The film attempts to understand why people were willing to believe stories like Michelle’s and get caught up in the paranoia. It is far from exhaustive, but it covers the ground it does tread well. Review
When the film reaches its high stakes final moments, it feels as though there was more the story could have unpacked in lieu of the muddled plot it does traverse. Review
The subject matter here is certainly worthy of exploration, but such serious subject matter being relegated to an unsatisfying twist ending makes the message ring hollow. Review
Humor is subjective, and if a nearly two-hour live-action Looney Tunes cartoon is something you’re after you will probably find this endlessly amusing. Review
While the emotional tradeoffs are explored with an effectively dour grounding — and Greer channels the emotional weight of it all with aplomb — the film does not break new ground in the genre. Review
The quality of the talking head interviews is apparent, and they shed plenty of light on the production of the disgraced special. All the while, the doc maintains a light humor that goes beyond merely pointing at the special and laughing. Review
This world-building points to the cleverness of the film. The script innocently mocks wellness culture and technology dependence. Review
Shin Kamen Rider is a light and at times exciting action film. It may be the weakest of this series of Shin films (Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman being the others). But it still manages to strike a tone that balances cheese and sincerity effectively. Review
The film does not drag or feel thin, as Fessenden takes pains to unearth the turmoil that results from Charley’s condition and flesh out the small town at the center of his rampage. Review
This driving thematic arc could be mapped onto any number of real-world analogues, but I ultimately feel the film functions better as a genre exercise than as a social allegory. Review
Stay Online is an intense, slightly belabored experience that works best when it seeks to show compassion between individuals. Review
Sympathy for the Devil is constructed rather conventionally—a fitting complement to a story which builds slowly toward unimaginative twists. Review
The Flash has enough going for it in the action, comedy, and nostalgia departments to appease both DC fans and general audiences. Review
No matter which way this MCU ship turns as it continues through its multiverse era, this trilogy of films will be able to stand on its own. Given what the big studio franchise has become in the wake of Marvel’s success, this is a pleasant and welcome surprise. Review
Fans of tech-based films like Steve Jobs or this year’s Tetris will likely find something to enjoy in BlackBerry. Review
John Wick: Chapter 4 is an epic whose scope exceeds that of most American action films. Review
Scream VI has a duo of intense and well-staged set pieces. Review
For all of its fast-talking plotiness and attempts at witty humor, Operation Fortune lacks the vim and vigor of a grand-scale action comedy. Review
For what its worth, there are shots in here that look fantastic and the visual effects are sufficient for what the film needs of them. As far as bears and cocaine go, though, that combination alone is not enough to hang your would-be cult film on. Especially if you are in on the joke and it’s the only cohesive joke you have. Review
Act of Violence is a very talky movie, and much of that talking is banal and takes place in real time. Review
Magic Mike’s Last Dance is the low point in the trilogy. It lacks the characters and relatively-speaking tighter story structure of Magic Mike and the picaresque ode to pleasure of Magic Mike XXL. Review
On a final note, the film is shot really well. Shyamalan puts more personality into his camerawork than he does into his characters. Review
Infinity Pool is by no means mainstream viewing, and even those who appreciated Possessor may walk out of this new film from Cronenberg feeling cold. Review
