      3/5
      		The Sunshine Boys (1975) Ken Hanke The sole point of calm in this work that constantly confuses loud for funny is George Burns, who underplays every scene and walks off with what accolades there are.

      4/5
      		The Unforeseen (2007) Ken Hanke Very thought-provoking and worth seeing.

      4/5
      		The Strange Case of Dr. Rx (1942) Ken Hanke Flick, fast and fun.

      4/5
      		Transsiberian (2008) Ken Hanke Anderson hasn't made a great film here, but he's made a very good one. Just don't go to it thinking it's a fun "train thriller."

      4.5/5
      		The Plainsman (1936) Ken Hanke It's also one of DeMille's best movies, occasionally (like the last shot) achieving the truly mythical. And both Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur are everything movie stars should be.

      4.5/5
      		Lady on a Train (1945) Ken Hanke It's a lot of fun in that slick 1940s way.
      Posted Apr 21, 2020
      4/5
      		The House of the Seven Gables (1940) Ken Hanke The results are a good, if far from great, little film.

      .5/5
      		I Do... Until I Don't (2017) Francis X. Friel The new indie rule would seem to be, why have something to say when having nothing to say is just as viable an option.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		Home Again (2017) Francis X. Friel Is there anything less relatable than rich, successful white people whining about how hard they have it?
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		Leap! (2016) Francis X. Friel Heavy-handed, hideous and humorless, the talented supporting voice cast can't do much with this tripe that even the little kids in the target audience will assuredly rip to shreds on the way home.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		The LEGO NINJAGO Movie (2017) Francis X. Friel The low point of the Lego franchise drops the ball hard by being a warmer, fuzzier retread of the first two films.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) Francis X. Friel A dream of dark and troubling things.

      		Marshall (2017) Francis X. Friel Young Mr. Lincoln by way of the Hallmark Channel.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2.5/5
      		Unfriend (2016) Francis X. Friel Sometimes it's fun to just sit back and let a movie jump-scare you for 95 minutes.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		American Assassin (2017) Francis X. Friel How on Earth is this from the same guy who gave us L.I.E. and 12 and Holding?
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		Flatliners (2017) Francis X. Friel A heartless remake of already brain-dead material.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Brad's Status (2017) Francis X. Friel A good cast and an OK script are let down by directorial fumbling and an ending that leaves you wondering just what exactly, if anything, the film was ever trying to say.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      4/5
      		The Midwife (2017) Francis X. Friel Provost delivers Ozu by way of Chantal Akerman in this razor-sharp portrait of troubled, dreary, ordinary lives.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      3.5/5
      		Happy Death Day (2017) Francis X. Friel Turns out being a shameless Groundhog Day rip-off is not the worst thing that can happen to your movie.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Geostorm (2017) Francis X. Friel At least they tried to go weird with it, which I will always appreciate.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Jigsaw (2017) Francis X. Friel Fun and gruesome though it may be, it's too little too late to save the now eight-deep Saw series.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) Francis X. Friel Every time a cash register rings, a studio executive gets their wings.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      3/5
      		Thank You for Your Service (2017) Francis X. Friel Cold but never heartless and never afraid of how desolate the landscape of mental illness can be.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017) Francis X. Friel This film is a cinematic hate crime.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      3.5/5
      		Ferdinand (2017) Francis X. Friel Loud and raucous while staying gentle and sweet, the film has its heart in the right place and is one of the better releases from animation house Blue Sky.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		The Star (2017) Francis X. Friel A weird and off-putting story conceit that doesn't add anything new to one of the most often-told stories of modern times.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      4.5/5
      		Wonderstruck (2017) Francis X. Friel An underrated master delivers one of the best films of the year.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Just Getting Started (2017) Francis X. Friel Scripts this bad will sometimes seem fun with enough enthusiasm behind or in front of the camera, but the star power on display isn't enough to make this anything but a (hopefully) forgettable misstep for all involved.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      3.5/5
      		The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) Francis X. Friel A great supporting cast and beautiful photography capturing a fairy-tale-like 19th-century London.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) Francis X. Friel A lot more knife fights and exploding yachts than you might expect.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      4/5
      		Peter Rabbit (2018) Francis X. Friel A breathless, dizzyingly joyous adventure that brings some seriously intelligent skill to these classic hare-brained characters.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2.5/5
      		Insidious: The Last Key (2018) Francis X. Friel A lot of fumbling over themes of family unity and believing in yourself - and that abusive fathers may not always be the most trustworthy people.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      4/5
      		Early Man (2018) Francis X. Friel Serves as a reminder that Aardman is always out there creating worlds just as distinctive in their tone and overall aesthetic as anything Disney or Pixar were producing in their '50s or '90s heydays.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Proud Mary (2018) Francis X. Friel A striking ineptitude of pacing and motivation.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		Forever My Girl (2018) Francis X. Friel Every character in the movie acts like a brainwashed zombie just dying to let this clown walk all over them.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2.5/5
      		12 Strong (2018) Francis X. Friel A sprawling and leaden Bruckheimer monster.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      3/5
      		A Wrinkle in Time (2018) Francis X. Friel Ava DuVernay's clunky but big-hearted adaptation is equal parts Madeleine L'Engle, Zack Snyder and David Lynch.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		Death Wish (2018) Francis X. Friel Eli Roth has proven consistently that he has a pretty loosey-goosey understanding of human nature, let alone basic cinematic grammar.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      3.5/5
      		Every Day (2018) Francis X. Friel A playful, thoughtful film that delves deep into the throes of first love with a decidedly queer bent that lets it stand out from the rest of the teen romance pack.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		The Hurricane Heist (2018) Francis X. Friel An absurdly over-the-top spectacle that doesn't overcome an overstuffed script and uneven cast.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      4/5
      		The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018) Francis X. Friel A well-made lean and nasty splatterfest.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		7 Days in Entebbe (2018) Francis X. Friel While stylish in places, the film flops in every conceivable way in tackling weighty philosophical elements against one of the most divisive political situations of the last century.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		I Can Only Imagine (2018) Francis X. Friel The film veers so far off-course that I could barely believe my eyes.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      2/5
      		Chappaquiddick (2017) Francis X. Friel Was Teddy the Fredo of the Kennedy boys?
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		Midnight Sun (2018) Francis X. Friel Like a live-action and weirdly insensitive version of that sun level from Super Mario Bros. 3.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      4/5
      		Love, Simon (2018) Francis X. Friel A sweet, sincere and attentive film about young love and friendship that passes the Howard Hawks test and deserves a longer shelf life than most teen comedies are allowed these days.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		Acrimony (2018) Francis X. Friel A movie that gaslights its own characters at the expense of tricking its audience.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      .5/5
      		Blumhouse's Truth or Dare (2018) Francis X. Friel Its fundamental lack of faith in its own story only becomes more and more obvious as the movie goes on.
      Posted Mar 21, 2019
      1/5
      		Finding Your Feet (2017) Francis X. Friel Finding Your Feet plays as if it's ripped straight from the Miramax reject pile circa 1994.
