Film Reviews
Film Review: “You’re Cordially Invited”
Witherspoon is just not funny, and Farrell is reduced to wrestling an animatronic alligator in a tuxedo to generate laughs, a gimmick that doesn’t work.
Film Review: “The Brutalist”
But the stand out performance here goes to fellow nominee Guy Pearce, who owns every scene he is in. I have loved Pearce ever since his breakout performance in “L.A. Confidential” and he is outstanding here.
Film Review: “Conclave”
Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role (Ralph Fiennes), and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Isabella Rossellini), “Conclave” is one of the best films to grace the silver screen this past year.
Film Review: “September 5” (3rd Review)
Like “Civil War” in which the story of war, albeit a fictional one, is told through the eyes of journalists, this film’s viewpoint is an intriguing one as well.
Film Review: “Nosferatu” (Review #2)
To be blunt, if you want to watch a horror film that will scare you, then I would recommend “The Exorcist”, “The Blair Witch Project,” or even 1992’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” starring Gary Oldham.
Film Review: “Wicked” (Review #2)
Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, “Wicked” delivers a wickedly good time for young and old alike.
Film Review: “Love Hurts”
Overall, the film is enjoyable, but I can’t help but wonder about what it could have been.
Film Review: “September 5” (Review #2)
If September 5 is a fascinating look at the past, it’s also a chilly reminder of how terrorism hasn’t gone away and why we need alert and capable people to cover it.
Film Review: “Kraven: the Hunter” (Review #2)
At this point, it’s hard to say if even a fourth, live-action Spider-Man with Tom Holland will save Sony’s endeavor to create a universe of its own.
Film Review: “The Wild Robot” (Review #2)
Don’t get me wrong, “The Wild Robot” is a story any age can enjoy. It’s filled with laughter, action, and a few tears.
Film Review: “Clone Cops”
“Clone Cops” is just fun, and honestly, that’s all you can really expect, want and need out of a film that barely passes the hour-and-a-half mark.
Film Review: “Into the Deep”
In this day of CGI overuse, it is a credit to the filmmakers that they don’t go overboard, so to speak.
Film Review: “September 5”
“September 5” highlights the frenetic nature of a newsroom during a crisis. It tactfully shows how good and bad decisions happen all the time
Film Review: “One of Them Days”
Fast paced and quick witted, “One of Them Days” manages to stretch a one-joke story into a solid hour and a half.
Film Review: “Nickel Boys”
“Nickel Boys” is a sensory experience that wants us to live this dark chapter of American history, rather than relate to it.
Film Review: “Better Man’
Director Gracey also helmed “The Greatest Showman,” a film that started slow at the boxoffice then exploded after word of mouth spread. I hope “Better Man” has the same success. It certainly deserves it.
Film Review: “Get Away”
While “Get Away” is enjoyable, it feels like it could have been way better, especially if Simon Pegg or Edgar Wright had a say in the final product
Film Review: “Nosferatu”
“Nosferatu” is Eggers best film, so far, as he takes the best components of his prior films, like “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” to craft a menacing film that Bram Stoker himself would surely be inspired by.
