Less the genre mishmash you’d expect and more justJane Austenwith the undead in the background,Pride and Prejudice and Zombiesis a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the romantic classic – well, as faithful as an adaptation can be with heads intermittently being lopped off. The film spends far more time on the romantic back-and-forth-and-back-and-forth of the Bennets and their various suitors than on the horror of zombies, biting and decapitation.

Elba was named Best Supporting Actor for his terrific work inBeasts of No Nation, and he also took home Best Actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie forLuther....

Deep ImpactandArmageddon.Mirror MirrorandSnow White and the Huntsman.Olympus Has FallenandWhite House Down. These are the famous “twin films” of our time, and now we have a “twin docuseries,” as Starz has released a trailer forSeduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult, which tackles the same group of people as HBO’sThe Vow. WhileArmageddonandSnow White and the Huntsmanproved much more successful than their earlier counterparts, I fear thatThe Vowsimply beatSeducedto the punch and it’s going to cost the new show – though it does have certain things working in its advantage....

I absolutely lovedShazam!. DirectorDavid F. Sandberghas crafted something special that both comic book movie fans and audiences of all ages will absolutely love. Not only is the film super fun, extremely funny and a big serving of unbridled wish fulfillment, Sandberg grounds the story around family and it’s unlike anything DC has done before.Shazam!is absolutely worth seeing in a theater when it opens April 5th. A few months ago, way before I’d seenShazam!...

Steve Jobsis a locomotive.Danny Boyle’s biopic of the former Apple CEO is crisply directed, wonderfully acted, and beautifully edited.Aaron Sorkin’s script is breathless, witty, urbane, but also exhausting and painfully circular. It spans 15 years, and three of Jobs' different product launches. This train makes you feel like it’s covered a lot of ground, but by the end you realized we’ve really only traveled in circles, and stopped at the same spots multiple times....
