"Rebel in the Rye" falls into the trap that ensnares many a bio-pic: trying to present too broad a chronology in too limited a time.

"Temple" shows a better path for horror films to follow but the screenplay is too threadbare and the characters too poorly developed for it to really work.

It’s competently made and sporadically compelling but not likely to pique the interest of anyone unfamiliar with Morrissey.

A generally well-made but ultimately unsurprising excursion into the supernatural.

Despite being sold and marketed as a thriller, the most interesting aspects of "Shot Caller" are the dramatic ones.

The disappointment of what this movie could have been dogs it as it navigates safe, predictable roads to a preordained conclusion.

An Oscar-wannabe that didn’t make the cut and is being released in mid-August hoping to find a small audience.

An ensemble of solid performances with some affecting moments is ultimately undone by a storyline that treads too-common ground for American indie films.

Although this "Homecoming" serves its purpose, it’s just a forgettable waystation on the MCU map, where all roads lead to "Infinity War".
