In terms of content, if not style, Coal Miner’s Daughter would fit with the spate of musician-related biopics that have dotted the recent landscape. And, although central figure Loretta Lynn (Sissy Specek) never had the same kind of Billboard To...

Colossal might look like a monster movie. Indeed, it may feature a Godzilla-like giant lizard leveling a major city in the Far East but, in many ways, that’s just window dressing. Allegorical in the extreme, Colossal is really a drama about...

Con Air, producer Jerry Bruckheimer's generic follow-up to 1996's blockbuster, The Rock, is the kind of motion picture that critics refer to when they moan about the "dumbing down" of American cinema. This movie is a perfect example of what's wron...
