  Surprise! Paddington an Engrossing Kids' Film with Charm and Loveliness for All The trailers don't do it justice; beneath the film's exterior is a lot of heart and cinematic magic, and very little troublesome content. Susan Ellingburg Apr 28, 2015

  Graphic Inherent Vice is, First and Last, an Exercise in Style Proves such a strange yet assured stylistic detour from Paul Thomas Anderson's standard that it’ll likely intrigue few beyond devotees. Jeffrey Huston Apr 28, 2015

  Taken 3 is a So-So Ending to a Ho-Hum Franchise As much as this franchise wanted to be the second coming of Jason Bourne, it never came close. Christa Banister Apr 21, 2015
• Burton's Big Eyes Bigger Than a Basic Tale of Art vs. Commerce A compelling study of artistic conviction and compromise, perhaps an honest introspection of Burton's own career. Jeffrey Huston Apr 14, 2015
• A Most Violent Year a Precisely Crafted Homage Lacking a Clear Voice An impressively rendered facsimile of the great films by 1970s American auteurs. Impossible not to admire yet without distinction itself. Jeffrey Huston Apr 07, 2015
• Interstellar Has Big Screen Imagery, Simpler Themes May be Christopher Nolan's most ambitious film yet, but it shows both his best instincts and his worst. Christian Hamaker Mar 31, 2015
• Handsome Imitation Game Puts Agenda above Intrigue A well-mounted, sometimes engaging but ultimately frustrating production; woe to the movie that isn't sure what it wants to say. Christian Hamaker Mar 31, 2015
• Wild Wields the Power to Inspire Those Who Can Stomach Its Hard R-Rating Witherspoon pours herself into the role of hiker Cheryl Strayed so wholly that she redefines our perceptions of her range and depth. Jeffrey Huston Mar 31, 2015
• A Diversion Into the Woods Can be Dark but Delightful Meryl Streep, delightful music, and just enough weirdness keep things interesting here. The film is a lot of fun despite the darker tone. Christa Banister Mar 24, 2015
• Unbroken Adaptation Works but Waters Down Redemption Jolie's direction is competent and the film feels like a classic Hollywood war movie. What it doesn't feel like is Zamperini’s full tale. Christian Hamaker Mar 24, 2015
• Mixed Bag Hobbit Trilogy Concludes with a Convoluted Farewell Jackson broke a simple story into three larger parts, and now seems unsure how to fit the pieces together in this middling conclusion. Christa Banister Mar 24, 2015
• Psychotic Moses, Scientific 'Miracles' Doom Ridley Scott's Exodus It's with his portrayal of 'God' that Scott draws his line in the sand, crosses it, and creates a Moses story of his own secular fancy. Jeffrey Huston Mar 17, 2015
