Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

It’s not high art, but it’s a surprisingly memorable slasher endeavor. Review

Could have used some considerable polishing to make the most of its original, preteen-oriented adventures. Review

Perhaps most disappointing of all is the finale, which manages to be outrageously anticlimactic, even with a few twists that audiences might not guess. Review

The finale improves considerably when the yuck factor increases exponentially, borrowing a note or two from Dead Alive and from the many teen slashers that boast villains who refuse to die. Review

Outrageously deranged, and with a conclusion that leaves a lot up to the imagination, this is one superbly original production. Review

The premise is terribly bleak, but Bergeron’s plight manages to be momentarily hopeful, funny, and provocative as well. Review

The combination of action, intermittent comic relief makes for a frivolous yet fun diversion. Review

The animation style suits the storyline, with the anime versions of familiar roles nicely adapted from their three-dimensional counterparts. Review

Thanks to a powerful, stirring score by Justin Hurwitz, these long-awaited, climactic sequences hold considerable weight. Review

This emotional account is woefully timely and perpetually relevant. Review

The scope is grand enough to hope for a full franchise, but the plot just isn’t unique enough to want to see more of Riddick’s missions. Review

It ultimately seems like a lot of nonsense. Review

Something unique yet not entirely satisfying. Review

It’s an uncommon mix of genuine action and slapstick comedy, complete with a fitting, allegorical message about greed and the human condition. Review

This is probably one of the cheapest, tawdriest of all late-night, last-rate exploitation efforts... Review

A notable effort... Review

Even when A Star is Born is at its most sentimental or manipulative, Gaga remains believable, and her crooning is utterly heartfelt. Review

A potent, powerful work, full of tough questions, tougher answers, and outstanding performances. Review

Tropes are avoided, substituted instead for a nuanced tale of unanticipated growth and senses of obligation dramatically fulfilled. Review

It devolves into a bullet-dodging, body-battering, glass-shattering, scenery-demolishing collection of brawls. Review

A macabre yet funny adventure, though one small enough in its ambitions as to become terribly unmemorable. Review

It’s as horrifying as it is hilarious, even managing to work in a Hitler comparison that, while not a perfect parallel, is a relevant likening worth scrutinizing. Review

It has a hell of a coda, following up a spine-tingling climax with a perversely poetic finale and parting shot. Review

The pacing, the action, and the humor generally offset the deficiencies in continuity and storytelling. Review
