Film Reviews
Film Review: “Song Sung Blue”
Based on a true story (I highly recommend seeing the documentary of the same name), “Song Sung Blue” succeeds mostly on the performances of Jackman and Hudson.
Film Review: “The Housemaid”
The film is well paced, and director Feig wisely let’s the story play out without telegraphing the next twist. All in all, this is a film I really recommend.
Film Review: “Avatar: Fire and Ash”
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” is the first film for a third time, and no amount of budget money or visual spectacle can fix that repetitive storytelling.
Film Review: “Marty Supreme”
“Marty Supreme” is defined by its chaotic flow, jumping from one crisis to the next like you’re fast-forwarding through ten sitcom plots at once.
Film Review: Zootopia 2
“Zootopia 2” knows the expectations it carries, and it meets most of them quietly and confidently underneath the vibrant colors, animal jokes and bursts of adventurous joy.
Film Review: Wicked for Good
“Wicked for Good” hopes you’ve grown up alongside these characters. I just can’t help but wonder what might have been if “Wicked” had stayed a singular, tightly packed film
Film Review: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
“Wake Up Dead Man” feel clever, timely, and strangely resonant. It’s a whodunnit made for a world divided by social media, disinformation, and the fragility of truth.
Film Review: “The Running Man”
Despite a lack of Wright’s flair, “The Running Man” is still a fun, dystopian middle finger to corporate authoritarianism.
Film Review: “Die My Love”
“Die My Love” might not work as a story, but as a showcase for what Jennifer Lawrence is capable of, it’s magnetic. Sometimes that’s enough.
Film Review: “After the Hunt”
“After the Hunt” feels like a thesis paper written the hour before it’s due.
Film Review: “A House of Dynamite”
“A House of Dynamite” doesn’t build toward a catharsis, it loops through dread.
Film Review: “V/H/S Halloween”
“V/H/S Halloween” captures the essence of this time of year by being consistently violent, funny and at times unsettling.
Film Review: “The Smashing Machine”
“The Smashing Machine” could be a defining moment in Johnson’s acting career. It’s not a knockout of a film, but it lands where it counts.
