Christian Hamaker

Thematically and visually dark and characterized by joylessness, this reboot manages to take the popcorn out of summer blockbusters.

If you’re a foodie in need of a funny movie, then this warm-hearted winner is the movie for you.

Dark, and sometimes darkly amusing, but never quite comes together in a way that makes it an easy sell for potential viewers.

Steven Knight proves himself a fine director, and Tom Hardy lays claim to serious awards consideration for his controlled performance.

Has an intriguing premise but gets less interesting, not more, once Will experiences transcendence.

Hasn't been promoted to Christians, yet it’s an inspiring, powerful film that revolves around the tension between justice and mercy.

As the flimsiness of the story becomes all too apparent, viewers may be wondering how much more they'll be able to endure.

Pummels viewers with its twisted protagonist's coarse, shocking monologue, then demands we revel in it. Feel free to walk out / never go.

A quick-running, G-rated, family friendly film about Madagascar that educates and inspires without dancing hippos or polka-dot zebras.

Another star-studded affair that’s also very, very funny, equally showcasing the talents of comedic actors and creative puppeteers.

May be for you if you enjoy deciphering the inner workings of the subconscious, but be prepared to explore some very dark places.

A more or less uncomfortable viewing experience depending on your tolerance for pranks, put-downs and a barrage of bad language.

A respectful telling of the life of Christ—perhaps too respectful—that, like so many other movies about Jesus, is a mostly solemn affair.

If this is Hayao Miyazaki's final film, it's a fitting farewell to an artist who inspired wonder in millions of fans both young and old.

What seemed like it might be a fantastic, magical story feels awkwardly stitched together, even laughable when not outright confusing.

This rapid-fire laugh machine is a wildly inventive, highly enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining family film when we least expect it.

Hard to care much about any of the lazy, libidinous characters, especially when so much time is spent on the least interesting of them.

Not even amusing in a "so-bad-it's-good" way. Should be the nail in the coffin of non-superhero comic book adaptations, but it won't be.
