We need to talk about Thor.
Let me back up for a second and explain. I love superhero movies. Marvel is by far my favorite cinematic universe. “Avengers: Infinity War” was on my Top 10 Best Films of the Year list. It pains me to say it, but �... Read the full review »

“The Dirt” knows its audience and plays to it. Based on the bestselling autobiography from the legendary band Mötley Crüe, the film tells the story of four misfits who rise to stardom through a combination of sex, drugs, talent, and outrageo... Read the full review »

When you hear that DC Comics is bringing yet another superhero to the big screen, the news likely follows with a groan of both exhaustion and presumed mediocrity. I will admit this was my initial reaction to “Shazam,” a character that few outs... Read the full review »

I get the feeling that “The Beach Bum” is exactly what it would be like to spend a few days hanging out with actor Matthew McConaughey. When he isn’t shirtless playing the bongos while smoking premium weed, he’s wearing women’s clothing... Read the full review »

In the first female-led entry in the successful Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), “Captain Marvel” is a bit like its titular character: confident yet flawed. The gender politics are strong in this one, but that’s not the reason it left me dis... Read the full review »

Since “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” is not only the third installment in the “Dragon” film series but is also meant to be the last hurrah, you’d think it would be destined to become a lazy, apathetic sequel. While the majo... Read the full review »

The worst part of “Happy Death Day 2U,” the dull yet outlandish sequel to 2017’s “Happy Death Day,” is that it’s not really fun. Instead of delivering the straight-up slasher flick most will be expecting, this movie struggles to find a... Read the full review »

It’s time to make the Liam Neeson revenge thriller its own cinematic genre. “Cold Pursuit,” a wacky, strange opus of vengeful violence has little reason for existing — unless you delight in seeing Neeson do some good old fashioned killin�... Read the full review »

“Isn’t It Romantic” is one of those ‘what it could’ve been,’ self-aware satirical movies. At some point, it becomes the very thing it’s trying to mock, apparently attempting to poke fun at rom-com conventions by copying their own abs... Read the full review »

Although “Velvet Buzzsaw” has a crackerjack premise and one heck of a cinematic pedigree (from writer / director Dan Gilroy), it fails miserably. It is an irritating satire of a film that thinks is far more clever than it actually is, and it b... Read the full review »

I truly believe there’s a great movie just waiting to jump out of “Alita: Battle Angel,” the cyberpunk action film based on Yukito Kishiro’s popular cult manga series. But it’s just not there yet. While the film feels as though it’s ma... Read the full review »

When it comes to “What Men Want,” you’ve seen most (if not all) of it before. This gender-swapping comedy, loosely inspired by the Nancy Meyers’ 2000 movie “What Women Want,” flips the script so this time it’s a powerful businesswoma... Read the full review »

The timeless legend of King Arthur is repurposed for a new generation in “The Kid Who Would Be King,” a rapid-paced, old-fashioned, throwback quest story that’s great for kids as well as adults. The film recalls the heyday of the PG-appropri... Read the full review »

“Serenity” is a train wreck of a movie that’s not without its own unique charms. It’s wildly ridiculous but the bonkers absurdity is what makes it so riveting. You’ve probably never seen anything quite like this, a movie I can only descr... Read the full review »

That was my reaction to “Fighting With My Family,” a run-of-the-mill sports story that feels more like an extended ad for the WWE than the warm-hearted project it strives to be. The film is based on the true story of female wrestler P... Read the full review »

The tenderly funny yet sad bromance dramedy “Paddleton” gives a decidedly male perspective on friendship, mortality, and morality. This strange little movie about two misfit neighbors who embark on an emotional journey when one of them is diag... Read the full review »

The theme of isolation may make for a good story, but it also makes for a dreadfully boring movie. So is the problem with “The Sharks,” a coming-of-age story that is too quiet for its own good. Comprised mostly of filler like long, pensive sta... Read the full review »

Survival thriller meets creature feature in the bare-bones “Sweetheart,” director J.D. Dillard‘s follow-up to 2016’s mind-bending “Sleight.” This is a female-driven genre film with an unlikely hero, and it feels like a hybrid of “Clo... Read the full review »

“Corporate Animals” falls into the category of one of the worst cinematic offenders of all: the unfunny comedy. This movie is not even mildly amusing nor entertaining, and nothing about it works. It becomes evident just two minutes in, as the... Read the full review »

I’m far from a prude, but the big “twist” in “The Death of Dick Long” proved too much for me to take. It’s not the actual cause of Dick’s death that bothered me, it’s that the film went too far by taking the dramatic route instead... Read the full review »
