Movie reviews of George Wolf

With Cranston, the man makes it worth watching, even when the show can’t quite keep up. Review

Through subtle storytelling and stellar performances, it finds meaning in places rarely explored this effectively... Review

Familiar in theme but illuminating with its intimacy, Chuck is a fascinating glimpse at life imitating art imitating life. Review

Damian Shannon and Mark Swift are able to tap into a witty and breezy R-rated vibe that tests some crude waters without ever diving in. Review

A smart, detailed film as compelling as any political thriller, yet as familiar as your last little white lie. Review

These two leads deserve better than a by-the-numbers romp with only scattershot giggles. Review

The three leads, all impressively committed, find the layers necessary to make the terror resonate deeply... Review

But when a rehash serves up this much wit, eye candy and escapist fun, you know what they say… Review

A moving portrait of the long term consequences of seemingly harmless choices. Review

While the film takes on a serious and credible subject, it only seems interested in diving surface deep. Review

Vigalondo is committed to the end, delivering a strange but satisfying in-the-moment fable. Review

Undercuts the brilliance of its pictures with overly simplistic, often manipulative storytelling. Review

As enthralling as the historical footage may be, it’s an equal treat to hear the behind-the-scenes story from the men themselves... Review

A caper full of obvious writing, cheap slapstick and dressed up sitcom filler. Review

Has a grace and maturity in it’s arc, understated but emotionally satisfying. Review

Ironically, with a moral so consumed by the preservation of humanity, Ghost in the Shell doesn’t give you much to think about. Review

For an origin story, we get stitched-together remnants of better movies and warmed over teen angst. Review

Becomes both a sober reminder that the fight continues, and an uplifting ode to fight on. Review

Devotees of the original will have their nostalgia rewarded... Review

It’s plenty big, and the CGI is often exhilarating, but smaller moments of nuance find a way in. Review

A strangely joyless endeavor, landing more as a chore than a calling. Review

An audacious first feature for Jordan Peele, a film that never stops entertaining as it consistently pays off the bets it is unafraid to make. Review

Offers violence, plenty of sex-fueled gags and the obligatory foul-mouthed grade-schooler. Review

Through Peck and Jackson, an unforgettable voice from the past becomes an indispensable storyteller for today. Review
