It’s impressive that Bombshell is able to discuss all the issues at hand all at once.

Excellent directing coupled with a smart script and solid acting make Choose Connor a movie worth your time.

This doc rocks as much as the old rock rocks. Do yourself a favor and make some time for it.

Spoilers prevent me from saying anything about it, but the finale is a satisfying good vs. evil ending while reinforcing the true nature and values that Blanc holds as an investigator. Even then, when it’s all said and done, this is a light comedy. The story, mystery, and conclusion are fun, but it’s not Agatha Christie, nor should it be.

ZigZag rests heavily on Jones III's sensational turn as the lead character. Capable of drawing empathy without pity from an audience, his ZigZag is the unlikely constant in a world swirling with change and intrigue.

Ultimately a story about the American mindset post-9/11, Right at Your Door is also a much more personal tale, as it forces all of us to consider what we would do if the chips were down.

I loved Downhill for precisely what it meant to be—a character-driven comedy working its way through a painful and real conflict.

American Doctor is a horrifying film to watch, but that’s the point.

Gripping and mercifully short, it doesn’t quite achieve the status of cinematic gold. Perhaps it’s for the best, or Hayes may have fallen prey to his ambitions.

Director Sam Dunn weaves wonderful mythology that leaves you happy for the band’s longevity and ready for more from the sharp-dressed men.

Good story and strong acting are a killer combination in this independent film.

Allen covers it all with intelligent dialogue and unexpected moments of clever visual storytelling.

Tarzan is a blast for both kids and grownups like myself and gets my recommendation.

Julie Christie gives a fabulous performance of mysterious, unclear depth as Fiona.

The Friend’s House is Here provides an instructive window into the challenges of life in Tehran, as well as an opportunity for Westerners to share these moments and empathize with the people there.

Corbjin avoids delving into Gahan’s dark history (enough docs have done that). Instead, he has created an affecting, at times exhilarating tribute to the band, and to exorcising one’s demons through art… be it by making it or discovering it.

The Book of Delights is the meeting of mindful deconstruction and visual intrigue about falling and being in love.

If you liked Children of Men, chances are you will enjoy this film. It has the same blend of despondency and lyricism, hope and despair, beauty and violence.

Instead of establishing and repeating the same flavor, we are presented with a sci-fi-tasting menu of increasing complexity.

If you’re looking for an on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller, this is it, but you also might find yourself very agitated if you’ve been in a similar situation.

The festival's audience is as integral a part of the proceedings as the music, and we get a rich portrait of the wide variety of pranksters, iconoclasts, and freaks that descend upon the West Country of England in the hundreds of thousands every year. Glastonbury offers an exhaustive look at what remains the largest event of its kind.

A Quiet Place: Part II offers another round of impressively staged set pieces, a few cheap (but damn effective) “gotcha” jumpscares, and a heavier dose of those spindly, flower-headed aliens.

The Trouble With Jessica is like a tray of fresh out of the oven pot brownies: demented, dark and delicious. Get yourself a mouthful of this movie.

Generous with its humor and spares no sacred cows, especially when it comes to the American political system.

As entertaining and surprising as the film is, however, nothing can prepare one for its rousing final fight scenes.

While this film is certainly not the most uplifting, Amongst the Wolves does provide satisfaction with the way things are wrapped up, which makes it worthwhile to experience more than once.

In terms of narrative, writing, and performance, the flick is hardly lousy to watch and will leave an impression, though it may not be everlasting.

Directors Calvin Thomas and Yonah Lewis deserve credit for taking a gutsy leap with the subject matter and delivering without pulling any punches.
