As animated films go, The Tale of Despereaux represents adequate family entertainment. The quality is nowhere near the level we have come to expect from Pixar but, since there are no Pixar films in theaters this time of year, The Tale of Despereau...

Almodovar is back, following up his 1999 award-winning sensation All About My Mother with another success, the aptly-titled Talk to Her. Over the years, Almodovar (one of the few filmmakers who is recognized by only his surname) has been known for ...

It’s in vogue to call some horror films “throwbacks,” but, at least in the case of Danny and Michael Philippou’s directorial debut, Talk to Me, it’s an accurate assessment. In recent years, the horror trend has been for “safer” movie...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the 2014 iteration of a franchise that has been a kids' staple for more than 25 years, is a close cousin to Transformers. Both gained mainstream popularity as a result of toys and TV shows, both have die-hard followin...
