Movie reviews of David Whitley

An example of amateur filmmaking that fails to justify its short running time.

Entertaining at times, but never more than a few chuckles worth.

Uncomfortable to watch, but needing to be told – the Fox News story.

An excellent example of how veteran performers can elevate anything to watchability.

A beautifully constructed class commentary where everyone is parasitic in some form.

A bit overlong but manages to maintain a pace that is strong and consistent.

Creative, emotional, and epic.

A blow to the heart for anyone that has one.

Tarantino’s penultimate film is a one that is clearly all his own.

A story about the reflections of age and your own perspective on your actions.

Viscerally powerful despite being an overall mixed message.

Though the plot sounds made for me, this film truly wasn’t.

Solid development of story and red herrings, with very little development of characters.

Haunting and chilling, with an uninviting core of wrongness.

A bit of a paint by the numbers horror thriller, despite strong performances from a spread out cast.

Another Stanley Tucci vehicle that fails to live up to his name.

Outrageous and bloody with ambition to spare.

Invoking both Stephen King and the Nightmare franchise in equal measure, this film succeeds with a focus on dramatic growth of character.

A scary anthology that all comes together in the end, in a confusing but satisfying manner.

Filled with as much nostalgia for childhood as possible, this film somehow manages to stay as sweet as a pot of honey.

Technically breathtaking, with an emotional story to match.

Some sporadic moments of comedy but nothing that ever shone like it could have.

An interesting idea and a stellar cast goes mostly wasted as the film struggles to decide where to go.

Nearly its predecessor’s equal, but lacking some small details to gain it there.
