Movie reviews and Cinefest showtimes.
Amazingly enough, the most interesting thing about “The Zookeeper’s Wife” is Jessica Chastain’s horrible Polish accent. This sort of sums up the problems with Niki Caro’s biopic: it fails to make a moving Holocaust story […]
Grade: A- Verdict: It’s moving and slyly profound. And it’s about cats. What more could you want? This film is being billed at Landmark Midtown as “Nine Lives: The Cats of Istanbul.” It’s a horrible […]
Soooooo, “Get Out.” Wowzas. It’s great, and pretty much everyone knows it’s great and have already talked about its greatness, so it feels a bit fruitless to reiterate what everybody’s already saying. But I’ve got […]
Grade: A- Verdict: “John Wick: Chapter Two” has all the wild knifing and stabbing of the first film, plus another dog! This sequel is, in a word, awesome. Fans of the first will be more […]
Grade: A Verdict: “I Am Not Your Negro” is great. Period. Everything about it is great. See it. Raoul Peck has performed a sizable miracle with “I Am Not Your Negro.” He has managed to […]
It’s that time of year again, folks. It’s the Oscars’ 89th year of in-house ass slapping, so by some mysterious transient property, we must all now reflect on what Hollywood deems the most important movies […]
With Valentine’s Day on our doorstep, it’s important to remind ourselves that “elegance” stops at the romantic dinner and chocolate boxes. No matter how suave we think we are, we’re all kinda grody in the […]
Grade: C- Verdict: “Split” has some effective tension, but largely passes up on opportunities to up the ante. This movie isn’t, uhm, good? But we’re dealing with M. Night Shyamalan, so who really cares about […]
Grade: D Verdict: Michael Keaton is great and this movie isn’t the stupidest, but by god, it was a chore to sit through. McDonald’s, as we all know, is not really regarded as a fresh […]
Grade: A- Verdict: “Silence” isn’t superbly crafted, hindered by unnecessary length and bloat, but its ideas about religion and faith make up for it all, and more. At first glance, “Silence” may seem like an […]
