Atlas tries to be a treacherous fight for survival and a perceptive social commentary on the dangers of artificial intelligence. But it succeeds at neither because the writing is so vapid, uninteresting, and immature.

Oxygen masks, internal organs, and bloody hospital gloves make Birth/Rebirth feel like a modern mix of Frankenstein (1931 and 1994) and Flatliners (1990), pushing the boundaries of life and death into unknown spooky territory.

Adagio is a patient neo-noir film without the expected gun fights, car chases, or mysterious women. This film is too thoughtful and too quiet for that, because it spends its time creating four human portraits of different men each with cloudy criminal pasts.

Challengers is an interesting study of relationships with an arresting soundtrack of thumping, techno, dance music. Like a trend forecaster at a fashion magazine might say, Challengers is a film that feels like now.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is filled with people who are not trying hard enough at all to give viewers something new, personal, or interesting.

Don't let the previews fool you. This film is not an action-packed adventure. Civil War works to be a more human story by showing the lengths reporters and photojournalists go to simply to do their job capturing the realities of war.

I get the feeling this film was never about telling a unique or articulate story. Even from the beginning concept of doing this remake, it was probably all about virile men showing off how to throw a good punch.

Shirley slips into the easy pitfalls of many biopics and history adaptations: it paints its subject as too much of a righteous saint/political figure and not enough as a human one.

I have to say Cabrini is not a disaster. The production design, costumes, editing, and cinematography, while very plain, all look professional and consistent. And it's nice to see something in movie theaters so proudly optimistic and working to spread compassion.

Casey gives us his take on this year's Oscars ceremony takes a look at the big winners of the night.
