Movie reviews of Evan Popplestone

It’s a bad melodrama that’s paradoxically well worth watching due to some truly great moments of cinema.

A well-crafted and involving thriller, albeit not quite a perfect one.

A visually beautiful affair.

Works very well as a piece of economical action cinema...

Performances are fantastic across the boar...

Enjoyable on a shallow level.

One of the finest Hollywood blockbusters of recent years.

It’s overlong and somewhat waffly on occasion - its sense of cinema as a means to transport and express is undeniable.

The sense of tension is well-orchestrated with great use of back-and-forth edits.

Charming in its own way.

Remains a frightening, untameable enigma, eluding any comfort blanket of psychological understanding and rationalisation...

Has a touch less of Dog’s jaw-droppingly batshit creativity but it’s more immaculately-crafted all-round.

A fantastic one-of-a-kind apocalyptic thrille...

An absorbing if somewhat sombre drama about appreciating and understanding the cycle of life.

As a one-of-a-kind look at what drives an artist’s creativity, it’s an absolute must.

This documentary does take a fine stab at painting her in a well-rounded manner.

A uniquely eerie experience even if it is (arguably) as much by accident as by design.

Fully deserves its place on an essential anime list...

An unadulterated riot of entertainment...

A lot of old-fashioned fun...

An ideal nostalgic “Sunday afternoon food coma” watch.

So much unpretentious monster movie fun...

Feels like a decent FX showreel which has been padded out to a bad feature-length B movie.

Great epic action entertainment.
