Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
This is a swirling, heavy-battling, CGI-video game movie that some may cheer. But others will leave it with a bewildered … huh?
Suncoast
It’s a coming-of-age story where its young protagonist comes of age way, way too fast. But Suncoast comes with a lot of heart, too.
Drive-Away Dolls
Drive-Away Dolls is as hard-core and pornographic as an R-rating can stand.
Memory
Memory has some content we’d like to ignore. But the subjects dealt with here? They’re worthy of discussion.
Mean Girls
Much like the original, Mean Girls can be quite crass, there’s a lot of foul language, and it hyper-sexualizes teenage girls.
The Zone of Interest
Set around a notorious Nazi concentration camp, The Zone of Interest shows us the evil of indifference without getting bloody.
Miller’s Girl
This visually and verbally sensual story about an affair between a teacher and student was never going to end well for them—or for audiences.
Dune (1984)
No matter how much spice is in play in the 1984 version of Dune, this cinematic stew is almost inedible.
Players
Mack learns that when it comes to relationships, sometimes the right play is no play. We learn the same lesson—as in don’t play this movie.
The Iron Claw
The Iron Claw ends with satisfying catharsis. But getting to that moment in this true wrestling story is a path paved with pain.
