Movie Review: Women Talking
"Women Talking" features one of the year's best ensembles, under the smart direction of Sarah Polley, and ends up as one of the year's most powerful films.
Movie Review: The Tragedy of Macbeth
Joel Coen has crafted perhaps one of the greatest cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare’s seminal tragedy, "The Tragedy of Macbeth," in the history of cinema.
Movie Review: The French Dispatch

Besides being a welcome addition to the Transformers canon, Bay’s third stab at the franchise also features some of the best 3-D work since Avatar, which is refre...[Read More]
