  • ‘Love Hurts’

    As a nice-guy realtor who's really an ex-hitman, the likable Ke Huy Quan gets stuck juggling a nonsensical Valentine's Day plot, Jackie Chan-style stunts and other half-baked ideas.

    Ke Huy Quan as Marvin Gable in Love Hurts, directed by Jonathan Eusebio.

  • ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’

    Bernard MacMahon's documentary is full of amazing footage as it traces Led Zeppelin's roots with authoritative power, capturing how they kicked open the door to a nihilistic new age.

  • ‘Heart Eyes’

    In this entertaining rom-com slasher movie, a psycho who only strikes on Valentine's Day mistakes an ad exec and her romantic colleague for a killable couple.

  • ‘Dog Man’

    A bonkers slapstick kiddie cartoon. The irreverent jokes fly, with little time to land, in this exhausting action comedy about a cop with a dog's head saving his city from his cat arch-nemesis.

    Dog Man (Peter Hastings) in DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man, directed by Peter Hastings.

Jodie Foster & Robert Downey Jr. — Actors on Actors (Full Conversation)

Perfection is rarely achieved in movies, but this heaven-sent concert doc hits the sweet spot. Over two days in January 1972, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin — she was 29 at the time — sweeps into the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts in front of a congregation and testifies to God in song. The blessed thing took nearly half a century to come out because director Sydney Pollack failed to sync the image with the sound. Then digital angels stepped in, and glory, glory, hallelujah!
