Director Damien Chazelle wrote the screenplay to “The Last Exorcism Part II” (2013), and brings his demonic expertise to this compact gem of perfection.

“Into the Woods” belongs out of the theater

By Andrew Kingsley | January 25, 2015

The new Disney films are like bottled water — they repackage something classic, give it all these bells and whistles and come up with something no better than the original. We shell out our money nonetheless, consuming this trivial drivel as if we are expecting something new.

By Andrea Nease | January 19, 2015
