Film Reviews
Chernobyl Diaries
When adventuresome tourists visit the town that housed most of the workers at the Chernobyl nuclear plant, they discover they are not alone.
For Greater Glory
This epic starring Andy Garcia about Mexico’s anticlerical Cristero War of the late 1920s is a plodding and poorly plotted tale.
God Bless America
Bobcat Goldthwait wrote and directed this seething comedy, which he describes as a "violent movie about kindness."
Headhunters
This Norwegian crime thriller is anchored by a schemer who brings on his own ruin.
High School
You come in hoping to toke on a big ol' fattie, but instead you find yourself wallowing in seeds and stems – again.
Piranha 3DD
Barely a step above a second-tier Troma film, this is one catch you'd do well to throw back.
Rowdy Rathore
In this Hindi film, a conman turns out to have a heroic streak.
Snow White and the Huntsman
Ambitious, brutish, and ruthlessly unromantic, this feminist reworking of the fairy tale has us under its spell.
