Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) 79% 5.4/10 EDIT “Yan and Robbie and these Birds are able to fly free of the restraints that had been put on them in the past. You might just wish they stop flapping wildly all over the place, crashing into every corner of every wall, ultimately going nowhere in particular” – Paste Magazine Feb 10, 2020 Full Review A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) 95% 8.3/10 EDIT “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood does the work. It asks you to be kind. But it doesn't forget to remind you why.” – Paste Magazine Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Ad Astra (2019) 83% 7.3/10 EDIT “[James] Gray is too skilled a filmmaker to leave us wandering and astray. And in Pitt, he has a solid emotional center that the audience will still follow anywhere, even if it's to the ends of the solar system just to confront his daddy issues.” – Paste Magazine Sep 18, 2019 Full Review It: Chapter Two (2019) 62% 5.4/10 EDIT “It, Chapter Two is nearly three hours, and it feels every second of its running time, oddly meandering when it should be barreling toward its conclusion.” – Paste Magazine Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% 8.7/10 EDIT “This is a movie I suspect you'll someday want to put on like an old pair of slippers. It's his warmest movie since Jackie Brown. It is imperfect and erratic and sometimes infuriating. But it is nearly impossible not to love.” – Paste Magazine Jul 26, 2019 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 52% 4.7/10 EDIT “[The Lion King] feels like computers attempting to impersonate real life and doing so with such rigid, determined accuracy that the result feels both emotionless and even a little ghoulish.” – Paste Magazine Jul 19, 2019 Full Review Toy Story 4 (2019) 96% A- EDIT “This franchise is so generous, and so obviously precious to those who work on it, that we shouldn't have doubted. This one more than justifies its existence. I'm ready for four more.” – Paste Magazine Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Men in Black: International (2019) 23% C- EDIT “It turns out, after the third attempt to recapture the magic of the first film, that the Men in Black universe is not a particularly compelling one after all.” – Paste Magazine Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% B EDIT “Captain Marvel, like many MCU movies, sometimes labors under the weight of having to tell its own story while still connecting to the larger, ongoing saga, but it has no issues with justifying its main character.” – Paste Magazine Mar 5, 2019 Full Review Climax (2018) 69% A- EDIT “The immediate thrill of Climax, [Gaspar] Noe's newest and unquestionably best film, is how, for the first time, you see him letting go a little bit, releasing some of his notorious control, letting his films and his characters breathe a little bit.” – Paste Magazine Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Glass (2019) 37% C- EDIT “This is Shyamalan at his worst, a speechifying, moralizing scold who wants your adoration but doesn't want to put in the effort, or himself at risk, to earn it.” – Paste Magazine Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Vice (2018) 64% C EDIT “McKay is a smart, talented guy, and his voice is needed, particularly on the topics that he's most interested. But first he has to figure out precisely what he wants to say.” – Paste Magazine Dec 17, 2018 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% A EDIT “It celebrates humanity by focusing intensely on it, in all its glories and failings.” – Paste Magazine Oct 11, 2018 Full Review 22 July (2018) 80% B- EDIT “Essentially "United 93" with "The 9/11 Commission Report" tacked onto the end of it.” – Paste Magazine Oct 10, 2018 Full Review The Old Man & the Gun (2018) 93% A- EDIT “It's a story about how the years go by, and who we are. It's a story about all of us.” – Paste Magazine Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Life Itself (2018) 13% C- EDIT “None of the characters in Life Itself are interesting on their own, so Fogelman attempts to gin them up some fake pathos through death, either theirs or someone near them.” – Paste Magazine Sep 21, 2018 Full Review The Happytime Murders (2018) 23% D EDIT “This is a movie whose mouth you want to wash out with soap.” – Paste Magazine Aug 24, 2018 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% A- EDIT “BlacKkKlansman is as imperfect and wandering as almost all of Lee's great movies but made with their same intense passion; this is a filmmaker who always matches the emotion of the occasion.” – Paste Magazine Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Sorry to Bother You (2018) 93% B+ EDIT “Sorry to Bother You has so many ideas busting out of every seam, so much ambition, so much it so urgently wants to say, that it feels almost churlish to point out that the movie ends up careening gloriously out of control.” – Paste Magazine Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) 62% B- EDIT “If the original Sicario had not existed, I bet we'd all give Sicario: The Day of the Soldado a lot more slack.” – Paste Magazine Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) 87% C+ EDIT “Occasionally agreeable but ultimately disposable, [it's] a bauble that feels less like a fun side journey and more like a waste of everybody's time.” – Paste Magazine Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 97% B EDIT “The glimpses into Rogers' day-to-day life are the film's high points, even if they leave you wanting more. You come away amazed that he existed at all.” – Paste Magazine Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Deadpool 2 (2018) 83% B EDIT “Deadpool 2 is at its best when it cheerfully doesn't give a sh-t. The more it cared, the less I did.” – Paste Magazine May 18, 2018 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% B- EDIT “You can feel the two versions of Solo: A Star Wars Story tugging at each other throughout.” – New York Magazine/Vulture May 15, 2018 Full Review I Feel Pretty (2018) 35% C+ EDIT “The movie keeps trying the bank shot of propping up its crazed premise while its lead actress, gamely, almost bravely, tries to undercut it.” – Paste Magazine Apr 20, 2018 Full Review
