Sometimes an actor/character becomes so inextricably entwined with a franchise that moving in "a different direction" without them can be a difficult process. It's like that with Bruce Campbell's Ash and The Evil Dead. This is the seventh Evil Dea...

As bold and dazzling a spectacle as Evita is, it's missing a soul. This brash, glitzy, energetic entertainment has the power to hold an audience enraptured, but, at the same time, there's a sense that what we're experiencing is just candy for ...

Eye of the Dolphin is a family drama that will appeal to anyone who likes movies with the hard edges blunted and the narrative bumps smoothed. There's real heart to be found in the story but it comes along with borderline saccharine sentimentality,...
