Horror Rated PG-13
“…generates enough low-key creepiness to make Shyamalan once more worthy of discussion.”
Drama Rated R
“Only slightly less religiously tortured than First Reformed…”
Comedy Rated PG-13
“McConaughey bravely rips off his shirt, throws himself in front of the women and selflessly absorbs the camera’s leers.
This excruciating would-be comedy, about a French knight (Jean Reno) from the 12th century who’s transported to modern-day Chicago, is so stale it actually featured a joke about the once-ubiquitous dance song “Macarena” long after the song had been thankfully forgotten. Just Visiting overstays its welcome about three minutes in.
“If it’s possible to overact while barely blinking, Ryan Gosling achieves it.”
Drama Rated PG-13
“…honest enough not to deliver that climactic, ‘breakthrough’ moment.
“If Swinton and Hiddleston have a shared gift, it’s the ability to inhabit theatricality naturally.”
Family Rated PG
This animated feature scorns both McMansions and suburban sprawl, and mostly will be enjoyed by McMansion-residing suburban sprawlers. That irony is not lost on the filmmakers. As it details the adventures of a pack of woodland creatures (the likes of Garry Shandling, Steve Carell and Wanda Sykes provide pitch-perfect vocals for the rich character animation)
Romantic Comedy Rated PG-13
“…so bland, lifeless and unimaginative I wanted to poke the screen to make sure it was really there.
Junior James Bond Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) sets out to rescue his sister (Alexa Vega), who has been trapped inside a virtual-reality video game in the third installment in the endlessly inventive family action series from Robert Rodriguez. This one’s in 3-D, but it didn’t need to be: The awkward glasses and washed out colors
