For a flick about being creative, it's unimaginative
'The Ballad of Wallis Island' Plays a Wonderfully Thoughtful Tune
The Ballad of Wallis Island is a resonant, serene picture whose cast doesn't go to waste.
'Warfare' Delivers in Authenticity
Warfare is simply about an event that's about survival and heroism over a traditional narrative
'A Working Man Works' Well with its Conventions
A Working Man is a clichéd one-liner B-grade movie, and there's nothing wrong with that.
'Snow White' is a Sour Apple
As long as audiences keep paying money for the live-action remakes, Disney will continue to fall into that black hole of trite movies.
'The Alto Knights' is a Tired Conventional Mob Film
The Alto Knights is just another mob movie that's overshadowed by Nicholas Pileggi's previous superior work.
'Out for Deliery' Delivers Laughs that Cut Deep. SXSW wrapup
There's some dark humor to be had here, and I like it.
'Black Bag' is a Savy Examination of Trust
The plot is a little muddled. It was difficult to figure out what was going on at times. Yet, it doesn't hinder an intricate study of what love really is and the strained reliance we have on our protection agencies.

Parthenope is the type of film cinephiles, and people pretending to be cinephiles like to drool all over instead of seeing it for what it really is.
'Love Hurts' is Painfully Dull
Like many logical loopholes the movie takes, Love Hurts lacks whatever sweetness it pretends to have in a disposable film that will be forgotten as fast as a piece of heart candy.
'Heart Eyes' Mostly Delivers on its Laughs and Gore
The movie is laugh-out-loud funny while being fully engrossed in its pleasure for gore.
'Wolf Man' Delivers Some Thought with Its Scares
By making the wolf more of a man, the audience sees something that's tangible and gritty, resulting in something scarier than the typical werewolf pic.
'Den of Thieves 2: Pantera' Can't Crack The Code
The movie's trying to be smart, but it's far from
'Se7en' 4K UHD Has Some Goods in the Box
If you love Se7en and have the newest 4K television with a DTS-HD 5.1 surround home theater, you might be in for a more delightful treat than I had.
'Babygirl' Seduces its Audience. But Not Entirely
