Pee-wee's Big Holiday (2016) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “It floats along, offering goofy gags and relentlessly silly jokes that will have you LOLing - sometimes in spite of yourself.” – New York Daily News Mar 18, 2016 Full Review Zootopia (2016) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Right there with the likes of "Up" and "Inside Out," "Zootopia" is so well done I forgot it was animated.” – New York Daily News Mar 2, 2016 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) 87% 2/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, looks aren't everything. The plot is plodding and predictable.” – New York Daily News Jan 28, 2016 Full Review Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015) 18% 3/5 EDIT “Let's just get it out of the way right now: Reader, I liked it.” – New York Daily News Dec 16, 2015 Full Review The Peanuts Movie (2015) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Theirs is a world where kids can't wait to go outside and play on a snow day, and there aren't any parents policing the park for hurt feelings and peanut butter. And it's a lo-fi delight.” – New York Daily News Nov 4, 2015 Full Review Cooties (2014) 44% 2/5 EDIT “Despite the funny premise, "Cooties" doesn't live up to its potential.” – New York Daily News Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) 47% 3/5 EDIT “Yes, these "Trials" go on too long. But they're never dull, and the kids are always good company.” – New York Daily News Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Chloe & Theo (2015) 6% 1/5 EDIT “This tale of an Inuit coming to New York City to warn about the perils of climate change is like a 1970s PSA, complete with stock, one-note characters and message-y dialogue.” – New York Daily News Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Dirty Weekend (2015) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The only thing more boring than this comedy about two colleagues on a layover in Albuquerque might be an actual layover in Albuquerque.” – New York Daily News Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Zipper (2015) 20% 2/5 EDIT “On all counts, "Zipper" comes up short.” – New York Daily News Aug 26, 2015 Full Review Sinister 2 (2015) 14% 1/5 EDIT “Baghuul ... looks like the lead singer in a Norwegian forest metal band.” – New York Daily News Aug 19, 2015 Full Review Grandma (2015) 92% 3/5 EDIT “The light-handed pacing belies all that writer-director Paul Weitz packs in: abortion, politics, aging, health care, sexuality, economics and the radical notion that a woman can be the subject of her own life.” – New York Daily News Aug 19, 2015 Full Review Return to Sender (2015) 14% 1/5 EDIT “Pike phones in a reprise of her Oscar-nominated "Gone Girl" performance, complete with brittle perfection and a loose screw.” – New York Daily News Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Ten Thousand Saints (2015) 58% 2/5 EDIT “The cast all do well with banal material that's beneath them, especially Emily Watson, as Eliza's mom, and Hawke, who's everyone's dope-smoking, curfew-less fantasy friend-Dad.” – New York Daily News Aug 12, 2015 Full Review People, Places, Things (2015) 77% 4/5 EDIT “This is boilerplate rom-com fare with few plot surprises. But thanks to witty dialogue, strong performances and sure-handed direction, the movie's also smart, hilarious and an absolute delight.” – New York Daily News Aug 12, 2015 Full Review The Gift (2015) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Edgerton seems to have pulled "The Gift" right out of a time capsule from 1992.” – New York Daily News Aug 7, 2015 Full Review Call Me Lucky (2015) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Angry, quixotic, tragic, heroic - Crimmins' life is stunning. Catch this portrait and you can definitely call yourself lucky.” – New York Daily News Aug 5, 2015 Full Review Jenny's Wedding (2015) 20% 1/5 EDIT “It all feels outdated, simplistic and insulting to both the characters and the audience.” – New York Daily News Jul 29, 2015 Full Review The Kindergarten Teacher (2014) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Slightly mesmerizing performances from Larry and young Shnaidman just manage to sustain interest in this quiet story. Even if it's going nowhere.” – New York Daily News Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Extinction (2015) 18% 2/5 EDIT “The film's core problems: too little zombie and too much plot.” – New York Daily News Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Frank the Bastard (2013) 11% 2/5 EDIT “Why doesn't Wendy Vanden Heuvel do more film? As Clair's cranky cousin Alice, she does more acting with a smirk and a turtleneck than the rest of the cast combined.” – New York Daily News Jul 22, 2015 Full Review Samba (2014) 61% 4/5 EDIT “There are just a few too many scenes, and they go on a tick too long. But, well, you could just as easily call that breathing room and fine direction.” – New York Daily News Jul 22, 2015 Full Review Ardor (2014) 39% 2/5 EDIT “Writer-director Pablo Fendrik may well have been shooting here for "Pale Rider." But "Ardor" is more like pale imitation.” – New York Daily News Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Lila & Eve (2015) 41% 3/5 EDIT “What is vital is Davis' wrenching performance as a mother who's done everything right, but remains powerless to keep her children safe. Then there's Lopez, dialing up slow-burning weariness into a crackling heat, and reminding you why you like her.” – New York Daily News Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Mad Women (2015) 0% 0/5 EDIT “It's a good thing writer-director Jeff Lipsky is a film distributor in real life. He's his own best hope for getting this dreck out there.” – New York Daily News Jul 9, 2015 Full Review
