Movie reviews of David Whitley

Heavy on the sappiness, implausible story lines, but decent acting that leads to a misogynistic conclusion.

Masters of their craft continue to be so – need I say more?

A movie that is easy to have mixed feelings about.

A sad movie that is based on a true story that is well-acted and beautiful, but leaves you strangely empty at the end.

A deeply religious movie that is as flawed as its main characters.

I thought there was a terrific mix of action and humor, along with some pretty good interpretations of comic characters...

A movie that tries to be interesting – in fact, tries to be a lot of things… but just isn’t any of them.

Sad to see a Hollywood revisionist take that adds nothing to the original story at all, when it is actually hinged on some interesting stuff.

Entertaining, bloody, and true to the character – one insanely good time...

Compelling, dramatic, and true – I need to say nothing else for this.

A film that is carried entirely by its cast, despite being overly dramatic to the point it makes you cringe.

A movie with a beautiful performance by its leads, decent performances by its supporting characters, but one that makes me wish that Hollywood believed in all nice guys.

A movie that sets standards for what animated movies should be like...

A film that takes what sounds like an interesting book plot and tanks it....

Not one of Tarantino’s best films, but still entertaining enough to watch.

A delight of a film featuring memorable characters, great dialogue, and a feel good story.

Another one of those horror/thrillers with a great idea that quickly tanks due to a poor script, terrible acting, and absolutely no idea on how to build tension...

A tale of two halves, leading up to a blockbuster worthy fight between two juggernauts, that oddly leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

A beautiful, mesmerizing, confusing film that is better suited for cinephiles (and aspiring ones) than the general public.

An entertaining film that is just what you would expect: a fun shoot-em up with little to no plot.

A film that takes its source material and wrings campy goodness out of them through performance of its actors and special effects.

A very entertaining film that hits hard, and somehow spins an action-sci-fi-romance story that is held together by a strong cast.

A film that is tremendously overly ambitious, yet oddly entertaining popcorn fare.

A dreadful bore of a film with actors that struggle to lift it out of a poor torturous script.
