Collateral Beauty Review

December 16, 2016

"We are all connected" reads the tagline to Collateral Beauty. Yes we are, connected in a general consensus that this movie is terrible.

Manchester By The Sea Review

December 11, 2016

Manchester by the Sea is a raw and realistic portrait of grief. Combining elements of life, death, and (surprisingly) humor, this is a drama not to be missed.

Allied Review

November 21, 2016

Allied has some slow moments and tonal shifts, but it remains a stylish and tense World War II romantic thriller.

Hacksaw Ridge Review

November 16, 2016

The focus on gratuitous violence in Hacksaw Ridge feels like a contradiction in the face of its pacifist message.

Arrival Review

November 13, 2016

Arrival is cerebral sci-fi that leaves an impact.

The Edge of Seventeen Review

November 6, 2016

The Edge of Seventeen balances just the right amount of comedy and drama for a hilarious, relatable, and emotional tale of teen angst.

The Accountant Review

October 26, 2016

The Accountant is an enigma. There are elements of greatness here. However, the plot is too jumbled to put all of the pieces together and achieve that greatness.

The Girl on the Train Review

October 12, 2016

The Girl on the Train has a lot of potential, but this train never takes off.

The Dressmaker Review

October 9, 2016

The Dressmaker looks stylish, but upon closer inspection you'll find it's a hot mess of tonal shifts and shallow characters.

Sully Review

September 19, 2016

Sully gives its audience an intense and compelling look at what took place surrounding Flight 1549's landing in the Hudson River. The results will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning is an entertaining summer blockbuster. Due to lackluster villains and too many plot lines, it does not soar to the heights of Fallout and Rogue Nation but, let me tell you, Ethan Hunt is the only man in the galaxy who could take on this mission. The entity did not tell me to say that either.

The Death of a Unicorn Review

Death of a Unicorn blends too many themes and repetitive scenarios resulting in a mess of a mythological folk tale.

The Brutalist Review

The Brutalist contains some impressive performances and technically great filmmaking, but the chaotic second act and overly bloated runtime left me feeling it’s massively overhyped.

A Complete Unknown Review

A Complete Unknown is a film that folk fans can appreciate this holiday season. Timothée Chalamet is an acting powerhouse as the enigmatic Bob Dylan.

Red One Review

Besides that, I didn’t find much to enjoy in this odd and overstuffed mess. I would not recommend Red One this holiday season. Unfortunately, it is neither festive nor fun. It is game over though, so that counts for something.

Anora Review

Anora is a gritty tale of excess, classism, and the hope of the American dream. The film contains great performances with a star-making turn by Mikey Madison.

A Real Pain Review

A Real Pain is a fantastic character study on generational trauma, family dynamics, and complicated grief. It toes the line of comedy and drama to create a truly impressive film.
