The 21 Best Things to Do in Miami This Week

Simplified Onscreen, The Glass Castle at Least Boasts Strong Performances

The dictates of Hollywood screenwriting can’t quite constrain the wildness of Jeannette Walls’ family and her best-selling memoir. Despite a tidy resolution, too many scenes whose shapes are immediately familiar from other movies, and an absurd climax that dramatizes the conflict between a daughter and her father through the wheezy…

The Dark Tower Looks Bad, but There’s Actually a Bright Side

Yes, you’ve heard it’s bad. It is. But there are some things to like in The Dark Tower, directed by Nikolaj Arcel, the new adaptation of Stephen King’s epic novel series. Just as in the books, an evil sorcerer named The Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) orders around his henchpeople…

Bill Maher’s Brash Comic Style Undercuts His Political Message

“Don’t shoot the messenger.” That’s the age-old expression reminding us not to blame the bringer of bad news. It isn’t their fault, after all. But what if the messenger is kind of a dick?
