The Monuments Men
What if rescuing a Botticelli means a mother in Bristol or a sweetheart in South Carolina might lose the light of her life? Is art worth saving? And at what price? This George Clooney film draws a few conclusions.
That Awkward Moment

Labor Day
In this touching and tender love story, a convicted killer takes a woman and her 13-year-old boy hostage. Yes, it’s one of the stranger love- and family-affirmation stories we’re going to be talking about this year.

Devil’s Due
A wedding! A honeymoon! And baby makes three! But not for long. Not if that baby’s real daddy—the devil—has anything to say about things.
Ride Along
Wanna ride along with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube in a crass cop comedy? Maybe read this first.
The Legend of Hercules
Call him the Muscles from Mycenae. This stout, classical demigod has a kingdom to win, a woman to woo … and some biblical allegories to explore?
