Rules Don’t Apply Review
Warren Beatty applies all the wrong rules in this odd Howard Hughes story.
Westworld: Searching for Character at the Heart of the Maze
If HBO's Westworld wants its ambitious plot to matter it needs to give audiences better rounded characters.
Westworld Review: The Best of Two Genres
Westworld has all the action, adventure, and intrigue of the ideal Western film, but that's all a veneer for tourists, under which lies a rich maze of philosophy, science fiction, and genre criticism.
Run All Night Review
