Veronica Mars

Rated as: 3/5

Rejoice, Marshmallows: Your favorite sardonic private eye is back, grown from surly adolescence into hardened adulthood.

Enemy

Rated as: 3/5

All the way back to Donnie Darko, Jake Gyllenhaal has had an inchoate sense of evolution about him, a tricky quality that better actors can’t pull off half as well.

Bad Words

Rated as: 3/5

Jason Bateman plays right to his secret strengths as Guy, a bitter 40-year-old schemer who enters a national spelling bee by exploiting a loophole.

The Art of the Steal

Rated as: 2/5

In this well-cast but tedious heist comedy, Kurt Russell plays an ex-con tempted by the proverbial One Last Job.

On My Way

Rated as: 3/5

This lightweight, pleasingly low-key drama has a bit more narrative incident than Catherine Deneuve driving around the French countryside—but not much.
