Earl Brown, Kevin Rankin, Brian Van Holt, Cliff DeYoung, Charles Baker, Cathryn de Prumn. Running Time: 115 min. 9733;★★★ (out of ★★★★).

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Starring: John Cusack, Paul Dano, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Giamatti, Jake Abel, Bill Camp, Brett Davern, Kenny Wormald, Graham Rogers, Erin Darke. Running Time: 121 min. 9733;★★★ (out of ★★★★).

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Men, Women and Children. Running Time: 119 min. 9733;★★ (out of ...Throughou...

Simmons, Dennis Haysbert, Olivia Crocicchia, Elena Kampouris, Travis Tope, Emma Thompson (voice). Running Time: 119 min. 9733;★★ (out of ★★★★). Throughout the 1970's, the ABC network aired The After School Special,. The result would sort of strangely resemble Jason Reitman's Men, Women and Children. Promise, but it mostly works. For be...

Running Time: 125 min. 9733;★ ½ (out of ★★★★). The most shocking thing about the hotly anticipated film adaptation of E.L. James' best selling cultural phenomenon Fifty Shades of Grey. Is how shocking it isn't. But is that even really a surprise? Their plan apparently worked. The line between dark and mysterious and creepy and weird is ...

Running Time: 123 min. 9733;★★ (out of ★★★★). What about the brain? That's the first question Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) asks the doctor who diagnoses him with ALS in James Marsh's biographical romance, The Theory of Everything. Than anyone else possibly could. The whole thing does feel broadly accurate in the sense that Marsh gen...

Running Time: 124 min. 9733;★★ ½ (out of ★★★★). It always seemed the one lost opportunity in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. Director Colin Trevorrow delivers the type of ridiculously fun, pulse-pounding Spielberg-era thrill ride that even Spielberg himself can't seem to make anymore, or at least has chosen to m...

JEREMY THE CRITIC: February 2015
http://jeremythecritic.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. Burning Questions From The 2015 Oscars. Well, here we go again. Let's get on with it. My reaction to the show, in question form. Didn't the stage setup actually look kind of cool this year with all the Oscar statues? Were you worried some of them might attack? NPH didn't waste any time with his "best and whitest" joke did he? Tough room, huh? Does Oprah's mere presence guarantee the Oscar host will be in for a rough night? Shouldn't we ask David Letterman? Could Oprah look any ...

Wednesday, July 22, 2015.

Running Time: 106 min. 9733;★★ (out of ★★★★). Wondering if Diamond had a crisis similar to the title character to cause that change in course. Probably not, even if the aging rocker Al Pacino plays seems much closer in style to Diamond than the actual inspiration, folk singer Steve Tilston. In hi...
