Film Reviews
Chicken With Plums
From the makers of the animated Persepolis comes this modern-day, live-action Arabian tale.
End of Watch
This believable L.A. cop drama, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena, is from the writer of Training Day, David Ayer.
Heroine
Last Ounce of Courage
A dead veteran's family heals their loss through their "free speech" battle to save Christmas from the godless ACLU.
The Master
Philip S. Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix act out the internal (and eternal) war between the analytical and implusive that is the principal inquiry of P.T. Anderson's film.
Resident Evil: Retribution
In the fifth installment of this horror franchise, Milla Jovovich again stars as the saga's heroine Alice, who fights the Umbrella Corporation and the undead.
Toys in the Attic
In this animated Czech film, a teddy bear, a mechanical mouse, and a marionette join forces to save their kidnapped friend.
Trouble With the Curve
Despite its love of baseball lore, this film, starring Clint Easstwood and Amy Adams, is really a melodrama about the reconciliation of a father and daughter.
2 Days in New York
This ebullient domestic comedy by Julie Delpy, in which she co-stars with Chris Rock, is a follow-up to 2007’s 2 Days in Paris.
Unconditional
In this inspirational film, a woman loses her faith after her husband is killed in an act of senseless violence.
