New movie releases
Out of the Furnace
- Rated as: 3/5
A full-on plunge into rust-belt desperation, Scott Cooper’s aching economic tragedy is informed by a dying town.
Tim's Vermeer
- Rated as: 3/5
Nonartist and nerd-of-all-trades Tim Jenison embarked on a six-year odyssey to paint his own Vermeer from scratch.
Twice Born
- Rated as: 2/5
“The weird love stories are always the best,” asserts Emile Hirsch—and you'll have to take his word he means this one.
The Last Days on Mars
- Rated as: 3/5
Yes, it's basically Red Planet crossed with Night of the Living Dead, but don’t be dissuaded by silliness.
Lenny Cooke
- Rated as: 3/5
He coulda been somebody, a contender, instead of a cautionary tale—which is the takeaway of this docu-portrait.
Swerve
- Rated as: 3/5
This thriller has all the elements of a memorably gritty B movie, and for a while, it gets by on its muscular charms.
Night Train To Lisbon
- Rated as: 1/5
Don’t expect much of an adrenaline rush from Bille August’s monumentally dull adaptation of a philosophical novel.
White Reindeer
- Rated as: 1/5
The central joke is that outwardly perfect people have dark secrets, but the film is tainted by a sneering sense of superiority.
