This alien being, which helpfully calls itself Venom, is a fairly terrifying creation: a many-fanged, slobbery, snake-tongued monster that loves to eat people’s heads

Bad Times is a much better time in its mysterious middle, which tingles with darkly comic possibility, than in its final 40 minutes, when Goddard’s cards are on the table

Its centerpiece is a breathless break-in at the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City, as two 30ish suburbanites, played by Gael Garcia Bernal and Leonardo Ortizgris, attempt to loot artifacts from what is known as the Mayan room

The filmmakers capture Honnold’s 2016 and 2017 attempts to complete the first “free solo” climb of these granite cliffs, and the suspense is thrilling, agonizing, perhaps indecent

Double-stuffed with kill squads, killer ’80s couture, and mood-killing howlers, Fernando Leon de Aranoa’s Loving Pablo is more a greatest hits than a story, the kind of radically compressed life-of-a-legend movie where everything happens in a giddy, ridiculous gush

Its leads, feminist writer Rachel (Kathryn Hahn) and Richard (Paul Giamatti), a one-time wunderkind of no-budget theatrical productions, find themselves desperate to conceive a child even as the doctors they pay (with borrowed money) thousands to speak frankly of the odds

Each beat of this plays out with exquisite delicacy, as does the exchange where the crook lays out, with exacting detail, how he’d rob this diner if it were a bank — and then takes it all back, letting her think he was joking

To fall in love with A Star Is Born is to embrace these paradoxes and, to quote a song Gaga sings in the film, go “off the deep end” and submerge oneself “far from the shallow.”

As her marriage opens up, and Colette begins to take lovers of her own, Knightley summons up a moving sense of both relief and recklessness

At times, Green’s film feels too familiar, exploring what we already know — cops can be dirty and may retaliate if they’re crossed

The idea practically sells itself: Kevin Hart has to take night classes to get his high school degree, and Tiffany Haddish plays his suffer-no-bullshit teacher

Young Anna (Galatea Bellugi), intense and charismatic in the manner of another teenaged French seer, reports that Mary has imparted to her a message calling for the building of a church and caring for the world’s poor

Ultimately a story about brotherhood, friendship and the insecurity of life in a violent place, the film injects a sweetness and innocence into the genre, mostly through one stellar performance by John C. Reilly

Transpose Extended will dive into the challenges transgender individuals face. “We’re talking about the trans people and their families,” says Alejandro Lex Treviño, Arttitude board member. “How their transition affected them from their individual basis.” Arttitude, a Dallas nonprofit that serves to unite the LGBTQ community, will screen the film…

It’s a Friday afternoon and The Real Housewives of Dallas star Stephanie Hollman is all alone in her newly renovated Dallas home. Outside, the rain is pounding into her infinity pool overlooking Turtle Creek, while inside, her miniature goldendoodle Biscuit keeps her company. Her youngest son, Cruz, is off on…

But 11/9 plays not like a much-needed blast of truth but like an all-purpose Michael Moore sequel, a self-congratulatory follow-up to several of his films, with Parkland material in the Bowling for Columbine vein, references to Sicko and even excerpts from 1989’s Roger & Me

Despite the killing-spree craziness of its final reels, much of the film is a how-the-kids-live-now potboiler, replete with guileless dirty talk and immense bedroom windows that seem to have been installed with peeping in mind

There’s a sense that Fogelman … has been inspired in part by the broken narratives of Charlie Kaufman, as the first 10 minutes of this film feature a story-within-a-story meta fake-out with Jackson as himself, narrating the action of a screenplay written by forlorn drunk Will (Isaac)

Roth’s film is a funhouse throwback, a scare-the-kids goof with a top-shelf cast, an antique shop’s worth of creepy windup dolls and more heart than you might expect — and, like those jack-o’-lanterns, it’s got more teeth, too

It’s rare to see a camera crew yelling action — or anything at all — around the streets of Dallas. There was a time, many years ago, Oliver Stone would occasionally drop into town and immortalize locals as extras in his latest film. Those days seem like memories left preserved…

Dallas is one of the busiest culinary hubs in all of America. This place is crawling with amateur chefs who dream of having one of their creations sampled and potentially spat out by some of TV’s meanest food judges. If you’re one of those aspiring blue plate special slingers who’s looking…

Last week on The Real Housewives of Dallas, something happened off-camera that we did not get to see, but once the camera turned back on, Housewives Brandi Redmond and Cary Deuber let us in on it. Late at night during the women’s ski trip in Beaver Creek, Colorado, it is said…
