Rating Title/Year Author
Avengement (2019) Patrick Bromley This is a hard-hitting movie, the kind where the violence is stylized less so that it looks cool and more so that you feel every blow. I got bruises just watching it. EDIT

4/5 Saint Frances (2019) Patrick Bromley Tonally delicate and loving towards every single one of its characters, it's the kind of indie that gives indie movies a good name. EDIT

3.5/5 Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019) Patrick Bromley The best kind of crowd-pleaser: one you don't have to feel bad about liking because it doesn't talk down to you. EDIT
Posted May 23, 2019
3.5/5 Olympic Dreams (2019) Patrick Bromley Call it Lost in Translation with more sports. EDIT
Posted May 21, 2019
4/5 John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) Patrick Bromley There's no way we're getting a better action movie this year. EDIT
Posted May 21, 2019
4/5 Long Shot (2019) Patrick Bromley A smartly written, very funny, and genuinely romantic movie that does what it sets out to do: present two likable people who are very different and try its best to show them honestly develop feelings for one another. EDIT

3/5 Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase (2019) Patrick Bromley The kind of movie I want my kids to see, presenting young people who are smart and resourceful and good-hearted instead of self-entitled punks living in a world without consequences. EDIT

2.5/5 Small Crimes (2017) Patrick Bromley The movie continues to make the case that Evan Katz is a huge talent, but it also fails to really excite me the way his last movie did. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 Wonder Woman (2017) Patrick Bromley Easily joins the ranks of some of the best first outings for a superhero in the last two decades. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2.5/5 Cars 3 (2017) Patrick Bromley Feels a little like Pixar pondering its own legacy. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3.5/5 Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Patrick Bromley Lacking a bit of an emotional component present in some past Spider-Man movies, but makes up for it with sheer fun and entertainment value. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2.5/5 Dunkirk (2017) Patrick Bromley Dunkirk wants to go out of its way to avoid war movie cliches until it doesn't, at which point it embraces nearly all of them. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2.5/5 Death Note (2017) Patrick Bromley While it didn't exactly inspire me to rush out and track down the other adaptations, it did once again remind me of what a talent Adam Wingard is. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2/5 The Houses October Built 2 (2017) Patrick Bromley Content to send the same characters down the same path with what appears on the surface to be the same results. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 Gerald's Game (2017) Patrick Bromley Gerald's Game may be an imperfect adaptation, but it's an adaptation that couldn't exist without these actors and this director. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2/5 Jigsaw (2017) Patrick Bromley No worse than even the most average of Saw movies. Unfortunately, it isn't any better, either. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen (2017) Patrick Bromley It gives me the chance to listen to Cohen and his collaborators talk about the movies, it helps to highlight what is so special about him as an artist, and it makes me want to go back and revisit every one of his movies. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3.5/5 Mayhem (2017) Patrick Bromley This is the movie you're going to watch every time you have a bad day at work. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2/5 WolfCop II (2016) Patrick Bromley Sacrifices much of what would make it work as a movie so that it can be increasingly outrageous. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2.5/5 Mom and Dad (2017) Patrick Bromley Mom and Dad is a mess that doesn't quite work, but it's the kind of mess that's just good enough that it should be great. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3.5/5 Imitation Girl (2017) Patrick Bromley The only thing better than a movie with a Lauren Ashley Carter performance is a movie with two. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3.5/5 Lowlife (2017) Patrick Bromley A terrific movie -- well made and unpredictable, and announces the arrival of a genuinely exciting new filmmaker. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 Blockers (2018) Patrick Bromley The best jokes in Blockers rarely announce themselves as being big jokes, and it's these smaller moments and specific observations that most seem to interest director Kay Cannon. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3.5/5 A Quiet Place (2018) Patrick Bromley I could feel myself being expertly manipulated by every single person who worked on the movie and I loved them for it. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
1.5 Rampage (2018) Patrick Bromley This isn't a movie that has any affection or any wonder towards its monsters.They're in here because they're in the video game on which it's based. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2.5/5 Wildling (2018) Patrick Bromley It means well, even when it doesn't have a lot to say. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2.5/5 Ghost Stories (2017) Patrick Bromley I love the tone of the film and its construction, but it ultimately goes to places I'm not willing to follow. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 The Endless (2017) Patrick Bromley It's what you might expect and also nothing like it. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
4/5 Revenge (2017) Patrick Bromley Inside its gorgeous, candy-colored packaging -- as confident a debut as we've seen in recent years -- Revenge has a warrior of a protagonist who is easy to root for, villains who are easy to hate, and satisfactory justice dispensed. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 Deadpool 2 (2018) Patrick Bromley Just like with the first film, Deadpool 2 works in the ways that it needs to work. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 Ocean's 8 (2018) Patrick Bromley The definition of a three star movie: it's totally watchable, features actors I like having a good time, is fun to look at, demands very little of me, and will more or less be forgotten by the time I finish this review. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3/5 Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) Patrick Bromley Incredibly entertaining and exactly the antidote for a series of movies that were growing overstuffed beyond the point of exhaustion. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
2/5 The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) Patrick Bromley At two hours, the movie is still way too overlong, way too plot-heavy, and way too messy for me to give it much of a recommendation. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
3.5/5 Destination Wedding (2018) Patrick Bromley The characters are exaggerated, the dialogue self-consciously written, but there's a beating heart beneath Destination Wedding that makes all the sourness taste just a little sweet. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
4/5 Mandy (2018) Patrick Bromley It's so good to see Nicolas Cage back in a film that rewards his bold approach to acting, because Mandy is bold and uncompromising, too. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
1.5 The Predator (2018) Patrick Bromley The fourth film in the Predator franchise is also the fourth best Predator movie. EDIT
Posted Nov 2, 2018
4/5 Assassination Nation (2018) Patrick Bromley The film is bursting with color and energy and life, stylized in such a way as to both underscore a certain heightened reality and to reflect the way young people interact with the world. EDIT

2/5 Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018) Patrick Bromley There are flashes of inspiration sprinkled throughout Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween, but most of my enjoyment came as a result of my own passions and not anything the movie was doing especially well. EDIT
Posted Oct 30, 2018
3/5 Halloween (2018) Patrick Bromley I have to be happy with a do-over. It's a very good do-over, but a do-over all the same. EDIT
