Movie reviews of David Whitley

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

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

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

Boring, implausible, and ultimately fairly useless.

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

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

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

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

Slow burning and tense from the start to the finish.

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

An interesting blend of vampires and found footage.

Maddening in a thought provoking way.

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

Absolutely batty and kind of glorious at the same time.

A bit pretentious, but still beautiful in its way.

A waste of a good atmosphere.

Terrible. Just terrible.

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

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

Heady, provocative science fiction.

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

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

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

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