5th Wave, The

The 5th Wave is an adaptation of Rick Yancey’s 2013 YA sci-fi novel. Although many recent multi-book YA properties have made successful book-to-screen translations (The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner), The 5th Wave is a departure from...

Abduction

Perhaps the only way to approach Abduction that will not result in a 105-minute boredom-induced coma is to think of it as a comedy, preferably with a drinking game attached. There are laughs to be had, although none of them are intentional. Girls (...

Assault on Precinct 13

What is the world coming to when the film community is remaking John Carpenter movies? Admittedly, Assault on Precinct 13 isn't the best example of Carpenter's expert craftsmanship, but it was the picture that got him noticed, and that notice enab...

Cooler, The

The Cooler, as icy a title as you're likely to find, is about the efforts of one man to find his luck (or, to be more precise, some form of luck other than that of the bad variety). Rarely has a more pathetic individual been captured and portrayed ...

Coyote Ugly

Uh-oh, this doesn't look promising. Oh, wait a minute, the movie hasn't even started yet. As absurd as it might sound, there's a strange synergy between very bad movies and very good ones. That's because films on either extreme of the quality ...

Giant Little Ones

There’s something enormously refreshing about the openness and honesty found in Keith Behrman’s coming-of-age film, Giant Little Ones. It recognizes that for many people, discovering a sexual identity isn’t as simple as recognizing an att...

Grown Ups

Sometimes even a high profile movie can surprise you. Take Grown Ups, for example. Based on the advance promotional material, this didn't look like the kind of production likely to end Adam Sandler's streak of unremarkable star vehicles (Funny Pe...

Jane Austen Book Club, The

The Jane Austen Book Club is an example of how a movie can follow the general plot of a book yet fail to capture the spirit. The problem is a simple one to identify: much of the enjoyment derived from Karen Joy Fowler's novel comes from the way in...
