Film Reviews
Gru exchanges supervillainy for domesticity in this sequel, although the Minions are still the animated film's best selling point.
The Lone Ranger is a Western without a compass.
This film is an extended hosanna to an undersung artist, the backup singer, and what a joyful noise it makes.
Vanessa Redgrave and Terence Stamp bring vitality to their roles in film otherwise filled with cliches about aging and the curative power of singing your heart out.
