From the World of John Wick: Ballerina continues the tradition of a forgettable story that offers plenty of amazing action.
'The Phoenician Scheme'-Wes Anderson Finally Makes a Good One Again
For a Wes Anderson film, this movie is mediocre. As a general comedy, it's a laugh riot that towers above others in its genre. It's not just style over substance. Unfortunately, some of that substance is wrapped in a plot that has too much scheming, even for its title.
'The Life of Chuck' is a Unique Look into Death Until It Isn't
There is a profound existentialism to be found in half of the picture, while the other half beats the same point of meaning over the audience's head like a hammer.
'Karate Kid: Legends' is Legendarily Forgettable
Karate Kid: Legends is a lazy, rushed mess that fails to capture the magic the original Karate Kid contained, not to mention Netflix's Cobra Kai.
'Bring Her Back' Shocks to Mixed Effects.
After Talk to Me and this movie, I'd like to see if the Philippous have something other than a shock fest up their sleeves for the next film. Or are they just a one-trick pony? So far, they've proved me wrong. But not completely.
'Jane Austen Wrecked My Life' is an Enjoyable Dive into Literature's Reader Influence
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is a movie not only about the love of literature but how our perceptions of such books can complicate our lives.
'Lilo & Stitch' is a Dull Success
As a simple, fun movie for children, Lilo & Stitch fits the bill. For adults, it's not worth rewatching.
'Final Destination Bloodlines' is Delightfully Sick
Stefeni says in the movie, "You don't f**k with Death's plans." Or something like that. She's not lying. Nobody is safe in this movie.
Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning is Familiar Classic Hollywood Fun
Once the adrenaline has worn off, you might begin to notice just how overly similar MI8 is to all the other films.
'Friendship' is the Funniest Tragedy of the Year
The film works so well because it leaves us (or maybe just me) feeling conflicted about Craig.
'Sorry, Baby's' Excellence Has Nothing to be Sorry About
Sorry, Baby, is a beautiful representation of the power of human connection
'Fight or Flight' Soars
Fight or Flight is a B movie starring an A-list actor, and it couldn't have worked any better.
'White with Fear' Exposes America's Dark Side
Andrew Goldberg's White with Fear is a multilayered film that brilliantly depicts what's wrong with our country.
'Another Simple Favor' Twists itself into a Knot
The ending isn't only stupid, but it also changes the events from the first film through lazy screenwriting.
Thunderbolts* Strikes Some Much Needed Lightning
After so many stinkers in a row, it's nice to see a Marvel film that ditches the typical villain of the week formula.
'The Shrouds' is a Flawed Yet Unique Insight into Death
It may not be Cronenberg's best work, but it still stands as a memorable picture due to its dark bizarreness.
'The Legend of Ochi' is Aesthetically Incredible But Narratively Redundant
When initially watching The Legend of Ochi, you can't help but get absorbed in its style.
'On Swift Horses' Races Toward Sentimental Mediocrity
A good love story makes us understand the reason our characters love each other, or find the chemistry between the characters, not just because it's the name for whoever is supposed to make out on the call sheet.
'Andor' is the Best Star Wars We Won't See Again for a VERY Long Time
Instead of making another show with the simple psychology of Empire bad, Rebels good, Tony Gilroy makes a show about the moral gray area of the Rebellion.
'Drop' is as Familiar as an LMN Movie
Drop isn't a pretentious movie. It's more like a B film with a slightly higher budget and colorful cinematography that's a disappointing bore.
