“The Cloverfield Paradox” is a lifeless, predictable sci-fi “thriller” that you’ve seen done far better many times before. It feels like a lame episode of “Black Mirror” or a dumbed-down version of sharper, smarter genre films. It’... Read the full review »

The dreadfully boring “The Clapper” is a pathetic attempt at a quirky romantic comedy. The film is the adaptation of writer and director Dito Montiel’s 2007 novel Eddie Krumble is the Clapper, a story of a less than ambitious man who makes a... Read the full review »

When you sit down and think about it, “Avengers: Infinity War” already has several unfair hurdles to overcome. It’s a highly-anticipated film with a massive budget (rumored to be topping the $300 million range) and even bigger expectations f... Read the full review »

The sleazy exploitation flick “Traffik” tries to disguise itself as a socially important film but fails. Instead, it’s unpleasant, distasteful, and trashy.

The good news is that Broken Lizard fans don’t need to set the bar too low for “Super Troopers 2,” the long-awaited (by some) sequel to 2001’s idiot cop film “Super Troopers.” Anyone who thought the gags from the original (like chuggin... Read the full review »

An average woman with serious bouts of insecurity has a nasty fall at the gym and wakes up believing she is the most beautiful woman alive. That’s the premise of “I Feel Pretty,” the new comedy starring comedian Amy Schumer. From the sound o... Read the full review »

What is it with characters in disaster movies? You know the ones, they’re either military commandos or hotshots who think they know better than everyone else. At a time of crisis, they never listen to the people who actually know how to defeat t... Read the full review »

The Kennedys may be one of America’s most celebrated families, their political legacy one that’s bursting with tragedy and intrigue. The true story of the night of July 18, 1969, when a likely drunken Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge and... Read the full review »

Missed opportunities are the order of the day with “Blockers,” a surprisingly laughless if heartfelt tale of three young women who make a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. The movie tries so hard to be progressive by flipping the scr... Read the full review »

Hollywood is running out of fresh and original ideas, so it looks like unimaginative reboots are here to stay. The latest that none of us asked for is “Tomb Raider,” Warner Brothers’ attempt to get the ball rolling again on a abandoned adven... Read the full review »

“Isle of Dogs” reminds me of a mountain of rich chocolate ice cream: it’s tantalizing to look at and you can’t wait to dive in, but after you get two thirds of the way through, brain freeze and the overwhelming sweetness cause you to push... Read the full review »

The biggest mistake you’ll make when watching “A Quiet Place” isn’t making a sound — it’s using logic to overanalyze the story. This film is so full of plot holes that it’s best not to think about it too much or the utter implausibil... Read the full review »

“Ready Player One” dishes out a liberal serving of memberberries piled-high atop a generic, hollow bowl. It’s a film that relies so heavily on sweet nostalgia that half of its budget must’ve been spent on securing the rights to the cavalca... Read the full review »

The teen-centric “Flower” is neither particularly insightful nor shocking to anyone well versed in indie movies. Directed by Max Winkler and co-written with Matt Spicer (“Ingrid Goes West”), the film mixes teenage angst with bouts of (supp... Read the full review »

Dreadfully unfunny and surprisingly violent, “The Death of Stalin” is a huge historical misfire. I love political satire as much as anyone, but this film is insufferable with its back-slapping, elitist brand of supposed “humor.”

Just as its title would suggest, “The Hurricane Heist” is a literal-minded movie in every sense of the word. Not only is the plot about an attempted $600 million heist at the United States Mint in Alabama during a Category 5 storm, but the scr... Read the full review »

“Thoroughbreds” opens with a scene that on the surface seems fairly tame — a teenage girl stares deeply into the eyes of her horse while petting his head. As the camera lingers, unflinching, for several minutes, things start to get really un... Read the full review »
