Review of Hancock (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 18 Apr 2017

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Apr 2017

The Lost City of Z cannot compare in intensity with Herzog’s film, with its magisterial delirium…

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Apr 2017

Even with Gere’s standout work, a little of Norman goes a long way, and this film offers up a lot of Norman…

Review of Tommy's Honour (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Apr 2017

Connery (an actor as well, and the son of Sean Connery) keeps the performers honest, and a few of the father-son tussles, with their admixture…

Review of Wordplay (2006)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Apr 2017

At times the film resembles a promo for Shortz and the Times, and the celebrity puzzlers, who include filmmaker Ken Burns, Bill Clinton, and…

Review of Blood Diamond (2006)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 11 Apr 2017

Review of Going in Style (1979)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 06 Apr 2017

It’s a clunky, over-the-hill gang escapade enlivened only by the presence of the three Oscar winners, all of whom are so far beyond the movie’s…

Review of Colossal (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 06 Apr 2017

Review of Their Finest (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 06 Apr 2017

Review of Camp (2003)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 05 Apr 2017

Art as a passport to healing may be what audiences are craving these days, but the poultice provided by this movie couldn't cover a paper cut…

Review of The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 30 Mar 2017

This story is powerful enough without our being heavily coaxed all the time how to feel…

Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 30 Mar 2017

It’s unfortunate, if predictable, that Hollywood found it necessary to almost entirely eliminate deep think in favor of deep action…

Review of Life (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 24 Mar 2017

Given the fact that Life was co-written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who co-wrote the wacked-out “Zombieland” and “Deadpool,” the…
