Movie reviews of Derrick Carter

A mixed bag in every way.

An interesting and intelligent science-fiction flick adapted from a young adult novel...

An interesting, at points funny, and wholly insightful film...

A perfect noir that stands as a cinematic landmark of sorts.

Pitch-black humor and a good atmosphere also keep this from being a bad flick...

There’s a fun pieces of slapstick here or there and some jokes are legitimately funny.

A rollicking adventure that stands the test of time!

A blast of intergalactic fun that I will revisit many times in the future.

Takes a fairly ordinary chunk of somebody’s life and transforms it into a special creation.

Still stands as ridiculous fun, but younger viewers are likely to enjoy it more than adults.

One of the better horror films I’ve seen this year and I dug many things about it.

Feels like a bad attempt at a worthwhile picture.

Completely unpredictable every step of the way.

A silly flick that suffered from an identity crisis.

A miserable and aggravating experience.

Bland, boring, and lazy.

There are definitely flaws, mainly in some bad characters and worse acting, but I had a good time...

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere have great chemistry together, but their individual plot threads are shaky at best.

Trashy fun and guilty pleasure are the best things I can say about Turbulence.

Subversive, witty, and all-around ridiculous...

A decent film, but suffers from messy storytelling in front of and behind the camera.

An intelligent, carefully constructed summer blockbuster...

Will live on forever as it is a work of pure imagination!

Comes off an annoying, worthless exercise in self-indulgence that’s nothing short of hateable.
