Rating T-Meter Title | Year Review
2/5 50% Tomb Raider (2018) Tomb Raider is one of those movies that seems to have been engineered with nothing more on its mind than winning the box-office sweepstakes for a weekend or two before evaporating from the minds of most moviegoers.‐ eFilmCritic.com

1/5 16% Dear Dictator (2018) Something about Dear Dictator really rubbed me the wrong way. As comedy, it is utterly devoid of laughs. As social commentary, it is audacious only in how utterly condescending it ultimately proves to be.‐ eFilmCritic.com

1/5 40% A Wrinkle in Time (2018) Despite all of the emotional moments on display, DuVernay never manages to really earn any of them and they wind up getting overwhelmed by the constant barrage of special effects (which are surprisingly chintzy in a couple of instances).‐ eFilmCritic.com

1/4 43% The Hurricane Heist (2018) One of the dumbest variations of the weather-based action thriller subgenre that I have ever seen.‐ RogerEbert.com

4/5 47% Red Sparrow (2018) As a defiantly old-fashioned spy narrative, an occasionally bracing examination of gender politics and as a showcase for another strong performance by Jennifer Lawrence, it is enough of a success.‐ eFilmCritic.com

5/5 87% Annihilation (2018) Annihilation is the kind of film that will endure the test of time, even as it no doubt fades away quickly at the multiplex, and confirms Alex Garland as one of the most exciting new filmmakers working today.‐ eFilmCritic.com

5/5 97% Black Panther (2018) Black Panther is more than good enough and not only does it live up to those sky-high expectations, it pretty much exceeds them. The rare areas in which it stumbles are things that can be easily adjusted before the arrival of the inevitable sequel.‐ eFilmCritic.com

3/4 92% Western (2018) A slow burn of a drama with a restrained tone that may put off some viewers, but which will captivate those who responded to its low-key wavelength.‐ RogerEbert.com

1.5/4 25% Samson (2018) While it cannot be faulted for its sincerity, it can be faulted for its sluggish pacing, inconsistent performances and lack of cinematic style that gives the proceedings a tacky feel throughout.‐ RogerEbert.com

1/5 13% Fifty Shades Freed (2018) Although Fifty Shades Freed is mostly too boring to even work as camp, there are two moments where I did indeed laugh out loud and only one of them was of the inadvertent variety. ‐ eFilmCritic.com

4/5 8% Basmati Blues (2018) Larson's work in Basmati Blues is much like the film as a whole-not great by any means but undeniably charming nevertheless.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Feb 9, 2018
1/5 25% The 15:17 to Paris (2018) Although somewhat interesting from a conceptual perspective, The 15:17 to Paris is a failure in pretty much every other area.‐ eFilmCritic.com

1/5 16% The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) Maybe the people who made that upcoming "Cloverfield" project will have enough time to do reshoots to return itself to its original standalone status so that it can avoid the taint of this sucker.‐ eFilmCritic.com

1.5/4 11% Scorched Earth (2018) Watching [Carano] is fun for a little bit, but seeing her talents thoroughly wasted becomes more depressing than anything else.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Feb 2, 2018
4/5 75% Small Town Crime (2018) The best thing about Small Town Crime is the performance by John Hawkes.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Jan 19, 2018
4/5 73% Mom and Dad (2018) As audaciously plotted and cheerfully grotesque B-movies go, this one more or less gets the job done with equal amounts of humor, energy and inspiration.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Jan 19, 2018
5/5 91% Phantom Thread (2018) Phantom Thread is a great, great film and one of the most genuinely romantic dramas I have seen in a long time.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Jan 12, 2018
.5/4 0% Acts of Violence (2018) A gross, creepy and generally tacky piece of claptrap.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Jan 12, 2018
2.5/4 74% In the Fade (Aus dem Nichts) (2017) Contains many of the same inherent flaws as most movies of this type, and not even the genuinely good and powerful aspects on display are quite able to overcome the more troublesome elements.‐ RogerEbert.com

1/5 51% Downsizing (2017) The best thing that one can possibly say about Downsizing is that it is such a mess that it feels as if Payne is getting rid of all of his bad ideas in one fell swoop as a way of clearing the creative decks.‐ eFilmCritic.com

3.5/4 67% Happy End (2017) Old Haneke is back with a vengeance.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Dec 22, 2017
5/5 90% Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) It is the best and most innovative Star Wars film to come along in a long time and you would think that this would inspire celebration in the streets among longtime fans of the franchise. ‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Dec 21, 2017
1/5 31% Wonder Wheel (2017) [Wonder Wheel] is a truly disappointing effort from one of the great writer-directors in the history of American cinema that is as lazy and uninspired as anything he has ever done before.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Dec 8, 2017
4/5 91% The Disaster Artist (2017) The Disaster Artist misses its shot at greatness but it is still an enormously entertaining work that serves as a celebration of the artistic process.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Dec 1, 2017
2/5 51% Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017) It is not a total failure by any means but, unlike its title character, it proves itself to be far to willing to settle and move on instead of trying to do something riskier and more potentially rewarding.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Nov 22, 2017
4/5 97% Coco (2017) The film, despite its ostensibly creepy trappings, is a good, if not great, run through the standard Pixar formula that is bolstered by its distinct visual style and the long-overdue expansion of its cultural palette.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Nov 22, 2017
2/4 80% The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) A saccharine stab at a new holiday perennial that tries to fuse the classic Yuletide yarn with a Shakespeare In Love-style literary origin story and manages to let both of them down.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Nov 22, 2017
5/5 92% Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) This is a darkly funny, deeply moving and always audacious high wire act of a film that, much like its unforgettable heroine, obeys none of the rules or niceties and is all the more memorable and exciting because of it.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Nov 17, 2017
3/4 94% The Breadwinner (2017) While the film may suffer when it comes to the details, it does have a certain undeniable power in its broad strokes.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Nov 17, 2017
2/5 40% Justice League (2017) ... the film is a leaden, lugubrious mess that has a few engaging moments and performances that are often overwhelmed by noisy setpieces, a screenplay that only flirts with coherence... ‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Nov 16, 2017
5/5 99% Lady Bird (2017) ... "Lady Bird" is a nearly perfect film-perhaps of the funniest and most endearing coming-of-age film to come along since "Rushmore.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Nov 10, 2017
4/5 92% Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Thor comes as a genuine and welcome surprise.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Nov 3, 2017
5/5 69% Wonderstruck (2017) While the younger audience may not come to it in the droves that it might have inspired if the Disney name had been behind it, it's quite likely that those who do get to see it will not only adore it but will one day pass it on to their own children.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Oct 27, 2017
79% The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) I just felt that the whole thing failed to live up to the promise held out by both the film's early scenes and the filmmaking skills that Lanthimos has displayed in his previous efforts. ‐ eFilmCritic.com

1.5/4 13% Geostorm (2017) Really could have used a Sharknado or two to liven things up.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Oct 20, 2017
3/4 87% Only the Brave (2017) Made with a combination of sincerity and technical skill that is effective on a fundamental level, even if it never quite becomes the devastating emotional experience that it clearly wants to be.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Oct 19, 2017
4/5 92% Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) The film is graced with a couple of undeniably effective performances at its center. ‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Oct 13, 2017
5/5 87% Blade Runner 2049 (2017) Blade Runner 2049 is a stunner through and through, a film that works both as a continuation to an all-time classic and as a superior cinematic experience in its own right.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Oct 5, 2017
3/5 86% American Made (2017) The story of Barry Seal is indeed a fascinating one but this film just doesn't know what to do with it-it is the kind that makes you want to immediately seek out a book or straightforward documentary that offer a fuller picture of what transpired.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Sep 29, 2017
4/5 67% The Ice Cream Truck (2017) The film may not be perfect by any means but viewers who are looking for something a bit different and who are willing to weather some strange tonal shifts along the way should probably check it out.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Sep 28, 2017
3/4 74% Gaga: Five Foot Two (2017) Manages to create a sense of intimacy and revelation, even as we sense that there is really no such thing as an unguarded moment for Lady Gaga.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2017
3.5/4 92% The Force (2017) A strong film that tackles a charged subject in a fair and even-handed manner. The Force will give viewers of all social and political persuasions much to think about afterwards.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Sep 22, 2017
5/5 91% Stronger (2017) Stronger is a really good, engaging and powerful film.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Sep 21, 2017
3/5 85% Battle of the Sexes (2017) The performances are strong, there are number of big laughs and legitimately emotional moments and the decision to shoot in 35mm gives the film a subtly authentic period flavor that helps to sell the proceedings.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Sep 21, 2017
2/4 36% Wetlands (2017) Other than the novelty of being the only example of a gritty crime drama featuring a key male character named Babs, there is absolutely nothing interesting or memorable to be found in Wetlands.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Sep 15, 2017
3/5 69% mother! (2017) I cannot bring myself to recommend [mother!] despite my admiration for Aronofsky and the actors.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Sep 14, 2017
2.5/4 70% The Unknown Girl (La fille inconnue) (2017) An odd fusion of an earnest socially conscious drama and a B-movie mystery programmer that never quite comes together despite a strong performance from Adele Haenel at its center.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Sep 8, 2017
1/4 0% Gun Shy (2017) Gun Shy somehow manages to come across as being both screechingly over-the-top and desperately, painfully dull at the same time.‐ RogerEbert.com
Read More | Posted Sep 8, 2017
3/5 85% It (2017) [It] is genuinely eerie and touches on a kind of fear far more universal and upsetting that killer clowns and such.‐ eFilmCritic.com
Read More | Posted Sep 7, 2017
2/4 25% Unlocked (2017) Neither good enough to justify the talents on display nor bad enough to at least make it perversely memorable.‐ RogerEbert.com
