‘It’ Review: Horror Tale Floats Many Characters, But the Clown Disappoints
Stephen King’s “It,” first published in 1986, is one of his cleverest and most frightening books ever written. And if you were the right age when it aired, the 1990 TV miniseries adaptation with Tim Curry as Pennywise the evil clown probably scarred you for life. Both book and miniseries felt free to sprawl and take their time, and so Andy Muschietti’s feature film adaptation of the first half of the novel is in many ways a remarkable feat of condensation that hits most of the major points in the narrative. The main change in this new “It” is that…

Hillary Clinton-Endorsed Media Platform Gets Snark Treatment on Twitter
Move over Trump TV, here comes Verrit, the new Hillary Clinton-endorsed media platform that was created to give voice to the 65,853,516 Americans who voted for her in the 2016 election. Former Clinton adviser and the founder/CEO of the new site, Peter Dauo, believes that “American democracy is at stake” and those who “saw through the lies and smears” and ultimately voted for her are ostracized and badgered. “Hillary Clinton faced relentless vilification, imbalanced media coverage, and foreign propaganda, yet still attracted more votes than any presidential candidate in history except Barack Obama in 2008,” Dauo says on the Verrit website,…

‘Hostiles’ Review: Christian Bale Drives a Great American Western
The western keeps reinventing itself. Each generation finds its own way of adapting the genre to reflect our country’s social evolution and gradual enlightenment through a mechanism that is uniquely and wholly American. From John Ford to Sam Peckinpah, Robert Altman to Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner to Quentin Tarantino. From the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” to Iñárritu’s “The Revenant,” the genre lends itself to and bends itself into a continual rumination on redefining the Great American Hero. Scott Cooper’s “Hostiles” might well become this generation’s definitive western for the way it embraces the genre’s traditions while coming…

‘Suburbicon’ Review: George Clooney Overplays His Hand with Grotesque 50s Noir
Like those talented pop singers who keep making valiant stabs at being actors — and vice versa — George Clooney can’t seem to stay away from the director’s chair. His filmmaking career started promisingly enough with “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” (helped greatly by its Charlie Kaufman screenplay), but since then it’s been a parade of adequacies (“Good Night, and Good Luck,” “The Ides of March”), mediocrity (“Leatherheads”) and downright catastrophe (“The Monuments Men”). Clooney’s directorial legacy won’t get any help from “Suburbicon,” a garish and overblown crime melodrama that combines clumsy noir with lame jabs at 1950s suburban conformity…
