    Suburbicon
    The idea of taking a mid-1980s screenplay by the Coens’ and marrying it to a very different story, penned by Clooney and Heslov, does not work. We might have had two quite good, independent features, if those scripts had been produced into two different movies. Instead, we are presented with quite the sad mishmash of ideas here.

    Flatliners
    While the talented cast...do as well as can be expected with the (excuse the weak pun) pretty flat script, this remake likely will be all but forgotten shortly after it hits multiplexes this weekend.

    The Huntsman: Winter's War
    The mishmash of filmmaking makes it clear this was a movie made by committee — and clearly that committee was composed of folks who were not all on the same page when it came to spinning what could have been a much more engaging piece of fantasy storytelling.

    The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    The special effects are among the more positive aspects of “Allegiant,” but those alone cannot rescue this highly flawed sequel.

    Mood Indigo
    The film ends up feeling more like a very long music video.

    Carrie
    This Carrie comes off like a Lifetime film, adding little new and nothing substantial to improve on DePalma’s classic.

    Paranoia
    The actors do their best. The problem here is simply a formulaic screenplay and less-than-inspired direction.
