‘Victor Frankenstein’ is a movie that tries to reinvent the old Mary Shelley tale, but the filmmakers don’t seem certain of how or why they want to do that. The flick announces that we know this story, then never...
Of this holiday’s three big movie releases, there’s at least one to be thankful for.
‘Trumbo’ attempts to dive into the complicated life of an important figure in Hollywood history, while also serving up easy-to-swallow drama for the award-bait crowd and qualifying as a comedy too. That’s quite a...
