Movie reviews of Ruth Maramis

This is the kind of documentary that makes you shake your head repeatedly and also gets you riled up on how someone could deceive people and be allowed to do so for so long. Review

I highly recommend this if you’re a fan of Patel, or if you’re up for an off-the-beaten path psychological thriller that’s more about the character development than a well-choreographed action sequence. Review

It certainly turns out to be a chilling origin story of a tragic character, but more so because of Phoenix’s performance than the film’s direction. Review

Fans of Downton would likely get the most enjoyment out of this movie, but casual moviegoers might still be entertained by the upstairs/downstairs shenanigans of British aristocrats. Review

It’s still a pretty solid drama in which the cast made it well worth a watch. Review

Be sure to pack tissues when you go see it, it’ll make you laugh and cry in equal measure in this joyful, poignant celebration of family. Review

Favreau and Choi seemed to genuinely enjoy each other’s company, and obviously enjoy what they’re doing that their joy is infectious. Review

I’d say it’s still worth a look if you’re a fan of spy thrillers, and at 1hr 38 minutes, it’s pretty darn efficient. Review

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are made for each other in this lush but vapid vacation comedy that’s practically devoid of suspense. Review

Tom Holland is the true star here who absolutely rocks as both Spider-man AND his alter ego Peter Parker. Review

Director Nisha Ganatra keeps the flow at the right pace while balancing the funny bits with genuine emotional moments. Review

The zippy script fires humorous lines on all cylinders, but still packs an emotional punch. Review

Overall Aladdin is a pretty fun movie, though overlong at 2 hours 8 minutes. Review

In a hyper-stylized movie that prioritizes adrenaline-pumping action above everything else, there’s no room for narratives nor logic. That said, it’s still a fun experience to see Keanu Reeves in his element, doing what he does best. Review

Despite the flaws, I find myself enjoying the movie for the most part. There are some predictable beats and over-the-top scenes, but Levine managed to keep the movie engaging throughout. Review

The film is an artistic and technical marvel. The set pieces are great, which is to be expected for a film of this scale. Alan Silvestri, the original composer of The Avengers, delivers rousing music with his iconic score, but it also sounds perfectly melancholy when it needs to be. What a bittersweet and worthy send-off for a bunch of beloved characters. Review

It’s one of those movies that was entertaining enough because of the cast, but in the end I can’t help wonder what it could’ve been. Review

As a horror film, Pet Sematary works quite well. But it is the idea in King’s story that really makes it horrifying at a deep archetypical level. Review

But as a feel-good family film, I think it’s still pretty enjoyable. Is this movie necessary? Well no, but neither is any of the live action adaptations Disney’s been making. Review

Indeed a grim and unflinchingly-tense film that shows the triumph of human spirits and acts of heroism by regular people. Review

In the end, I enjoyed it for the most part despite the overly bombastic action finale that somehow many DC movies can’t avoid, and other flaws I mentioned. Review

The desolate setting here is a character in itself, in which the location is pivotal to the story. It’s a bleak film to be sure, but a deeply engrossing one and it’s not without hope. Review

What I like most about this movie is the way the story unfolds. I actually like the deliberate, almost unhurried pace, but every moment is never without a sense of dread. Review

So while this movie has its moments, it just wasn’t the trailblazing movie I expected to introduce such a powerful super-heroine. Review
