It’s no surprise Fuqua didn’t return — no one else should have either.

Disney delivers another Pixar-level winner. One of the most perfect family films since 'Inside Out.'

Tarantino goes Agatha Christie with spectacular results.

PG-13
★★★★★ Concussion
Hard-hitting and surprisingly scientific, it may have been watered down by the powers that be, and still finds time to be both entertaining and even sensitive.

★★½★★ In the Heart of the Sea
Nowhere near as exciting as it thinks it is, Howard delivers one of the year's most boring films, period.

While thematically simplistic by Pixar standards, it manages to overcome years of production issues and still winds up as another hilarious and touching Pixar outing.

★★★★★ Creed
Does the fact that I finally liked 'Creed' make this the best 'Rocky' film ever? A ticket is worth buying to find out.

Fantastic performances anchor an almost excessive runtime.
