Movie Reviews

A fervent performance from Elisabeth Moss drives writer-director Leigh Whannell’s remarkably absorbing monster movie “The Invisible Man” (Universal).

The rough atmosphere of writer-director Andrew Heckler’s drama “Burden” (101 Studios) makes it anything but a family film.

While Jack London purists will be disappointed, dog lovers everywhere will be delighted by this highly entertaining comedy-drama with solid messages about love, friendship and respect.

The antique doll of the title once again proves to be more terrorist than toy in the lackluster horror flick “Brahms: The Boy II” (STX).

Not that the intended core audience of children is likely to notice, but many of the adults who take them will find that there’s something oddly mechanical and even maladroit about “Sonic the Hedgehog” (Paramount)

Film fans looking for the cinematic equivalent of rich Corinthian leather will be sadly disappointed by the muddled horror flick “Fantasy Island” (Sony).

Aesthetically impressive but morally flawed, “The Photograph” (Universal) is a mature romantic drama leavened with some canny humor.

“Les Miserables” (Amazon) has no connection to Victor Hugo’s classic novel of the same name other than its setting — the rundown Paris suburb of Montfermeil, where the poor still struggle and continue to distrust authority figures.
