Movies & Features

A smart, stylish movie that fools the eye even as it delights it. Prepare to watch closely—you’ll still be caught looking, but it’s all part of the fun. Just the thing for a summer night at the movies!

A disappointment for diehard Warcraft fans, but if you're a casual movie-goer, you'll agree it's not The Lord of the Rings; but on the plus side, you won't have to spend three-quarters of a day just working your way to the end credits.

Coming to theaters fall 2016, Ben-Hur is a new adaptation of the classic story of Judah Ben–Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army.  Featuring music from for King & Country! 

Here's a sneak peek at the movie trailer and more info!

The newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a bloated, obnoxious, mess of a movie, and it knows it. While the film tries to compensate by embracing its flaws with gusto, a few bright spots can’t stop the utter catastrophe which follows on screen. Overall, this sequel was better off in the dark.

Me Before You, based on JoJo Moyes' 2012 novel, aspires to be sweetly romantic … and ends up being a vulgar, maddening, frustrating movie that endorses euthanasia.

While not exactly a step backward, X-Men: Apocalypse does nothing to broaden the Marvel franchise either. Saddled with a mediocre villain and an out-of-control narrative, the film manages to salvage itself through the strength of its cast, but just barely.

While not exactly a step backward, X-Men: Apocalypse does nothing to broaden the Marvel franchise either. Saddled with a mediocre villain and an out-of-control narrative, the film manages to salvage itself through the strength of its cast, but just barely. 3 out of 5.

Tim Burton-directed predecessor, this sequel is a sweeping CGI romp with tender moments, hijinks, and simplistic messages and morals. Earnest Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Sacha Baron Cohen as the Lord of Time are easy to root for, but the film still breaks no new cinematic ground.

For a film born of a smartphone game, The Angry Birds Movie brings some surprisingly pleasant elements to the table. While not the next great leap in animation and not a film adults will want to see without the kids, it’s still got a clever-enough script and plenty of pop culture references to keep viewers engaged and even, at times, pensive.

Last Days in the Desert forces us to consider the humanity of Jesus in ways that can be challenging and, at times, unnerving. It's one thing to read in Luke that Jesus was tempted in the desert. It's another to consider what that might have looked and felt like

“I'm going, but I don't want to see 'my friends' fight," said my companion. The battles are epic and the quips keep coming, but this dark story opens a wound in Team Avengers that may never completely heal. By all means see it, but expect to come away a little heart-heavy.

This is, then, a movie that has some admirable things to say about moms and rightly recognizes the hugely important role they play in shaping their children's lives. That said, Mother's Day embraces every permutation of how motherhood can occur

If The Lego Movie and Paddington showed the right way to adapt family movies from pre-existing properties, Rachet & Clank, pointlessly plotted with no one to root for in a low-stakes story, demonstrates how wrong it can go. Bring a watch—you'll be checking it often. 

Three of our finest actresses join Chris Hemsworth for a tale of what occurred before Snow White and the Huntsman, as well as the events that followed it. But this strange prequel-sequel hybrid has a restless, hodgepodge quality that doesn't create a happily-ever-after feeling.

Different in tone from the 1967 original, and nowhere near the bar set by 2015’s Cinderella remake, The Jungle Book charges full-speed toward one central theme: survival. The Odyssey-like structure is easy to follow for young viewers, while the darker and more mature elements hold the attention of parents

For all its faults, God's Not Dead 2 does a solid job in making its arguments onscreen.  Believers will be pleased.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice delivers an epic showdown as promised, but not before lulling viewers to sleep with a tedious, brooding lecture on the nature of gods and power.

We all loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding for its loud charm and its unique spin on the rom-com. But without much ground to break "17 years later but still living on the same street," the sequel hinges almost entirely on homages to its predecessor.

Featuring an all-star cast, GOD’S NOT DEAD 2—the highly anticipated sequel to the hit movie of 2014—opens in theaters April 1, 2016.

We have an advanced sneak peek with this official movie trailer!

Must all franchise finales be divided into two parts? The Divergent Series: Allegiant—Part 1 halts the downward slide in quality of these drawn out concluding entries. It's not great, but it's a small step up from the dreary Hunger Games finale.

Thanks to strong performances, a story that's funny and touching in turns, and an uplifting message, all but the most cynical will leave the theater with a fresh appreciation for everyday, out-of-the ordinary miracles.
