Review of Furious 7 (2015)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of Ex Machina (2015)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of The Theory of Everything (2014)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Redmayne and Jones are fantastic, and it's wonderful to see a biopic that includes the woman next to the famous man, but there's no there…

Review of God Help the Girl (2014)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of Boyhood (1951)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of Herø (2001)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

If Jonze occasionally misses a beat... and he presses the too-sweet soundtrack on us in every scene - by the end, Her's sympathy is for everyone…

Review of The Zero Theorem (2013)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of Obvious Child (2009)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Obvious Child is a quiet movie, in a way; no one needs saving, and everyone's going to be ok. But it feels like a big film all the same…

Review of While We're Young (2015)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018
