There’s no better filmmaker to usher back in the modern age of must-see blockbuster entertainment than James Cameron, and his “Avatar: The Way of Water” is the most visually incredible film I have ever seen. This gorgeous, technically advanc... Read the full review »

Ti West is a great visual director, and you can count on his films looking polished and amazing. Such is the case with “X,” the first film in his series of slashers (including the prequel, “Pearl,” and the upcoming “MaXXXine,” which is... Read the full review »

With a story about the need for human connection and the power of cinema, “Empire of Light” should have been a total winner from start to finish. Written and directed by Sam Mendes, the film is riddled with too many subplots and so many proble... Read the full review »

Director and co-writer Park Chan-wook‘s “Decision to Leave” is a slow-burn story of obsession, desire, and murder. This richly layered noir film offers a stylish homage to Hitchcock thrillers with its impressive visuals and intricate storyte... Read the full review »

“Emancipation” is exploitative in the most unpleasant way. Director Antoine Fuqua‘s film is inspired by a true story, but by mingling various genres (thriller, action, historical drama) and with a needlessly Oscar-baity performance from Will... Read the full review »

The greatest asset of writer / director James Gray‘s “Armageddon Time” is its simplicity. Gray doesn’t need an elaborate narrative to tell his autobiographical coming-of-age story and instead captures it perfectly on a small scale. Taking... Read the full review »

When it comes to good reasons to make a sequel to a beloved classic movie, “nostalgia” should never top the list. Yet here we are with the forgettable “A Christmas Story Christmas,” an unnecessary, unwanted, and unneeded follow-up to 1983�... Read the full review »
