The Possession of Hannah Grace
By EntertainerThe makers of “The Possession of Hannah Grace” clearly intended for it to be dark. After all, it’s about an exorcism that goes horribly wrong, resulting in further mayhem months later at a morgue. But they probably didn’t...Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema is an Essential Blu-ray Release
By EntertainerI’ve struggled with how to start writing about Criterion’s release of “Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema.” How does one begin to wrap their arms around the career of a master? And, make no mistake, this is a career-defining...Never Look Away
By EntertainerIn 1937, the Nazi Party organized a notorious "degenerate art" exhibition, which opened in Munich before traveling through other German cities. Hitler had been railing against modern art for years (the artists were all "incompetents, cheats and...Anna and the Apocalypse

By EntertainerI imagine fans of Pixar's "Inside Out" might like the patronizing but well-meaning animated Japanese fantasy "Mirai." That's not a knock on Pixar fans (well, maybe a small knock) so much as an up-front acknowledgment that both "Inside Out" and...The Mercy
