Carol (2015) 94% A EDIT “The experience of watching "Carol" is like being pulled into a different place, real and not real, like the best movies, like being in love.” – Oregonian Dec 24, 2015 Full Review The Hateful Eight (2015) 74% C EDIT “It just doesn't work. The pacing is off, there's no tension, the connections don't stick, all that talk leads to a lot of bloody action but no payoffs since the talk meant nothing and the characters that were saying it weren't memorable.” – Oregonian Dec 23, 2015 Full Review The Big Short (2015) 89% A- EDIT “A movie about the financial crisis that tells the truth in a most entertaining way.” – Oregonian Dec 22, 2015 Full Review Youth (2015) 72% B EDIT “I liked it, once I gave in to its charms and chose to ignore its shortcomings.” – Oregonian Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Hitchcock/Truffaut (2015) 96% A- EDIT “The documentary is really just an extension of the book, with clips from the movies and commentary by the directors. That's more than enough, although I would have liked a little more on Truffaut's life and career.” – Oregonian Dec 18, 2015 Full Review The Danish Girl (2015) 66% B- EDIT “Redmayne and Vikander give powerhouse performances in a languid adaptation of Ebershoff's novel.” – Oregonian Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) 93% B EDIT “The formula, more than the Force, was with Abrams. He was wise enough not to mess with it.” – Oregonian Dec 16, 2015 Full Review In the Heart of the Sea (2015) 42% B- EDIT “There's all sorts of splashing and sloshing and spearing and shouting of ultra-polite commands -- everyone, no matter how much they hate each other, unfailingly uses the honorific "Mister" -- but nothing clicks.” – Oregonian Dec 9, 2015 Full Review All Things Must Pass (2015) 94% B EDIT “Hanks found an amiable raconteur in Solomon, now 90 but sharp and focused on the business that was his life. A collection of Solomon's confidants sing his praises and get misty about how much fun they had in the old days.” – Oregonian Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Chi-Raq (2015) 82% B EDIT “Those who dismiss Lee as a strident polemicist should take another look: "Chi-Raq" makes its points with a sharp wit and downright goofy humor.” – Oregonian Dec 3, 2015 Full Review The Good Dinosaur (2015) 76% B EDIT “It's Pixar Lite, acceptable family entertainment that's nowhere near the quality of "Inside Out" or "The Incredibles."” – Oregonian Nov 25, 2015 Full Review Legend (2015) 60% C EDIT “Hardy plays two roles and knocks himself out.” – Oregonian Nov 24, 2015 Full Review Creed (2015) 95% B+ EDIT “It's surprising proof that iconic franchises that started in the 1970s can be revived in all the right ways. "Star Wars" fans, take note.” – Oregonian Nov 24, 2015 Full Review Trumbo (2015) 74% B- EDIT “Cranston seizes a starring role as blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo.” – Oregonian Nov 19, 2015 Full Review Brooklyn (2015) 97% B+ EDIT “Ronan is a fresh new star whose performance as an Irish immigrant in the 1950s is one of the best of the year.” – Oregonian Nov 19, 2015 Full Review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 (2015) 70% C EDIT “"The Hunger Games" is over. Bring on "Star Wars."” – Oregonian Nov 18, 2015 Full Review My All American (2015) 30% D EDIT “Steinmark's life doesn't give a filmmaker much to work with, and writer-director Angelo Pizzo makes the least of it.” – Oregonian Nov 13, 2015 Full Review The 33 (2015) 49% C+ EDIT “What happened in Chile really was a triumph of the human spirit, as cliched as it is to write that sentence. The miners deserved a better movie, but that's not how it works.” – Oregonian Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Spotlight (2015) 97% A EDIT “A special experience, a movie that matters.” – Oregonian Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Spectre (2015) 63% B- EDIT “It's "Thunderball" without the light touch and the boring underwater scenes. Not bad, no need to wake Roger Moore from his mid-morning nap and bring him out of retirement, but not special.” – Oregonian Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Suffragette (2015) 73% B- EDIT “Gavron is blessed with a talented cast that's fully invested in the project. Duff and Carter transform what could be cliched roles while Gleeson and Whishaw make the men more than one-dimensional villians.” – Oregonian Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Love (2015) 42% C- EDIT “A 3-D, sexually explicit movie filmed in France by a provocative director using inexperienced actors -- what could go wrong?” – Oregonian Nov 4, 2015 Full Review Truth (2015) 64% C+ EDIT “A journalism movie draws the wrong conclusions about a famous journalism scandal.” – Oregonian Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Rock the Kasbah (2015) 7% D EDIT “Bill Murray's making broad, sloppy comedies again. That sounds like great news for fans who grew up on "Meatballs" and "Stripes." It's not.” – Oregonian Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon (2015) 87% B EDIT “A documentary about the National Lampoon does its best to capture the glory days.” – Oregonian Oct 16, 2015 Full Review
