Film Reviews
Will Ferrell commits 100% to this goofy, all-Spanish-language soap opera-cum-horse opera.
This potential cult-movie masterpiece is likely the most original dance film you'll see this year.
Agnieszka Holland, the director of Europa Europa, creates a blood-quickening Holocaust drama about Poles who were hidden in the sewers.
The Duplass brothers return with this finely observed slice of life starring Jason Segel, Ed Helms, and Susan Sarandon.
There are a few days left, filmgoers; don't start slacking now.
Eddie Murphy plays a truth-challenged literary agent who learns his lesson when a bizarre set of circumstances allow him to utter only 1,000 words before dying.
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum go back to high school in this new take on the old TV series.
