Movie reviews and Cinefest showtimes.
Grade: D Recommendation: Don’t do it to yourself. Verdict: “Inferno” is confused, obvious, and boring. It also hates on disillusioned young people. Lame piece of work. Ron Howard’s back in the “Da Vinci Code” […]
Grade: A Verdict: “Shin Godzilla” is a raucous, wonderful film, bringing back a version of the monster we don’t often see. It’s about time the Japanese took back Godzilla. Our efforts as Americans to take […]
Grade: D Recommendation: No. Stay home and watch “Deadwood” on Amazon prime. Verdict: “The Magnificent Seven” remake is boring and bland, in spite of its overpowered cast. Surprise, surprise, “The Magnificent Seven” is not […]
Grade: C Recommendation: For devoted JT fans only. Verdict: It’s muddled and telling only one side of the story. This documentary is more of a plea for mercy than an explanation of a strange phenomenon. […]
Grade: B Recommendation: Give it a watch. The film “Disorder” may be a French language film playing at your local arthouse, but don’t assume that means it’s an artsy fartsy kind of movie. It’s […]
Recommendation: Watch “The Babadook” instead for similar ideas in a much better movie When I bought my ticket to “Lights Out” a theater employee said, “Watch out, your power bill is about to […]
Recommendation: Yes, wholeheartedly yes, see it now Verdict: “Sausage Party” is smart, funny and in-touch with all of the divisions it pokes fun at. If you spend your time surrounded by easily butt-hurt “whimper-me-this” […]
Recommendation: Maybe– Worth a Redbox, but skip the theater prices. Verdict: “Captain Fantastic” has some good laughs, but struggles to strike a balance between its jokes and emotional core. It’s not great and probably […]
Grade: B- Verdict: A movie that focused on spectacle over plot, the new “Ghostbusters” reboot was visually pleasing but empty at the core. There was little character development, but the comedy was decent and the […]
Grade: B- Verdict: See it once for the experience, then forget it. “The Shallows” doesn’t offer more than 90 minutes of semi-scary distraction, but that’s fine with me. ____________________________________________ It took me a long time […]
