The movies that are playing in Pittsburgh –– and, more importantly, whether or not they’re worth your time.
The 400-Word Review: Abominable
The latest from Dreamworks Animation is ambitious, but derivative and dull.
The 400-Word Review: Between Two Ferns: The Movie
The web series might've been better served by a more unconventional film, but the results are funny enough.

The acclaimed series makes a handsome, if compressed, jump to the big screen.

Brad Pitt stars in a hypnotic masterpiece of science fiction.
The 400-Word Review: Tigers Are Not Afraid
This bleak horror movie may be a hard watch, but its excellent atmosphere lingers.

The 400-Word Review: It Chapter Two
Pennywise the Dancing Clown returns, as the big-screen remake of "It" attempts to succeed where its predecessor stumbled.
The 400-Word Review: Brittany Runs a Marathon
It's not quite the comedy you might be expecting, but "Brittany Runs a Marathon" will leave you feeling good.
The 400-Word Review: American Factory
This impressive documentary, produced in part by Barack and Michelle Obama, is loaded with insight and perspective.
The 400-Word Review: The Peanut Butter Falcon
"The Peanut Butter Falcon," an indie comedy with great performances, thinks a bit more of itself than it earns.
The 400-Word Review: Ready or Not
Don't mistake this for another half-hearted teen scream. "Ready or Not" is an enjoyable horror satire.
The 400-Word Review: Good Boys
This raunchy comedy isn't just funny — it's surprisingly sweet.
The 400-Word Review: Dora and the Lost City of Gold
Dora's in high school now, but her first feature is still for younger viewers only.
The 400-Word Review: The Art of Racing in the Rain
A good dog is the only redeeming quality of this detestable tearjerker.
The 400-Word Review: Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
The long-running series moves into pure fantasy with its first spinoff. That's a good thing.
The 400-Word Review: The Farewell
Awkwafina stars in one of the year's best films, a remarkable family dramedy from writer/director Lulu Wang.
Quick Review: Luz
Luz, an indie horror effort from Germany, is probably only for the most dedicated horror fans. It's an impressive debut, however.
The 400-Word Review: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino's ninth film sees the filmmaker finally turn his lens on Hollywood itself.
The 400-Word Review: Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am
The stellar documentary about the lauded author is a master class in her work and impact.
The 400-Word Review: The Lion King
Despite a great voice cast, the new version of "The Lion King" was a bad idea from the start.
The 400-Word Review: Secret Obsession
Netflix is on a bit of a hot streak with its original thrillers. Unfortunately, this dud isn't part of it.
The 400-Word Review: Point Blank
Netflix's action thriller is forgettable, but serves well as a quick throwback.
The 400-Word Review: Stuber
There are laughs in the new buddy comedy, but they're dragged down by bad decisions.
The 400-Word Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home
Marvel's epic "Infinity Saga" series wraps up with a Spider-Man post-script.
The 400-Word Review: Ophelia
A retelling of Shakespeare's biggest hit from another point of view is a good idea, but "Ophelia" squanders the premise.
The 400-Word Review: Yesterday
What if the Beatles blinked out of history? It's an interesting thought experiment. It's not, however, a movie plot.

The latest chapter in the sprawling "Conjuring" series is a bit silly, but far more enjoyable than expected.

Well into Adam Sandler's tenure as a Netflix actor, he finally comes up with a mostly enjoyable comedy.

The alien-comedy series hasn't been good since the 20th century. That trend continues with this soft reboot.
The 400-Word Review: Late Night
Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling star in a comedy that's more pleasant than it is funny.
The 400-Word Review: The Dead Don't Die
It's a bone-dry zombie comedy with a great cast that will make (some) audiences very happy.
The 400-Word Review: The Secret Life of Pets 2
Slapstick gags and wacky animals are usually funny. With a slapdash sequel, that might not be enough.
The 400-Word Review: Dark Phoenix
The final chapter in the two-decade "X-Men" series strikes an odd note. Oddly, that makes it worth seeing.
The 400-Word Review: Rocketman
