Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% EDIT “It’s an overload of overkill, yet as tedious and empty as the last day of a 72-hour trip to Vegas when the novelty has worn off and you just want to go home and sleep.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 17, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “I just know that Bronstein demands you pay attention to her, and with Byrne diving headfirst into the character’s harrowing panic, you will find you have no other choice.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% EDIT “Urchin establishes [Dickinson] as a filmmaker to watch: a storyteller willing to look at a thorny subject and admit that there are no easy answers.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “Perhaps the most interesting decision Oppenheim makes is giving all the key players a measure of competence.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% EDIT “Think of the worst elements of "Return of the Jedi" - ewoks! - and combine them with a complex, uninvolving story that never quite taps into the series' mythology and you have an idea how disappointing this new installment is.” – Los Angeles Daily News Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 45% 1.5/4 EDIT “Scream 3 feels about as fresh as Friday the 13th: Part 8.” – Los Angeles Daily News Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% EDIT “Tarzan, for good reason, remains one of the most permanently fixed characters in movie history. If this Tarzan doesn't quite measure up to the Lord of the Jungle legend, he comes close enough.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% EDIT “Baker wrote the part for her, and Madison returned the favor with a star-making performance, leaning into Ani’s audacity while revealing the fragile façade, the vulnerabilities and self-deception lurking underneath.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 16, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% EDIT “It’s cute. And it’s so easy to be taken with these two warm, assured actors that the first hour of “We Live in Time” flies by...” – Los Angeles Times Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% EDIT “Murphy is effective, even if the tone has shifted from a brash swagger to nostalgic cheer. The heat is gone. But you knew that. ” – Los Angeles Times Jul 2, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 82% EDIT “At its best, though, it’s a romantic comedy that coasts on the charisma of its two appealing leads, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.” – Los Angeles Times May 2, 2024 Full Review Rustin (2023) 83% EDIT “You want to change the world? Gather some like-minded souls, roll up your sleeves and dream. It might, this optimistic film posits, come true.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 3, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% 3.5/4 EDIT “Watching The Exorcist 27 years after its release, it's easy to see how much the movie's story is a product of its times. But the movie worked then, and it still does.” – Los Angeles Daily News Sep 28, 2023 Full Review The Creator (2023) 67% EDIT “Unfortunately, there’s precious little in “The Creator” that feels fresh, particularly if you’ve seen one of the first two “Terminator” movies, watched “The Last of Us” or bought your kid (OK, yourself) a Baby Yoda plush toy.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 26, 2023 Full Review The Origin of Evil (2022) 93% EDIT “The second-hour intrigue is sharp enough to hold your interest and the final bit of untwisting registers as near-perfect.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 22, 2023 Full Review The Matrix (1999) 83% C+ EDIT “A complete lack of story logic, coupled with the narrative's propensity for meandering mumbo-jumbo, makes this a movie best seen and not heard.” – Los Angeles Daily News Jul 13, 2023 Full Review You Hurt My Feelings (2023) 94% EDIT “A funny and incisive look at middle-age malaise, a time when potential has been replaced by plateaus and one might take an inordinate amount of pleasure in the comfort that comes from a well-made pair of socks.” – Los Angeles Times May 25, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% 2/4 EDIT “Unfortunately, Godzilla cannot be on screen all of the film's near-interminable 140 minutes. And when Godzilla goes missing, so does the film. ” – Los Angeles Daily News Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Ticket to Paradise (2022) 56% EDIT “A movie mostly absent of surprises and character details cannot fully vanquish the appeal of seeing these two movie stars at a time when the viability of both movies and stars has come into question.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% EDIT “There are a couple of good scenes... but nothing substantial enough to warrant the two-and-a-half-hour running time.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 6, 2022 Full Review We Feed People (2022) 100% EDIT “It’s easy to give in to despair. What “We Feed People” makes clear is that you can help with a simple, small act of empathy.” – Los Angeles Times May 26, 2022 Full Review CODA (2021) 94% EDIT “Have some tissues handy.” – Los Angeles Times Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Kid Candidate (2021) 78% EDIT “"Kid Candidate" isn't about winning as much as a reinforcement of the notion that apathy is the death of democracy, a lesson best learned, as Pedigo comes to understand, when you're young.” – Los Angeles Times Jul 1, 2021 Full Review Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) 99% EDIT “[Thompson's] respect and enthusiasm for the material jumps off the screen.” – Los Angeles Times Jun 24, 2021 Full Review The Sparks Brothers (2021) 95% EDIT “If you care about Sparks, this movie is heaven, a long-overdue answer to the group's 1994 song "When Do I Get to Sing 'My Way.'"” – Los Angeles Times Jun 17, 2021 Full Review
