Movie reviews of David Whitley

2004, Suspense, Mystery

Johnny Depp gives an amazing turn as a writer who may or may not be mad.

2017, Horror, Suspense, Mystery

Effectively scary, but ultimately empty film that continues the strong showing from the Conjuring universe.

2013, Adventure, Action, Comedy, Science fiction

The terror hits my house on a warm summer night in July.

2010, Drama, Horror, Suspense

As far from the Hollywood sensationalism that brackets it during DFP’s shark week, this one stands alone.

1999, Action, Suspense, Science fiction

Sharks have never been smarter than in this movie.

2016, Adventure, Fantasy, Animation, Comedy

Outrageous, frequently hilarious, the first half momentum slows down to ramp up to a completely ridiculous finish.

2017, Adventure, Action, Science fiction

A movie that coasts on the visual expectations of a film from Luc Besson, creator of the cult classic The Fifth Element.

1984, Drama, History

Bold, brash, humorous and colorful – just like you would expect the music of a master to be.

1940, Drama, Horror, Suspense, Science fiction, Mystery

Academy Award winning special effects and a solid voice performance by a young Vincent Price buoys this sequel into rare territory.

1933, Horror, Suspense, Science fiction

The most forgotten and yet the most humorous of the Universal monster movies.

1963, Adventure, Action, Comedy, Crime

Featuring nearly every famous comedian of the times, this movie is one of the best comedies ever made.

1964, Horror, Science fiction

Relying heavily on one of the most charismatic horror stars, this novel adaptation succeeds in ways that the newer versions failed.

1931, Horror, Science fiction

Terrific acting, coupled with special effects that were revolutionary for the time, leads a movie that is a must see for any horror/film fan.

1962, Horror, Mystery

A mixed bag between terrifically open and lonesome camera shots and some acting that is varied throughout.

2017, Drama, Comedy, Love

Perfectly capturing the awkward balance of love, the courting of a significant other’s parents, and how life is full of side plots.

2017, Adventure, Drama, Action, Science fiction

One of the best Spiderman movies out there.

2017, Adventure, Fantasy, Drama, Science fiction

Heavy handed at times, and hilariously relevant at others, this film presents us with a satire of great proportions.

2017, Fantasy, Animation, Action, Comedy

Frantic and full, this iteration of Batman may be one of my favorite Bat films.

2017, Adventure, Action, Comedy, Science fiction

Perfection in the highest – it has humor, heart, charisma, and best of all, a cast and a vision worth watching.

2017, Adventure, Action, Suspense, Science fiction

A movie that is exactly what you expect it to be.

2014, Adventure, Fantasy, Animation, Action, Comedy

Continuing to have heart, but possibly losing some of what made the first one so great.

2010, Adventure, Fantasy, Animation

A visually breathtaking Dreamworks film that brings you in with animation, but keeps you with heart.

2016, Adventure, Action, Crime

Completely missing some of the qualities that made the first one partially enjoyable, this film sinks to the predictable tunes of a sinking sequel.

2012, Drama, Suspense, Crime

A macho masculine performance by Tom Cruise, and some striking sequences throughout the only film barely keep it as watchable.
