Coco is a gorgeous movie, bursting with color and heart and laughs and probably a few tears. It’s magical, moving, and memorable. Just a wonderful film.

Wonder is a surprisingly strong film that left me feeling thankful, blessed, and joyful when I left the theater, and that’s a pretty good way to feel going into the holiday season.

It’s a decidedly juvenile weekend for new releases at local theaters

Where Christie’s novel is able to take time to develop each of the suspects, the film doesn’t fair as well. That said, it’s fun and beautifully shot.

It’s everything you could want in a big-budget, super-hero spectacle that features Led Zeppelin’s oh so appropriate Immigrant Song as a key fixture in the score because, of course, it had to.

Parker’s Anchor is a film you might not have heard of, but it was filmed and is set in and around Fayetteville by a production company with ties to the Northwest Arkansas area.

This adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 novel is a well-crafted, character-driven film that does justice to the source material and is at times brutally scary.

Without a new film to review, let’s take a look at some of the more anticipated films that will be opening this month in theaters.

While not his most sophisticated work, Soderbergh crafts an entertaining movie that hits most of its marks. The film is relatively simple for a heist movie, but that’s to its credit.

This film is not to be missed if you enjoy thrillers like Silence of the Lambs or Insomnia.

Coming out of Bigelow’s film, I felt like my soul had been pistol-whipped, experiencing shame for the atrocities committed simply because of a difference in skin tone.

It isn’t so much what is left out from the books, or really what was left in. The issue is that Arcel’s tepid and unimaginative direction left me not caring one way or the other.

Dunkirk is a stunningly shot movie that somehow makes the outcome of war look horrifically beautiful.
