Movie Reviews and Previews Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople Sometimes you go into a movie with fairly high expectations, and based on previous work, you feel pretty good about those expectations being met.

Movie Reviews and Previews Zac Efron is tired in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates The movie poster for Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates promises the movie is full of "hot messes," and boy does it deliver as advertised.

Movie Reviews and Previews Louis CK and Jenny Slate in The Secret Life of Pets Louis CK is not an obvious choice to headline an animated children’s film in the Toy Story mold about what our pets do all day while we’re not home. But his is the leading voice in The Secret Life of Pets, in which he portrays Max, a little By Sarah • Jul 08, 2016 10:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Matthew McConaughey in Free State of Jones A Confederate soldier, played by Matthew McConaughey with a scraggly History Beard, navigates a Civil War battlefield.

War By Sarah • Jul 07, 2016 04:05 pm

Amazingness The Shallows: Mimi version Yesterday a reader called Jessie sent me Wesley Morris’s review of Blake Lively’s The Shallows for The New York Times. It is a hilariously bitchy piece of writing. Wesley was initially excited about going to see The Shallows. Because… he thought the star of The Shallows was Kate By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 04:38 pm

But The Shallows, aka Blake Lively vs. A Shark, is a solid B-movie. It’s effectively scary and sort of stylish, and Blake Lively isn’ By Sarah • Jul 04, 2016 12:05 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Bradley & Irina in Paris Bradley Cooper was on a roll for a while there professionally. Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and (the overrated) American Sniper, back to back to back to back over three years. And since then…kind of a slump.
