Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) 96% EDIT “Daniel Kaluuya delivers a riveting performance as Fred Hampton and is bound to garner serious award consideration.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Big Time Adolescence (2019) 86% EDIT “Although Pete Davidson is a talented comedian and skilled improviser, writer/director Jason Orley doesn't give him much to work with. His character seems overly obnoxious and underwritten” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews May 27, 2020 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 81% EDIT “'Jojo Rabbit' succeeds because of filmmaker Waititi's decision to make his portrayal of Adolf Hitler as comedic and chaotic as possible to counterbalance scenes depicting intense hatred, prejudice and drama.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Dec 4, 2019 Full Review The Kindergarten Teacher (2018) 90% EDIT “'The Kindergarten Teacher' succeeds in spite of its dark and disturbing subject matter because of Maggie Gyllenhaal's brilliant performance in the title role.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Feb 28, 2019 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% EDIT “'First Man' soars because of Damien Chazelle's painstaking attention to detail, extensive research, casting choices and ability to show audiences a side of Neil Armstrong they haven't previously encountered.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Oct 7, 2018 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% EDIT “Writer/director Bo Burnham has created characters, scenes, and dialogue that will instantly resonate with both adults and teens. Plus, Elsie Fisher delivers a flawless performance in the lead role.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Aug 17, 2018 Full Review Goosebumps (2015) 78% EDIT “None of the CGI rendered ghouls and assorted creatures look convincing.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Feb 26, 2016 Full Review The Peanuts Movie (2015) 87% EDIT “'The Peanuts Movie' captures the very essence of Charles M. Schulz's legendary comic strip, including the characters as well as his wit, style and tenderness.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Nov 9, 2015 Full Review The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) 95% EDIT “The considerable strength of this drama lies with writer/director Marielle Heller and her wise choice to cast relatively unknown British theater actress Bel Powley in the lead role.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Vacation (2015) 27% EDIT “Too much time gets wasted on inside jokes about the previous National Lampoon's Vacation movies in addition to an endless stream of gross-out humor and gags that don't work.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Aug 7, 2015 Full Review What If (2013) 73% EDIT “Elan Mastai's screenplay comes across as consistenty funny. His characters are quirky and their situation seems easy to relate to.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Jan 6, 2015 Full Review St. Vincent (2014) 78% EDIT “Bill Murray delivers an award-worthy performance in this thoroughly entertaining film.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Oct 25, 2014 Full Review The Lone Ranger (2013) 31% EDIT “Approximately half-way through the on-screen antics, the movie morphs into a fantasy. At that point, one's suspended disbelief rapidly loses most of its suspension.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Sep 18, 2014 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% EDIT “The films pacing seems incredibly slow.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews May 9, 2014 Full Review Grudge Match (2013) 31% EDIT “I never bought Stallone and De Niro as arch enemies harboring a 30-year grudge, let alone as former professional boxers.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Apr 18, 2014 Full Review Muppets Most Wanted (2014) 80% EDIT “Smart, funny, and engaging from start to finish.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Mar 22, 2014 Full Review Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) 81% EDIT “Director Rob Minkoff, perhaps best known for his adaptation of 'Stuart Little,' provides solid and fast-paced direction throughout 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman.'” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Mar 21, 2014 Full Review Pitch Perfect (2012) 81% EDIT “Director Moore displays an uncanny ability to bring quirky characters to life. He understands how to depict an obsession with a cappella without making fun of the art itself.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Oct 25, 2012 Full Review Won't Back Down (2012) 34% EDIT “I rooted for the film's characters from start to finish while watching this riveting and well-crafted drama.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Sep 28, 2012 Full Review Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger (2008) 50% EDIT “Cathy Randall, making her screenwriting and directorial debut with this film, never establishes what led the main character's peers to shun her.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Apr 6, 2009 Full Review The Bucket List (2007) 40% EDIT “Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman do their best to overcome their one-dimensional characters and the impractical screenplay.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Aug 24, 2008 Full Review 21 (2008) 36% EDIT “'21' is an absorbing and suspenseful drama.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Drillbit Taylor (2008) 26% EDIT “'Drillbit Taylor' wastes the considerable comedic talents of Owen Wilson. The material isn't in the least challenging for him nor is it amusing.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Jul 8, 2008 Full Review Definitely, Maybe (2008) 71% EDIT “Ryan Reynolds' performance is flawless in this delightful romantic comedy.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews Jun 22, 2008 Full Review Into the Wild (2007) 83% EDIT “Sean Penn's screenplay and direction are too cautious and paint a rosy picture of Christopher McCandless, never hypothesizing about his motives.” – ReelTalk Movie Reviews May 25, 2008 Full Review
