Hope Davis

Asteroid City Review

Asteroid City sees Wes Anderson at his most hopeful and political, tackling trauma, quarantine, and the mysteries of outer space. It's a welcome pivot.

Real Steel Review

It might seem hard to believe that the guy who made the remakes of Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther got something incredibly right, but he honestly knocks his latest film, Real Steel, out of the park. Shawn Levy gets right what Michael Bay has gotten wrong over the course of three straight Transformers films. Real Steel is a gratifying and visually stylish blend of high end special effects and a lowbrow, meat-headed story. Most importantly, Levy and his team of writers keep things simple by applying the standard sports movie template to a film about robots beating the snot out of each other.
