IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND

Maleficent   Maleficent, which casts Angelina Jolie — somehow made more angular and aloof — as one of the studio's great animated villains, the horned epitome of evil from 1959's Sleeping Beauty. As with other perspective-switch narratives like Grendel or Wide Sargasso Sea (or even Wicked) the film exists to fill in the cracks of the original story, giving context to a character's antagonism.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past  Singer's return in the pretzel-logic pop fantasia X-Men: Days of Future Past is so triumphant because of how effortless he makes connecting the dots seem. It's an epic that couldn't be more Byzantine on paper but scans with ease on screen. .
B+ Chris Nashawaty   
A Million Ways to Die in the West From his sideline obsession with Rat Pack swizzle-stick showmanship to his undeniably clever piggybacking on the small-screen legacy of The Simpsons and South Park, MacFarlane is clearly a guy who isn't afraid to borrow from his betters. And his new film is such an unapologetic homage to 1974's Blazing Saddles that Mel Brooks probably deserves to get a cut of the box-office receipts. Still, MacFarlane manages to make the film his own, goosing Brooks' original formula with hard-R raunchiness and post-modern mischief.
