Movie reviews of David Whitley

A movie that is beginning to falter under the weight of its special effects and its plotlines.

Fun, with a terrific set of antogonists, you slowly start to feel a bit overwhelmed by it all.

With terrific acting between Depp and Rush, as well as incredibly original characters, and skilled pivoting between the moments that matter.

Michael Caine turns in an insane performance in this lost forgotten movie of the 1980s.

Beginning to show signs of the drinking that plagued him, Flynn somehow still buoys up this picture from being the complete mess it should have been.

Still an exemplary pirate movie, it will forever be a standard to which I hold the swashbuckling genre.

This fever dream of a Michael Bay film has tons of highlights despite being messy and having nonsense throughout.

A killer mirror movie (ummmm) that somehow turns out scarier than you expect.

A decent addition to the new HP series – it never approaches the series at its height, but is serviceable throughout.

Comedy at a full-blown tilt.

A decent idea with a terrible amount of red herrings and false thrills.

One relentless chase scene, with strong memorable characters and excellent musical performances.

Never generates the tension it so desperately needs, this thriller consistently lingers on characters incessantly.

Coming across as completely unnecessary, this film stars the David O. Russell trio once more as they try to keep the movie relevant.

Desperately needing some emotion that doesn’t feel stale and overused.

Falling short of all it could have been, this film rides its stars charisma to being eternally average.

It’s got some good action, good humor, an easy, recognizable story, and a great score.

This Spielbergian science fiction film features beautiful filming, wonderful acting, but few answers.

Bad. Just… Bad.

Gleefully manic, this film will have you riding the edge and laughing out loud.

This “Tale as Old as Time” feels that way in this clunky remake.

An example of a fairy tale that dares to think further than the source.

A completely forgettable (see what I did there) film destined to play on the Lifetime network for weeks.

One of the original team up movies predicating all the superhero team ups we currently have today.
