Terminator Genisys movie review: back from the future… again

Thu, Jul 02, 2015

I have a terrible feeling of deja vu. I have a terrible feeling of deja vu. I have a terrible feeling of deja vu. I have a terrible feeling of deja vu.

Magic Mike XXL movie review: crotch watch

Wed, Jul 01, 2015

A cringe-worthy jamboree of dimbulb manflesh that’s even more embarrassing than the first film. If you want a picture of the future, imagine Channing Tatum grinding his crotch in a human face, forever.

Amy documentary review: how the music dies

Tue, Jun 30, 2015

An immense film, looming in tragedy, an infuriating portrait of how celebrity warps artistry and how wealth warps love and how suffering trumps everything.

Hooray for movies about sex and love that aren’t about teenagers trying to get laid but adults still trying to figure it all out.

That Sugar Film documentary review: sugar size me

Fri, Jun 26, 2015

This funny and enlightening exposé of how unhealthy “healthy” processed food actually is is shocking, even if you’re already down on corporate food.

Michael Fassbender is never not worth watching, and his unique blend of cynical smarts and weary humor is perfectly suited to this bitterly funny road trip.

Minions movie review: the curtain of yellow mystique falls

I love the Minions and I thought they totally deserved their own movie. But I was wrong. Or, at least, this movie is not the movie they deserve.

Everyone’s Going to Die movie review: black comedy among the blues

Wed, Jun 24, 2015

Strange and wonderful and unclassifiable in the best way, this is an unexpectedly touching and oddly funny platonic romance. Sort of.

The Sisterhood of Night movie review: bitch hunt

Tue, Jun 23, 2015

There are no cartoon Mean Girls here; instead, we get striking portraits of girls in pain, desperately grasping for coping mechanisms.

Welcome to Me movie review: the ultimate selfie

Sun, Jun 21, 2015

A sort of miracle. A black comedy about a not-well woman saving herself is a savage satire on a not-well world that doesn’t realize anything’s wrong.
