Affliction

Writer/director Paul Schrader has always been fascinated by the line between sanity and madness, and what it takes to push a man over the edge. This theme stands out in two of Schrader's best known scripts, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, both of whi...

Angel Has Fallen

It’s not surprising that Angel Has Fallen exists. The first film in the series, Olympus Has Fallen, performed well enough ($100M domestic; $170M worldwide) to justify a sequel. London Has Fallen opened three years later to a less enthusiasti...

Arthur

It's amazing how a lifeless, pointless remake can provoke pangs of nostalgia about a mediocre movie. Such is the case with Arthur. The kindest thoughts I have ever experienced about the 1981 original occurred while I was watching Russell Brand and...

Blue Chips

Crime 101

Bart Layton’s Crime 101, his first narrative feature in eight years, falls squarely into the category of movies that should be better than they are. With an ensemble cast of this caliber—featuring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Ba...

Die My Love

With its themes of mental illness and alienation, Die My Love seems a natural fit for director Lynne Ramsay, whose searing 2011 film We Need to Talk About Kevin focused on the psychological trauma endured by the mother of a mass murderer. This...

Gangster Squad

There seems to be little doubt that Ruben Fleischer, the director behind the well-received Zombieland and the less well-received 30 Minutes or Less, is a Brian De Palma fan. How else to explain the kinship that exists between Fleischer's latest, Ga...

Hotel Rwanda

If you're like me, you probably paid little attention to the attempted genocide that occurred during the civil war in Rwanda in the mid-1990s (more than one million people died). I remember reading about it in the papers and occasionally seeing cli...

Hulk

I'll Do Anything

This certainly isn't the first motion picture to focus on father/daughter bonding, nor will it be the last. But I'll Do Anything has the distinction of being enjoyable and entertaining, while bringing a new twist or two to an old subject. No...
