Michael Shannon nails it again. This time he’s a boogey man in the housing crisis of 2008.

Purported sci-fi thriller delivers very few thrills. Decent idea, not very good execution. Very slightly resembles Total Recall, minus the fun.
An ingenious structure and Aaron Sorkin’s typically sharp dialogue elevate this exploration of the Apple icon beyond the standard biopic.
A look inside Swara, the custom where female children are given to older men to pay a debt, is scary, bizarre, and surprisingly uplifting.
Every hero needs an origin story. Here’s one for the boy who wouldn’t grow up.
A lovely valentine to NYC with a thrilling final act.
"The French Connection" is revisited from the French point of view. It falls short of its predecessor, but it’s still a pretty nice piece of work.
If you enjoyed Andy Weir’s exceedingly detailed novel, you’ll certainly appreciate seeing it brought to the screen in all its geek glory. It’s like science porn.
"The Intern" is very much a Nancy Meyers film, for better or for worse, but it is exceedingly charming.
Documentary about the making of a film that stars physically handicapped people is sweet and heartwarming.
