By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 31 Mar 2016

One of the best movies of the year so far -- a riveting, white-knuckle thriller to rank with the best of Hitchcock, and an examination of the…

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 18 Mar 2016

Review of The Young Messiah (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 18 Mar 2016

Review of Gods of Egypt (2016)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 03 Mar 2016

Review of Triple 9 (2016)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 03 Mar 2016

Review of Eddie the Eagle (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 03 Mar 2016

Some hilarious facets of the true story are left out while much is invented, but the movie is an irresistible sports tearjerker…

Review of How to Be Single (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 25 Feb 2016

Review of Zoolander 2 (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 25 Feb 2016

The story is beside the point in this pointless movie; it's less tasteless and offensive than the original, but just as god-awful…

Review of Deadpool (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 25 Feb 2016

Some of the jokes in Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick's script (from the Marvel comics by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza) are pretty funny, which…

Review of Jane Got a Gun (2015)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 12 Feb 2016

The story unfolds in a choppy flashback structure that robs the story of any momentum, there's never a strong emotional connection to the characters…

Review of Where to Invade Next (2015)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 11 Feb 2016

Review of The Finest Hours (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 05 Feb 2016

Review of The Forest (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 05 Feb 2016

Dormer gives a nicely layered double performance as both twins-at least for the first hour or so, before the cheap scares and nonsense take over…

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 05 Feb 2016
