Pixels
“A boring excuse for a summer movie. Thinks talking about Donkey Kong is entertainment in and of itself.”
Aloft
“A frustratingly constructed screenplay. Never reaches the emotional high notes it’s trying to hit.”
Trainwreck
“Entertaining, but forgettable. Feels like a little bit of a letdown given Judd Apatow’s pedigree.”
Ant Man
“Fun and funny at times, but the lumpiness of the rewrites, clashes of tone rob the film.”
Mr. Holmes
“A sophisticated, sensitive and well-written drama featuring the brilliant detective at his most vulnerable.”
Self/less
“Shows its cards too early and follows too predictable a path. Store-brand Jason Bourne action.”
Amy
“Director Kapadia’s style is nothing short of brilliant as he is able to weave together an engaging narrative.”
Terminator Genisys
“Ramped up to ridiculous heights. It’s all so poorly plotted out that literally none of it is engaging.”
Ted 2
“Shines when sticking to the humor, which is just as gross as you would expect from Seth McFarlane.”
Dope
“Early moments of flourish…but the narrative takes it down different paths that stretch it way too thin.”
Jurassic World
“Overcomes misdeeds in its screenplay by giving us some thrilling dinosaur action.”
Spy
“Balances action and comedy to varying degrees. Mines some decent comedy out of familiar tropes.”
