Movie reviews of David Whitley

Offbeat comedic mind of Taika Waititi mixes with Sam Neill and a young child. Review

The reboot/remake I was worried about is actually pretty good. Review

This 80s throwback about a VHS board game is a fun time full of nostalgia. Review

Boring, implausible, and ultimately fairly useless. Review

Taut and tight, this new horror will have you on the edge of your seat. Review

The movie is a great ride. It’s laugh out loud funny... Review

A faithful King adaptation that fumbles at the close (but then, so did the author). Review

A terrific thriller with a message that you can’t miss. The film is terrifically acted, well-written, and beautifully shot. Review

Slow burning and tense from the start to the finish. Review

A sadly oft-repeated premise that lands with more “thuds” than “splats”. Review

An interesting blend of vampires and found footage. Review

Maddening in a thought provoking way. Review

A great script and great performances end up bogged down by the movie’s run time. Review

Absolutely batty and kind of glorious at the same time. Review

A bit pretentious, but still beautiful in its way. Review

A waste of a good atmosphere. Review

Terrible. Just terrible. Review

Not enough of any one element to make it worthwhile, and filled with almost all the science fictions clichés. Review

Honestly not nearly as bad as you may be afraid of. Review

Heady, provocative science fiction. Review

A deep dive into the exploration of power dynamics within a relationship. Review

Timely and political, Marvel has another hit on its hands. Review

A wonderful performance by Oldman goes a bit unheralded in this biopic. Review

Beautifully rendered and intensely edited, this is a wonderfully new coming of age story. Review
