3/5	61%	Dean (2017)	While the movie feels every bit like the work of a first-time filmmaker, there's enough good stuff here to suggest that Martin has a promising future beyond the stage. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 1, 2017
3.5/5	93%	Wonder Woman (2017)	Filled with the kind of humor and earnestness that [the last couple DC films] were criticized for lacking, Wonder Woman is an absolute joy to watch, thanks in large part to its two leads. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 1, 2017
2.5/5	31%	King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017)	Legend of the Sword has plenty of great moments, but the sum of those parts is disappointingly mediocre. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted May 11, 2017

3.5/5	93%	Hidden Figures (2017)	Hidden Figures is a crowd-pleaser in the purest sense - it's a charming, heartwarming and inspirational tale that skillfully combines light-hearted comedy with racially-charged drama. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 5, 2017
3/5	31%	Passengers (2016)	Passengers is far from perfect ... [but] it's ultimately held together by some imaginative worldbuilding and the chemistry of its two leads. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 20, 2016
3/5	80%	Patriots Day (2017)	Patriots Day could do with a bit more subtlety at times, but it's a well-made if somewhat slight memorial to the victims and their families that embodies the Boston Strong spirit. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 20, 2016
4/5	91%	La La Land (2016)	For a movie about chasing your dreams in a town known for crushing them, La La Land is surprisingly optimistic up until its bittersweet end. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 7, 2016

4/5	74%	Nocturnal Animals (2016)	Like the crime novel at the center of the story, it demonstrates the power that a great piece of fiction can have on you, even one as polarizing and challenging as this. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 17, 2016
3.5/5	89%	Doctor Strange (2016)	Doctor Strange never strays too far from the tried-and-true Marvel formula, but it's not afraid to get a little weird either. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 3, 2016
3.5/5	85%	Hacksaw Ridge (2016)	Hacksaw Ridge isn't as great as some of Gibson's past work, but it's a well-made drama that's bolstered by a superb central performance and the best battle sequences since Saving Private Ryan. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 3, 2016

3.5/5	85%	Sully (2016)	For as conventional and safe as Eastwood plays the human drama ... the movie's gripping reenactment of the crash is a wonderfully staged piece of filmmaking that makes it all worth it. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 8, 2016
2.5/5	44%	Hands of Stone (2016)	Hands of Stone is your typical rise-and-fall redemption story, so aggressively mediocre that Jakubowicz would have been better off taking some risks and failing than to settle for this. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 25, 2016
3/5	60%	War Dogs (2016)	Although it works just fine as a piece of late-summer entertainment, for a movie called War Dogs, it's all bark and no bite. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 18, 2016
4/5	97%	Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)	Kubo and the Two Strings is more than just a return to form for the studio; it's their funniest and finest movie to date - an absolutely delightful fairy tale that will likely go down as one of the year's best. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 18, 2016
2.5/5	88%	Pete's Dragon (2016)	While Lowery's soulful, more character-driven adaptation is a refreshing change of pace from the typical summer film, it never really goes anywhere. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 11, 2016
2.5/5	27%	Suicide Squad (2016)	There's a lot to like about the basic setup, but it's too often hindered by the film's many flaws and surprising conventionality. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 4, 2016

4/5	93%	The Nice Guys (2016)	Although it hits all of the usual beats of a Shane Black feature, The Nice Guys does so with such remarkable efficiency, brimming with witty banter, solid action and even a little heart, that it feels totally fresh. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted May 19, 2016
2.5/5	88%	The Lobster (2016)	While it starts out as a sharp satire on the horrors of dating, The Lobster stretches so far into absurdity that its various eccentricities overshadow the point it's trying to make. - Bullz-Eye.com EDIT Read More \| Posted May 19, 2016
