Logan (2017)
93%
“Director James Mangold shoots and orchestrates action with an appreciable clarity, and when he synchs up with the pounding drums of Marco Beltrami's score, the mayhem has a lively intensity.” –

Jasper Jones (2017)
78%
“Perkins, finding the sweet spot between childish goofiness and adult drama, keeps things fleet, funny, and just the right side of suspenseful; tonally, the film is a match for any Spielbergian 80s coming-of-age classic.” –

Suicide Squad (2016)
26%
“The air almost immediately starts leaking out of the film once it starts. The whole first half-hour is a riot of blunt exposition, useless flashbacks, and false starts. This is a movie that doesn't even know how to begin.” –

The Turning (2013)
86%
“If nothing else, The Turning is probably value for money. Quantity counts for something, after all, as do good intentions. But they can't ever fully satisfy.” –

Nasty Baby (2015)
68%
“Sebastin Silva's Nasty Baby is an amiably funny traipse through the lives of a group of coddled inner-city hipsters, until suddenly, viciously, it's not.” –

The Witch (2015)

“Even as the events carry a tinge of absurdity, Eggers' sure technique ensures a thick current of dread runs throughout.” –
