Review: Mad Max: Fury Road… Five Years Later!

May 14, 2020
Mad Max: Fury Road remains one of the strongest films to come out of contemporary Hollywood. It's an enthralling action movie from start to finish, and a masterpiece of film making as a craft.

Retro Review: Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

May 8, 2020
Kingdom of Heaven is enraging, complex, shallow, sensitive, nuanced, and spiteful all at once as it explores complex themes of faith and politics.

Review: Trolls World Tour

April 23, 2020
Yes, Trolls World Tour is at its heart a shameless remix of Avengers: Infinity War, and I’ve actually mixed up the titles in my brain while writing this...

Retro Review: Ben-Hur (1959)

April 19, 2020
Never has there been a film as big as Ben-Hur. Over sixty years on, is it still worthy of the saying?

Review: Fantasy Island (2020)

April 13, 2020
Fantasy Island fails terribly as a horror, though that might be because it's not the only film genre at play here.

Retro Review: Contagion (2011)

March 19, 2020
Contagion is a great thriller and one of Soderbergh's strongest films. Yet in light of current events, we may now be watching this movie through a very different lens.

Review: Onward

March 9, 2020
Onward's issue is not with the material, but with how it is handled and executed.

Review: Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

February 27, 2020
Sonic the Hedgehog is a surprisingly charming, quick-paced and energetic dose of nostalgia, satisfying anyone's craving for 90's Jim Carrey... and Olive Garden?

Review: Birds of Prey

February 7, 2020
Birds of Prey is a cinematic oddity that is likely to go down in the same category as 2016's Suicide Squad.

Review: 1917

January 23, 2020
Under the graceful hand of cinematographer Roger Deakins, 1917 blossoms into a unique and exciting vision of the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.

Retro Review: Star Trek: The Motion Picture

January 23, 2020
With Star Trek: Picard about to breathe life back into the franchise, it might be time to reassess our feelings towards the much-maligned original feature-length film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Review: Spies in Disguise

January 12, 2020
I should be kind since this is the first outing for these directors, but there’s little excuse for the horrible waste of talent here.

Review: Klaus

December 22, 2019
For those of us who’ve been wondering since the turn of the millennium exactly how the traditional form of feature film animation could possibly reclaim a place of unironic consideration in the mainstream consciousness, this is one of the best answers we [...]

Review: Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker

December 20, 2019
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a hotly anticipated film, marking the end to one of cinema's most popular franchises. So does it stick the landing?

Review: Frozen II

December 1, 2019

Review: Midway

November 16, 2019
I'm not sure Midway is a movie everyone would enjoy as much as I did. As a military history nerd, there's a lot of content and history here to consider, but the script is weak and littered with boiled down Hollywoodized action-movie cliches.

Review: Gemini Man

October 31, 2019
Gemini Man is one of those films that causes a stir; not because anyone is interested in the plot, but because of its varied formats. There are many different ways to experience this film (if you can find the right cinema), whether it’s in 3D, in 120 [...]

Retro Review: Cape Fear

October 31, 2019
Not every film in Martin Scorsese's filmography is perfect. Some are uneven, some are weird, some are noble misfires, and some are barely holding together at the seams at times. These movies often serve to contrast the bold heights of his immense [...]
