Film Reviews
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
This third film in the tween series is funny without being in any way condescending to its target audience.
Killer Joe
Matthew McConaughey's Killer Joe is sociopathy incarnate; William Friedkin adds visual punch to the venality within Tracy Letts' screenplay.
The Queen of Versailles
How does 90,000 square feet sound?
Ruby Sparks
Ruby Sparks tries hard, and though it's a likable film she never completely sparks.
Total Recall
This Total Recall is fast, furious, and frequently fun, but it lacks the snappy, weirdo vibe of its predecessor.
