Review of Seventh Son (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Feb 2015

I know it's early, but Seventh Son may actually be the worst movie of the year. It will most certainly be a contender…

Review of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Feb 2015

What saves the film is that it is also packed to the gills with the classic slapstick sweetness that makes SpongeBob — in or out of water,…

Review of Seventh Son (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Feb 2015

I know it's early, but Seventh Son may actually be the worst movie of the year. It will most certainly be a contender…

Review of Timbuktu (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Jan 2015

The screenplay — by the French Mauritania director and Malian co-writer Kessen Tall, in her feature debut — is a mesmerizing blend of the…

Review of Wild Card (2015)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Jan 2015

Although the film has little of the smarts and the sizzle of the best of Goldman, it does have a splash of the writer's sense of irony…

Review of Strange Magic (2015)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Jan 2015

The look of the animation has limited charm. The story is primarily a string of life lessons for little ones, impossible to miss…

Review of Winter Sleep (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Jan 2015

Like so much of Ceylan's work, Winter Sleep is a haunting piece…

Review of Little Accidents (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 15 Jan 2015

The look helps provide a little subtext, but not enough. For such an emotional piece, the dialogue stays too close to the surface…

Review of The Wedding Ringer (2015)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 15 Jan 2015

It's not quite a match made in heaven, but there is considerable comic chemistry between the high-octane Kevin Hart and the energy-conserving…

Review of Paddington (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 15 Jan 2015

Artfully and cleverly, the sweet spirit of that young bear from darkest Peru and his many London misadventures materializes brilliantly on…

Review of The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Jan 2015

A beautifully calibrated movie in the most traditional sense of the word -- the ideal marriage of topic, talent and tone…

Review of Taken 3 (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Jan 2015

This time around the dramatics and dialogue are so laugh-out-loud funny that if there is a 4 — despite the promises that 3 is the final chapter…

Review of Two Days, One Night (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 08 Jan 2015

That Two Days, One Night retains such an organic sensibility, even with a major star in the lead, is credit to both filmmakers and actress…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 24 Dec 2014

This portrait of a woman on the verge — of success, of suppression, of submission, of rebellion — is never fully realized…

Review of Into the Woods (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 24 Dec 2014

What makes Into the Woods so entertaining is the cleverness of the tale itself and the way specific characters match the talents of its storytellers…

Review of The Interview (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Dec 2014

Characterizing it as satire elevates the creative execution of the film's very silly faux assassination of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un…

Review of Annie (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Dec 2014

Director Will Gluck's glam, grim re-imagining of the Depression-era musical about the hard-hearted rich man and the little girl who melts him,…

Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 16 Dec 2014

The finale is not an all-out disappointment. It should satisfy the franchise's fans, and it does wrap up any loose ends you might be wondering about…

Review of Top Five (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Dec 2014

Top Five is fully loaded. The laughs are earned, the intelligence never disappears, all the performers shine…

Review of Inherent Vice (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Dec 2014

Joaquin Phoenix and the terrific acting ensemble that joins him in this pot-infused '70s-era beach noir create such a good buzz you can almost…
