A scene from ’The English Teacher’

The English Teacher

By John DeFore | Friday May 17, 2013
Tone-deaf and cringe-worthy, this unfunny comedy might have been wrenching if cast as a drama.

Stories We Tell

By Jake Mulligan | Friday May 17, 2013
We get the distinct feeling Sarah Polley thinks that she’s made a modern "Rashomon." It’s actually just a really good episode of "Maury."

Frances Ha

By Robert Nesti | Friday May 17, 2013
"Frances Ha" is a quirky, coming-of-age story that suffers from comparisons to HBO’s "Girls."

Star Trek Into Darkness

By Kevin Taft | Wednesday May 15, 2013
An unnecessarily gloomy sequel to the fun first installment, this voyage of the starship Enterprise is an okay journey but it just doesn’t have the epic feel it needs to match newcomer Benedict Cumberbatch’s amazing villain.

Face 2 Face

By Bill Biss | Tuesday May 14, 2013
Leave it to Katherine Brooks’ "Face 2 Face" for a loving push to get to the heart of life’s journey. It could be that all Brooks needs is some love and a switch-up of "medicate" to "meditate."

How Sweet It Is

By Kevin Taft | Friday May 10, 2013
An old-fashioned "let’s put on a show" movie with a clever premise doesn’t ultimately break new ground, but it wins you over with its pluck and can-do spirit.

The Iceman

By Brian Shaer | Friday May 10, 2013
Based on the true story of convicted contract killer Richard Kuklinski, Ariel Vromen’s "The Iceman" gives Michael Shannon the opportunity to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, why he is one of the most talented performers working today.

The Great Gatsby

By Kilian Melloy | Friday May 10, 2013
This film is so amped up it could fly right into the fourth, fifth, and sixth dimensions, were they available. As it is, "Gatsby" has to content itself with a magnificent foray into 3D.

Aftershock

By Kevin Taft | Friday May 10, 2013
A pretty entertaining little thriller about a group of friends partying in Chile when an earthquake tears the city apart and leaves them scrambling to stay alive.

Fourplay

By Daniel Scheffler | Friday May 10, 2013
A four part film exploring orgasms from all different perspectives.
