Take 2: IRON MAN 3

Third time not quite the charm

2.5 Stars  “Iron Man 3” is the weakest in the series, and it suffers from confused plotting, flat-footed exposition, and more pure, noisy nonsense than even a comic-book movie should have to put up with.

Movie Review
'Kon-tiki'

'Kon-tiki'

2.5 Stars  This Oscar-nominated Norwegian drama (in English) recreates Thor Heyerdahl’s 1947 crossing of the Pacific on a balsa-wood raft. It’s rousing and epic and undercut by compromises onscreen and off.
Movie Review
'Bert Stern: Original Madman'

'Bert Stern: Original Madman'

3.0 Stars  Stern recorded and defined pop culture and celebrity in the ’50s and ’60s with his photography. That alone would make this documentary a must-see, not to mention the wild details of his life.

'The Good Nurse'

'The Good Nurse' is a success

"The Good Nurse" is a standout true-crime book, one that doubles as both a thrilling horror story and a cautionary tale, and frustrates in equal measures.
