Review of The Conjuring 2 (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 09 Jun 2016

Though The Conjuring 2 lacks some of what made its predecessor a genuinely excellent, critically-acclaimed horror film, it's still compelling…

Review of Genius (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 09 Jun 2016

Alas: the film is dull as tombs, partly because it's very hard to make the work of actually writing and editing look fun or even just interesting…

Review of Now You See Me 2 (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 08 Jun 2016

One thing Now You See Me 2 has going for it: a vice-grip on the art of misdirection. The downside…

Review of A Hologram for the King (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 21 Apr 2016

Translating life's happenstance into an effective bit of entertainment is trickier, and the movie has a disconcerting tendency to turn a hero's…

Review of The Jungle Book (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 13 Apr 2016

The real question, as for any remake, is simple: does it hold up? In the case of this Jungle Book... yes, and yes against all odds,…

Review of Sing Street (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 13 Apr 2016

Sing Street takes teenagers' troubles seriously while also letting them create like grown-ups -- and it's a rollicking time at the movies, too…

Review of Transcendence (2014)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

Transcendence becomes weirdly successful as a sort of cockeyed analogy for the gospel and the painful, tragic, violent beauty of the Incarnation…

Review of The Big Short (2015)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

Review of This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

We get set piece after set piece, character moment after character moment, with few of them doing more than letting characters talk about themselves…

Review of The Counselor (2013)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

[McCarthy] reminds us (with a particularly American sensibility) that this world is broken and tragic and not fair, and that pushing past that…

Review of The Monuments Men (2014)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

The Monuments Men is okay, if you don't expect too much from it. It's a fine rainy-Saturday movie. But shouldn't we expect more from our art…

Review of The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

That said, there's something about The Place Beyond the Pines that grows on you-something tragic, something that sits uncomfortably in the gut…

Review of Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

Review of 99 Homes (2015)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016

Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Christianity Today (953) on 12 Apr 2016
