Movie reviews of Jeremy Lebens

Teeters on the edge of charming and downright creepy in a way that's admirable,... Review

Faithful fans will be disappointed and newcomers won't find anything of value. Review

A wooden Vin Diesel performance and too many telegraphed surprises. It shows imagination, but lacks in execution. Review

Haunting and atmospheric, full of rich visuals and ghostly imagery. Review

Good old-fashioned monster movie fun for all ages, with a splash of comedy for good measures. Review

Lacks certain depth, but makes up for it with its handful of Oscar-worthy performances... Review

A tense and topical drama, swirling in controversy and backed by two magnetic performances from Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon. Review

Succeeds thanks to Villeneuve's beautifully haunting direction and a trio of complex performances. Review

Smart, big and bold in ways that we haven't seen in quite some time. Review

A dazzling production that demands to be seen in IMAX 3D thanks to its larger-than-life visuals and spectacular camerawork... Review

Not a good movie by any means, but it is one of Roth's better projects as of late. Review

Not as fresh and exciting as the first film, but a worthwhile sequel none the less. Review

The real-life story that it's based on helps create tragic drama that's only heightened by the film's ensemble cast... Review

A cold and heartless mobster flick, starring Johnny Depp in his most ruthless performance yet. Review

Not full of jump-scares or gore and instead it gets by with its clever twists and bizarre performances. Review

A flashy and drug-infused coming-of-age story that boasts decent performances, but crumbles under the weight of its predictable and cliche-ridden script. Review

Brutal and raw, written with a strong focus on its very human characters. Review

Feels rather bland and repetitive for an action film. It's a mixed bag of brainless entertainment. Review

A complex biopic, detailing the lives of popular rap group N.W.A. in a way that sheds new light on the men behind the music... Review

A cool and crafty Bond film without a 007 agent. Review

A much more character-focused reboot, nailing the hard sci-fi tone and becoming one of the most engaging comic book movies ever... Review

A well-acted and perfectly paced thriller that keeps you guessing constantly... Review

A low-key self-contained drama that gets points for script creativity and authentic performances... Review

A globe-trotting adventure, with Cruise and company continuing to thrill and entertain... Review
