The long-percolatingSneaky Petedebuted as part of Amazon’s pilot season in August of 2015, and after proving popular with Prime viewers in the platform’s voting system, gained itself a full series order.

Never has the indefinite article done such heavy lifting since the “A” inSolo: A Star Wars Story.Solois technically aStar Warsmovie, but it’s one that has set pieces in place of a personality. It’s a film whose base level is “fine”. Despite some unique cinematography fromBradford Young,Ron Howard’s direction is staid, stolid, and completely without personality, which is a problem when your movie is the story of a young rogue like Han Solo....

I will give Focus Features this:the trailerforThe Book of Henryis not misleading. When I first saw it, I couldn’t believe that was the movie. How was a movie about a precocious, 11-year-old who’s helping to raise his little brother and his immature mom also a film about the mom trying to assassinate their next-door neighbor because he’s molesting his stepdaughter? Those are two completely different movies. It’s like blending Capri Sun with absinthe....

There’s no doubt thatPeter Jackson’sThe Lord of the Ringstrilogy did some marvelous things for Middle-earth. PropellingJ.R.R. Tolkien’s original material into the spotlight and adapting it earnestly was something that most Hollywood studios didn’t think was possible. Yet, Jackson proved that audiences were as invested in Tolkien’s writings as he was. While the filmmaker has been critiqued throughout the years for certainchanges made from the original books(and, in some cases, rightfully so), there is one change that has actively redefined the titular Lord of the Rings in the eyes of many but doesn’t quite line up with what Tolkien had in mind....

Indeed, Sundance served as the soft launching pad for future Best Picture nominees likeLittle Miss Sunshineand this year’sBrooklyn, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility for one or more of this year’s movies to go on to Oscar glory....
