In Fabric
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
...takes on a whole new meaning to making a startling fashion statement. [Strickland's] sense of warped imagination - meshed with an indescribable styling for extravagant color schemes and sinister tampering - makes for a flashy, flamboyant frightener

Ixcanul
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
Thankfully, Guatemalan filmmaker Jayro Bustamante has crafted an impressive and introspective debuted gem that fuels honesty and a compelling brand of insight tip-toeing through the tunnels of cultural triumph and tragedy.

Keeping Up With The Joneses
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
...an espionage action-comedy that meanders in its broad banality...is enough reason to have Keeping Up with the Joneses classified as an aborted mission to a lesser degree.

Kung Fu Panda 3
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
Thankfully, Kung Fu Panda 3 is just as fresh and frothy the third time around. Quite frankly, this infectious kiddie karate chop to the giddy soul is rather charming.

Landline
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
Overall, Landline is a decent depiction of a fruitless family at the crossroads. However, both Robespierre and Slate do once again deliver the comical confusion at the root of feminine angst and self-doubt.

Mid90s
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
Coming-of-age angst and self-discovery set against the skateboarding circuit...Hill spins a heartfelt tale of growing pains balanced by skateboarding rebellion, a sense of tribal belonging, and inescapable domestic disillusionment.

Money Monster
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
Money Monster has no real fresh ideas in the realm of TV sensationalism or finance stagnation and it certainly flirts around with a bankrupt aftertaste despite Clooney's impishness and charisma in addition to Roberts's infectious charm and radiance

Moonlight
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
...a power-driven drama. Jenkins still fuels his small, yet piercing exposition, with a cemented conviction that fortifies the serene rage and manages to instill a convincing dose of sympathy for the periled players in Miami's hidden haven of a hellhole.

Mother's Day
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
With previous dreck such as 2010's "Valentine's Day" and 2011's "New Year's Eve" one can imagine what other arbitrary calendar concoction that Marshall can lazily muster up to showcase as a companion piece to his string of hapless holiday treats?

Again, feel free to grab another baklava, but the aftertaste of this wedding calls for an immediate annulment from this bouncy, bickering bunch.

Nobody's Fool

Unfocused and a total mess in narrative sensibilities. Perry and Haddish again show audiences that we're the fool for lining up at the box office for this trippin' tripe.

Oasis: Supersonic
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
Feisty and unapologetic, Oasis: Supersonic impishly encourages a radical ride on Oasis' symbolically aforementioned "Champagne Supernova." The feral Gallaghers would probably prefer you travel without any safety hats.

Railroad Tigers
The Critical Movie Critics
Frank Ochieng
These "Tigers" claw their way into a frivolous lather but whether or not Chan's latest spectacle deserves a boarding pass to enjoy the same blueprint thrills . . . well, hey . . . would you rather see the sequel "Skiptrace 2"? I rest my case . . .

The crafty and colorful Sing Street could be perceived as the junior-sized extension of the aforementioned "Once" where lyrics and love methodically come together in unison.
