Backcountry devours terror, chews it up and spits it back out at the audience as if it were a gourmet meal, all of which makes it a dinner I can’t wait to partake from again.
Kill Me Three Times is dead on arrival, and unfortunately it didn’t take 90 minutes of my life to figure that out.
While We’re Young might not showcase the director at his best, but that doesn’t make it any less worthwhile, the final destination a worthwhile venture even if some of the stops along the way aren’t worth visiting.
Furious 7 in almost all the ways that matter is every bit as entertaining as the three features that have preceded it.
As terrific as the performances from both Mirren and Reynolds are, I just can’t embrace Woman in Gold as fully as I’d honestly like to. Certainly not without its merits, the movie isn’t near as fulfilling or as captivating.
Whether undone by a script that’s too clever for its own good, direction that seems intent on smothering the proceedings in unnecessary bits of visual incoherence or a budget that’s just not up to the job of allowing things to be presented as they possibly could have been, [Ejecta] falls apart right from the start, making heads or tails out of any portion of it impossible.
Get Hard is an infuriating slog I’m more upset and repulsed by than I am anything else.
A Girl Like Her is arguably one of the more vibrant, electric and dynamically alive motion pictures I’ll see this year. It’s also one of the most important.
Little kids are undoubtedly going to enjoy it, and, for my part at least, I can’t imagine parents are going to even moderately despise the 90 minutes required to watch it sitting there next to them. But it isn’t like this is a movie anyone is going to be talking about afterwards, and it’s not like there aren’t better options – Cinderella and Paddington both come to mind – still playing at the local multiplex. Still, Home (2015) is hardly a disaster, and while it didn’t steal my heart, it certainly kept it warm enough that I was hardly displeased walking out of the theater after it had come to an end.
