In Good Company (2004) Matt Brunson Good guy, good values, good movie.

2/4
Conan the Destroyer (1984) Matt Brunson No worse than its predecessor, since its campy components at least take the edge off the tedious proceedings.

Conan the Barbarian (1982) Matt Brunson A wooden Arnie is not yet seasoned enough to work up the charisma that would serve him well in later roles.

1.5/4
Supergirl (1984) Matt Brunson While 1978's Superman remains the best superhero movie ever made, this desultory spinoff wouldn't even crack the genre's top 50 (or 60, or 70...).

3/4
Jojo Rabbit (2019) Matt Brunson Whereas the comedy of To Be or Not to Be and The Producers was largely rooted in slapstick and dialogue, Jojo Rabbit finds Waititi taking a more surreal approach.

4/4
L.A. Confidential (1997) Matt Brunson Writer-director Curtis Hanson's adaptation of the James Ellroy novel wasn't merely one of the two or three greatest movies of the 1990s; it stands as a masterpiece for the ages.

Almost Famous (2000) Matt Brunson Perhaps the most flat-out entertaining movie of its year.

3.5/4
Erin Brockovich (2000) Matt Brunson There's really no reason this kind of conventional David-and-Goliath tale should make for such a compelling motion picture, but Soderbergh and Grant smartly mix plenty of humor and unflagging inspiration into the drama.

3.5/4
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Matt Brunson It's at once pulpy and profound, a movie that never forgets to have fun even as it's tackling such straight-faced issues as honor, devotion and compassion.

2.5/4
Chocolat (2000) Matt Brunson Chocolat is definitely a minor piece when compared to other films of a gastronomical nature, although it’s not without its own charms.

2/4
The Judge (2014) Matt Brunson It's packed with so much empty incident and superfluous drama that, when it’s over, you’ll swear you just watched a television miniseries over three nights rather than a theatrical release in one sitting.

3.5/4
BlacKkKlansman (2018) Matt Brunson The humor in BlacKkKlansman is occasionally overdone, and yet it never dilutes the suspense.

4/4
Do the Right Thing (1989) Matt Brunson An out-and-out masterpiece, Spike Lee's best movie also remains the most penetrating film ever made about race relations in these United States.

3/4
Secondhand Lions (2003) Matt Brunson This film may be all over the map, but at least it takes viewers to some interesting places.

2/4
Hobo With a Shotgun (2011) Matt Brunson Rutger Hauer is the show, the whole show, and nothing but the show.

3.5/4
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Matt Brunson Francis Ford Coppola’s stunning (and fairly faithful) adaptation of the classic vampire novel is a movie lover’s dream.

3.5/4
Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) Matt Brunson Few sights in this world are as beautiful as watching rednecks get their comeuppance, and Macreedy’s fistfight with Coley is indeed a thing of beauty.
Posted Feb 22, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Song Sung Blue (2025) Matt Brunson Song Sung Blue manages the neat trick of being "feel-good" and "feel-awful" in equal measure.
Posted Feb 22, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Roofman (2025) Matt Brunson Here’s a feel-good seriocomedy, but read between the checkout lines and there are dark themes to be found.
Posted Feb 22, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Nightcrawler (2014) Matt Brunson In a knockout performance, Jake Gyllenhaal plays Louis Bloom, the type of guy who would not only sell his own mother but would chop her up into tiny pieces to facilitate the transaction.

2.5/4
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) Matt Brunson Infuriatingly inconsistent.

3.5/4
Goodbye, Columbus (1969) Matt Brunson An impressive adaptation of Philip Roth's novella.

3.5/4
A Royal Affair (2012) Matt Brunson A period saga that easily swats away any myopic claims of stately stuffiness by emerging as a passionate and hard-charging history lesson.

4/4
Throne of Blood (1957) Matt Brunson One of the best Shakespearean adaptations ever made, and that Kurosawa topped himself by helming the brilliant King Lear-inspired Ran 28 years later only cements the fact that he will always be heralded as one of the greats.

3.5/4
3 Women (1977) Matt Brunson With 3 Women, Altman pushed even harder against the envelope and in the process created a highly unusual and wholly original motion picture.

1/4
Ghosts Can't Do It (1990) Matt Brunson Donald Trump, America's favorite fascist, earned the Razzie Award for Best Supporting Actor, but front and center is Bo Derek, hopelessly delivering the terrible dialogue served up by her hack husband.

1/4
Bolero (1984) Matt Brunson This turkey was second only to Cannonball Run II as the worst film of 1984.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Mannequin (2025) Matt Brunson When the most famous movie mannequin was played by Kim Cattrall in a dopey ‘80s romcom, it’s clear that this sub-sub-sub-subgenre is clearly underrepresented. That makes The Mannequin a welcome addition to the game.

2.5/4
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) Matt Brunson The end result isn’t a bastardization of the literary classic, but neither is it a further canonization of the acclaimed source.

1/4
The Rules of Attraction (2002) Matt Brunson This atrocious movie hits all the keywords for conjuring up foul imagery: "misogyny"; "rape"; "vomit"; "scatology"; "nose-picking"; "Bret Easton Ellis."

3/4
Obvious Child (2014) Matt Brunson Donna Stern proves to be a mirror reflection of the movie surrounding her: intelligent, spirited, honest, and more than a little awkward.

2.5/4
The Master (2012) Matt Brunson "You are passionate … but you do not persuade." That snatch of dialogue from Amadeus might as well be the slogan for Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master.

2.5/4
Haywire (2011) Matt Brunson Despite its dreamboat-heavy cast, this isn’t a big-screen episode of Spartacus or a sequel to Gladiator, although its leading player was then best known for TV’s American Gladiators.

August: Osage County (2013) Matt Brunson The best performance comes from Julia Roberts, who hadn’t been this good in over a decade.

A Woman Under the Influence (1974) Matt Brunson An uncompromising (if overlong) drama.

Man in a Cocked Hat (1959) Matt Brunson This isn’t nearly as funny as other British comedies from the period.

2.5/4
San Antonio (1945) Matt Brunson Flynn is typically fine, but this isn't one of his best efforts in the Western genre.

2.5/4
Sabrina (1995) Matt Brunson Julia Ormond’s central performance is a major debit in this agreeable if unexceptional remake of the 1954 Billy Wilder classic.

3.5/4
The Narrow Margin (1952) Matt Brunson Both a quintessential "B" flick and an essential film noir.

Long Live the King (2016) Matt Brunson A godsend to those who spent their childhoods poring over every issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland.

Beast Wishes (2012) Matt Brunson A lovely and loving look at Frank and Kathy Burns.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018) Matt Brunson Fifty Shades of Cray.

3.5/4
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) Matt Brunson It's that rare romantic comedy that deserved its riches, given its penchant for avoiding brain-dead formula almost every step of the way.
Posted Feb 15, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Palm Springs (2020) Matt Brunson It would be easy to dismiss Palm Springs as a Groundhog Day rip-off. It would also be myopic, misguided, and moronic.

3.5/4
Bringing Up Baby (1938) Matt Brunson One of those movies that seems to improve upon repeat viewings.

Big (1988) Matt Brunson A disarmingly sweet movie.

The Lady Eve (1941) Matt Brunson A riotous screwball classic.

My Bloody Valentine (1981) Matt Brunson Lacking even an ounce of imagination, this is no better and maybe just a little bit worse than most of the era's like-minded fare.
Posted Feb 15, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Dracula (1979) Matt Brunson One of the worst of all straightforward versions of the venerable Bram Stoker tale.
Posted Feb 15, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Crimson Peak (2015) Matt Brunson Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak will likely only appeal to viewers unfamiliar with Jane Eyre or Henry James or Daphne du Maurier or, heck, even The Silence of the Lambs.
