Film Review: The Good Dinosaur

The Good Dinosaur is fine, but fine feels like a huge disappointment when it is a product of Pixar.

Film Review: The Lobster

The Lobster’s first half might be a perfect movie, and while the second half doesn’t quite stack up, it’s still one of the best alternative reality films I have ever seen.

Film Review: Creed

Creed is what re-imagining a franchise should look like, something that homages its past in the past way possible while delivering a story that is wholly its own.

Film Review: Spotlight

Spotlight is a very good journalistic drama, starring an excellent ensemble, that won’t let you go from start to finish.

Film Review: Carol

Carol is a beautiful little love story that feels a bit too one-sided. Still, it has impeccable direction and exquisite acting at every turn; first and foremost from Rooney Mara.

Film Review: Bridge of Spies

Bridge of Spies is what you expect from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, an entertaining and grounded take on the material, that excels at almost all times.

Film Review: Room

Room is always on the verge of being something great, but a wrong headed decision at the 2/3 mark almost sank the movie entirely.

Film Review: Truth

Truth is a corny retelling of the Rather/Bush National Guard fallout that can’t decide if it just wants to present us facts or actually comment on the downfall of journalism.

Film Review: Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is frontlined by a blazing script from Aaron Sorkin and another great turn from Michael Fassbender, while Danny Boyle keeps the three settings of the film feeling fresh.

Film Review: Crimson Peak

Guillermo del Toro bounces back from the let down of Pacific Rim (a movie I like) with Crimson Peak, a “gothic romance with ghosts” that delivers exactly on that promise.
