Movie reviews of Ben Kendrick

Successfully freshens the Jackass format and will, without question, keep fans of the series laughing (and cringing) the entire time. Review

A more intense (and gory) retelling of events for the contemporary movie market. Review

An entertaining but uneven story that is elevated by worthy performances from nearly everyone involved. Review

An astute and exciting action-thriller/biopic. Review

A shallow, and outright superficial, look at gambling... Review

Doesn’t taste quite as fresh as the original recipe but the film offers more than just re-heated leftovers... Review

Excels in its exploration of the Hunt and Lauda relationship as well as how the iconic rivalry helped shaped each racer... Review

A violent and disturbing look at the blurry lines between good and bad people – couched in an engaging (and unsettling) kidnapper subplot. Review

A solid action-horror experience. Review

Strong performances from Bana and Hall help elevate Crowley’s film above similarly predictable thrillers... Review

Another worthwhile team-up from Pegg and Wright as well as a welcome addition to their cult-favorite trilogy. Review

Falls short of being anything more than an ordinary movie experience that chronicles the life of an extraordinary man. Review

Exactly what moviegoers should expect based on the pairing of drugs and family in the initial premise. Review

A step down for the Percy Jackson franchise in nearly every single way imaginable. Review

Offers plenty of pleasing moments – thanks to a fun pair of performances from Washington and Wahlberg. Review

Includes plenty of ridiculous (and cringe-inducing) moments that are sure to entertain moviegoers looking for a raunchy teen comedy. Review

A brainless and mostly unfunny script, awkward visuals, as well as underdeveloped characters. Review

An adequate but not stellar follow-up. Review

A flawed but often entertaining summer blockbuster experience... Review

A competent blockbuster thriller that is likely to satisfy filmgoers who were intrigued by the trailers and/or core premise... Review

Successfully captures the culture of celebrity obsession and impersonation that fueled these teens into criminal activity... Review

Transforms from an engaging glimpse at post-apocalyptic human endurance into a brainless shell... Review

A formulaic buddy comedy masking familiar plot beats with flashy digital age one-liners. Review

A bigger film that will please moviegoers looking for nitro-infused car stunts, amusing characters, and enormous action sequences. Review
