Movie Reviews

In a word, Fantastic Four... isn't. But I suppose you want something to back that up, so here goes...

Ricki and the Flash is proof positive that an all-time great in the lead role isn't enough for a movie to succeed.

While not a breakthrough from Park or even the height of his output (remember Chicken Run?), this new film is the kind of gentle, eager-to-please winner that we don't see much these days.

So, how good is it?  Check out our review for more information!

I did try to think of something I didn't like about the movie but... that appears to be impossible.

After a string of flops, including last year's Blended with his go-to romantic lead Drew Barrymore, Pixels is probably the best comedy Sandler's made in a while.

I always think a good summer movie needs three things: a plot that keeps me interested, a reasonable amount of action, and—just saying—a little eye candy. Self/less delivers all that and more in a twisty-turny, edge-of-your-seat story that requires more than a little suspension of disbelief but is definitely worth the effort.

Don't let the animation fool you; this isn't really a movie for wee ones. The concepts are too sophisticated for the toddler crowd to appreciate. To an adult, Inside Out is almost painfully funny. All those emotions are oh-so-familiar and their reactions are spot on.

Rather than serving as a well-timed tribute to service dogs and their handlers with Independence Day weekend just around the corner, Max winds up being a strange breed of patriotism and head-scratching antics.

Part of the fun of Big Game is figuring out just when, and how, such key details will re-emerge in the story—although your willingness to go along with such routine plotting may depend on the amount of money you spent on tickets to Big Game.

Many critics—this one included—complain about the glut of sequels and lack of new stories out of Hollywood. This year's Mad Max: Fury Road and Jurassic World show how well done sequels can be.

Love & Mercy is an increasingly rare treat at the movies—a film not aimed squarely at teenagers and with award-caliber performances from its lead actors.

An action-hero movie dressed up as a family-values film 

The trouble with Tomorrowland essentially boils down to this: Jetpacks and a few other visual wonders aside, we have to be told, via the characters, why it’s such a special, essential place.

Where Hope Grows isn't the kind of movie that feels like an advance for films aimed at Christian audiences, but neither is it a step back. That most surprising thing about it is just how unsurprising it is.

This fanciful, entertaining and earnest little film ponders the question of what it really means to have the faith of a child.

We get this video review from Focus on the Family's Plugged In!

Beautifully shot, the film is never less than easy on the eyes, but its central romance needed a bolt of lightning to bring The Age of Adaline fully to life.
