In the courtroom drama "Juror #2," the latest movie directed by Clint Eastwood, Nicholas Hoult plays a man called up for jury duty and is confronted with a moral crisis. The movie also features performances by Toni Collette and J.K. Simmons. Our film critic Justin Chang says it's a thoughtful, complex story and one of Eastwood's better recent films, and recommends that you see it in theaters while you can.

Our film critic Justin Chang says "Close Your Eyes" is one of the best movies he's seen this year. It's the first feature in more than three decades from Spanish director Victor Erice, best known for his 1973 classic "The Spirit Of The Beehive." "Close Your Eyes" follows a retired filmmaker trying to solve a mystery surrounding an unfinished production from many years ago. Here is Justin's review.

Director Fede Álvarez is a strong director of action, and he riffs inventively on classic Alien beats. It’s an efficient and reasonably entertaining thriller that traffics more in nostalgia than novelty.

Our film critic Justin Chang recommends the independent drama "Good One," which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival and opens in theaters August 9.
