Movie reviews of Jeremy Lebens

A Quiet Place is terrifying and tense in all of the right ways. Director John Krasinski's use (or lack thereof) of sound makes for a rather unique viewing experience.

The characters and plot may not be as memorable as the source material the film pays homage to, but Ready Player One is still loads of fun and a perfectly good way to kill two hours.

A nerve-wrecking thriller that ups the paranoia and claustrophobia thanks to its iPhone-shot approach.

The definition of an un-needed sequel.

A stylish sequel that boasts more mystery and slasher kills, but rarely continues the conversation of the first film.

An exploitative B revenge movie that gets by on its social commentary jabs, gory action sequences and a career-reviving Bruce Willis performance.

Every bit as slick and as action-packed as the film's it mocks, while also being incredibly funny.

Features a killer soundtrack and reliable performances all-around, but its story lacks surprises and the action struggles when compared to other Marvel films.

The most over-cooked and uninspired entry yet, wasting perfectly good characters on action cliche after action cliche.

Definitely Taken on a Train, but with Collet-Serra's usual inventive camerawork and action choreography.

Offers up familiar franchise scares, reminding audiences that star Lin Shaye's performance is the highlight of this often repetitive series.

Incredibly entertaining, thanks to the hilarious on-screen chemistry between its core cast and director Jake Kasdan's eye for adventure and spectacle.

A larger-than-life letdown from frequently impressive director Alexander Payne.

Ayer's direction is flat and lazy, Landis' script is far from clever and Smith phones in his performance...

A tame R-rated comedy, with Ed Helms and Owen Wilson mostly just playing extensions of themselves, only with a lot less flare and excitement.

Might not be James Franco's funniest film, but it's definitely his most interesting and unique.

A clunky and tonally misguided mess, mostly delivering the action, while occasionally landing its character beats.

A stylish and well-acted murder-mystery that benefits from its visual thrills and ensemble cast, but fumbles into predictability as the story unfolds.

Marvel's funniest movie yet.

A Saw-lovers delight, paying homage to the creatively gory horror franchise by providing a fresh look on familiar content.

Every bit as good as the original, recapturing the complex thematics and futuristic atmosphere with masterclass efficiency.

Not only a massive letdown, but one of the worst films that I have ever seen.

Bigger in scope and has better action than The Secret Service, but it does run a tad long...

The accumulation of atmosphere, patience and performances that all total up for one of the most memorable horror movies in recent memory.
