Let me begin with a few positive notes.
Harrison Ford gives a strong performance in this film, far better than his old Han Solo in The Force Awakens. It's a shame this material isn't stronger, if for no other reason than Ford is up to the task an... Read the full review »

Last Crusade is a fine return to form for director Steven Spielberg and his popular hero. After what I consider to be a misguided tangent in Temple of Doom, (although I'm learning that many of my readers disagree) Spielberg and Lucas returned to w... Read the full review »

This is a frustrating film. Spielberg has left me baffled by poor second efforts before--The Lost World, mainly--and I still can't figure out where his mind goes when conceiving a follow-up. Temple of Doom is so far removed from what made Raiders... Read the full review »

One of the great adventure blockbusters of the 20th century, Raiders combines the kinetic fun of Star Wars with the exotic, globetrotting appeal of James Bond. Harrison Ford's humor and physicality made him a legendary cinema hero (again), and hi... Read the full review »

Full disclosure, I'm mostly unfamiliar with this franchise. It's been years since I've seen any of these films, and if information from a previous installment is required to enjoy Jigsaw then I went unprepared. I won't be able to compare it to oth... Read the full review »

On behalf of trash film fans everywhere I'd like to thank Elizabeth Berkley for providing one of cinema's truly awful performances. Her portrayal of naive, temperamental Las Vegas dancer Nomi Malone is a failure for the ages; an inept, one note di... Read the full review »

Edgar Wright has made something special here: a film that perfectly balances comedy, romance, and action, while boasting a masterful soundtrack as impactful to the film as any of its principle actors. With the exception of my childhood discovery o... Read the full review »

It's no secret that The Phantom Menace has some problems. This prequel trilogy was conceived, not as a satisfying final puzzle piece for decades-long Star Wars fans, but as a kid-friendly moneymaker intended to replenish George Lucas's post-divorc... Read the full review »

If you’ve seen The Phantom Menace, then you already know what to expect from every film in this trilogy: stilted performances, overly-complex plotting, and far too many computer generated characters and environments. I can accept that this is Lu... Read the full review »

Revenge of the Sith reinvigorated my interest in Star Wars in 2005, and each subsequent viewing has produced a similarly rousing affect: at closing credits my skin is blanketed with goosebumps, and warm, cathartic waves of relief and gratification... Read the full review »

Rogue One offers a few things I had always been keen to see in a Star Wars film: images of the galaxy under Imperial rule, and a more substantial bridge between the first two trilogies. This film also took several viewings for me to warm up to bec... Read the full review »

There are a number of observations to be made about Murder on the Orient Express, but one stands above all the others: Kenneth Branagh loves him some Kenneth Branagh. So much so that his impressive co-stars become totally irrelevant behind the ons... Read the full review »

Sifting through my feelings about Thor: Ragnarok is proving to be an unexpected challenge. Walking out of the theatre tonight I was feeling mostly positive. The film is as funny and lively as Iron Man with the scope and visual effects bombast of T... Read the full review »

Despite a disappointing opening weekend take (less than $100M domestic. Ouch), and an unenthusiastic critical response, Justice League is hardly the abject failure some would have you believe. A share of this chilly reaction is deserved; the film... Read the full review »

Rian Johnson's voice and style are well-suited for telling Star Wars stories, but if he wasn't interested in continuing the one JJ Abrams began then he should have been given a different project from the very beginning.
I'm repelled by the tonal... Read the full review »
