Practical Magic 2 is the perfect kind of film with which to end the summer-movie season, Dan Webster says.

Ross McElwee’s documentaries are quirky, stream-of-consciousness considerations of his own life and the world around him. In Remake, now on VOD, he stitches together archival footage to process the death of his son, and Nathan Weinbender says it’s a wounding, complicated and deeply moving film.

A remastered re-release of the Japanese animated feature “Akira” shows just how long societal trauma can last, Dan Webster says.

Hope is the most expensive Korean film ever made, a blockbuster about a small town, an alien invasion and lots of chases. It has already been a divisive movie, and Nathan Weinbender says it’s a kooky, wildly ambitious and noticeably flawed epic.

Coyote vs. Acme, which almost didn’t get released because of studio meddling, is finally in theaters. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a bright, entertaining “Roger Rabbit”-style slapstick comedy.

Coyote vs. Acme is a testament to the world of animated film that Chuck Jones helped create, Dan Webster says.

In Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, two women are pulled into the intoxicating, problematic world of ’80s slasher movies. Nathan Weinbender says its exploration of fear and desire is stronger than its dissection of horror tropes.

As the biopic Tony shows, movie attempts to capture the character of a real person all too often fall flat, Dan Webster says.

The End of Oak Street is a standard family-in-crisis movie with a fantastical dystopian conceit, Dan Webster says.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day proves that a superhero movie can have a heart at its center, Dan Webster says.
