Dueling Ferrell & Wahlberg Should Have Made
Daddy's Home
Funnier
This movie would've been so much better if the leads had switched roles. As it is, it's neither edgy enough for the comedy crowd, or friendly enough for the family crowd.

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.

Star Wars VII
Awakens a Force of a Franchise
After the excitement and energy of the first act, the film - one of the best in the series and much easier to follow than the prequels - develops an emotional core that involves some measure of regret and even, you might say, spiritual struggle.

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 of making a really good apology.

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.

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.

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.

Church Satire Fails on All Fronts - Especially Humor - in
Don Verdean
It could've been timely satire. Instead, it falls flat in every possible way: shockingly unfunny with a point of view so tepid and timid that you're not quite sure why the Hesses went after the modern church in the first place.

The Letters
Canonizes Mother Teresa to the Exclusion of Making Her Human
Basically the Catholic version of the Faith Based Film, its fascinating subject - Mother Teresa and her writings - ends up making for only a moderately compelling movie.

The Good Dinosaur
Falls Short of Extraordinary
While The Good Dinosaur certainly has all the pieces of a classic Pixar film, they never quite form a unified whole.

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.

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.

Impressive Cast, Sobering Truths Put This Film in the
Spotlight
Takes a sensitive look at some very hard truths but doesn't take the easy bait to rail against religion, instead humbly tackling a grave topic with uncompromising candor.

Secret in Their Eyes
is Surprisingly Unforgettable
Just when the account threatens to lose interest, director and screenwriter Billy Ray inserts a shot of narrative adrenaline that the slow-building tale needs to get us to its surprising finish.

Banal
By the Sea
is Beautiful but Boring
Director and female lead Angelina Jolie Pitt turns an intriguing-enough premise into a sumptuously-lit slog of a movie where the most exciting event is seeing which exquisite silk nightgown Jolie will select to mope around in.

The 33
is a TV Movie of the Week, but a Big-Budget Good One
More well-made than well-told, but absolutely convincing in affirming one of the most important ideals of all: to never ever give up.

Love the Coopers
Can't Compete with Superior Holiday Home Viewing Options
Although it improves as it goes, it digs a deep enough hole early on that, by the time it manages to dig itself out, it’s hard to know if the effort was worthwhile.

Faith, Family & Football Front and Center in
My All American
This true story sports film from the writer of Hoosiers and Rudy isn't just set in the past; it actually feels like it came from there. And yet for as antiquated as the first hour feels, the second still ends up providing a satisfying finish.

In a High-Tech World,
Peanuts
is a Lo-Fi Delight
Considering how sophisticated animated movies have become thanks to Pixar, one still couldn’t help wondering if something based on a comic strip back in 1950 could please parents and their children.

Drawn Out
Spectre
Will Test the Patience of All but the Most Devoted Bond Fans
Bond fans will find enough connections to earlier Bond stories to feel satisfied with this bloated entry in the long-running series, which has seen its share of highs and lows.
