Silence is a long and plodding film with plenty of forced drama from Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as Catholic missionaries returning to Japan to find their mentor (Liam Neeson) after his failed attempt at converting the Japanese to true Christianity. Scorcese pours it on with intense and rich… |

Matthew McConaughey rode the tiger (yet again) in the under-titled Gold, the truthy tale of a hard-living, third-gen miner who never ever gives up hope. This Weinstein Company release revels in peeping at the rise, fall, rise and fall of a quasi-rapacious capitalist kook. From the Left, revenge…

Battle of the Sexes is a terrific movie about a sociological sensation that was as fun as it was important, and it was very, very important. Bobby Riggs vs. Billie Jean King was that big. The movie illuminates not just the sexual politics at play, but also early seventies mass media and a much …
