The Girl on the Train
“Isn’t scandalous or outrageously batshit crazy enough to elevate the material it demands.”
Deepwater Horizon
“An emotionally surface-level drama, but the overall storytelling is done very well.”
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
“Feels like an odd hodgepodge of popular young adult series.”
Masterminds
“Zach Galifianakis’ affectations only distract from the okay-enough humor on display.”
The Magnificent Seven
“A pop-culture western. It’s been a while since a western was played as an action movie.”
Snowden
“Feels extremely one-sided and doesn’t allow audiences to make their own decision.”
Bridget Jones’s Baby
“Cheery and charming. This sequel definitely takes a step up from where Bridget left off.”
Blair Witch
“Ideas [are] brought up and abandoned too quickly; mythology never gets expanded upon.”
Sully
“A well-performed, acceptable tale of American heroism, despite Eastwood’s complete lack of subtlety.”
The Light Between Oceans
“Bathed in exquisitely aching restraint and soul-rending inner turmoil, its potboiler escapist theater.”
Yoga Hosers
“What the hell happened to Kevin Smith and his ability to tell a funny story on a movie screen?”
Southside with You
“Brims with smartly-written conversations and subtly funny moments.”
