Eye in the Sky (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 4th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

Eye in the Sky is still an incredibly effective thriller that gets the blood boiling while also challenging the intellect. It does not skimp on thrills, things building to their conclusion with a swiftly building ferociousness that’s impressive.

Midnight Special (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 1st, 2016 - Movie Reviews

Midnight Special isn’t as clean, isn’t as tidy as the director’s previous three features, but that doesn’t make it any less tremendous, Nichols proving once again he’s one of the more creative, imaginative and flat-out talented cinematic voices working today.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 25th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 isn’t a bad sequel, it’s just a pointless one, and as such spending any additional time dissecting it further can’t help but feel like an exercise in meaningless, if still harmless, futility.

They’re Watching (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 25th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

There’s not a lot new to any of this, and the surprising twists and turns that transpire during the final act are hardly shocking. But there is a level of quality to They’re Watching that’s a little unexpected, while all of the actors do a fairly terrific job of exploring their respective characters, at least in so much as much as the genre and storytelling dynamics allow them to.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 23rd, 2016 - Movie Reviews

Snyder’s Batman v Superman is loud, obnoxious, lacking in substance and barely lucid enough to make even the slightest modicum of sense. While not the worst superhero comic book adventure ever to grace the multiplex, it’s likely the most frustratingly disappointing, it’s failure unquestionably putting Warner and DC’s future plans in jeopardy.

The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 18th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

While I’ve never hated any of these Divergent efforts, this latest one certainly tried my patience to an exasperating degree, Allegiant a tedious exercise in futility even fans of the series will have a hard time finding anything worthwhile to talk about once it comes to an end.

Hello, My Name Is Doris (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 18th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

In the end, though, it is Field and Field alone who makes Hello, My Name Is Doris what it is, my affinity for the motion picture growing in leaps and bounds the more I think about her almost effortless brilliance which brings both the character, and the movie itself, to vivacious life.

Road Games (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 17th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

[Road Games] is well structured, gorgeously shot and confidently directed, and as feature-length narrative debuts go Pastoll’s is a strong one that has me blissfully excited to see what he’s got in store for us all in the very near future.

Miracles from Heaven (2016)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - March 16th, 2016 - Movie Reviews

For a movie that was playing to everyone, to all audiences, to all viewers no matter what their background or faith, to have it suddenly blatantly preach to the converted and to the converted alone is a missed opportunity of massive proportions, making watching Miracles from Heaven at all a serious waste of time.
