MovieStyle: A Critical Mass

Steve James’ documentary Life Itself is a lovely eulogy for the film critic Roger Ebert, who died in April 2013, but is it a movie a general audience might want to see?

And would Gene Siskel give it a thumbs up? Our Philip Martin discusses the film in this week's MovieStyle while Piers Marchant assesses the damage in the wake of The Purge: Anarchy and Dan Lybarger uses his critical faculties on DisneyToon's Planes: Fire and Rescue.

Also opening this week, Korengal, Sebastian Junger's follow-up to 2010’s Restrepo, and Sex Tape, which re-teams Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal with Bad Teacher director Jake Kasdan. And, as always, Karen Martin sorts out the week's home video releases.

Read tomorrow's MovieStyle section for full reviews.
