Movie reviews of Alice Bishop

Depressive entertainment at its finest, Grey Gardens speaks to both the misunderstood and the unloved...

Funny in inference yet too fast paced to match the beat of a happy heart...

Hemsworth and co. deliver the goods as expected, galloping and sniping their way to a decent action movie...

A confident, practically Shakespearean mystery-thriller which delights in peeling back the layers of its narrative at a breathless pace.

A haunting depiction of innocence in times of chaos.

Excels with a bonkers premise, proving quirky and engaging despite the limitations of its family-friendly set-up.

Factually accurate where necessary but conveniently blindsided by the opportunity to manufacture another Meryl Streep nominations movie...

Delivers the thrills but fails to muster the stamina to overcome conceptual exhaustion.

Aces it with both character and setting, leaving us weeping beyond the credits without a single pang of sadness to ruin a Saturday afternoon.

Hangs on by a thread to the series’ original concept, proving no better than the average Paranormal Activity movie...

Sees a great make-up job disguised as a memorable history piece...

Socially aware without stating its motives, using the odd sight gag to pad out reams of drifting fodder.

Sergio Leone gives us something to cry about in the aftermath of irreversible loss and unforgotten memories.

Has all the tools but little to care for in its tale of unnecessary betrayal and callous greed.

Laboriously paced with an unearned 140 minute run-time yet consistently attention-grabbing with the glamorous Jessica Chastain...

An edge-of-your-seat thriller with the precision and patience to thoroughly explore all that its genre has to offer...

Mature in some ways but undeveloped in others...

Proves utterly lost as a work of semi-fiction, giving us little to applaud in the closing credits...

An awful metaphor made with the subtlety of a mass shooting and the direction of a broken compass...

The kind of dopey performance funfair that one might expect from a contemporary reboot of a family classic...

Presents a new angle with an unyielding respect for all that came before it...

Slips into familiar territory...

Both quick-witted and switched-on, an old-school but ageless classic...

A horror movie with an eye for transcribing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the holiday season through an allegorical tale...
