8/10
Tár (2022) Jonathan W. Hickman It moves exceedingly well, and Blanchett’s stabbing performance is impossible to ignore.

Amsterdam (2022) Jonathan W. Hickman ...a flawed, subversive, and sometimes beautiful viewing experience.

Catherine Called Birdy (2022) Jonathan W. Hickman It’s a movie that will charm almost any viewer and leave you with a warm, hopeful feeling.

5/10
Hellraiser (2022) Jonathan W. Hickman “Hellraiser (2022)” is hopelessly convoluted when it should have gone back to the streamlined story that began the franchise.

7/10
Werewolf by Night (2022) Jonathan W. Hickman The intentionally campy approach to the material works remarkably well, and the terrible monster that the hunters fight will charm the most cynical of comics purists.

The Disrupted (2020) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Disrupted" is an insightful snapshot of how things were before the fall of the virus hammer.

Never Be Done: The Richard Glen Lett Story (2020) Jonathan W. Hickman ...a hard but essential watch.

7/10
Faith Based (2020) Jonathan W. Hickman "Faith Ba$ed" is a good-natured look at what it means to be Christian today.
Posted May 13, 2020  Edit critic review
5/10
Stray Dolls (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman "Stray Dolls" is like a Harmony Korine movie with all the fun and energy drained out of it. All that's left is the dour, mean-spirited stuff that gives Korine's work it's importance but alone doesn't make for good cinema.

Bacurau (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman "Bacurau" is a weirdly beautiful movie.

7/10
Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) Jonathan W. Hickman "Never Rarely Sometimes Always" isn't an entertaining watch, but for some of the most impressionable minds in formation, it might be a necessary one.

8/10
Bull (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman In as much as "The Rider" was a transcendent example of art imitating life, "Bull" achieves much the same level of genuineness.
Posted Mar 23, 2020  Edit critic review
8/10
Tread (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman An alarming warning sign, "Tread" is a tale of men who work with their calloused, grease infused hands, and despite vast differences, it's the work, the hard, dangerous, painful work that unites them.
Posted Feb 22, 2020  Edit critic review
7/10
Days of Rage: The Rolling Stones' Road to Altamont (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Handsomely made rock doc is a great companion piece to the Maysles' "Gimme Shelter."
Posted Jan 07, 2020  Edit critic review
7/10
Bombshell (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman "Bombshell" is entertaining and contains enough of a hard edge to be about something relevant in today's period of adjustment.
Posted Dec 23, 2019  Edit critic review
4/10
Last Christmas (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Trite and insincere, "Last Christmas" is a cloying cup of holiday sneer.
Posted Nov 08, 2019  Edit critic review
7/10
Midnight Traveler (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman ...an unsettling sign of the times
Posted Nov 07, 2019  Edit critic review
9/10
Pain and Glory (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Almodóvar takes what could be cathartic only for himself and shares it with all of us.
Posted Nov 02, 2019  Edit critic review
5/10
Motherless Brooklyn (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Achieving a kind of clumsy elegance, at times, "Motherless Brooklyn" sadly devolves into reams of exposition. It's a film that has a hard time with the visual language of cinema.
Posted Nov 01, 2019  Edit critic review
8/10
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Hamilton has a special spark, and in "Dark Fate," it's a kind of magic.
Posted Oct 31, 2019  Edit critic review
6/10
Game Day (2017) Jonathan W. Hickman "Game Day" is a warmhearted narrative crafted by a talented team.
Posted Oct 28, 2019  Edit critic review
10/10
Parasite (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman "Parasite" is a timely commentary about our era of the classist "gig" economy, in which the transactional overcomes decency and humanity.
Posted Oct 26, 2019  Edit critic review
6/10
The Lighthouse (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman "The Lighthouse" is a punishing film with a miserable conclusion; it's only recommended to those willing to wallow in its sad view of men running from guilt and finding no quarter.

7/10
The Current War: Director's Cut (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Watching this zippy film, it's hard not to get caught up in the events that helped shape our world today.
Posted Oct 23, 2019  Edit critic review
7/10
Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Limber up viewer, "Double Tap" delivers plenty of entertaining kills, and more than one bloody bit of enjoyable zombie-killin' hilarity.
Posted Oct 18, 2019  Edit critic review
4/10
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" is jumbled nonsense that palely reminds us of what barely made the first film work.

8/10
In Search of Darkness: A Journey Into Iconic 80s Horror (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman A must for collectors, this documentary feature from director David A. Weiner (his first film) is nothing short of epic.
Posted Oct 14, 2019  Edit critic review
4/10
Gemini Man (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Poorly written and conceived, Ang Lee is a filmmaker with all the toys but nowhere to show off all his great technical expertise.
Posted Oct 10, 2019  Edit critic review
7/10
First Love (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman After setting up the players and introducing the two young leads to one another in Miike's violent version of "meet-cute," the film ratchets up the action and the pace is dizzying.
Posted Oct 04, 2019  Edit critic review
6/10
Joker (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman ...the problem with "Joker" is the lack of a proper foil.
Posted Oct 03, 2019  Edit critic review

Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017) Jonathan W. Hickman ...a gritty and creepy unique look at the collateral damage of the drug trade.

Ms. Purple (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman It's a film that should be absorbed and celebrated, giving many of us a peek into a world of which we might be unfamiliar, but exposing the similarities that bind us together as human beings.
Posted Sep 27, 2019  Edit critic review
6/10
Abominable (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman With top tier animation and a lively kid-friendly story, "Abominable" cruises comfortably, while also failing to capitalize on it's most interesting components.

7/10
Official Secrets (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman A frightening, real-world thriller, director Gavin Hood, who last gave us 2015's excellent "Eye in the Sky," has a good feel for the material.

Hustlers (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Surprisingly, after the glitz and sexy dances die-down, there's something meaningful remaining. Lopez has never been better.

The Goldfinch (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman All you need to know about "The Goldfinch" movie is that the "kiss" gets a laugh.

It: Chapter Two (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman This movie might make some bucks, but it does not continue the former film's watershed moment.

Love, Antosha (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman ...through immersing the viewer in the young actor's words, Anton Yelchin kept a journal, it's utterly inspiring.

The Nightingale (2018) Jonathan W. Hickman ...never lets you forget the real horror of that time, that place, and what it meant to be considered a lesser sort of being, wrongfully based upon one's gender, nationality, or race.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) Jonathan W. Hickman Occupies the no-man's land between "Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" and the recent "Annabelle" sequel. It's an exercise in middle-school horror best suited for the small screen.
