Run far, far away from the “bloated, cheesy, lifeless, boring waste of two hours and $140 million” that is Gods of Egypt, and into the comforting darkness of a cinema to take in one of these critic-approved picks.

NEW RELEASES
1. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
“WTF is well-cast, is what I’m saying, which is key for a film that seems unable to decide if it is a wacky fish-out-of-water comedy, or a serious tale of war, or an unlikely romance, or, IDK, an episode of This American Life? SURE. It’s uneven. But what’s utterly convincing is that somehow, this good-but-not-great movie has accurately captured that particular moment when a reporter discovers the ineffable joy of chasing a high-stakes story for the first time.” – Megan Burbank
2. Zootopia
“Zootopia may ostensibly be an animated buddy cop flick with a few winks to Chinatown, but it’s also chock full of smart, incisive observations on race and gender, as well as front-loaded with tons of laughs and heart. Disney is doing better.” – Wm. Steven Humphrey
