  Captain Fantastic: Good for Discussion, Bad for Christians Nope, it's not a superhero story and if you think the "fantastic" in the title means "great," think again. This odd, thought-provoking film is not for the squeamish, but certainly raises discussion on... Susan Ellingburg Oct 25, 2016

  Mr. Church is Undercooked but Still Appetizing While this heartfelt story of familial love doesn’t serve up anything too exciting, Mr. Church still manages to entertain thanks to a handful of winning performances. Ryan Duncan Oct 25, 2016

  Independence Day: Resurgence is Disaster-by-Numbers Not the most amazing movie of the summer, but fun enough to be a good excuse to sit in an air-conditioned theater for a couple of hours. Susan Ellingburg Oct 18, 2016
• Other than CGI, There's Not Much to See Through the Looking Glass Much like its Tim Burton-directed predecessor, this sequel is a sweeping CGI romp with tender moments, hijinks, and simplistic messages and morals. Earnest Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Sacha Baron Cohen as... Debbie Holloway Oct 18, 2016
• Ghostbusters Just a Big Marshmallow That Could Use Some Toasting Not so much a remake as a re-imagining. It's fairly fun in a fluffy kind of way, but there's no plot to speak of and the effects are nothing to shout about. The Ghostbusters play well together but is that... Susan Ellingburg Oct 11, 2016
• Legend of Tarzan Succeeds Where Other Franchise Revivals Fail Adventurous and ambitious if not altogether as rousing as the best summer blockbusters, The Legend of Tarzan revives a franchise for which no one seemed to be clamoring. But unlike John Carter or The Lone... Christian Hamaker Oct 11, 2016
• Ice Age: Collision Course Not a Complete Disaster While there’s nothing particularly noteworthy about the fifth installment of Ice Age, the film still manages to be a pleasant, family-friendly outing for anyone with extra time and money to spare. Ryan Duncan Oct 11, 2016
• The Infiltrator is the Summer 80's Throwback for the Non-Ghostbusters Crowd Plots about defeating the drug trade used to be a dime a dozen, and The Infiltrator hits all the familiar beats. But strong acting and several well-executed sequences make it an engaging, if uneven, drama... Christian Hamaker Oct 10, 2016
• There’s Nothing World-Shaking about X-Men: Apocalypse While not exactly a step backward, X-Men: Apocalypse does nothing to broaden the Marvel franchise either. Saddled with a mediocre villain and an out-of-control narrative, the film manages to salvage itself... Ryan Duncan Oct 04, 2016
• Warcraft Wins Only the Staunchest of Fans Warcraft is an adventure that’s fun to watch and easy to enjoy. Sadly, unless viewers are experts in the deep mythos of Azeroth, they’re likely to get lost along the journey. Ryan Duncan Sep 27, 2016
• Central Intelligence Has Hart, but Little Intelligence or Heart A dumb-downed script that relies way too heavily on the charisma, charm, and comedy chops of Kevin Hart. It plays like a Disney Channel movie but with loads of language, violence, and sexual humor. Jeffrey Huston Sep 27, 2016
• Free State of Jones: Impactful While Imperfect Based on true events, Free State of Jones is a unique Civil War-era story, showing how both sides of a war can be violent and oppressive. Structurally imperfect and a bit too meandering, the film still runs... Debbie Holloway Sep 20, 2016
