Film Reviews
The East
This crypto-thriller that explores moral grounds before turning gauzy is the latest film from Sound of My Voice's Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij.
Man of Steel
This new Superman flies without a lot of emotional baggage, which is mostly a good thing though the character could stand a bit more dramatic heft.
Midnight's Children
Salman Rushdie wrote the screenplay for this film, which is based on his Booker Prize-winning novel about the children who were born at the exact hour of India's independence in 1947.
This Is the End
Be mindful when partying at James Franco's house: You could get stuck there for the apocalypse with Seth Rogen and Co.
