Ghostbusters | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | The new Ghostbusters is a hoot: a giddy, high-spirited slab of blockbuster fast food, the most impressive special effects the human beings at the heart of it. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Gone Girl | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | With the close-knit psychological ambiance of an early Roman Polanski film (particularly 1965's Repulsion) Fincher paints American middle class as a blood-curdling emotional danger zone. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Guardians of the Galaxy | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | Gunn doesn't so much reinvent the wheel as reshape it a little, giving the rest of the vehicle a fresh lick of paint in the process. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Hannah Gadsby: Nanette | The Daily Review/Crikey | Ben Neutze | That story is both funny and horrible, and Gadsby has told it over and over again. But this time, she doesn't just want to laugh it off. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Jen Kirkman: I'm Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine) | The Daily Review/Crikey | Daily Review | She's a natural raconteur, and her show is a cleverly crafted and perfectly delivered monologue that feelsmore like a natural conversation with your funniest friend than a contrived comedy show. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Locke | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | At the heart of it there is Hardy, whose performance is both deeply humane and oddly robotic: a man with a single purpose -- get to that destination -- pursued relentlessly. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Spider-Man: Homecoming | The Daily Review/Crikey | Gemma Pecorini Goodall | Holland's performance is wonderfully accompanied by a cast of talented young actors and seasoned veterans who provide an intellectual parallel for the millennial mindset. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
The Grand Budapest Hotel | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | While The Grand Budapest Hotel is delightfully good fun, it's the moments of pathos and black humour that reveal the scope of its achievements. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
The Hitman's Bodyguard | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | The mind wanders. There wasn't a lot to distract it in this content-to-be-unimaginative, tenuously scripted (by Tom O'Connor) odd couple B movie. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
The LEGO Movie | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | It's not that audiences (at least the older ones) don't realise they're watching a big and glossy advertisement. Because it's bright, fun and smart, they just don't care. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
X-Men: Days of Future Past | The Daily Review/Crikey | Luke Buckmaster | The surprise isn't spectacular set pieces, first-rate CGI or quality performances from an all-star cast. It's the brains behind the brawn: Days of Future Past is a tirelessly creative chunk of blockbuster bravado. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,313 |
Wanted | The Deadbolt | Jordan Riefe | They are the deadliest assassins the world has ever known. Genetically enhanced, they execute superhuman feats of death. No target has ever escaped alive. They are the Fraternity. It's not a very imaginative moniker, but then again they are in a movie cal | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 4 | 10 | 1 | 2,314 |
The Love Guru | The Deadbolt | Jordan Riefe | Greetings from The Love Guru, dispenser of wisdom in bite-size chewable chunks, a soulful man of infinite knowledge with three goals on his mind: the Stanley Cup... then Oprah and a shot at his rival, Deepak Chopra, to become the new celebrity prince of s | 8/10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | false | 7 | 10 | 1 | 2,314 |
Brave | The Deadbolt | Brian Tallerico | Beautiful character/environment design and spectacular voice work keep Brave a notch above much of the animated competition even if a straightforward story and lack of personality make this one of Pixar's least accomplished screenplays. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 2,315 |
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark | The Deadbolt | Brian Tallerico | There are Gothic elements that work, but the story simply isn't strong enough to support a remake and lackluster direction fails to iron out the flaws in this potential horror hit. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 2,315 |
Drive | The Deadbolt | Brian Tallerico | An amazing thriller, a modern examination of heroism filtered through the fairy tale culture of the underbelly of the movie machine that is easily one of the most memorable and effective films of not just this year but the last several. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 2,315 |
Horrible Bosses | The Deadbolt | Brian Tallerico | With stellar comic timing from the entire ensemble and a dark streak of edgy humor with just enough wit to make it not seem cruel, this is one of the straight-up funniest movies of the year. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 2,315 |
Martha Marcy May Marlene | The Deadbolt | Brian Tallerico | I can't shake this haunting work, one that increasingly grows in esteem the more I swirl it around my brain. It is undeniably one of the more memorable and intriguing works of 2011. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 2,315 |
Melancholia | The Deadbolt | Brian Tallerico | One of the best films of 2011, a stunningly original examination of that which is completely out of our control. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 2,315 |
The World's End | The Dissolve | Matt Singer | Coming at the end of a summer at the movies that's been apocalyptic in both theme and quality, The World's End feels timely and refreshing. | 9/10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | false | 8 | 10 | 1 | 2,316 |
The Haunted Palace | The Dissolve | Keith Phipps | Though a fine movie in its own right, The Haunted Palace feels a bit too familiar for its own good at times. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,317 |
When I Walk | The Dissolve | Noah Berlatsky | His life isn't his disease, and neither, after an uncertain start, is his lovingly collaborative film. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,317 |
Antebellum | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | The film ends up as a misjudged amalgam of horror and history, stumbling over its themes of the black experience and female empowerment, and ending up cringe-worthy to watch. | 1.5/4 | 4 | 1.5 | 4 | false | 1 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
Emma. | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | It's art directed within an inch of its rococo life, costumed as if by peacocks, and acted with enough verve to play to the second balcony...it's so filled with largesse, it feels more like a caricature than a romantic comedy. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
I Used to Go Here | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | Rey has a field day directing the talented cast she's put together to play the host of quirky characters she's written. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
Irresistible | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | ... it's too cutesy by half, and not nearly scathing enough in its indictment of our current electoral system. | 1.5/4 | 4 | 1.5 | 4 | false | 1 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
Never Rarely Sometimes Always | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | Filmmaker Eliza Hittman's feature...may have been made for a fraction of what the MCU spends on Robert Downey Jr.'s trailer, but it's more powerful than most anything at the cineplex these days. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
Scoob! | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | It all manages to be breezy fun...with almost as many in-jokes and cultural references as the AIRPLANE or SCARY MOVIE franchises in their heyday. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
She Dies Tomorrow | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | Amy Seimetz's film usurps horror conventions at every turn by avoiding cliches, spooling out intoxicating dread instead of jump-scares, and creating a subtle insidiousness that will have you puzzling over it long after the end credits roll. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
Superman: Red Son | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | WB's animation department is one of the best in the business, equal to Pixar for its savvy and game-changing work. Their adult fare continues to do so here with projects like SUPERMAN: RED SON. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
Tesla | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | The filmmaker's take on the man (Tesla) is not wholly successful, but you have to hand it to Almereyda, his movie has its own weird energy. | 2.5/4 | 4 | 2.5 | 4 | false | 3 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
The Hunt | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | As edgy commentaries about society go, it doesn't pack nearly the wallop that it should...both the right and the left get satirized to the point of caricature in the movie. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
The Invisible Man | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | Moss gives it her all, throwing herself into the role, literally and figuratively, with courageous abandon. Still, such attributes feel lost on a film far too content to render story logic and common sense as invisible as the bad guy. | 1.5/4 | 4 | 1.5 | 4 | false | 1 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
The Rental | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | The film is an insinuating and sly frightener that showcases Franco's ability with actors, his subtle creation of suspense, and avoidance of egregious cliches that too often plague the genre. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
To the Stars | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | It tries for scale and scope, striving to say profound things about sexism...commenting as much about today's times as those of the film's period. A lot of it rings true...but it is done with a heavy hand. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
You Don't Nomi | The Establishing Shot | Jeff York | And while a lot of You Don't Nomi is compelling, the documentary didn't convince me that Showgirls is worthy of that much analysis. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,318 |
A Quiet Place | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It's an intriguing setting and an interesting plot, and its simplicity is absolutely mesmerising. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
A Simple Favor | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | At times, the developments are imaginative, at other times, clichéd. It's this unevenness that keeps A Simple Favor from truly gripping the viewer or creating a properly thrilling episode. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Aladdin | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The film had a tough predecessor to live up to, and it simply isn't as vibrant or joyous as its 1992 counterpart, nor does it do anything creative enough to justify its existence. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Allied | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The plot has potential, but Allied is never given the chance to develop into a riveting thriller because of its dull script and uneven execution. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Battle of the Sexes | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris do a fine job defining the personal and cultural stakes of the event. However, they fail to make the narrative sufficiently gripping and suspenseful. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Cars 3 | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | There are plenty of cute moments and spectacular visuals and lots more merchandising opportunities, but there are also parts that aren't quite convincing. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Christopher Robin | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It takes a while for things to really get going, and if you feel like giving up on the film in the first half hour or so, you really shouldn't. The movie will soon win you over and you'll be rewarded with a sweet, warm adventure... | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Collide | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | If you're in the mood for some mindless action built around a threadbare plot, then Collide fits the bill. Otherwise, you're very likely to find this film downright disappointing. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The movie is definitely worth a watch and will fill at least some of the void that Breaking Bad left in our hearts after its end. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 10 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Escape Room | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It's not the smartest movie you'll ever watch, but if you're a fan of the horror-thriller genre, this film will keep you fairly entertained even if it won't quite dazzle you with its inventiveness. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
First Man | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | A compelling real-life story, an acclaimed director, impressive visuals, a good cast, First Man has so much going for it, which does not explain why the film is so underwhelming. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Ghost in the Shell | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | While the film may not have the depth you'd wish for, it does have an interesting premise at its core and offers some impressive action sequences and beautiful visuals. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Going in Style | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Some films try to bring out the best in their cast...Other movies just want to coast on the charisma of their stars without bothering to make an effort in any other department. Going in Style falls firmly in the latter category. | 2.75/5 | 5 | 2.75 | 5 | false | 7 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Happy Death Day 2U | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Happy Death Day 2U, writer and director Christopher Landon has thrown some Back to the Future into the mix and blended sci-fi, comedy, and horror into an enjoyable concoction. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Incredibles 2 | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The movie is well-executed and clearly made with a lot of skill and care. Visually, Incredibles 2 is impressive and the action sequences are well-made...But it all seems very formulaic... | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Keeping Up With The Joneses | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | A spy adventure that despite being powered by an impressive, talented cast, is disappointingly dull and devoid of any significant laughs. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Legend of the Sword is still a watchable - albeit ultimately forgettable - adventure that will keep you (somewhat) engaged as you while away a lazy summer evening. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Life | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Life keeps revisiting familiar territories, but Daniel Espinosa's space adventure does offer some suspense and manages to avoid several clichés along the way. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Live By Night | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It is quite disappointing that [Affleck's] latest project, Live by Night, fails to deliver anything interesting, compelling, or original. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 4 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Logan Lucky | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Despite the overall impressive filmmaking though, there are a few subplots that aren't handled quite as smoothly as the main arc. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 10 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Even when it seems devoid of artistic merit or frantically, ineffectively searching for a reason to exist, you're having too much fun singing along... to complain about the film's shortcomings (which, if you stop to think about it, are many). | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Men in Black International | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | We have ended up with a movie that is likely to leave viewers wishing to be neuralysed in order to forget they were subjected to this banal retread. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 2 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Miss Sloane | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Director John Madden has crafted a stylish drama but hasn't imbued it with the depth that could have made the film more intriguing. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Murder Mystery | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | While it may be competently - if unexceptionally - made, the project basically struggles with being inventive. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Ocean's 8 | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The heist is never as thrilling as it should be. Ocean's 8 is a typical, by-the-numbers heist caper that never turns into something special. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Paddington 2 | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It is all silly, zany and utterly delightful. Paddington 2 is a masterclass in filmmaking for children, and a brilliant example of what filmmakers can achieve with relative simplicity... | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 16 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Passengers | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The movie doesn't have the guts to delve into the intensity and heartache that the setup demands and instead settles for absurdity and clichés. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 4 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Ready Player One | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | There are definitely seeds of an interesting premise here, but unfortunately, they degenerate into a bundle of clichés overloaded with pop culture allusions. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Secret Obsession | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | There isn't much the cast can do with the staid material they are burdened with. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Skiptrace | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Ultimately, despite its generic storyline and overall ridiculousness, Skiptrace remains surprisingly watchable, mostly because of its affable leads and the steady supply of humour. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Spider-Man: Homecoming | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Spider-Man: Homecoming plays like a coming of age tale in an action-packed superhero setting, and gives us what is perhaps the best portrayal of its titular character. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 10 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Storks | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | On the whole, Storks is an uneven, at times even lacklustre film. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Tag | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | An interesting story alone isn't enough, and Tag struggles to turn its unique premise into an impressive full length feature. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Accountant | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The movie could have been a lot more entertaining had the filmmakers focused on fewer threads and settled on a more consistent tone. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Boss Baby | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It will keep younger viewers occupied with its colourful animation and silly fun for 90 odd minutes while giving their parents the occasional chuckle on its way to its predictable conclusion. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Emoji Movie | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The story is downright nonsensical. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Great Wall | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | If only the filmmakers had focused a little less on CGI-driven action and more on character development and a better script, they might have been able to come up with something that was actually enjoyable. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 4 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Greatest Showman | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | Has several elements that suggest the final piece will be stellar. However, it ultimately ends up failing to turn its promising individual components into an impressive whole. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 6 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Hitman's Bodyguard | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | On the whole, while it isn't exactly an example of great filmmaking, The Hitman's Bodyguard does take you on a fun, two-hour long ride. Just don't expect it to bring anything new to the genre or surprise you in any way. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Silence | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | The Silence doesn't manage to captivate its audience like it should, and it certainly doesn't bring anything new to its genre. Ultimately, the greatest thing it achieves is that it makes the viewer appreciate A Quiet Place even more. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 2 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
The Zookeeper's Wife | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | While its somewhat restrained execution may keep the story from fully coming to life, The Zookeeper's Wife is still a well-made movie that benefits from a very talented cast. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
To All the Boys I've Loved Before | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | A well-intentioned, good-natured teen romance that plays it safe and ends up being blander than it should have been. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 8 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
Toy Story 4 | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Sameen Amer | It may not be a sequel we needed, but it's so downright charming that you'll be glad we were blessed with this chapter anyway. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 12 | 17 | 4 | 2,319 |
VFW | The Film Stage | Jared Mobarak | Marry that carnage with performances hinged upon authenticity specifically because of what kind of film this is rather than despite it and you're in for an entertaining treat. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 6 | 10 | 1 | 2,320 |
Them That Follow | The Film Stage | Matt Cipolla | It sounds good enough, but its attempts to slink around gender and supernatural clichés are too repetitive and lacking character to make its point feel more than moot. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 2,321 |
Ralph Breaks the Internet | The Film Yap | Christopher Lloyd | A fun, colorful and action-packed sequel that doesn't quite pass the 'Does this movie need to exist?' test. | 3.5/10 | 10 | 3.5 | 10 | false | 5 | 19 | 2 | 2,322 |
Ghost in the Shell | The Final Cut | Jason Di Rosso | Exudes a gleeful, slightly teenage fervour for glittering shards and urban decay, sweeping camera moves and punchy comic book close ups. | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 5 | 10 | 1 | 2,323 |
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines | The GWW | Nicola Austin | It's so good to see another outing for the often overlooked female hero of the DC trinity and there's definitely a lot to like about it. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 6 | 10 | 1 | 2,324 |
Antibirth | The Gate | Andrew Parker | I know this isn't a film for everyone, and I'm not even sure it's a film for me, but I knew that when I got to the gore, slime, and viscera soaked ending that I had seen something truly original and singular. | 3.1/5 | 5 | 3.1 | 5 | false | 21 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Bad Rap | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Shame about the title, but the film itself hits all the right beats. | 3.9/5 | 5 | 3.9 | 5 | false | 29 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Blood Father | The Gate | Andrew Parker | It likely won't change your opinions of Gibson one way or the other, but as a piece of entertainment that never takes itself more seriously than absolutely necessary, it's fine. | 3.4/5 | 5 | 3.4 | 5 | false | 24 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Creepy (Kuripi: Itsuwari no rinjin) | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Part psychological crime procedural and part domestic drama, Creepy marks another reinvention for Kurosawa as a filmmaker, delivering his best film in years. | 4.8/5 | 5 | 4.8 | 5 | false | 38 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Eva Hesse | The Gate | Andrew Parker | A full and compelling picture is painted of a major talent that the world lost far too soon. | 3.3/5 | 5 | 3.3 | 5 | false | 23 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
House On Willow Street | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Overall, it's a solid thriller with some well explored concepts that will keep viewers guessing even when they think they have everything figured out. | 3.1/5 | 5 | 3.1 | 5 | false | 21 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Imperium | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Ragussis delivers a solid little thriller worthy of the cast who agreed to participate in it. | 3.2/5 | 5 | 3.2 | 5 | false | 22 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
In a Valley of Violence | The Gate | Andrew Parker | It isn't quite as deep or clever as West's past efforts, but as a no-frills approximation of bottom-of-the-card-on-a-triple-bill drive-in fare goes, it does the trick. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 25 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Ixcanul | The Gate | Andrew Parker | It often feels like there are a few different movies going on within Ixcanul at the same time, but they're all well constructed enough to make it come together as a mostly cohesive whole. | 3.6/5 | 5 | 3.6 | 5 | false | 26 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Kill Command | The Gate | Andrew Parker | The plot is basically that of Walter Hill's Southern Comfort, but with robots instead of rednecks (something I never knew I wanted until I saw Kill Command) and a healthy dash of the Alien franchise thrown in for good measure. | 3.8/5 | 5 | 3.8 | 5 | false | 28 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Manhattan Night (Manhattan Nocturne) | The Gate | Andrew Parker | It's probably not something worth rushing out to cinemas for, but it's great afternoon viewing with a pack of smokes and a glass of scotch at the ready. | 3.1/5 | 5 | 3.1 | 5 | false | 21 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Moments of Clarity | The Gate | Andrew Parker | What we're left with is yet another inert, confused indie to toss onto the pile of similarly minded misfires. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
Old Stone (Lao Shi) | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Old Stone is a film that will haunt viewers' dreams for long after it ends. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 30 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
SoulMate | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Tsang approaches the material from a rather standard place, but it's a lot darker and weirder than it wants to admit. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 20 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years | The Gate | Andrew Parker | Like most documentaries Howard has made it's fine, if rather unnecessary. | 2.9/5 | 5 | 2.9 | 5 | false | 19 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
The Girl King | The Gate | Andrew Parker | It's hard not to wish that a better film could have come of The Girl King, but thanks to Buska there's a specialness to it that wouldn't have been brought to the project without her. | 2.7/5 | 5 | 2.7 | 5 | false | 17 | 41 | 10 | 2,325 |
