| 3/5 | 63% | 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

| 3.5/5 | 92% | 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

| 2/5 | 23% | Table 19 (2017) |
A relatively uneventful and humorless affair, although one that's made somewhat watchable by the casting of Anna Kendrick in the lead role.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2.5/5 | 35% | The Great Wall (2017) |
Although [The Great Wall] boasts some fantastic visuals and rousing action ... it's ultimately pretty forgettable.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 3.5/5 | 89% | John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) |
John Wick: Chapter 2 doubles down on everything that made the first movie so enjoyable ... resulting in the rare sequel that's bigger and better as well.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 3/5 | 43% | Gold (2017) |
McConaughey is such a compelling presence ... that "Gold" just about gets by on his performance alone.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 3.5/5 | 92% | 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

| 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

|
| 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

|
| 4/5 | 93% | 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

| 4/5 | 96% | Manchester by the Sea (2016) |
Manchester by the Sea will almost certainly go down as the most devastating, heart-wrenching drama of 2016.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2.5/5 | 55% | Rules Don't Apply (2016) |
Rules Don't Apply is a clumsy and tonally uneven period piece... that suggests Beatty should have stuck to retirement.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 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

|
| 3.5/5 | 90% | 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

|
| 3.5/5 | 87% | 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

| 3/5 | 98% | Moonlight (2016) |
An important and affecting piece of LGBT cinema that comes at a time when the world (and especially this nation) needs more stories like it.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2.5/5 | 52% | The Accountant (2016) |
This could have been the most original and emotionally engaging action movie since The Bourne Identity, but it doesn't quite add up to the sum of its parts.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 3/5 | 84% | Deepwater Horizon (2016) |
It works just fine as a dramatic reenactment of corporate greed gone horribly wrong, but unlike the real-life incident, it will quickly be forgotten.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 3/5 | 63% | The Magnificent Seven (2016) |
It's not exactly magnificent, but it's a slick and entertaining take on a familiar tale that's bursting with personality. ‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 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

| 2.5/5 | 45% | 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

|
| 3/5 | 59% | 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

|
| 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

| 2.5/5 | 87% | 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

|
| 2.5/5 | 25% | 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
Read More | Posted Aug 4, 2016
|
| 2/5 | 58% | Bad Moms (2016) |
Bad Moms is an R-rated raunch-com that's surprisingly short on both raunch and comedy.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 3/5 | 99% | Don't Think Twice (2016) |
Don't Think Twice continues Birbiglia's impressive form with a funny and poignant alternative from the typical studio comedy.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2.5/5 | 73% | Ghostbusters (2016) |
The film isn't without its charms ... but it's never allowed to completely be its own thing.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2/5 | 35% | The Legend of Tarzan (2016) |
The Legend of Tarzan (R) is as soulless as the registered trademark symbol that appears on the opening title card.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 2.5/5 | 55% | The Purge: Election Year (2016) |

| 2/5 | 28% | Warcraft (2016) |
Any hope that Warcraft would be the first great video game adaptation is promptly squashed within the opening 30 minutes, and it only gets worse from there.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2.5/5 | 38% | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) |
The sequel still isn't as good as the series is capable of delivering, but it's a mildly entertaining diversion that shows signs of improvement.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 3/5 | 77% | Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) |
Not every joke lands ... but Popstar does just enough to keep you entertained with its cavalcade of musician cameos and a great lead performance by Samberg.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 4/5 | 92% | 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

|
| 2.5/5 | 89% | 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

| 3/5 | 77% | Keanu (2016) |
An enjoyable and often hilarious action-comedy that serves as the perfect showcase for Key and Peele's excellent onscreen chemistry.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2/5 | 61% | High-Rise (2016) |
[The film] isn't unlike the titular building itself: it looks great on the surface, but the deeper you dig, the more problems you uncover.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

| 2/5 | 50% | Hardcore Henry (2016) |
Hardcore Henry is definitely hardcore - an adrenaline-fueled, ultra-violent, one-of-a-kind experience that stands as the closest thing to a live-action video game that you'll ever see. Too bad it's not any good.‐ Bullz-Eye.com

|
| 3/5 | 52% | Demolition (2016) |
Though it's a refreshingly honest look at coming to terms with the death of a loved one, without Gyllenhaal in the lead role, Demolition wouldn't be nearly as memorable.‐ Bullz-Eye.com
