Owns the least plausible and laughably awful ending committed to film in recent memory; nothing but a poor knock-off of The Notebook.

There's something delightfully retro and very-early-Disney about this worthwhile adaptation of the popular children's book.

Grisham-like courtroom melodrama layered with even more familial melodrama is utterly standard in the end, despite the strong male leads.

Goes a long way to indict the CIA and mainstream journalists that did the agency's bidding, but in the end it offers no answers or hope.

The stuff of compelling post-movie banter; more than just a capable cautionary tale. But at times every part of me recoiled in disgust.

Rather than a timely, relevant story, this poorer Left Behind plays like a throwback to the 70s, when disaster movies were all the rage.

A powerful movie about family, love, faith and being found. The story of Sudanese refugees comes to life with grace, humor, and dignity.

The Song may not make it to the top of the charts but it is (loosely) inspired by Scripture and might be excellent for date night.

The directors dedicated so much energy to making it surreal and quirky that they forgot who, namely the younger set, will be watching.

Feels like the studio dusted off an old script, hired an Oscar-winning team for illusion of merit, then re-branded an old TV property.

Jessica Chastain is absolutely dazzling but a lack of focus and seemingly endless sadness can't help wearing on the viewer after a while.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a superior treatment of similar themes and the search for meaning and purpose.

Levels of intensity and violence push the PG-13 boundaries, but the film is competent considering it's another teen dystopian adaptation.

Has a fabulously talented cast with authentic-feeling relationships. So what's the downside to this film? It is wildly inappropriate.

Yes, Neeson is officially stuck in a rut. Now his "special set of skills" action persona is lost in a film that's forgettable and drab.
