Bottle movie about traveling business partners and their unusually gluttonous clients.
Hollywood's ongoing war against great children's books scores a late victory in Miguel Arteta's version of Judith Viorst's slim '70s classic. The technique for expanding a picture book to feature length film (granted, it's only 81 minutes) isn't great: after having the day in question, Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) wishes that …
Documentary about women who devote themselves to providing for the train-hopping immigrants who pass through their town on their way north.
Every superhero movie faces a choice: the man or the mask? Sure, there’s interplay, but ultimately, one feeds the other, storywise. Judging by the either goofy or nonsensical nature of the (admittedly balletic) fight scenes in he Amazing Spider-Man 2, you might be tempted to say that this sequel to …
In the early '60s, a racially integrated group of Northern college students decided to head south on buses, traveling from town to town, violating segregation laws, and peacefully accepting the sometimes horrific consequences.
What health care looks like on the ground. Documentary follows five nurses — young, old, male, female — in five places: prison, labor and delivery, home health care, nursing home, and the military.
Director Clint Eastwood continues his quiet critique of the moviegoer's deep delight in cinematic violence. In this case, that means great swaths of gripping, based-on-a-true-story wartime action centered around Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper in full strong-silent-Texan mode), a good ol' boy who becomes a great old sniper for the Navy …
A widowed, racist, and all around mucho ungracious landlord (Michael Douglas) begrudgingly falls in love with an equally companionless tenant (Diane Keaton) best known for continually sabotaging her budding career as a chanteuse by working her dead husband’s aneurism into the between-song patter. It begins to curdle early on when …
A cast that can neither sing nor dance, a director who three times breaks the 180-degree rule (and that’s just in the opening credits!), and musical numbers butted together to make way for untold minutes of vanilla babble position this wretched remake of the almost-as-appalling John Huston paycheck somewhere between …
Director and co-writer Anthony Powell is one of the few hardy souls who lives in Antarctica year-round. And because he has a tinkerer's knack for camera setups and a love of time-lapse photography, he is uniquely qualified to share the experience with you — though from a certain distance. The …
Ordinarily, you might be right in thinking that a documentary about a clever forger who gets his own gallery retrospective would make for the worst sort of art-world inside baseball. (His brilliant masterstroke for avoiding prosecution: he donates all of his work instead of selling it.) But superforger Mark Landis …
The high concept: why not set a horror film in the world's largest mass grave — the catacombs beneath Paris, a world of cramped tunnels, unforseen pitfalls, and millions and millions of human skeletons, many of them neatly disassembled and stacked? The motivation isn't terrible, as these things go: academic …
A young couple, Félicie and Charles, meet while on holiday and fall deeply in love. In a fatal slip, she gives him the wrong address, and, as a result, he disappears from her life. Five years later, at Christmas time, Félicie is a hairdresser in the Paris suburbs with a …
