Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Bob Grimm It's at least twice as good as the original cut...but it still isn't good.

Minari (2020) Bob Grimm This is the best film of 2020 (Sound of Metal is a close second).

4/5
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) Bob Grimm Feels more like a play than a movie, but it's a good play and the acting is terrific.

3.5/5
Mank (2020) Bob Grimm It's sort of like "Arthur" as an art film, and I think that's a good thing.

2.45/5
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) Bob Grimm Bland courtroom scenes, hokey dialogue and terrible wigs.
Posted Oct 25, 2020  Edit critic review
2.75/5
Hubie Halloween (2020) Bob Grimm Accomplishes its goal of delivering stupid, lame comedy where many of the gags land. As for me, I need one of those from Sandler every couple of years.

4.5/5
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Bob Grimm This one will mess you up.
Posted Sep 27, 2020  Edit critic review
2.75/5
Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) Bob Grimm It's the worst the franchise has to offer, but it's still a good time. Keanu seems a little bored, but Winter is on point.

4/5
The Go-Go's (2020) Bob Grimm The band deserves this fine film.
Posted Aug 11, 2020  Edit critic review

The Outpost (2019) Bob Grimm This one will stick with you.
Posted Jul 15, 2020  Edit critic review
2.25/5
7500 (2019) Bob Grimm It's a taut thriller when it's in the air, and a dud when it's on the ground.
Posted Jul 01, 2020  Edit critic review
1/5
Artemis Fowl (2020) Bob Grimm There is just no need for this sort of thing.
Posted Jun 17, 2020  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The King of Staten Island (2020) Bob Grimm Semi-autobiographical comedy featuring Pete Davidson is another winner from Apatow thanks to good work from its star and a superb supporting cast. The film has a different vibe than the usual Apatow effort, and it works.

The Wrong Missy (2020) Bob Grimm Yeah...this isn't very good.
Posted Jun 05, 2020  Edit critic review
