Review of Macbeth (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 11 Dec 2015

Kurzel's version of Macbeth is smart, assured and visually stunning. It's no double, double toil and trouble at all…

Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 11 Dec 2015

While it has its stunning visuals and exceptional sequences, and is, if you'll pardon me, a whale of a tale, it simply does not succeed at…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 03 Dec 2015

Chi-Raq is a vibrant, timely, important piece of work that stands up and says that the level of violence among young people, predominantly…

Review of Victor Frankenstein (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 25 Nov 2015

Sharp and enjoyable, like a breath of air that's both fresh and, due to the subject matter, fetid at the same time…

Review of The Good Dinosaur (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 24 Nov 2015

It's sweet and enjoyable, but it isn't particularly ambitious, either…

Review of Creed (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 24 Nov 2015

Like the sport of boxing itself, the luster of the Rocky movies has faded over time…

Review of Trumbo (2007)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 20 Nov 2015

Sadly, while the casting and acting of much of Jay Roach's film is great, on the whole it isn't up to Trumbo's caliber…

Review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 20 Nov 2015

Secret in Their Eyes never quite captures the intensity of the film it is based upon, making it a fairly standard thriller…

Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 19 Nov 2015

Yes, it's solid enough, and a satisfying conclusion, but with all of that in mind, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 is also strictly by the book…

Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

By David Elliott (754) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 16 Nov 2015

Devout fans will have to go. For the rest of us, the best rewards of this show were long ago, in a galaxy that now seems far, far away…

Review of By the Sea (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 12 Nov 2015

Review of Spotlight (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 12 Nov 2015

It tells a tremendous story of journalism from behind the scenes; creates vibrant, well-acted characters, inhabited by terrific actors; and…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 06 Nov 2015

Craig turned the character into a dark, brooding, unhappy creature, but here he's really more bland than Bond, a shadow of his former self…

Review of Steve Jobs (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 15 Oct 2015

Boyle is and always has been an exciting, inventive director, and Sorkin is as interesting as they come, churning out a sense of dialogue that's…

Review of Crimson Peak (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 15 Oct 2015

Despite its cast, it's a bit thin on the acting, but like all of del Toro's films, it has a visual sensibility that's truly the star of the show…

Review of Bridge of Spies (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 15 Oct 2015

An espionage thriller it is not, but a crisp, crackling examination of the machinations of espionage it certainly is…

Review of Pan (2015)

By Anders Wright (338) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 07 Oct 2015

Yes, Pan is a fresh take on Peter, and while it introduces us to Neverland and a boy who will eventually never grow up, it does almost nothing…
