Talk about scary -- the entire last half of the flick is a spectral presence that can hardly be said to exist.

negative

Buoyed by its good looking cast and entertaining script, John Tucker Must Die is witty and funny, as it reminds us that it is cool to be yourself - whoever you are.

positive

Amy Berg's documentary is evenly paced and informative, never succumbing to hysteria.

positive

Hunt, grievously miscast as the worldly Mrs. Erlynne...ends up looking like a once-fresh teenager, beaten down by the years, playacting in Mommy's oversized threads on a rainy day.

negative

You may miss a few moments of "An Open Secret," either while looking away during its unsettling stories or closing your eyes in frustration. This potent documentary elicits those kinds of reactions.

positive

Beach Rats suffers from a surprising problem, though. In short, we've seen most of this before.

negative

Cronenberg never strays from the big picture of a world not only comprised of destructive impulses, but designed to breed more of them.

positive

Cars 2 is such a mess, it makes the original look like it ought to rank among Pixar's masterpieces by comparison.

negative

... if I waver in my enthusiasm, less than easily charmed by a movie trying so cheerfully to entertain, it's because Kissing Jessica Stein is all too content to be a comedy of surfaces and stereotypes.

positive

This sturdy account, with lots of striking details, sees no need to be preachy and judgmental about the damage done by British bombing raids. It lets the veterans give their thoughts on the matter, and these — unsurprisingly — are humane and reasonable.

positive

Felicity Jones and Armie Hammer remain eminently watchable...

positive

Why did Scorsese spend three decades thirsting to make this movie? It's nowhere clear on the screen.

negative

Writer Patrick Tobin and director Daniel Barnz have a made a movie that, despite the clichd template, manages to hold your interest. The main reason for that are the fine performances, mainly by Aniston who pilots this thing.

positive

This tearjerker (based on the mega-best-selling book by R.J. Palacio ) is a blazingly humane and shamelessly wish-fulfilling film - the rare kind that will appeal to both kids and adults.

positive

The demon Bughuul is not to be confused with 'gabagool,' which is merely a demonic deli meat.

negative

It takes a little while to get going, but once it does The Festival is a funny take on a British summer institution.

positive

Condon deserves credit for shaking up the usual biopic formula, modeling his narrative structure after Kinsey's famous sex interviews with the scientist himself (Liam Neeson) answering questions about his own sexual history.

positive

Nothing in Vantage Point quickens the pulse as much as the realization that, with each successive turn of the wheel, we come one step closer to the end.

negative

Folks who care won't learn anything and folks who don't, can't.

negative

Wren's shallow cynicism and willingness to exploit others ultimately exposes her own vulnerability. Deeply unlikable, she remains sympathetic, both perpetrator and victim of the meat grinder that is the city.

positive

mocks idiots, hypocrites, and all the other clueless denizens of life who make it difficult for everyone else, but the bile is balanced with affection for the ordinary people who make the world turn

positive

An inside joke gets turned inside out in this digital documentary about comedy and creepy feelings.

positive

Enjoyable in the moment.

positive

Speaks to the little kid in every Ghostbusters fan who wanted to strap on their own proton-pack and hunt down pesky spirits.

positive

With Away We Go, Mendes has fallen through the rabbit hole and discovered connubial bliss.

negative

The story, partly inspired by the bobsled comedy Cool Runnings, goes nowhere imaginative or risky, and the characters don't transcend their initial cartoonishness.

negative

An inscrutable experiment too fixated with its own self-reflexivity to ever be about anything in particular.

negative

Not even foxy sociopath Angelina Jolie can save this nut-house drama.

negative

A finally unsatisfying experiment, but the understated performances help overcome the sense that the last people on Earth are movie stars.

negative

Ted ends up undermining both halves of its whole, as well as its creator's clear intent to add something a little deeper to his crassness.

negative

Anderson focuses entirely on cat-and-mouse capers, while failing to reflect in any serious way upon the real-world issues that his plot exploits, so the end result is a disappointingly empty exercise in genre.

negative

Ruben Östlund holds a mirror, and depicts Gothenburg as it is, even if this is an image that not so many people want to see. Play is based on a true story, but the social, societal and moral issues discussed in it are universal and go beyond borders.

positive

The clues here are less interesting than before, and their explanations slow the film down like molasses.

negative

Paul Newman-Robert Redford Western is as great as you remember.

positive

"Echo Boomers" is a thrilling and gritty ride into the psyche of Millennials who feel cheated by the system.

positive

The Exorcist still packs a wallop of terror for those with the strength of stomach for it.

positive

Some of the early imagery... seems to suggest that anything is possible in this "crazy" universe, but the wrap-up is just so aggravatingly bland.

negative

For all of its references to the deceptions of appearance, there's actually nothing underneath the surface of this film.

negative

While "The Last Lions" lacks the visceral excitement of some other survival dramas, it has anthropomorphic heart to spare.

positive

The kind of lousy cinema that breathes and captures the imagination more than a conventionally good movie can.

positive

Winter's Bone is raw, real, understated, fiercely intense and surprisingly gentle and decent amid bursts of ferocity in the rural crime culture where the story's set.

positive

It remains to be seen whether Jigsaw can hook in new generations of horror fans or bring back the crowds which supported the highly profitable earlier films, but this genuinely is a fitting jumping-on point for the Saw saga.

positive

[Sukowa] and von Trotta accomplish something unusual in a movie: They make thinking dramatic.

positive

What's so aggravating here is the grievous lack of wit, imagination and plain old story.

negative

Lazy but funny.

positive

The sharp wit and commitment to damaged men remain, but with his newfound appreciation of what goes unsaid, The Descendants sees Payne finally becoming the filmmaker many have claimed he was all along.

positive

An absorbing tale of crime and non-punishment set after the bursting of Japan's bubble economy.

positive

Why do we keep watching this sad, sad man? Because he's ecstatic as long as he avoids facing reality, and Douglas makes that ecstasy a marvelous thing to behold.

positive

Do you want to feel good about the world? Like even though Trump is in power, all hope is not lost? Watch this movie and let the girl power magic wash over you.

positive

Kevin Macdonald excels at plotting out the many specific complications surrounding Houston.

positive

In an impeccable alchemy, [director Hirokazu] Koreeda mixes [the film's] ingredients: the legal, the ethical, the emotional, the blood ties. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

The film is content as it is to run clever one-liners and 19th-century pop-cultural references into the same comedic whirlpool.

negative

The movie is clearly diluted for mass consumption.

negative

Feels less like going through the motions than returning to your favorite restaurant.

positive

What seemed an inventive and engaging stretch of Murphy's comedic resources 11 years ago has congealed into predictable, processed fare. The prefabricated naughtiness of Norbit is guaranteed to drag the laughs out of you whether you like it or not.

negative

Filmmaker Alex Gibney had access to those who knew the guy, the famous, the infamous and the obscure, and he paints a picture of a serious journalist who saw himself documenting 'the death of the American Dream.'

positive

... A movie that lands like a big, warm hug.

positive

It's a tremendous, awards-worthy performance from Carey Mulligan.

positive

One character talks about molecules moving around in ecstasy, and I think this film has that kind of mystery.

positive

The filmmakers of Enhanced should have titled this movie Flimsy X-Men Ripoff if they wanted more truth in advertising. It's a formulaic and mindless flick about mutants being hunted by humans.

negative

Made in the crappy Murray years between CADDYSHACK and RUSHMORE. A few laughs, but mostly forgettable.

negative

Slickly entertaining docs like "Operation Varsity Blues," meanwhile, ensure so gladiatorial a modern thumbs-down won't happen in the Netflix arena.

positive

As entertaining as it is wholesome.

positive

While it lacks outright Cronenbergian pleasures, "Maps to the Stars" repeatedly connects as a dark comedy and insidious display of rancid human behavior.

positive

In spite of its artlessness, you'll leave smiling and smooching your significant other.

positive

Fred e Ginger em seu melhor momento.

positive

What this rough-around-the-edges but hugely likeable film lacks in budget it more than makes up for in energy, visual flair and, yes, punk spirit.

positive

There's something uniquely irritating about the kind of too-serious-for-its-own-good alternative-lifestyle drama subheading that Chris Mason Johnson's The New Twenty neatly falls under.

negative

Gore is a little grayer and a little thicker around the midsection, but he's still tirelessly speaking truth to power on behalf of our ailing planet in his folksy Tennessee twang.

positive

Kaurismäki's delightfully delicate cautionary fable charts his unassuming hero's descent into an unforeseen nightmare of deceit and violence with a characteristically low-key blend of humane compassion and deadpan mordant humour.

positive

Peckinpah's gentlest, boldest, and perhaps most likable film to date.

positive

The first couple of acts of the Kendricks' latest, "War Room," are so heavy on broad pulpit pounding that it's challenging to get swept along by the story's message.

negative

Wrapped within this search for a pig is the bizarre underbelly of the culinary elite, insight on loss and the natural human craving for connection, and a complex bouquet of stark contrasts. The result is a totally unexpected, but utterly fascinating film.

positive

Messy and unlikeable.

negative

It's gripping stuff: decidedly non-showy but all the more authentic for it.

positive

Glory is a tight, intelligent drama that builds its intensity in a real smart and organic fashion.

positive

The film was mildly enjoyable, but could have been much better if Rudolph tried to put a coherent story together instead of just going for so much cheap comedy.

negative

No one shoots a film like Kubrick, and this picture's visual style -- the incredible cinematography, lighting and production detail -- is simply mesmerizing and glorious to watch.

positive

Jack Webb is a filmmaker who is more skillful than gifted, more sincere than brilliant, more likeable than prestigious. Which is to say that his film is nice to see.

positive

Your body may not be ready for what happens to bodies here…

positive

An improbably effective and affecting mix of raw emotions and exciting smackdowns.

positive

It is a marvel of storytelling and character, telling a relatively familiar and potentially melodramatic tale in a way that feels different, new and profound.

positive

I didn't understand Primer; worse yet, I didn't care.

negative

The film was five years in the making by director Katrina Costello and, as with the case taken by McCormack and the Burren Action Group members, it is a testament to patience, determination and love of a place.

positive

Her story is indeed operatic with numerous personal and professional scandals and director Tom Volf has given it a proper frame in one of the year's most intriguing biographical docs.

positive

A patchwork work of two creative pieces, and composed of two different personalities. [Full review in Spanish]

negative

A unique, well observed, raunchy musical that reiterates that no means no.

positive

A cut above the recent lot of slasher films...it does not feel as if it has to cater to audiences who want every plot point spoon fed to them.

positive

In its deceptively modest way, this edgily sweet comedy gets closer to the bone of mother-son relationships than many a more solemn opus.

positive

Definitely, 'Look Who's Back' it is an interesting and necessary film that features an excellent work of Oliver Masucci as Hitler, but it also becomes a little scattered as it progresses by its excessive length. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

Unfortunately, neither Sendak nor the directors are particularly engaging or articulate.

negative

You may never know whether Murphy has completely turned into a machine, but you know the movie has, and boredom sets in.

negative

Greyish and ugly, the city is an image of the capitalist grief that feeds the desperate desire to escape. [Full Review in Spanish]

positive

Take every gangland cliche and put them together into one big jumble and that's what you'll find with "Overrun."

negative

Even less funny than Southland Tales and not nearly as adventurous.

negative

The 93-minute ride is exactly the fun summer blockbuster one might expect by sticking a movie star with a big cat and letting the fur hit the fan.

positive

Not that this guy ever knew she was gone, but Tanya Tucker has returned, and the results are marvelous.

positive

One of the best action thrillers of the '90s.

positive

It's not quite as fresh or fun as the first film, but P.S. I Still Love You still has plenty to love about it - not least another loveable performance from Lana Condor.

positive

surrealist cinema begins right here
