Though filled with some extraordinary moments, director Gary Ross’ determination to cram as many history lessons as humanly possible into his grand Civil War epic often makes it dramatically inert and...

A true epic blockbuster with stunning effects and plenty of monkey mayhem, ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ is...

Perhaps you might want to play some last-minute Oscar catch-up instead of seeing any of this week’s mild releases. My guess is that the allegedly “Based on a True Story” ‘Snitch‘ accurately depicts the truth behind its source material just about as much...

FX’s Cold War thriller ‘The Americans’ premiered last week with a pretty great pilot episode and a lot of potential. The year is 1981. Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings (Matthew Rhys from ‘Brothers & Sisters’ and Keri Russell from ‘Felicity’) are a perfectly...

I still can’t understand what people see in ‘Napoleon Dynamite‘ or ‘Nacho Libre’. ‘Austenland’, however, is the Hesses most commercial film. It’s also their best, although that’s not saying much. I wasn’t planning to see this movie before the Sundance festival. I don’t find the Hess...
