FeaturedReview: Uncorked (2020)
“Any movie with a roller rink scene gets three bonus points, especially if there is roller-twerking.”
-
FeaturedREVIEW: AHS: 1984
“Remember in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, when Titus auditions for the new musical Spider-Man Too: 2 Many Spider-Man? 1984 is essentially that, but with slasher villains.”

“The Invisible Man is the Little Women of horror reboots.”

Review: Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution (2020)
“More than anything, the design really allows the Pokémon to shine on screen in a way that both respects their cartoonish roots and retains their most important attribute, whimsical adorability.”

Review: Birds of Prey (2020)
“The film succeeds as both a Harley Quinn vehicle and as an example of a superhero film with a feminist slant.”
-

“Overall, I found Downhill to be an enjoyable, if uneven dramedy that owes its moderate success to the strength of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s performance.”

Review: The Turning (2020)
“Once the narrative establishes the spookiness, the film falls into a pretty distinct pattern for the remaining eighty minutes: during the day, the kids are weird; during the night, the kids are still pretty weird, but now there are ghosts.”

Review: Dolittle (2020)
“You know that annoying co-worker in your office who cannot stop telling everyone how funny their eight-year-old is? Dolittle is that movie.”

Review: 1917 (2019)
“The film is visceral and difficult, not because it asked me to cheer for bloodshed, but because the film captures the true goal of battle, survival, through the magnificent cinematography on display.”

Review: Little Women (2019)
“Tears actively rolled down my cheeks at the overwhelming sweetness on screen.”

Review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
“I went in with relatively low expectations and I left with a giddy smile. Though there were a series of troubling decisions for The Last Jedi lovers (like myself), this movie delivers on my personal wishes for a Star Wars movie: cool characters in cool costumes with cool weapons fight stuff cool.”

Review: Jojo Rabbit (2019)
“For obvious marketing reasons, trailers and advertisements for the film already told you the movie is an “anti-hate satire,” instead of, say, “the funniest Nazis you’ve seen all year.””

Review: Knives Out (2019)
“Knives Out (2019) is a fun showcase for a wonderful cast that serves as a slap across the face of the entitled.”
