Movie reviews of Ben Kendrick

Offers some intriguing ideas about exorcism, a pair of interesting characters, and a number of tense (though not entirely frightening) moments. Review

An enjoyable middle-ground film... Review

A rich and evocative Spielberg historical drama... Review

A compelling ride for die-hard fans of the book series, dramatic thriller enthusiasts, as well as anyone who enjoys Fincher’s darker works. Review

A straightforward but still intriguing story that keeps the action moving at a steady clip... Review

Falls into a middle ground that ultimately delivers thin characters and only so-so comedic momentum. Review

An experience that simultaneously offers beautiful filmmaking and a welcome punch to the gut. Review

Successfully captures so much heart, laughter, and onscreen magic... Review

Not a competent piece of filmmaking and stands as potentially the worst installment in the series. Review

Anyone interested in a mix of stunning visual compositions and brutal fight sequences, Immortals isn’t likely to disappoint. Review

Will fall short of offering anything beyond the same speculative picture of Hoover that has dominated public opinion for nearly half a century. Review

Offers over-the-top counter-programming for the holiday season... Review

Manages to successfully capture the spirit of the source material – even if the result is a scattered piece of filmmaking. Review

A fun and entertaining spin-off film... Review

A subtle, yet challenging, character drama with stand-out performances and some truly beautiful camerawork... Review

Scarier, funnier, and ultimately more entertaining than its predecessors. Review

Little more than a quick and sexy flash in the pan. Review

Offers an interesting set of juxtapositions... Review

Delivers plenty of exciting punches. Review

A solid attempt at presenting a cancer story on the big screen... Review

The story is generic and cliche’, the characters are one dimensional shells, and the performances are stilted at best... Review

A cartoony and messy narrative that is mostly style over substance... Review

With some truly great performances, exciting moments, and creative cinematography. Review

A lackluster horror movie, with very little compelling build up to the last set piece. Review
