The movies that are playing in Pittsburgh –– and, more importantly, whether or not they’re worth your time.
The 400-Word Review: Mission: Impossible - Fallout
The sixth film in the Tom Cruise franchise doesn't change the formula, but it offers its share of thrills.
The 400-Word Review: Teen Titans Go! To the Movies
The animated superhero flick is a surprisingly enjoyable riff on the genre.
The 400-Word Review: The Equalizer 2
An unnecessary sequel to the Denzel Washington action flick arrives for a quick beat-em-up fix.
The 400-Word Review: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
The sequel to the 2008 ABBA musical is far from perfect, but might have enough charm to keep you on board.
The 400-Word Review: Skyscraper
If you want "Die Hard" with half the brains but three times the building, the new Dwayne Johnson flick will do a passing job.
The 400-Word Review: The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter
The Netflix exclusive Josh Brolin flick is pleasant enough, but light on laughs.
The 400-Word Review: The First Purge
The prequel to the horror series has plenty to say. It's just no good at saying it.
The 400-Word Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp
The latest Marvel flick is pretty good, even if it does disrupt the flow of the series' big story.
The 400-Word Review: Sicario: Day of the Soldado
The unexpected sequel has its merits, but it may not be worth subjecting yourself to it.
The 400-Word Review: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
The fifth "Jurassic Park" film is fun. Empty, somewhat disappointing fun.
The 400-Word Review: Won't You Be My Neighbor?
The documentary about Fred Rogers' work and philosophy inspires even more wonder about the television legend who called Pittsburgh home.
The 400-Word Review: Ocean's 8
The spinoff to the early-2000s heist series is nothing if not mediocre.
The 400-Word Review: Upgrade
It's a passable future-shock thriller, but nothing to write home about (or rush to see).
The 400-Word Review: Adrift
Shailene Woodley is lost at sea. Unfortunately, so is the script to this drama.
The 400-Word Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story
The Star Wars series experiments with telling an origin story, with mixed results.
The 400-Word Review: Pope Francis: A Man of His Word
The careful documentary is a valuable document of the pontiff's philosophy. As a film, there are issues.
The 400-Word Review: Deadpool 2
Can the sequel to the lightning-in-a-bottle superhero hit live up to its predecessor?
The 400-Word Review: Lu Over the Wall
The latest animated import brought to local screens by GKIDS is more evidence of why moviegoers should be paying attention.
