In Theaters Review – Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Endgame, the 22nd entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, does its job of wrapping up the Infinity Stones storyline but ultimately feels like your typical Marvel film.
In Theaters Review: The Curse of La Llorona
The Curse of La Llorona isn’t necessarily a bad movie but it doesn’t do anything the least bit new while including a cheap twist to try upping its stock.
In Theaters Review: Hellboy
The 2019 version of Hellboy seems to have its heart in the right place but is a butchered mess of a film with a bad plot, unfunny jokes, and bland acting.
In Theaters Review: Shazam!
Shazam! continues a recent trend of satisfying superhero films from DC with plenty of comedy and heart despite a generic overall story.
In Theaters Review: Pet Sematary
The Stephen King renaissance continues with a very competent, if not spectacular, adaptation of King’s 1983 novel and remake of the 1989 film, Pet Sematary.
In Theaters Review: Dumbo
Tim Burton’s Dumbo continues the trend of wonderfully entertaining adaptations of the Disney classics and is one of Burton’s best films in a long time despite some bland characters.
In Theaters Review: Us
Jordan Peele’s second feature, Us, is a well made horror film with great acting but is also less focused and more nonsensical than its predecessor, Get Out.
In Theaters Review: Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel, the twenty-first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is one of the most generic, yet unbelievably smug, films ever made. Period.
In Theaters Review: Greta
Neil Jordan’s new film, Greta, tries to be a quality suspenseful thriller but is schizophrenic in tone and has a complete lack of subtlety on all fronts.
