Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
I doubt many people were hankering for this to be made, but it's a pretty good b-movie.

The Final Year (2018)

Deadpool 2 (2018)
Deadpool 2 could easily have been a letdown. The fact that it's not is a happy surprise.

Breaking In (2018)
Breaking bad...

Tully (2018)
Filled with raw truths about the maternal condition, with a plot twist that suddenly rears up out of the story and transforms everything that came before it.

Tiny Shoulders is really a history of Barbie and her feminist tormentors. And it turns out those tiny shoulders conceal some real muscle.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
There's just too much of this thing.

Just Friends (2005)
No matter what filmmakers intend, fat suits always take over the movies they're in.

The Dreamers (2004)

I Feel Pretty (2018)
There's a long barroom bikini contest, complete with wet t-shirt, that goes on too long when it shouldn't be going on at all.

Elvis Presley: The Searcher (2018)
Thanks to The Searcher, we can remember just how swingin' [the time] was. How it rocked.

Blumhouse's Truth or Dare (2018)
A movie that can be forgotten in advance...
Posted Apr 13, 2018

Chappaquiddick (2018)
There's no need for partisan exaggeration in this story; the undisputed facts are awful enough.

Operation Odessa (2018)
15
Ready Player One (2018)
Really is fun in some ways. But there's a suffocating abundance of digital imagery, and after a while, you feel as if you're staring at nothingness made manifest.

Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
There's no point in wondering if some other director could have done it better when it's crystal clear there was no need for it to be done at all.

Isle of Dogs (2018)
The crowded little universe of Wes Anderson's latest movie is an amusing place to visit, if not necessarily a bucket-list destination.

Arthur Miller: Writer (2018)

Tomb Raider (2018)
Already ripe to be remade -- as a better movie...
Posted Mar 16, 2018

Gringo (2018)
If there were a special place for middling cultural products-the so-so pop song, the not-entirely-bad book-that would be the proper destination for a movie like Gringo.

Red Sparrow (2018)
Gives off whiffs of old-time exploitation filmmaking-Love Camp 7, maybe, or one of the Ilsa movies.
Posted Mar 2, 2018

Annihilation (2018)
There's one scene that is so hair-raisingly horrific, it's still creeping me out days after I saw the movie.

Black Panther (2018)
A ripping action flick on which a great deal of care has been expended.
Posted Feb 16, 2018
24
The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
The plot has been awkwardly repurposed for the Cloverfield universe-the focus-grouped seams are everywhere apparent.

We hear them talk about their lives and their beliefs, which are candidly examined in their music, and are the reason why it has connected with so many people.
Posted Feb 2, 2018

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)
Endless running and hiding and running and fighting and running and running...

12 Strong (2018)
There's a lot to like here. Unfortunately, it's not quite enough.

3/4
Brighton Rock (2011)
Brighton Rock may not explain all that is behind its murder and mayhem, but it makes sure it always looks good.

3.5/4
The Grey (2012)
The twist in this fairy tale is that Mr. Neeson turns out to the biggest, baddest wolf of them all.
Posted Jan 12, 2018

Inherent Vice (2015)
Inherent Vice isn't a movie about what it's about, whatever that is. It's a movie about how it felt. And for this viewer, at least, the way it felt was pretty good.

Your Highness (2011)
It would have been nice if the filmmakers had set out to entertain anyone other than themselves.
Posted Jan 12, 2018

3.5/4
Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
It's a film that shows Mr. Anderson succeeds most when he indulges his own stylistic and thematic obsessions rather than attempt to suppress them.
Posted Jan 12, 2018

1.5/4
Wrath of the Titans (2012)
No amount of Dolby bang can jolt this thunderously tedious film from its lifeless slumber.
Posted Jan 12, 2018
34
Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
The movie can't even muster the commitment to stand by its own banalities.
Posted Jan 12, 2018
35
Cosmopolis (2012)
36
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
Mr. Franco is an enjoyable, if understated, presence as Oz, who he plays as a sort of disaffected stoner. But it's Mr. Raimi who's the real star.
Posted Jan 12, 2018
37
The Great Gatsby (2013)
The director seems to have no idea what real human interaction is like, and no interest either. If it's not a party, it's not worth his time.
Posted Jan 12, 2018

The Commuter (2018)
Straight-up action product...
Posted Jan 12, 2018

Predators (2010)
Predators doesn't seem to think the humans in its audience meet that standard, which may explain why its hunt is so boring.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
As with the first film ... it's Robert Downey Jr.'s giddy portrayal of Stark, the flamboyantly flippant playboy narcissist, that steals the show
Posted Jan 11, 2018
41
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
For a movie about tortured teens trying to stay awake, Nightmare does just about everything it can to put everyone in the audience to sleep.
Posted Jan 11, 2018

Kick-Ass (2010)
Kick-Ass is a movie that takes names and lives up to its own: Part ultraviolent superhero deconstruction, part giddy, amoral thrill-ride.
Posted Jan 11, 2018

Repo Men (2010)
Repo Men ... is a shallow, stupid critique of organ markets in specific and for-profit health care in general that doesn't even have the decency to be amusing.

District 9 (2009)
On the guns-a-blazin' front, the director's action-savvy is unmatched so far this year.

2012 (2009)
[Emmerich] doses his destruction with a hefty shot of camp, as if the correct reaction to the loss of another couple hundred million lives is "holy molten lava, Batman!"
Posted Jan 11, 2018
47
Funny People (2009)
It's a funny movie, yes, though not as funny as [Apatow's] previous directorial efforts, Knocked Up and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. That, however, is partly by design.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Creepy beings streak by in the background of scenes, or loom up out of nowhere, solely because it's time for another BOO!

The Post (2018)
Will probably be popular among media people-it's about them.
