Movie reviews of George Wolf

Serves up some majestic scenery and a nifty crash sequence, but settles for Sparks meets Castaway.

A film that certainly could have dug for a deeper message, but delivers plenty of fun while it romps in the shallow end.

Wins by serving up both a crowd-pleasing spectacle and the human drama than ultimately made it so much more.

Weinstein tenderly probes faith, family, and the sacrifices necessary to hold on to what’s most important to you.

Settles for a well-assembled summary of gut-wrenching events.

Still succeeds in its mission: elevating the status of a talent that has long deserved elevating.

These boys are still good fun, and so is The Trip to Spain.

Goon was an underdog winner. Last of the Enforcers earns the penalty box.

What Patti Cake$ lacks in originality is made up in creative spirit, because like Patti, Jasper is a talent dreaming big.

Finds a delicate balance in its travels, one that understands the allure of a volatile facade.

As deeply as it cuts on a blunt, visceral level, Whose Streets? also benefits from a powerfully subtle context.

Has smarts, charm and some downright weirdness.

Mooney delivers a surprisingly touching performance...

The result will be appreciated only by the youngest viewers who just like watching the silly animals.

Not a pleasant film, but it is necessary.

The sermon is damned persuasive and the man has earned it.

It’s rarely more than amusing, the visuals can’t rise above average, and the “be true to yourself” mantra is entirely generic.

A poetic, moving testament to the certainty of time, the inevitability of death and the timeless search for connection.

Some of it is screamingly funny, and other times the film falls flat.

Can it dust off some well-worn genre tropes and entertain? Ten-four.

While Maud’s talent and ingenuity are in focus, and we see her rise above those who would cast her off as nothing but a burden, Maudie‘s spirit soars.

A bland if competently made screamer for the not-ready-for-R set.

A completely satisfying conclusion to a stellar group of prequels.

At times hilarious, sweet, emotional and even heartbreaking...
