Movie reviews of Jeremy Lebens

Almost too over-the-top, yet you can't help but to smile.

Takes too many pages from Richard Linklater's playbook and comes up short in its attempt at capturing an intimate night between two strangers.

A tedious road trip drama about finding oneself amongst the muck of the world. Jake Schreier directs with competency.

Struggles breaking the boxing mold, despite being far more gritty and well-acted than most sports films.

A lean and effective little horror film, anchored down by Mark Duplass' weirdness & Brice's well-paced direction.

An underwhelming Marvel production that falls flat, failing to tell its own story.

Standard action affair, only shot with a bit more visual style thanks to Singh's more-than-competent camerawork and acted with charming ease by Ryan Reynolds.

A very by-the-books found-footage horror film, but it works within its own established boundaries quite well...

A disappointing disaster of creativity, with Apatow's loose direction failing to align with Amy Schumer's scattered script and energetic performance.

Works efficiently as a low-key comedy with amusing performances by both Jason Schwartzman and Adam Scott.

A familiar, yet not as bad as you'd expect sequel that calls back to the original two films a little too much.

An excessive, but unnecessary sequel.

A great film from Pixar with a strong universal message that will please both kids and adults.

A thought provoking and emotional journey, packed with a killer soundtrack.

A well-acted indie drama, dealing with its tough material through snappy direction based off of an eccentric script...

A retooling of the classic first film, telling the same old story, but with a fresh coat of paint.

Serves the fans their much-wanted continuation of the characters, while providing enough laughs for movie-going audiences seeking a decent comedy.

A sharp decline in quality from the previous two films...

Hilarious from start-to-finish, with Melissa McCarthy leading yet another well-rounded ensemble cast of funny people...

Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone shine, while the rest of their co-stars struggle to do their characters justice in such a layered and tangled film.

Big, fun, exciting and a nearly perfect disaster movie...

A modern update of the classic film, offering up no new ideas or scares, just newer, less effective special effects and the added dimension of 3D.

As a piece of pure entertainment gets by.

Lays the foundation for an interesting discussion on the ethics of drone warfare, while also delving into the effects it has on those piloting the machines.
