Producer Margot Robbie, director Craig Gillespie ("Million Dollar Arm" 2014), and screenwriter Steven Rogers have put together a dark comedy-drama film about skater Tony Harding called "I, Tonya."

"The Wizard of Lies" is a riveting biopic about businessman Bernard Madoff's ponzi scheme where he bilked investors out of some $65 billion dollars. This HBO film has solid direction by Barry Levinson ("Rain Man" 1988) and a high quality teleplay by Levinson, Sam Baum, and John [..]

"Blade Runner 2049" is, to put it bluntly, boring as heck. This sequel to 1982's "Blade Runner" suffers from a slow-moving storyline that makes this nearly two-and-a-half hour movie seem to last forever. We have Denis Villeneuve to thank for this; he is a very cerebral [..]

"The Greatest Showman" is a very entertaining salute to Phineas Taylor Barnum and his Barnum and Bailey Circus, which was in business from 1871 to 2017. The multi-talented Hugh Jackman took over the title role in an exceptional way, acting, singing, and dancing, even as the storyline [..]

Director Kenneth Branagh ("Thor" 2011) has a fresh new version of Agatha Christie's 1934 novel "Murder on the Orient Express."

"Wind River" is an interesting crime drama about a murder investigation on an Indian reservation in Wyoming.

[..]

"Kill Switch" is a Dutch science fiction movie about a power company that builds a massive tower able to tap into unlimited energy. Unfortunately, it is discovered that the tower endangers people in a parallel universe. Don't you hate when that happens? Director [..]

Kevin Sorbo ("Hercules" on TV, 1995-1999) plays an atheist who goes through a near death experience in a car crash and converts to Christianity in "Let There Be Light." Besides turning in a heartfelt and believable performance in the lead role, Sorbo also made his directorial debut. [..]

The kidnapping of John Paul Getty III in 1973 is the subject of "All the Money in the World" from producer-director Ridley Scott ("Alien" 1979). This project ran into big problems when, one month before its scheduled release in November, 2107, Scott fired star Kevin Spacey due [..]
