‘Promising Young Woman’ Review

‘Promising Young Woman’ Review

Every once in a while, a film comes along that blows the doors clear off the building. It could be a dazzling technical accomplishment that catches the eye and betwixt the soul. It could be a bravura acting setpiece that features one performer...

‘Soul’ Review

‘Soul’ Review

It’s always fun to see a studio paint themselves into an inescapable corner. I don’t mean that they’ve narratively screwed up and reached convolution – I mean seeing someone so desperate to outdo their own impressive resume that they set...

‘Class Action Park’ Review

‘Class Action Park’ Review

There’s a unique aura that surrounds the infamous Action Park, the New Jersey-based water park founded by shamed Wall Street guru Gene Mulvihill in the late 70s. The story truly has everything, especially if you’re a cynic like me: Wall Street...

‘Onward’ Review

‘Onward’ Review

Whenever the name “Pixar” enters the picture, it’s hard not to approach a film with a certain sense of expectation. After all, Pixar is essentially synonymous with quality at this point. However, whether the film is a hit (Toy Story, Inside Out)...

‘Mank’ Review

‘Mank’ Review

It’s something of a fool’s errand, trying to make a movie about the greatest movie of all time. There’s a reason Citizen Kane holds that title; while it often feels like homework to watch a film everyone and their mother calls “Important and...

‘Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)’ Review

‘Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)’ Review

The DCEU has been a roller coaster since the start. After trying to make a name for themselves by being the “serious” comic book adaptation (and failing miserably), they finally found their footing as the “Here’s Some Money, Do Whatever” studio...

‘Dick Johnson Is Dead’ Review

‘Dick Johnson Is Dead’ Review

For the first time since implementing the rule, I have come to regret my long-held belief that documentary filmmaking is a completely different artform than traditional cinema. It’s not meant as a snobby rule – I just believe that...

‘Fatman’ Review

‘Fatman’ Review

While I am always a proponent of Hollywood getting its freak on, there is such a thing as too weird. It’s damn hard to hit – after all, cinephiles are willing to crawl around inside John Malkovich’s mind or watch Nicolas Cage and John...

‘Emma.’ Review

‘Emma.’ Review

I am not a fan of Jane Austen. I feel it is important to open this review with that announcement. While I respect Austen’s ability to craft witty parables satirizing the ridiculousness of the über-rich, I often find she continuously writes the...

‘Shadow In The Cloud’ Review (AFI Fest Review)

‘Shadow In The Cloud’ Review (AFI Fest Review)

You know, not every movie needs to be made, guys. Sometimes it’s better to take the L than to waste everyone’s time with pure dogsh*t. Director Roseanne Liang and star Chloë Grace Moretz understandably wanted to upend both the war and horror...

‘Tenet’ Review

‘Tenet’ Review

The popular meme is that Christopher Nolan makes smart movies for dumb people – that is to say, that his movies have a faux-intellectual quality that makes the average cinemagoer feel like a genius for “getting” them. There may be some truth to...

‘Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga’ Review

‘Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga’ Review

Big, brassy studio comedies have been a dying breed as of late. The best ones flop miserably, and the worst ones have fifteen minutes of fame before falling into a forgotten void. For this reason, I tend to avoid them like the plague, and it was...
