Movie Reviews
Mortal Engines Review: Peter Jackson's Mad Max is Surprisingly Bland
Mortal Engines has some terrific world design and visuals, but its uninspired narrative and ungainly filmmaking make for a hollow viewing experience.
The Quake Review: The Wave Gets a Worthy Sequel
The Quake doesn't break the mold for natural disaster thrillers but, like The Wave, its humanist approach to the genre is refreshing and engaging.
Roma Review: Alfonso Cuarón Brings Memories to Striking Cinematic Life
Yet another impressive technical accomplishment for Cuarón, Roma explores the filmmaker's memories of childhood in a truly immersive and vivid manner.
Once Upon A Deadpool Review: Deadpool Works OK In PG-13
Once Upon A Deadpool proves the foul-mouthed anti-hero can work in the confines of PG-13, but it only kind of works as a re-cut version of Deadpool 2.
Ben is Back Review: Julia Roberts Made a Drug Addiction Drama Too
Buoyed by the affecting performances from Julia Roberts and Lucas Hedges, Ben is Back makes for a compelling (though uneven) exploration of addiction.
Dumplin' Review: Netflix & Dolly Parton Deliver Fantastic YA Drama
Netflix's Dumplin' has an emotionally impactful message of self-acceptance, wrapped in a charming coming-of-age story & steeped in Dolly Parton music.
The Favourite Review: Royal Court Drama Gets The Lobster Treatment
Armed with Lanthimos' trademark weirdness and three great lead performances, The Favourite is a truly unique spin on the typical royal court drama.
Asher Review: Ron Perlman Can't Be The Next John Wick
Asher tries to get by on the talent of its leads, but it's a dull thriller hamstrung by sloppy pacing and a poorly-constructed screenplay.
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle Review: A Dark, Visually Stunning Adaptation
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is a darker adaptation of Kipling's stories, with stunning visual feats from director Andy Serkis and an impactful story.
Prodigy Review: Spiritual Drama Delivers Mixed Results
Prodigy plays with some big ideas and heady themes, but doesn't fully develop all of them as it struggles to truly connect with audiences.
Green Book Review: Driving Dr. Shirley
Green Book is a delightful and inspiring story fueled by terrific performances by its leads, a sharp screenplay, and deft direction.
Ralph Breaks the Internet Review: Disney's Sequel Is Far From a Wreck
Ralph Breaks the Internet is bigger and more heartfelt, with some fun Disney nostalgia, but its story gets lost in the online setting at times.
Creed II Review: Adonis Still Knows How to Pack a Punch
Creed II is a meaningful and poignant continuation of the Creed/Rocky films, even though it doesn't scale the same artistic heights as its precursor.
Robin Hood (2018) Review: Taron Egerton Elevates This Modern Retelling
Robin Hood modernizes the classic story with some new ideas that don't always work, but the tale of an outlaw hero is buoyed by Taron Egerton's charm.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Review: The Coens Hit Notes High & Low
Certain segments are far more engaging than others, but overall The Ballad of Buster Scruggs makes for an intriguing piece of anthology storytelling.
Instant Family Review: Marky Mark and The Feel-Good Bunch
Instant Family is feel-good entertainment that has a big heart, plenty of laughs, and raises awareness about serious subject matter.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Review - Needs More Magic
The Crimes of Grindelwald has its moments of wonder and delight, but gets bogged down in its efforts to build out the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
Widows Review: Steve McQueen Masters the Art of the Thriller
Widows masterfully blends high-art craftsmanship with a sharply drawn pulpy narrative to deliver a crime flick that's equally smart and entertaining.
The Girl in the Spider's Web Review: A Lackluster Franchise Reboot
The Girl in the Spider's Web is a generic franchise revival hamstrung by an uninspired story and poor character development.
