A recognition that historical politics can be just as bizarre and absurd as the modern flavor.

Possibly the most faithful adaptation of a video game to-date but faithfulness to the source material doesn’t always result in the best cinematic experience.

Part romantic-comedy and part coming-of-age story, this is an upbeat, uplifting, and teen-friendly crowd-pleaser.

Whatever goodwill the movie builds up during its first 85 minutes is thrown away in the idiotic, anticlimactic final ten.

Saddled with an unevenly paced screenplay and overly reliant on generic CGI, "A Wrinkle in Time" fails to convey the magic of the book.

"Gringo" is messy and at times incoherent, filled with pointless subplots and confounding “twists.”

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller

Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Olivia Cooke, Anton Yelchin, Paul Sparks

This dark twist on the female coming-of-age story is worth seeing as much for its subdued thriller aspects as for its warped sense of humor.

The muddling of historical fiction with the Grand Guignol is an uneven mix that never fully gels.

In many ways a throwback, which would be okay if there wasn’t already an okay version of the same story kicking around from the 1970s .

A deliciously perverse, unflinchingly violent espionage thriller that breaks with the tradition of making the spy business the purview of suave characters.
