Immortals (2011) 50% 6/10 EDIT “The director of Immortals, Tarsem, who also made The Cell and The Fall, is talented at fooling us into thinking that looking cool is good enough, and so I drank in the gory violence like spring water at an oasis.” – Slashfilm Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) 51% C EDIT “As dicey as it all is narratively, Abrams' milk earnest thrills out of acts of unity writ large, and find a corny emotional buoyancy in heartfelt reunions.” – The Playlist Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 70% C- EDIT “The cast does everything possible to inject emotional energy into this slashing, crashing sequel, but in the end, even their efforts are ground up by the action movie machine.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Furious 7 (2015) 81% EDIT “Why are you even reading a Furious 7 review?” – Slashfilm May 10, 2019 Full Review Avengers: Endgame (2019) 94% EDIT “Endgame reaches a conclusion that is not only spectacularly satisfying, but thematically powerful.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Clash of the Titans (2010) 27% 2/10 EDIT “Clash of the Titans was crafted as a 2D film and has irredeemable problems beyond the fact that it has been converted into 3D.” – Slashfilm Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Shazam! (2019) 90% B+ EDIT “Shazam! is bright and colorful, both visually and emotionally, and is a nimble, effervescent take on the superhero origin story.” – The Playlist Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% B- EDIT “'Captain Marvel' flies high and fast, but struggles with narrative turbulence.” – The Playlist Mar 5, 2019 Full Review Cold Pursuit (2019) 68% EDIT “Self-awareness gives their endeavor an advantage over all the other similar films Neeson has made in the past decade.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Mary Poppins Returns (2018) 79% EDIT “Fantasy and whimsy become a lot less fantastic and whimsical when copied and repeated.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Roma (2018) 96% EDIT “This is an exceptional movie, powerful and stark, and beautiful.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) 36% EDIT “It's the big-screen version of a Netflix series, an ineffective rehash with all the bells and whistles of the Harry Potter movies, but almost none of the magic that made them work.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) 60% EDIT “Larger-than-life performances energize a shallow highlight reel.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Border (2018) 97% EDIT “Melander's performance is remarkable. Director and co-writer Ali Abbasi brilliantly conjures an unlikely eroticism as Vore literally sniffs out Tina's desire...” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018) 66% EDIT “The cruelty in Quixote often plays as if it is rooted in the director himself.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Luz (2018) 88% EDIT “Thanks to Singer's skills and two unwavering performances from Velis and Blurhardt, Luz is a striking, impressive debut.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review In Fabric (2018) 92% EDIT “Sure, tell friends about the wild "killer dress" movie, but only because that trips off the tongue a lot easier than "subversively provocative meta-thriller about the perils of object-based definitions of personal identity in the late stages of capitalism” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review The Perfection (2018) 71% EDIT “The Perfection wants to be an indulgent, overripe revenge fantasy, but a rotten core makes it impossible to enjoy.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Climax (2018) 69% EDIT “This movie performs a mesmerizing dance that drives characters and audience alike straight into a whirling hellscape - and it is incredible.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% EDIT “David Gordon Green gives Laurie Strode the movie she deserves.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 23, 2018 Full Review The Little Stranger (2018) 64% EDIT “Domhnall Gleeson and Ruth Wilson dominate a spooky cold war between classes.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Aug 31, 2018 Full Review The History of Future Folk (2012) 93% EDIT “What I found was something better: a gentle and smart film that mines great jokes from the alienation of being a genuine alien, and which tackles relationships and family issues just as easily as it crafts catchy songs.” – Slashfilm Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Tomb Raider (2018) 52% EDIT “The grunty, superficially ruthless realism prized by the filmmakers needs something with more substance, a sturdy frame of 2x4s rather than a wisp of paper and a couple of missing dads.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Mar 14, 2018 Full Review The Hurricane Heist (2018) 47% EDIT “A goofy caper almost brisk enough to escape its shortcomings.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Mar 10, 2018 Full Review The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) 22% EDIT “Precisely which bits [from the source material] were warped out of shape as the film journeyed to become a Cloverfield pseudo-sequel is difficult to discern, but the end result is a failed experiment.” – Birth.Movies.Death.
