Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “"Rollerball" is more realistic and exciting than any movie ever made with sports as a theme.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Selma (2014) 99% B+ EDIT “Nevertheless, the performances are uniformly excellent with Oyelowo conveying both the iconic magnetism and human-sized modesty of King's personality.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Oct 15, 2018 Full Review Aristide and the Endless Revolution (2005) 92% EDIT “As a window into our country's right-wing attitudes about emerging democracies, the film is particularly timely.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Nov 23, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79% EDIT “Revenge of the Sith is far from a great film but it easily trumps its two predecessors.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Nov 16, 2015 Full Review Everest (2015) 73% B+ EDIT “Let's face it: This is what 3-D IMAX theaters are for. If ever you wanted to know just how small and insignificant you are when facing the full force of the natural world then this is your film.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Sep 18, 2015 Full Review Black Mass (2015) 74% C+ EDIT “It cribs from just about everything Martin Scorsese has ever done in the genre - but without any of the complicated morality, stylistic artistry, or seductive panache..” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Sep 18, 2015 Full Review The Visit (2015) 68% C+ EDIT “..certainly better directed than many low-budget scare flicks, but it inevitably comes off as secondhand, a mildly entertaining, if clumsy, mix of eeriness and chuckles that arrests Shyamalan's cinematic decline but certainly doesn't reverse it.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Sep 11, 2015 Full Review Chloe & Theo (2015) 6% C- EDIT “Good intentions do not a good movie make. And it's sad to say, but Johnson was far more convincing in 50 Shades of Grey.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Sep 10, 2015 Full Review The Transporter Refueled (2015) 16% D+ EDIT “Stupid. But not in a good way. Just plain, insufferably stupid. The movie objectifies the women in exactly the same way the villains do. In a summer that saw the rise of Imperator Furiosa, I'm sorry, this just won't do.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Sep 10, 2015 Full Review American Ultra (2015) 44% B- EDIT “It doesn't work, but I'm impressed with how hard it tries. There's an infectious sincerity to both the writing and the acting that elevates what is otherwise a messy mashup of tone, style, and storytelling.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Aug 26, 2015 Full Review The End of the Tour (2015) 92% B+ EDIT “A heartfelt portrait of self-questioning genius and a thinking man's version of bromance. It asks provocative questions about the nature of conversation while engaging in equally provocative conversations. Wallace probably would have hated it.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Aug 19, 2015 Full Review Mr. Holmes (2015) 88% C+ EDIT “Essentially a senior-citizen version of Holmes fan fiction, McKellen makes the movie worth watching. Too bad the final caper doesn't match his dedication to character.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Aug 7, 2015 Full Review Fantastic Four (2015) 9% C- EDIT “If your superhero movie is 101 minutes long and it takes 75 minutes before the bad guy shows up, something is seriously wrong with your script. Just sayin'.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Aug 7, 2015 Full Review Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) 81% B- EDIT “On one hand, it's energetically directed, well-acted, and reasonably smart. On the other, it's infected by a kind of hipster racism, where the black and female co-stars exist to make a young white male with no actual problems feel better about himself.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review The Wolfpack (2015) 87% B EDIT “The Wolfpack is what happens when a filmmaker of limited talent gets the scoop of a lifetime.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review The Overnight (2015) 83% B EDIT “Despite the best prosthetic penis joke probably ever, Patrick Brice's fitfully funny indie still doesn't deliver the awkward sex comedy Gen-Xers deserve.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Southpaw (2015) 59% B- EDIT “It's first-rate filmmaking in service of subtlety-free, second-rate storytelling. You never for a moment doubt where Southpaw is heading, but, ultimately, it's Gyllenhaal that makes you care.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review That Sugar Film (2014) 69% C+ EDIT “That Sugar Film's message is one well worth hearing, there are better, more informed messengers out there.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Tomorrowland (2015) 49% B- EDIT “Shouldn't a magical destination be, well, magical? Instead of leaving our jaws agape in wonder, Tomorrowland's architecture looks like a cross between Disney's Epcot Center and a high-end shopping mall.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) May 22, 2015 Full Review The D Train (2015) 55% C+ EDIT “...isn't funny enough to play as a straight comedy nor dark enough to resonate as a black comedy, but should be commended for sticking with its ballsy plot twist.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) May 15, 2015 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% A- EDIT “The practical effects and stunts give it the kind of bone-jarring, visceral impact that most Hollywood and Marvel superhero movies have largely abandoned. By comparison, The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, seems unconvincingly cartoonish.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) May 15, 2015 Full Review Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 75% B EDIT “The mayhem is clever but, functionally, Whedon is serving Disney's branding schemes first and his story and characters second.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) May 1, 2015 Full Review Wild Tales (2014) 94% B EDIT “There's a fine line between clever and smug, and Szifrón rides that line hard, reveling in the brutality and explosive emotions on display.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Apr 3, 2015 Full Review Merchants of Doubt (2014) 86% B+ EDIT “The message here is convincingly clear: corporate America is involved in an elaborate and extravagantly funded game of three-card monty, playing the public for the suckers they are all-too willing to be.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Apr 3, 2015 Full Review Wendy and Lucy (2008) 85% EDIT “None of this would work without Williams' painfully authentic performance. She plays Wendy as a gentle but self-possessed young woman who combats despair and fear with solemn defiance.” – Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Mar 27, 2015 Full Review
