Out for Justice (1991)
A muddled yet mostly entertaining actioner...

SiREN (2016)
It's perhaps not terribly surprising to note that SiREN only works in starts and fits...

3/4
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is one of those comedies that improves upon subsequent viewings.

An often jaw-droppingly audacious and singular piece of work...

Spider-Man returns in yet another iteration of Stan Lee's most famous character...

2/4
Don't Hang Up (2017)
The degree to which Don't Hang Up eventually peters out is especially disappointing given the effectiveness of its pre-credits sequence...

2/4
The House (2017)
...with the movie ultimately standing as the latest in an increasingly long line of misbegotten Ferrell comedies.

Extremely ambitious yet rarely effective...

1.5/4
Viral (2016)
...it is, in the end, not difficult to see why the prolific Blumhouse Productions decided to keep this one out of theaters.

Oktober November (2014)
An almost prototypically slow and uninvolving European drama...

Innocuous and forgettable...

A fairly colossal disappointment and misfire from Joon-ho Bong...
Posted Jul 9, 2017

2/4
Cars 3 (2017)
The Cars saga comes to an apparent close with this hopelessly ineffective and fairly superfluous entry...
Posted Jul 9, 2017

3/4
Thief (1981)
...a deliberately-paced character study that's peppered with heist-like elements...
Posted Jul 9, 2017

1.5/4
Baywatch (2017)
An awful, interminable TV remake...
Posted Jul 8, 2017

2/4
Wonder Woman (2017)
The most obvious issue here is an absurdly, needlessly overlong running time of 141 minutes (!)...

Beatriz at Dinner (2017)

3/4
The Beguiled (2017)
The Beguiled, despite a decidedly erratic sense of momentum, stands as one of Coppola's best films...
Posted Jun 30, 2017

It Comes At Night (2017)
A progressively engrossing horror effort...

1.5/4
Guy Ritchie's transformation from gritty, innovative filmmaker to by-the-numbers purveyor of explosions continues with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword...
Posted Jun 25, 2017

2/4
Someone Is Watching Me (1978)
Someone's Watching Me! proves to be such a tough slog for much of its brief running time that periodic highlights like that are essentially (and ultimately) rendered moot.

1/4
...it's impossible not to wish that this time Bay sticks to his usual promise to never, ever make another Transformers movie.
Posted Jun 24, 2017

The Book of Henry (2017)
An almost astonishingly misguided endeavor...
Posted Jun 19, 2017

1.5/4
The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)
...a well-intentioned yet entirely misbegotten endeavor that squanders a good cast and searing true-life setup.

3/4
Everything, Everything (2017)
...a sweet, somewhat uneventful coming-of-age story.
Posted Jun 14, 2017

2/4
Blood Father (2016)
It is, in the end, impossible to label Blood Father as anything less than a massive missed opportunity...
Posted Jun 12, 2017

1/4
The Devil's Dolls (2016)
An often excessively tedious horror effort...
Posted Jun 8, 2017

.5/4
The Recall (2017)
Just about the only positive element contained within the seemingly endless proceedings is Wesley Snipes' unabashedly over-the-top turn as a mysterious hunter...
Posted Jun 6, 2017

2.5/4
5-25-77 (2005)
...the movie's overall success is hindered by an overlong, egregiously rough-around-the-edges feel...
Posted Jun 4, 2017

2.5/4
Risk (2017)
...the movie does capture the tedium one assumes Assange faces on a daily basis now, so on that level it's hard to deny that Poitras has succeeded.

2.5/4
Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)
A fairly decent followup to 2011's The Mechanic...

White Settlers (2014)
An often excessively familiar horror effort...
Posted May 25, 2017

3/4
Hidden (2015)
It's clear fairly early on that Hidden benefits substantially from the Duffer brothers' patient, methodical approach to their spare screenplay...
Posted May 25, 2017
42
3/4
The Firm (1993)
...a completely passable adaptation that never quite becomes the classic legal thriller it wants to be.
Posted May 24, 2017
43
2/4
The Wall (2017)
...an endeavor that, even at 81 minutes, simply can't sustain a feature-length running time.
Posted May 21, 2017

1.5/4
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
...a handsome-looking but entirely empty comic-book adaptation.
Posted May 21, 2017

2.5/4
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Alien: Covenant progresses into a somewhat watchable yet entirely underwhelming midsection that does, more often than not, seem to be spinning its wheels.
