Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 03 Dec 2015

Erupting like a scalding geyser from the ground right beneath our feet, Spike Lee’s daring, dizzying, sympathetic, symphonic, vital, vehement…

Review of Trumbo (2007)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 06 Nov 2015

How could a movie about a great screenwriter have such a terrible screenplay…

Review of The Peanuts Movie (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 04 Nov 2015

The film disappointingly ditches the cartoonist’s modest visual formula for a photorealistic 3-D playground courtesy of the animation studio…

Review of Love (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 29 Oct 2015

The big draw should be 3-D, which enhances the visual intimacy, though only in shooting a male orgasm does Noé go gonzo with the format…

Review of Pan (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Oct 2015

Hugh Jackman gives the movie a bit of twinkle as a pirate who breathes pixie dust to stay fresh and relevant…

Review of The Walk (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 29 Sep 2015

The 17-minute wire-walking sequence is the most majestic simulation of a real event since the ship sinking in Titanic—a dazzling triumph…

Review of Captive (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 21 Sep 2015

The thin story has been stretched like Silly Putty to feature-film length and the result is utterly see-through in its sledgehammer moralizing…

Review of War Room (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 10 Sep 2015

War Room is a gold-plated piece of Bible thumping that’s resonating with the same audience that watches Jimmy Stewart get touched by an angel…

Review of Goodnight Mommy (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 02 Sep 2015

Goodnight Mommy, a brilliantly sinister horror film in the recent art-house mold of The Babadook and It Follows, has a premise that cracks…

Review of Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 30 Jul 2015

In a bold move that pays off, the movie jettisons dialogue altogether and tells its whole story through barn-animal noises, goofy sound effects,…

Review of Listen to Me Marlon (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 30 Jul 2015

A wondrously sly, moving, odd portrait—perfectly befitting its subject…

Review of Strangerland (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 09 Jul 2015

Kidman's best performances have often been as grieving moms (Dead Calm, The Others, Rabbit Hole) and here she provides the flaccid movie's…

Review of 10,000 Km (2014)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 01 Jul 2015

It’s a decent critique of romance in the digital age—until you realize how boring it is to watch people break up on Facebook…

Review of Tangerine (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 01 Jul 2015

Tangerine is touching for its non-condescending stance toward working girls and the spirit of the sidewalk…

Review of Minions (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 22 Jun 2015

If Minions were a toy, you’d hide its batteries…

Review of Manglehorn (2015)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 17 Jun 2015

The script would be sharper without subplots about returned love letters and the locksmith's glib son, yet the film is worth it for Pacino,…

Review of Set Fire to the Stars (2014)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 12 Jun 2015

The film wallows too much in its subject's glumness, but it comes alive whenever TV actor and co-writer Celyn Jones, whose only previous film…

Review of I'll See You in My Dreams (2003)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 14 May 2015
