Movie reviews of David Whitley

1998, Comedy, Suspense, Crime, Mystery

Frequently hilarious, this retelling of classic Sherlock Holmes seems like a precursor to BBC’s Sherlock.

2010, Adventure, Drama, History

Visually stunning, but lacking character development, this movie is an interesting watch, but not a necessary one.

2017, Horror, Suspense

M. Night Shyamalan, ever heard of him? Returns to his classic days to bring you this thriller worth watching.

2016, Action, Suspense

Superfluous to the max, this sequel really doesn’t have much to offer you.

2016, Drama, Suspense, Crime, Mystery, Love

It may be a by-the-books thriller for most of it, but Blunt turns in such a performance that you need to watch it.

2016, Drama, History

Bristling with good acting, a good story, and Aaron Eckhart’s mustache.

2009, Drama, Action, Suspense, War

One of the most mesmerizing openings in film, entertaining characters, it’s entertaining but fails to attain the highest status because of plot pacing.

1999, Drama, Action

A possible ideology (one I wouldn’t recommend), a visceral experience, blood-soaked faces, and outstanding acting performances.

2012, Adventure, Fantasy, Drama

A movie that starts strong, but loses the threads of what could have been a very interesting story.

2016, Adventure, Drama, Action

A movie that improves on its predecessor, but only barely.

2016, Action, Comedy, Mystery

Jokes that fall flat, and a topsy turvy plot that relies too much on going “HAHAHA” really loudly.

2004, Adventure, Fantasy, Animation

A movie that instantly became a Christmas classic that shows some signs of aging, but still hits hard emotionally.

1992, Fantasy, Drama, Music, Comedy

A wonderful re-working of a holiday classic that maintains all of the heavy moments of the literature in question while presenting it in an accessible format for children.

1946, Fantasy, Drama

It’s easily a classic, despite scenes that continue to age with time.

2015, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy

So much promise just waiting on the surface of this film that doesn’t quite deliver what it promises.

1994, Drama, Comedy, Love

An average, zany comedy that made me chuckle at times and cringe at others.

2000, Drama, Suspense

Despite an all-star cast, I can’t get behind this explanatory action film.

2007, Adventure, Fantasy, Love

A movie that gets messy, but tries hard in a swashbuckling, lightning pirate sort of way, and inevitably fights its way into your heart.

2016, Horror, Science fiction

I really think that the pacing of the moving was good, and different.

2016, Adventure, Action

If you like a mixed bag, you’ll love this one.

2016, Comedy, War

Tonally a mess, I could never quite figure out what I was watching, and why I still was...

2016, Drama, Comedy, Mystery

I’m as torn on this one as the main characters guys.

2016, Adventure, Fantasy

Neither original nor terribly inspiring, it runs into the boring territory much more often than you would like for a family film.

1995, Drama, Comedy, Love

A mixture of performances, along with a roller coaster of a plot, it can’t help but feel like home at times.
