Every film we have scored, from 1980s horror to what is in cinemas now.
Sergio Leone's final film, Once Upon a Time in America, reviewed: De Niro, James Woods, the 269-minute cut that became 139, and why the ambition outruns it.
A review of Scott Derrickson's Sinister, praising its Super 8 horror premise and Ethan Hawke's performance while faulting its reliance on jump scares.
Casablanca (1942): Bogart, Bergman, and a nightclub in Vichy Morocco. How the film got made, why the ending still lands, and why it endures.
Orson Welles was 25 when RKO gave him final cut. Citizen Kane, his 1941 mystery about a dying word and a reporter who never solves it, still holds up.
Just Go with It (2011) review: Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston fake a marriage, gross $214M, and win two Razzies. A 117-minute comedy with one joke.
Hotel Transylvania 2 grossed $474 million but raises no stakes, no laughs, no pulse. A review of Sony's 2015 sequel and its thin fang-growing plot.
Disney's 2009 hand-drawn return, The Princess and the Frog, reviewed: a strong cast and beautiful bayou animation, but a script that sags.
The Bourne Legacy review: Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross needs pills, not answers, and Tony Gilroy's 2012 spinoff never earns the handoff from Matt Damon.
MGM spent $2.7M on The Wizard of Oz and didn't profit until 1949. How a money-losing 1939 musical became the most seen film in cinema history.
Disney's 2012 John Carter, directed by Andrew Stanton, runs on a plot it never explains. A review of the epic that never found its reason to care.
Wrath of Man review: Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham reunite in a cold, four-act revenge thriller that's precise but hollow. Score: 5.7/10.
I, Tonya review: Margot Robbie and Oscar winner Allison Janney anchor Craig Gillespie's darkly comic take on Tonya Harding and the 1994 Kerrigan attack.
