  Hunger Games Finale: Fan-Satisfying Despite Unfortunate Timing Fans of the books will be happy. But more casual viewers should be advised that this one lacks some of the colorful, over-the-top spectacle of earlier films. Susan Ellingburg Mar 22, 2016

  Romantic Brooklyn a Charming Tale of Hope and Home Not all of us leave home to find adventure and make new beginnings. But most of us do, at least once. For this reason, Brooklyn will resonate with most of us in many ways. Debbie Holloway Mar 15, 2016
• Plenty of Family Fun on This Road Chip There's more to this story than cute critters, catchy music and groan-worthy jokes. It touches on the fear of abandonment common to adopted children, the difficulties of blended families, and the importance... Susan Ellingburg Mar 15, 2016
• The Big Short is the Most Entertaining (and Sobering) Economics Lesson Ever Like a well-staged morality play that’s far more entertaining than preachy, this film asks the big questions The Wolf of Wall Street never quite got around to. Christa Banister Mar 15, 2016
• Sisters: A Late-Blooming, Coming-of-Age Tale Drenched in Crude Sex Underneath all the smut is a well-performed dramedy about a wildly dysfunctional family that somehow manages to learn how to function. Susan Ellingburg Mar 15, 2016
• Strong Female Leads Aside, This Carol Doesn't Quite Sing Blanchett may be considered an Oscar frontrunner for her performance, but Carol, about a lesbian love affair in the 1950s, is pretty scant on substance and a distinct point of view. Christa Banister Mar 15, 2016

• In the Heart of the Sea is Under-whale-ming The whale attack and a framing device featuring Herman Melville en route to writing Moby Dick are interesting, but the rest of the film fails to prick the imagination like Nathaniel Philbrick's book. Christian Hamaker Mar 08, 2016
• Uneven Macbeth Retains a 'Certain Cultural Value' It’s a moody piece and the design reflects that, full of fog and damp and the wild. But there are some pacing problems and Fassbender's title character can't hold a candle to Cotillard's Lady Macbeth. Susan Ellingburg Mar 08, 2016
• Creed Packs a Franchise-Reinvigorating Punch Not only pays homage to the original Rocky with plenty of knowing winks, but raises the bar with a solid storyline, memorable performances and even a little existential food for thought. Christa Banister Mar 01, 2016
• Room's Confrontation with 'Intimate Evil' is Deeply Personal Brie Larson blossoms in the kind of staggering turn that Oscar nominations – and careers – are made of. Jeffrey Huston Mar 01, 2016
