Central Intelligence
Smart title for a stupid comedy that surprises only by being less awful then you expect. It’s bad, but not painfully so — and in a bummer summer like this one that’s high praise. The long and short of Central Intelligence is that the joke is all in the central…

In 2007, director Richard Kelly released a follow-up to his metaphysical head-scratcher/late-bloomer cult classic Donnie Darko — a paranoid satire titled Southland Tales that was so weird and staggeringly dense that it made his previous film look like a sitcom. The plot, if you can call it that, involved an energy…

Watch a Young Barack Obama Woo Michelle in ‘Southside With You’ Trailer
First dates are simply the worst, a nightmare of polite small-talk about siblings and hometowns, held-in flatulence and desperate hopes that the person eating dinner across the table isn’t a serial killer. Not so for Barack and Michelle Obama, or at least, not according to the Sundance breakout Southside With…

Bill Murray on ‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot: ‘I Feel Like a Stepfather to It’
