Ridley Scott’s “Alien Covenant” is a direct sequel to “Prometheus,” but don’t let that worry you. With “Prometheus,” Scott let a weak, confusing script run away with the whole thing, which itself was a prequel to his seminal sci-fi horror film “Alien.” With “Covenant,” he takes hold of the reins.
‘The Circle” is proof the expression of ideas does not equal a movie. Based on the novel by Dave Eggers, who co-wrote the script with director James Ponsoldt, it has something to say but lacks an interesting narrative with which to say it.

"Allied" is a complex movie that embodies the simple charms of cinema -- whirlwind romance, impossibly beautiful movie stars, exotic locales against a backdrop of danger and intrigue, and gun battles. Director Robert Zemeckis goes forward by going backward into another era of filmmaking.
The newest animated installment by Disney and director Ron Clements, “Moana,” gives viewers a fresh take on an untapped source of imagination — ancient Polynesia.
“The Edge of Seventeen” is a sincere, moving and darkly funny telling of what it’s like to survive high school when you don’t fit in.
The best science fiction films aren’t about their fantastic ideas, but the way they explore human nature. “Arrival,” a movie about a linguist tasked with understanding the language of alien visitors, uses sci-fi ideas to explore the human experience in deep, lovely ways.
Director Scott Derrickson’s newest superhero flick, “Doctor Strange,” takes you down a mind-bending journey of action and illusion.
Early in “The Accountant”, the main character, Christian Wolff, is shown diligently piecing a puzzle together. The scene serves as an apt metaphor for the film.
Movies do their best to make suburbia, the typical setting of the American dream, look mundane. But the suburbs, in America or anywhere else, can’t possibly be as mundane as “Keeping Up with the Joneses,” a Hollywood misfire of rare incompetence. I’d call it boilerplate, but that would be mi…
Much like the peculiar characters that populate it, “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” doesn’t quite have a place in the world.
Peter Berg’s “Deepwater Horizon” takes the savage intensity of a war movie and applies it to an environmental disaster. Telling the story of the hours surrounding the start of 2010’s BP oil spill, the film gives the viewer a you-are-there look at hell on earth, and utilizes genuinely stunnin…

On the surface, “Kubo and the Two Strings” is a wonderful film.
From the director of “Old School” and “The Hangover” comes a moral parable about ... well, everything and nothing. It’s about war as a business, friendship, U.S. military intervention and ambition. The only thing it’s really about, though, is director/co-writer Todd Phillips’ desire to be Ma…
