Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans
This intimate documentary is a study in how not to make a vanity movie
Movies
Beyond the Reach
Vacuous, glacially paced; a wholly unsatisfying cat and mouse game
Macbeth
Stunning and unforgettable, the Bard would be glad to add this to his filmography
Backtrack
Derivative but watchable, solid performance by Adrien Brody
Hail, Caesar!
An affectionate, star-studded satire of postwar Golden-Age Hollywood by the Coen brothers
I Am a Hero
Managing to make a zombie movie touching, funny, emotional, and tense is no small feat, but Sato pulls it off
Captain America: Civil War
Not particularly entertaining, but at least its dramatically coherent
The Sea of Trees
Fake, forced and dreary suicide drama that will bore you to death
The Revenant
Most excellent storytelling
Zootopia
A hugely entertaining, Pixar-level effort from Disney Animation
The 5th Wave
The first half hour of this dystopian alien-invasion tale goes well, but it soon devolves into a hokey mess
Cop Car
Kevin Bacon, in a silly moustache, exercises his darkly comic side as the bent but not-too-smart sheriff
