Not a sequel to Knives Out, thank you God, but a bracing espionage adventure that flies in direct opposition to the strains of comic book calamities and celebrity impersonations currently curdling multiplex arteries. We open in a roomful of heavyweights — Laurence Fishburne, Jonathan Pryce, Thandiwe Newton, and Chris Pine …
Unpalatable promo for California wines, more broadly a paean to good old American know-how and a chance, at the same time, to stick it to the French, the British, the Old World. A competitive wine tasting in the Bicentennial year of 1976, boiled down as “a bunch of hicks taking …
Sgt. James Harper (Chris Pine, also producing) is a Special Forces agent honorably discharged without benefits because his blood work came back “filthy” with pain-killing drugs. Back home, his wife (Gillian Armstrong) and son barely recognize the man seated at the kitchen table while his actions — who repairs a …
Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational …

Based on a role-playing game that people used to openly mock, a thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake a heist to retrieve a lost relic. However, the Dungeon decrees that things must go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and …

A straight-up Boys’ Own adventure yarn, set sincerely and squarely in early ’50s New England but gussied up with plenty of 21st-century StormWave CGI. A monster winter storm causes not one but two oil tankers to split in half off the coast, and so many people are busy attending to …

Remarkable: a sequel that actually scales down from its predecessor. The high concept — workers of the world, kill your boss! — dispensed with, our working class heroes Nick, Kurt, and Dale (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day, clearly enjoying themselves and each other) can relax and get down …
Steven Sondheim's musical theater meditation on the complication, compromise, and carnality that adulthood brings to the fairy-tale world of children's fairy tales, gently Disneyfied for younger audiences eager to sing along. (Don't fret when Johnny Depp's leering Big Bad Wolf lifts his leg to block Little Red Riding Hood's progress; …
Disappointing, but only because it manages to raise hopes in the first place. Journeyman director Kenneth Branagh (Henry V, Thor) does his level best to give us a small-scale story with large-scale consequences — you know, characters we care about, a situation of some importance, and a few gadgets and …
