Dead Don't Die, The

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, a re-make of the 1973 made-for-TV movie of the same name, is a haunted house movie whose success lies in the careful manner freshman director Troy Nixey steeps everything in a surfeit of atmosphere. It overflows. It suf...

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room is truly a tale for our time. Today, Corporate America may pay lip-service to the term "ethics," but the men and women at the top don't understand or care about the definition. There's only one word that means...

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

Family Stone, The

It's a tough thing for a dysfunctional-family-at-Christmas movie to avoid doses of melodrama, and it's fair to say that The Family Stone contains its share. But the nice thing about the movie is that it avoids overt manipulation. There's some - i...

Final Season, The

No one could accuse David M. Evans of a lack of ambition. In The Final Season, he takes a standard sports cliché - the underdog team facing a big game - and grafts onto it countless mediocre subplots. There are so many, in fact, that it would tak...

Fly Me to the Moon

Throughout the course of its bloated (132 minutes, sheesh) length, Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon never figures out what it wants to be. Is it a rom-com? A screwball comedy? A parody of conspiracy theorists and their crackpot hypotheses? A v...

Forty-Year-Old Version, The

As one might deduce from its cheeky title, The Forty-Year-Old Version, Radha Blank’s feature debut, isn’t afraid to challenge sacred cows along the way to making its point and, more importantly, telling a story. The film works on two level...
