The wild and furry landscape of Zootopia, Disney's new self-contained world of talking animals, is a remarkable place.

Humans have an easier time remembering the first and last of things than we do the middles. The ends bulge out in our minds, becoming signifiers of the whole. So for someone raised in the United States, when you're asked to recall the men we've sent to the moon, your ...

In one of those funny quirks of the film business, it's been 20 years since the Sutherland boys have appeared in a movie together — and they've never done it as leads. With nearly 300 combined screen credits, you'd think they would have overlapped more than that without even realizing ...

Against a backdrop of Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, a running crawl decrees the film has been made on behalf of the most influential artists of the past several centuries, everyone from Emily Dickinson to ...

The pleasant enough romantic drama Tumbledown follows two writers in Maine, a setting that here might as well be the Great American Dream for creative introverts. There's a wood-paneled cabin, lush wilderness, dogs at the beckon, and a bookstore whose owner is also the local newspaper publisher. On paper (ha), ...

In 2014's Clouds of Sils Maria, Chloë Grace Moretz plays a talented young tabloid magnet picked to star in a revival of a classy play alongside Juliette Binoche's weathered veteran actress.

For decades, a certain stripe of armchair researcher has insisted that we faked the Moon landing.

Maybe Buzz just isn't ...

In an early scene in the deeply unsettling Lamb, protagonist Daniel Lamb phones a co-worker he's been having an affair with. "My wife is downstairs," he whispers. Not true—he's calling from a motel, where his wife has presumably banished him. "I'm lying here naked," he then purrs. Not true, either. ...

What's it like to be at the same house party as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler? Wouldn't it be fun to catch the 21st-century masters of the female comic voice in the act of rattling off a few drunk one-liners, maybe some goofy dance moves, as they riff an entire ...

In the last few years, the so-called "faith-based" film industry has expanded by Miracle-Gro leaps and bounds.
