The Flash (2023) 63% 3/5 EDIT “The Flash goes down like a sparkling tonic...due to the lively, strong performance of nonbinary actor Ezra Miller, who, personal and legal issues aside, is captivating as Barry Allen, the fastest man alive.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Jun 17, 2023 Full Review M3GAN (2022) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Director Gerard Johnstone pours every ounce of lighter fluid he has at his disposal on the final 30 minutes and simply lights a match. The resulting bonfire is a blazing (and guilty) pleasure to behold.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Jan 7, 2023 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% 2/5 EDIT “The cinematography resembles a warm, cozy commercial for Betty Crocker Cake Mix, and the action is downright messy, a clumsy clutter of over-editing and half-assed punches.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Dec 27, 2021 Full Review The World to Come (2020) 74% 2/5 EDIT “The characters...speak in an affected, irritating manner, tossing out words like "asperity" as though engaged in some kind of crossword battle. It grates on you.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Nora Highland (2020) 80% 5/5 EDIT “There's a carefully planned authenticity to the set-ups. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the remarkable Facetime chat... It's a stunning, almost athletic sequence.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 70% EDIT “Reyes and Davis make fantastic additions, with Davis, resembling a young Robin Wright, flinging open the door to a promising career.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 81% EDIT “Just when you think cinema is getting routine, something like Jojo Rabbit hops along and perks it right back up, reminding us that, indeed, the medium is very often the message.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Working Girls (1986) 92% 4/5 EDIT “” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Aug 27, 2019 Full Review The Kitchen (2019) 24% 1/5 EDIT “The Kitchen won't harm the careers of its stars.... But it should stop the directing career of Andrea Berloff in its tracks.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Toy Story 4 (2019) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Watching the gang...hide the fact that they're living beings coexisting in our world is exhausting. You want them to exclaim, 'We're here! We're dear! Play with us!'” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Aladdin (2019) 57% 2/5 EDIT “Ritchie is a director in constant search of a top to go over.... You wonder if walking open-mouthed through a sandstorm wouldn't be slightly more enjoyable than Aladdin.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) May 24, 2019 Full Review Us (2019) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Jordan Peele has more on his mind than to merely offer up a scary ride. He wants audiences engaged on every possible level. He wants his horror films to mean something.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% 4/5 EDIT “It's not going out on a limb to say Goose the cat is reason enough to see the movie multiple times. But there are other joys in Captain Marvel. An abundance of them.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% 2/5 EDIT “It winks at itself so much, you'd think it had something it its eye.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) 80% 1/5 EDIT “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again aims for the sewage system, where it gleefully cavorts for nearly two stupefying hours.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% 2/5 EDIT “Where Harrison Ford brought humor, sex appeal, and depth to Han Solo, Alden Ehrenreich brings an arched eyebrow, an idiot's grin, and the sex appeal of seaweed.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) May 24, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “But the real heroics come from the team of animators who bring the stop-motion "puppets" to life. They are astonishing, rich, masterfully unique creations.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 91% 5/5 EDIT “The Last Jedi deserves nothing but acclaim, and Johnson, an incredibly adept director, deserves to be handed as many future Star Wars films as he can manage.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Justice League (2017) 39% 2/5 EDIT “For all the money poured into Justice League, the effects have a slapdash, unfinished quality. Perhaps the talented FX people were too busy working on Thor.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Nov 16, 2017 Full Review God's Own Country (2017) 98% 5/5 EDIT “The actors bring the authenticity of first love to the screen in a way that is exceedingly rare for any movie, Hollywood or otherwise.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Blade Runner 2049 is, hands-down, the greatest sequel in the history of cinema.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Alien: Covenant (2017) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “Scott has seen fit to include a gay couple and it's a pleasure to watch how quietly and matter-of-factly they're revealed. They're here. They're queer. They're alien food.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) May 18, 2017 Full Review The Queen (2006) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Helen Mirren gives perhaps her most remarkable performance in an already remarkable career.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Gareth Edwards tries to generate suspense by using well-worn movie cliches that display a lack of imagination and point to the flaws of telling this tale in the first place.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Nocturnal Animals (2016) 74% 4/5 EDIT “In only his second motion picture...Ford exhibits a flair for detail and narrative drive that often daunts the most accomplished filmmakers.” – Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Nov 18, 2016 Full Review
