Movie Reviews
Isn't It Romantic Review: A Hilarious Sendup of Romantic Comedies
Isn't It Romantic is a wild and hilarious meta journey inside a romantic comedy, poking fun at the genre's tropes while embracing its message of love.
Happy Death Day 2U Review: Back to the Future Time Loop
Happy Death Day 2U adds a genre twist to the series' formula, delivering a sequel that's funnier, sillier, and more entertaining than the first movie.
Cold Pursuit Review: Liam Neeson Delivers Decent Thrills
Cold Pursuit makes for an entertaining subversion of Neeson's previous action roles, but the story gets dragged down in its larger ambitions.
The Prodigy Review: Not Another (Okay) Evil Kid Movie
The Prodigy is an often chilling and disturbing - if not particularly meaningful or impactful - horror movie weighed down its by derivative plot.
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot Review: Sam Elliott's a Hero
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot spins a wobbly and idiosyncratic American myth held together by Elliott's quietly moving performance.
What Men Want Review: Taraji P. Henson Elevates This Genderbent Remake
What Men Want is a solid comedy, in which Taraji P. Henson shines as the star, that also manages to somewhat compellingly explore bias against women.
High Flying Bird Review: Soderbergh Still Doesn't Play By the Rules
High Flying Bird doesn't quite manage to change 'the game' but, under Soderbergh and McCraney's guidance, it certainly makes an entertaining go at it.
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Review - This Sequel Is Awesome
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is another imaginative adventure, building off the first film in inventive ways, and a blast for viewers of any age.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly Review - Broly v Goku: Dawn of Super Saiyan
Dragon Ball Super: Broly's dense mythology isn't necessarily accessible to newcomers, but it delivers dazzling Saiyan action worthy of the big screen.
Miss Bala Review: Gina Rodriguez Leads A Tense Action-Thriller
Gina Rodriguez is an empowering, if reluctant hero in Miss Bala, offering a fascinating star turn in Hardwicke's skillfully wrought action thriller.
Velvet Buzzsaw Review: Modern Art Gets the Final Destination Treatment
While it has a game cast and offers some fun twists on typical horror-thriller scenarios, Velvet Buzzsaw makes for a relatively hollow satire.
Piercing Review: Mia Wasikowska Shines in Slick, Shallow Throwback
Piercing is a stylish exercise in retro horror-thriller filmmaking, but its stabs (no pun intended) at something deeper are mostly ineffective.
Serenity Review: McConaughey's Noir Drama Goes Off the Deep End
Though its big ideas don't work, Serenity's narrative miscalculations result in some pretty entertaining - if completely unintentional - comedy.
The Kid Who Would Be King Review: Joe Cornish Delivers A Modern King Arthur Story
Joe Cornish's The Kid Who Would Be King is a stylish and earnest modern retelling of the King Arthur story that's fun for the whole family.
Glass Review: Shyamalan's Superhero Trilogy Finale is One Weird Beast
Glass concludes Shyamalan's superhero movie trilogy in a manner that manages to be absorbing, frustrating, and bewildering at the same time.
Replicas Review: Keanu Can't Find the Ghost in the Machine
It has some promising elements, but on the whole Replicas is a campy sci-fi movie that's more likely to elicit unintended laughs than anything else.
A Dog's Way Home Review: More Manipulative Than a Box Full of Puppies
A Dog's Way Home is a fine family-friendly adventure about man's best friend, hitting the same emotional chords as (better) movies that came before.
Escape Room Review: Get a Clue, Set Up the Next Movie
Escape Room is an entertainingly cheesy and surprisingly innovative B-movie, but suffers when it turns its attention to setting up future sequels.
On the Basis of Sex Review: RBG Gets a Respectably Formulaic Memoir
On the Basis of Sex is more compelling as a history lesson than a film, but makes for a relevant dramatization of Ginsburg's experiences all the same.
