On this edition of the Cinema Clash: U.S. Special Forces ride to victory in 12 STRONG, a war movie with a western vibe; Annette Bening channels Oscar-winner Gloria Grahame (who?) in the sanitized romantic melodrama FILM STARS DON’T DIE IN LIVERPOOL; Nicolas Cage lends star power to a dark horror comedy about parents who act on the urge to kill their obnoxious kids in the cult-classic wannabe, MOM AND DAD; and a glimpse into the inner-workings of President Obama’s smart and compassionate foreign-policy team proves downright depressing in the documentary, THE FINAL YEAR.
