Weekend Roundtable: Anger Management
Anger is a very primal emotion that makes great fodder for movie plots. Our Roundtable this week looks at some of our favorite movie scenes in which characters lose their tempers and rage out.
Cold Case Hammarskjöld Review: The Truth Is Pretty Far Out There
Denmark produces some of the most astonishing, compelling and intelligent cinema in the world. This relatively small country has a knack for generating filmmakers of boldness and originality. Mads Brügger’s Cold Case Hammarskjöld ...
Aquarela Review: Wet, Wild, Wondrous
After bowing at Venice in September of last year, Victor Kossakovsky’s documentary Aquarela finally washes ashore. This arty, poetic look at water in its many forms may enthrall some and bore others, but it’ll provide some pristin...
Where’d You Go, Bernadette Review: Get Lost
As per its title, Where’d You Go, Bernadette is better at asking questions than delivering answers. It’s a strange film, with A-list performers and a sensitive director producing a work that feels maudlin and messy, little more th...
Good Boys Review: Super-Young Superbad
Sixth grade can be a weird time for kids. Good Boys makes light of that awkward phase with a lot of humor, but to mixed results. While it’s all about young kids, this is most definitely not a movie for kids.

Legion Series Finale Recap: “I Think We Saved the WorldR
FX’s Legion wrapped up its third and final season this week, and series creator Noah Hawley was allowed to end the story on his own terms. As you’d expect, it gets pretty weird. I’ll do my best to make some sense of it.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 Review: Less Angry, Still Bird-Brained
Though I’m not sure how many people still play the now decade-old puzzle game Angry Birds, the creators have somehow managed to make a serviceable animated comedy for kids out of the source material. You read that right: The Angry...
Fear the Walking Dead 5.09 Recap: “This Was By Far the Ugli
The mid-season hiatus for Fear the Walking Dead was so short this year that I barely even noticed the show was gone. It’s back this week to kick off a new storyline, and to frustrate viewers with an annoying stylistic tic.
The Kitchen Review: If You Can’t Stand the Mediocrity…
It gives no pleasure to convey how middling The Kitchen is. The film just lays there limp and lifeless, trying desperately to inject some interest for the audience. Its dullness is almost impressive, as if it would be harder to ma...
