Hellraiser (2022) 68% 1.5/5 EDIT “It takes the most surface-level aspects of the original story and gnarls them into a bloated, forgettable modern horror slog that fumbles the series' mythology.” – Den of Geek Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% 4.5/5 EDIT “Lightyear is maybe the most conventional movie Pixar has ever made, but in a catalog full of high-concept, poetic, borderline art films, this feels like a charming respite.” – Den of Geek Jun 14, 2022 Full Review C'mon C'mon (2021) 94% EDIT “Many of the scenes pull directly from Mills' relationship with his son, making the story authentic.” – PopMatters Jan 3, 2022 Full Review Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% 8/10 EDIT “While No Way Home is but a cog in a larger movie-making machine, it stands on its own as a wonderful third entry in a series that is primed to usher the younger generation of audiences into the future of the ever-expanding MCU.” – PopMatters Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% EDIT “Representation should be the headline-grabber for Eternals, but instead, the conversation around the film will likely focus on how much of a disappointment it is.” – PopMatters Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's a supremely entertaining movie on every level, and the fact that it will likely kick in the door for more Asian superheroes to take center stage in the future (Jubilee, please) is icing on the cake.” – Den of Geek Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) 35% EDIT “This is the kind of summer movie you'd watch on a whim, or perhaps out of sheer boredom, only to be surprised at how legitimately awesome it is.” – Den of Geek Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Mortal Kombat (2021) 55% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's both a loving homage to the arcade classics and a savage, devilishly fun martial arts flick. The film is actually so effective in the latter regard that it transcends the "video game movie" category completely.” – Den of Geek Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Boss Level (2021) 74% 4/5 EDIT “With an extensive background in boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Grillo is more than qualified to star in virtually any action role imaginable and look completely legitimate-because he is.” – Den of Geek Mar 5, 2021 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) 87% EDIT “Stars Rashida Jones and Bill Murray make the material-which is unremarkable on its own and could very well fall flat in less capable hands-sing.” – PopMatters Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Black Christmas (2019) 41% 3/5 EDIT “Because conversations of toxic masculinity and on campus rape culture have become more prevalent at schools across the country, the scenario is inherently more volatile and socially relevant now than it was 45 years ago.” – Den of Geek Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) 91% 8/10 EDIT “Spider-Man: Far From Home is arguably the cutest, funniest, most entertaining comic book superhero movie of the year.” – PopMatters Jul 5, 2019 Full Review Resolution (2012) 81% 6.1/10 EDIT “Though Resolution has some significant flaws, it's important that films like it get made and that filmmakers like Moorehead and Benson continue to aim high and take chances.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Kings of Summer (2013) 76% 6.8/10 EDIT “The cast's spot-on performances are worth the price of admission, but I can't help but think how great the film could have been, if only it were more comfortable in its own skin.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Someone I Used to Know (2012) 6.8/10 EDIT “Someone I Used to Know is a fun watch, but only a so-so example of the talky subgenre.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Red Flag (2012) 74% 6.3/10 EDIT “Though the premise of Red Flag is meta by nature, at the end of the day it amounts to little more than a decently entertaining yet largely dispensable road trip movie.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Ghastly Love of Johnny X (2012) 7.9/10 EDIT “What makes this film work is the passion Paul Bunnell injects into it; he obviously loves and is a connoisseur of the genres he pays homage to.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Attack (2012) 86% 8.2/10 EDIT “The lasting images Doueiri conjures are what I ultimately took with me after all was said and done, and the droning, ambient electronic music he pairs with the visuals adds a surprising amount of tension and mood.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Cutoff Man (2012) 7.1/10 EDIT “While Gabi's story easily could have been told as a short film, the added length helps the emotional heft of his plight sink in deep.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Stories We Tell (2012) 94% 8.8/10 EDIT “It's thrilling, with emotional highs and lows that are intensified by the fact that we're watching real people-a real family-have their world shaken and turned upside-down.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Simon Killer (2012) 77% 9/10 EDIT “A raw, primal film that will leave you emotionally and psychologically stripped. Though a feeling of unease and dissonance pervades it, its cinematic elements are immaculate.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Short Term 12 (2013) 98% 8.7/10 EDIT “Short Term 12 lives and breathes true reality onto the movie screen better than most documentaries can.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Where We Grew Up (2012) 7.1/10 EDIT “Rue Mandar isn't going to win any awards for creativity or innovation in storytelling, but it introduces a bit of wickedness and morbidity into the family dramedy formula that gives it more resonance.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Populaire (2012) 72% 6.7/10 EDIT “Despite a painful lack of narrative originality, Populaire's peppy charm, game cast, and spectacular bubblegum imagery save the day and make it fun, at least.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Out in the Dark (2012) 79% 7.2/10 EDIT “Out in the Dark creates an atmospheric sense of tension that soaks into every scene, but what's slightly lacking here are surprises.” – Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 Full Review
