The chain of terrible sequels has been broken.

Film: Rotten Tomatoes Gets Something Right!
Mustang actually deserves its 97% rating. Go and see this coming-of-age masterpiece now.
Film: Hail, Caesar!
The Cohen Brothers’ latest offering is one of their best yet, with a cast of characters more endearing than watching your grandparents try to use the internet.
Film: Anomalisa
Go and see this film. It’s clever and funny and sad, and even though it was made on a shoestring budget, it’s ten times more impressive than a pair of new Yeezys.
Film: Dirty Grandpa & 7 De Niro Classics If He Made Them Today
Is Robert De Niro the new Leslie Nielsen? Surely you can’t be serious. I am, and don’t call me Shirley. I can totally hear De Niro saying that line.
Film: RAMS
We’ve seen ‘em at their best in Babe, talking cheek with a cute pig, but rarely have we seen sheep take on greater stints of drama like this.
Film: Nowhere Line: Voices from Manus Island
The Australian government has spent $1.2 billion a year detaining around 1,700 asylum seekers in offshore processing centres. None have settled in Australia. What is wrong with this picture?
Film: Youth
Sure, there are some self-indulgent moments in the film, and at times it feels like Sorrentino is trying to outdo every ‘art-house’ film that’s ever been made, but at the core of Youth is something so poignant it stays with you long after the credits role.
Film: Point Break
Is the new Point Break worth all the hype?
Film: Boy and the World
Boy and the World is an unmistakable piece of wonderment, where boundaries are not acknowledged and limits are nowhere to be found.
Film: Spectre
Apart from the fact the octopus only has seven tentacles, making it a septopus, several things really bugged me about Spectrepussy on Her Majesty’s Secret Goldmember.
Film: James White
When a memoir is good, it’s like reading someone’s journal, and discovering the story inside to be a masterpiece. It’s bad when someone’s like, “Behold my opus,” and it’s a journal entry about being sad.
Film: ITALIANS DO IT BETTER
Ross Giardina is a cinematographer. He shoots dark, brooding projects that speak without words and embrace you without arms.
Film: Gaspar Noé’s Love
Love is a sprawling memory film about the trials and tribulations of a beautiful young couple in Paris, and it’s almost completely comprised of full on, unsimulated sex in 3D.
Film: Beasts of No Nation
This film is not easy to watch, but its images are unforgettable. Fukunaga made a movie that will be talked about for a long time. See it now, and see it in the theater.
