The Judge
This judge-accused-of-murder tale is far less about legal entanglements and more about an estranged father and son searching for reconciliation.
St. Vincent
St. Vincent didn’t convince me of Vincent’s sainthood. But it does remind me that people are so much more than a résumé or rap sheet.
Dracula Untold
A new dimension of the ancient monster Dracula is being exposed to the sunlight. Was he really just a misunderstood and oh-so-swoon-worthy action hero?
One Chance
Beyond a few notes about content, there are some movies that you shouldn’t know too much about going in. And the less you know about Paul Potts, the more you might like his musical underdog’s tale.
Gone Girl
This adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel is filled with enough graphic content to earn the strongest warning Plugged In can give.
The Good Lie
Much like the 2006 award-winning documentary God Grew Tired of Us, this drama grabs Americans by the collar.
Annabelle
Threatened babies, ceiling-crawling demons, screeching occultists and bloody suicides do not a watchable movie make. Even in the horror genre.
Men, Women & Children
Men, Women & Children is not a fun movie. It is not a “good” movie. It is, for lots of reasons, quite difficult to sit through.
The Equalizer
Based on an ’80s TV show, this Denzel Washington bloodbath wants to make sure it’s equal to its R rating.
The Song
The poignant words of Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes come to (modern) life through the story of a singer named Jed, the son of David King.
