Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

Yet even as the plot progresses with a formulaic air, not failing to surprise as much as it merely evenly spaces the action and exposition and comedy, the sense of limitless possibilities keeps things exciting. Review

Not every point of execution is perfect (several scenes could have been trimmed), but A Cry in the Dark is nonetheless considerably entertaining in its presentation of the famous case. Review

The plot is so familiar, the action so routine, the revelations so unmemorable, and the personas so numerous and unstimulating that the entire production feels as if a greatest hits compilation instead of a brand new, big-budget dinosaur extravaganza. Review

Though The Legend of Hell House isn’t as visually appalling as many of its brethren it sticks to dependable formulas, creating decent thrills. Review

Pervasive weirdness, even if nonsensical, tends to win out in these kinds of tales; afterwards might be a different matter, but at the time, many of the concepts appear sincere – especially the build to a rambunctious climax. Review

As he tunnels deeper into the rabbit hole of bizarreness, Cronenberg’s realm of graphic mutilations certainly becomes unique. But is it entertaining? He often seems so focused on visual freakishness that he forgets to progress the plot... Review

The related boo moments, however, are largely amusing, even if they also don’t precisely contribute to the movie’s interest in popularizing ghouls. Review

The Bob’s Burgers Movie is entirely in line with the television series, maintaining a faithfulness to the characters and their family dynamics, and providing further opportunities to spend time with such well-designed, cleverly-scripted, morally-uplifting, periodically hilarious personas. Review

Fortunately, when this picture dwells on training sequences and dogfighting drills (as its predecessor did), it’s immeasurably more galvanizing; the cockpit perspectives and aerial photography are downright mesmerizing. Review

It also doesn’t help that the acting is generally unconvincing or, on occasion, pitiful, while the dialogue is juvenile and the editing is paltry. Review

Ultimately, the result isn’t clever enough to actually reboot the franchise, though if this picture is successful, it might lend the same reinvigoration ploy to other forgotten Disney shows. Review

Way Down East is an epic romance, containing striking imagery, colorful characters, and heartfelt interactions, the central notion that a woman is unworthy of marriage if she’s not a virgin is unfortunately antiquated. Review

By the end, however, the unguessable nature of the killer doesn’t propel the story or maintain interest; instead, it’s the sexiness of the cast and the opportunities for death and destruction that remain engaging – though even these elements can only barely sustain a 90-minute picture. Review

It’s also partly educational, even if the technology and processes won’t stay applicable forever, but it’s mainly entertaining – the central three characters are highly personable, funny, and sympathetic. Review

With the main premise existing between other storylines, while the conclusion closes with additional loose ends and teaser snippets for upcoming movies, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness resembles the Fantastic Beasts series, serving as a mere middle piece that only marginally pushes the larger picture forward. Review

This is the kind of sci-fi tale in want of dependable components of exploitation, especially with a story and direction by Stuart Gordon. Review

The finale returns to horror genre tropes, but the overall result is still unexpectedly entertaining. Review

Unfortunately, it’s mostly comprised of little jokes as opposed to big gags, marking a pleasant but modest comedy; it’s never uproarious enough to be unforgettable. Still, the ending – though anticipated – is satisfying. Review

With all the hysterical nods to the actor’s previous works, as well as through embracing his perceived quirkiness, it’s difficult not to recommend this flick to anyone who has followed the star’s career... Review

The damsel encounters distress and the hero must stage an epic rescue, generating an exciting climax and cementing Weissmuller’s place as the original and most beloved of the onscreen Tarzan iterations. Review

By the end, The Egyptian does muster the epic vibe it sought to obtain, even if it fails to match the grandness of The Robe, which it so clearly borrows from – and from which it cannot escape comparisons. Review

At least there’s a vein of humor running throughout much of the picture, which helps the general quiescence feel moderately less tedious. But it’s still evident that virtually everything that takes place in this middle chapter is trivial, with a forced, spontaneous creation of tiny predicaments and tiny solutions, since real substance and conclusions are presumably set aside for the final film. Review

It may possess an admirable message and decent performances, but the pacing and plotting regularly teeter on tedium. Review

There’s mild satisfaction to be found in some of the destructive confrontations, but plenty of dawdling and bewildering returns to bizarre ceremonies foster a dullness that surely won’t align with mainstream audiences’ expectations for thrilling Viking exploits. Review
