Movie reviews of George Wolf

A caper full of obvious writing, cheap slapstick and dressed up sitcom filler. Review

Has a grace and maturity in it’s arc, understated but emotionally satisfying. Review

Ironically, with a moral so consumed by the preservation of humanity, Ghost in the Shell doesn’t give you much to think about. Review

For an origin story, we get stitched-together remnants of better movies and warmed over teen angst. Review

Becomes both a sober reminder that the fight continues, and an uplifting ode to fight on. Review

Devotees of the original will have their nostalgia rewarded... Review

It’s plenty big, and the CGI is often exhilarating, but smaller moments of nuance find a way in. Review

A strangely joyless endeavor, landing more as a chore than a calling. Review

An audacious first feature for Jordan Peele, a film that never stops entertaining as it consistently pays off the bets it is unafraid to make. Review

Offers violence, plenty of sex-fueled gags and the obligatory foul-mouthed grade-schooler. Review

Through Peck and Jackson, an unforgettable voice from the past becomes an indispensable storyteller for today. Review

There are four funny lines in the film. Review

Exciting, enlightening, heartfelt and humorous, Rush flat out delivers, on all pumped-up cylinders. Review

A breathtaking ride that rewards the effort it demands... Review

There’s no sharp wit, satire or subtlety here, just sitcom humor and fluffy romance dressed up in period costumes. Review

Calls to mind past cruelty, an Orwellian present and an uncertain future, emerging as essential, soul-shaking viewing. Review

Provides plenty of fun, mixing tongue in check nods to the sci-fi genre with frenetic action... Review

She makes a shallow, obnoxious character so completely human you can’t bring yourself to hate her. Review

A thoroughly enjoyable take on the power of music, and much like a Springsteen show, offers a lengthy encore. Review

Carey may have been trying too hard the first time. Review

Clever one liners give way to all-out comedy routines while bullets fly and rockets launch. Review

Its light, but there’s ironic fun to be had, and a pair of fine performances to appreciate. Review

It’s all so trite and obvious, from the environmental scolding to the boy yelling in the wilderness for his father to believe in him. Review

Ariel Vroman gives Shannon a sharp, edgy script and surrounds him with an excellent supporting cast... Review
