Benedict Cumberbatch IS Julian Assange in “The Fifth Estate”
Self-important, pretentious, deeply-flawed. It’s a trifle too “on the nose” casting, yes? Putting the fellow who dazzles playing the troubled Brit TV Sherlock Holmes in the role of Wikileaks Emperor Julian Assange in “The Fifth Estate.” But man, he’s on … Continue reading

Critical Consensus: “Turbo” barely makes it around the track
Dreamworks, like Pixar, wasn’t able to put its best foot forward with a big summer movie this year. The idea cupboards at both dream factories seem pretty bare. “Monsters University” was hyped and promoted to beat the band, but thin … Continue reading

Movie Review: “Girl Most Likely” doesn’t succeed
“Girl Most Likely” is a comedy from Kristen Wiig’s alternate universe career — the career she might have had without “Bridesmaids.” A daft, thin and instantly forgettable farce about a woman of once-great promise who fakes a suicide attempt to … Continue reading

Movie Preview: Could “Twelve Years a Slave” have an Oscar shot?
When you’ve got a name like Steve McQueen, you have our attention. Even if you’re British and black. And when your previous film “Shame” was as critically acclaimed as it was, and “Hunger” stirred things up as well, and you’ve … Continue reading
