Frosty the Snowman (1969) 73% EDIT “The animation is folksy and cute, like an old-timey holiday card, and the raspy voice of Jimmy Durante...as the narrator is like home sweet home.” – New York Daily News Nov 30, 2018 Full Review The Equalizer 2 (2018) 52% EDIT “It's got some curves and tension, but it's dogged by issues.” – New York Daily News Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Hotel Artemis (2018) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The wannabe thriller set in the near future packs gritty style and ambiance, but that's no match when the story has no stakes and doesn't add up.” – New York Daily News Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Breaking In (2018) 27% EDIT “"Breaking In"? More like "Gimme a break."” – New York Daily News May 10, 2018 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's smart, funny and bursting with ideas about the joys and rigors motherhood and reckoning with the past and the future.” – New York Daily News May 2, 2018 Full Review Annihilation (2018) 88% 3/5 EDIT “"Annihilation" sputters.” – New York Daily News Feb 21, 2018 Full Review The Commuter (2018) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Through it all, Neeson - strapping, grizzled, growling and, after the "Taken" series and deep immersion in the action genre - gets the job done.” – New York Daily News Jan 10, 2018 Full Review In the Fade (2017) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Diane Kruger's raw, real-as-it-gets performance as a grieving woman bent on vengeance in the German thriller "In the Fade" grabs from the get-go and never lets loose its grip.” – New York Daily News Dec 26, 2017 Full Review The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) 79% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, "The Man Who Invented Christmas" is an enjoyable enough diversion.” – New York Daily News Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Wonder (2017) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kids may not notice or care, but the movie, which advocates kindness, comes with an irony. It's a film about embracing differences and seeing beyond appearances, but it rarely bucks convention or gets more than skin deep.” – New York Daily News Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “In the end, it's all about McDormand, who's great at playing ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances.” – New York Daily News Nov 8, 2017 Full Review The Snowman (2017) 7% 2/5 EDIT “Roll "The Snowman" to the top of the ever-rising mountain of lousy movies with good trailers.” – New York Daily News Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Wonderstruck (2017) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Yes, there's a sweet payoff. But "Wonderstruck" tries one's patience.” – New York Daily News Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Only the Brave (2017) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “The pacing is slow and deliberate. Director Joseph Kosinski knows that it takes time to build real relationships and feelings. When the story finally and inevitably leads to Yarnell Hill, in Arizona, the impact is devastating and hard to shake.” – New York Daily News Oct 17, 2017 Full Review The Mountain Between Us (2017) 39% 2.5/5 EDIT “Kate Winslet has rotten traveling luck, but at least she's got dreamy company during her big-screen disasters.” – New York Daily News Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Home Again (2017) 33% 2/5 EDIT “Reese Witherspoon's oversized appeal and radiance is no match for "Home Again," a ramshackle romcom short on both romance and laughs.” – New York Daily News Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Leap! (2016) 52% 2/5 EDIT “The story is inherently heart-tugging. There are some cute and cheeky moments and the animated ballet scenes swirl and twirl. But this cartoon comes up short in the charm and consistency departments.” – New York Daily News Aug 21, 2017 Full Review Patti Cake$ (2017) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “There's much to like in this story about the power of art, family and friendship. That includes a gritty look, a sweet surprise or two (like an echo from mom's musical past) and an ace cast.” – New York Daily News Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Marjorie Prime (2017) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “Like the play by Jordan Harrison it's based on, writer-director Michael Almereyda's film is small in scale, but pulls us in close with its provocative setup.” – New York Daily News Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Annabelle: Creation (2017) 71% 1.5/5 EDIT “If you go searching for an original idea in this tiresome thriller about a soul-sucking demon doll, you won't find one.” – New York Daily News Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Kidnap (2017) 35% 2/5 EDIT “Unlike "Taken," which it wants to be on wheels - "Kidnap" doesn't come with twists, turns and surprises that grab and hold you tight.” – New York Daily News Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Rough Night (2017) 45% 3/5 EDIT “Gets off to a fast, furious and flagrantly raunchy start only to stumble 30 minutes in. After that, it zigzags unsteadily between being comic and serious and never really achieves lift-off.” – New York Daily News Jun 14, 2017 Full Review Born in China (2016) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “"Born In China" consistently delivers an amazing eyeful.” – New York Daily News Apr 21, 2017 Full Review The Zookeeper's Wife (2017) 64% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film is at its best when Chastain is on screen - and that is a lot.” – New York Daily News Mar 30, 2017 Full Review Life (2017) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Director Daniel Espinosa whips up some nail-biting sequences. But the suspense is all by-the-numbers.” – New York Daily News Mar 24, 2017 Full Review
