Movie Reviews
Ghostbusters (Columbia Pictures, PG-13)
Haters gonna hate, but who cares? The rest of us will be out enjoying the most entertaining film of the summer.
The Infiltrator (Broad Green Pictures, R)
The larger problem is that no one has bothered to assemble the scenes into an interesting story.
Marinoni: The Fire in the Frame (First Run Features, NR)
If you’re looking to learn something about cycling or even just about people, you surely won’t find answers.
Wiener-Dog (IFC Films, R)
In a string of assumedly significant metaphors, Solondz’ latest film has its shining moments, but ultimately falls short of leaving any resonating message about purpose, meaning, or the hardship we call life.
The Music of Strangers: Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble (The Orchard, NR)
It’s ultimately unsatisfying, offering a little bit of this and a little bit of that without ever making much of an impression.
The Innocents (Music Box Films, PG-13)
Rape as a weapon of war, or simply as a reward to the male soldiers fighting it, has played a part in many conflicts.
The BFG – 3D (Walt Disney Movie Studios, PG)
The cinematography and effects in this movie as out of this world, but between Spielberg and Disney.
Our Kind of Traitor (Roadside Attractions, R)
The whole film feels like there’s something a bit off, which is all the more annoying since there is so much that is good about it.
Les Cowboys (Cohen Media Group, R)
The problem is that it doesn’t really succeed even as a chilly intellectual exercise, and it most certainly does not succeed as a film.
