Movie reviews of Ruth Maramis

The third act is filled with plenty of Godzilla action but it doesn’t feel bombastic or over-the-top. It’s nice to see a Godzilla movie that is so much more than a loud, switch-off-brain type. Review

The script meanders at times and Spiridakis doesn’t always master balancing drama and comedy. Review

Despite the gorgeous animation and colorful visuals, overall it lacks enchantment and that magical touch I expect from this studio. Review

The tone is lighthearted despite some serious subject matter, the humor doesn’t always work and at times comes across as silly and over-the-top. Review

A quiet reflective drama with a slow, deliberate pace that’s far from boring. Review

The Blue Angels is one of the best aviation films that’s thrilling, entertaining, and educational. Review

Miller knows how to stage action scenes, which makes Furiosa a thrill ride with jaw-dropping action from start to finish. Review

To say this is an important film is an understatement. An absolute must-see not just for Australians but every citizen of the world. Review

Despite the flaws, I still had a good time watching Statham brutally beat up and maim a bunch of goons + those unlucky enough to be on his bad side. Review

This is a prime example of a film that uses advanced VFX and filmmaking techniques to enhance storytelling for a spectacular cinematic experience. The depictions of the apes and their world are incredibly realistic. Review

The Fall Guy is a fun popcorn flick to kick off the summer movie season with a jolt of adrenaline. Review

Some people might see some similarities to another indie film Aftersun which is a father-daughter relationship, but I find this one to be much more emotionally resonant. Review

I enjoyed this movie tremendously, it’s engaging, sweet, and genuinely funny from start to finish. Review

I find this one to be disconcerting and fails to connect in a profound way. Still, it was worth a look just for Seydoux alone who remains watchable no matter which period she’s in. Review

Thelma is a riotous crowd-pleaser, one of the best comedy heist flicks I’ve seen in a while. It’s thigh-snappingly funny but also heartwarming. Review

While the movie is not perfect, there are plenty of things to love and appreciate in The Movie Teller. Review

Ritchie’s underrated The Covenant has a solemn weight to it, but this action romp is more akin to Rocknrolla and Snatch, but fortunately more enjoyable than Operation Fortune. Review

The Greatest Hits doesn’t always hit the right notes but it’s enjoyable enough to pass for a weekend viewing that makes you reminisce on one’s favorite song that holds a particularly nostalgic power. Review

Props to Buscemi for tackling such a deceptively simple story with such raw emotional candor and poignancy. Review

The Beautiful Game isn’t impervious to some schmaltzy, cliched moments and at over 2 hours long, it could use a much tighter editing. Overall though, this is an uplifting sports drama with a redemptive message and that friendhip is much more valuable than winning. Review

Colman and Buckley are wonderful to watch as always, but Vasan’s performance is memorable as well. For a movie with so many nasty words being written and spoken, there’s benevolence and grace that reverberate in this movie and it also ends on a hopeful note that leaves a sweet aftertaste. Review

It’s one heck of a story that makes for a wildly entertaining watch. Review

The movie can be silly and corny at times, but Nicholson is so hilarious and the writing so snappy it’s just so darn entertaining. Review

A coming-of-age story mixed with a right-to-die theme which feels a bit unbalanced at times, but the film manages to be quite engaging despite the uneven tone. Review
