The pairing of Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman previously delivered the unjustly ignored (then justly rediscovered) ‘Edge of Tomorrow’, a delightfully clever sci-fi action epic. Now they’ve made ‘America...
On one level, ‘Victoria & Abdul’ is kind of fascinating. The film tries so damn hard to tell a kind and inclusive story to make up for the racism of the British Empire. Yet despite all the jokes about bumbling roy...
The future isn’t looking as bright as it once did for the Lego movie franchise. Had it maintained its potential following the first big-screen adventure, this week’s release might have dominated the box office. Instead...

If nothing else, it’s astounding that Darren Aronofsky was able to get ‘mother!’ produced at a Hollywood studio and spat out into wide release. The film starts off like a queasy paranoid psychological horror thri...
