Movies starring Chris Pine

With its frequent jumping around in time, All the Old Knives runs the risk of losing the viewer somewhere in the space-time continuum. Movies like this, which demand a non-linear approach for maximum impact, risk diluting the characters, which adm...

I have done my best to avoid spoilers and, although I’d love to get into specifics about what’s wrong with the movie, such an approach would require revealing plot twists. So, although I won’t go that far, some of the “comparison” movies...

In order to be successful, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves needed to achieve at least three objectives: remain sufficiently faithful to its source material not to alienate the core audience, offer a broad enough story to attract non-gamers...
