Review: Spies in Disguise

by Tyrone Barnes on 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

by Tyrone Barnes on 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 [...]

Retro Review: Frozen

by Ian Hancock on December 8, 2019
With Frozen II warming the hearts of children everywhere, it's the perfect time to reflect on the film that started it all. Is Frozen as good as we remember?

Review: Frozen II

by Tyrone Barnes on December 1, 2019
Structurally, it works. Aesthetically, it dazzles. Narratively and musically, it’s seen better days.

Review: The Addams Family (2019)

by Tyrone Barnes on October 21, 2019
It is how they contrast with real good, not how they match up with real evil (which they don’t), that makes the Addams so lovable.

Review: Abominable

by Tyrone Barnes on October 1, 2019
Just because the meal is familiar in its ingredients and arrangement, doesn’t mean it isn’t appreciable in its delivery.

Review: The Angry Birds Movie 2

by Tyrone Barnes on August 24, 2019
Okay, so why does this movie exist?

Review: The Lion King (2019)

by Juliana Purnell on July 23, 2019
Another month, another Disney remake. Except this time they're remaking the Oscar-winning film, The Lion King. Can you improve upon perfection?

Review: Toy Story 4

by Tyrone Barnes on June 29, 2019
Yes, it was good to open up the toy box one more time. Yes, it was good to know that the toys still work after all these years. Yes, it’s great that we got to see them cut loose and that it’s largely just as fun as we remember. With all that said, it’s [...]

Review: The Secret Life of Pets 2

by Tyrone Barnes on June 15, 2019
Seriously, what WAS that? If your plot is too thin, do you take several equally thin plots and fold them over each other hoping to have something that justifies a feature length production? Okay, in concept that’s not the worst idea.

Review: UglyDolls

by Tyrone Barnes on May 21, 2019
UglyDolls isn't a bad movie...just not a very good one.

Review: Pokémon Detective Pikachu

by Juliana Purnell on May 11, 2019
The film may be a slog for newcomers, but for fans it a) provides an excuse to immerse oneself in the Pokémon world, and b) finally delivers a more mature, satisfying story. What more do you want?

Review: Wonder Park

by Tyrone Barnes on March 24, 2019
Thematically, it’s pretty clear as to what Wonderland represents. The theme park is the incarnation of June’s creative psyche: weathered and unkempt due to neglect, overrun by malicious entities due to the worry and grief June has bottled up since her [...]
