The Wrong Girls

If anything is proven by this new and rare female-led stoner movie, it is that there is always a new generation of marijuana enthusiasts willing to try to earn our laughter and complicity at the expense of their addiction.

I Want Your Sex

Olivia Wilde creates a kind of sexy monster who may well become one of the most memorable characters you see this year.

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass

This is The Wizard of Oz, only with transactional sex, gangsters, Hollywood misfits, countless pop culture references, and surprise celebrity cameos.

The Invite

Director Olivia Wilde’s greatest asset is the chemistry among her quartet of performers. It is also worth remembering how committed and versatile Wilde can be as an actress.

I Love Boosters

It is satirical absurdism cranked up to at least 15, introducing more and more genre-bending gimmicks per scene yet never winking once as the ridiculousness piles up.

Ella McCay

James L. Brooks’s new film feels like it was written by an extraterrestrial being who has consumed too much media from the 1990s and 2000s and attempts to re-create how the human species behaves.

Rental Family

An earnest, though innocuous, feel-good movie for the armchair traveler.

Bunny

If you are a fan of gritty 1990s indie film and have a taste for screwball comedy and eccentric Coen-esque characters, then Bunny is for you.

Splitsville

Essentially a portrait of male insecurity, with two men clueless about how to handle the women in their lives.
