Bianca, anyway, and she doesn’t like it one bit. But un-DUFFing herself is no easy task, says her handsome jock tutor. (So would it be easier to just fix this movie?)
Hot Tub Time Machine 2
The first Hot Tub Time Machine movie was gunk-in-the-drain-pipe putrid. This sequel doesn’t even try to ooze past the clog.
Fifty Shades of Grey
We confuse words like honor and obey with subjugation and degradation. We have a monster within us, all of us. We make a mess of things. And what a mess this movie is.
Kingsman: The Secret Service
In this 21st-century homage to 20th-century James Bond flicks, “license to kill” morphs into “dressed to kill.”

Seventh Son
The first book of Joseph Delaney’s The Wardstone Chronicles makes its decidedly unmagical way to the world of movies.
The Loft
It wants to be a top-shelf, twisting whodunit. But for a whole barrel full of reasons it never makes it beyond a nasty and messy mid-level “who cares?”
Project Almanac
I’m a bit happy that Project Almanac has such a clunky name. That alone might make some moviegoers spend their time elsewhere.
Black or White
Kevin Costner squares off against Octavia Spencer in a dramedy about race, identity, love, family, addiction and redemption.
