Ben is Back (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 21st, 2018 - Movie ReviewsI liked Ben is Back a lot, and if not for a lumpy third act it’s possible I’d have considered this to be one of 2018’s best motion pictures.

Bumblebee (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 21st, 2018 - Movie ReviewsBumblebeen is the kind of picture I would have been head over heels about as a wide-eyed youngster, and as a somewhat cynical adult this is just the type of movie that breaks through that pessimism and reminds me why I love what it is I do with such unadulterated dedication. There’s way more than meets the eye going on here, and I for one I’m blissfully happy about that.

Welcome to Marwen (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 21st, 2018 - Movie ReviewsWelcome to Marwen is a revolting calamity, and my hope is that audiences choose to avoid this film like the plague.

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 19th, 2018 - Movie ReviewsMary Poppins Returns is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and that’s the biggest word I’ve ever heard that also precisely fits what I thought about this sequel. It’s practically perfect in every way.

The Mule (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 16th, 2018 - Movie ReviewsWhile a second-tier effort from the Oscar-winning veteran that still makes The Mule better than a lot of other filmmakers’ first tier selections, and for fans of the director this could be a solid matinee option worth hitting the road in order to see.

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 14th, 2018 - Movie ReviewsWhile I have more than my fair share of reservations, on the basis of Ronan and Robbie alone I still think Rourke’s debut is worth a look, and even if Mary Queen of Scots isn’t quite the royal entertainment I was hoping for as matinee fodder is concerned interested viewers could certainly do a heck of a lot worse.

Mortal Engines (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 14th, 2018 - Movie ReviewsThere’s so much to love, so much that held me spellbound, the fact I’m sitting here annoyed that Mortal Engines never works nearly as well as it by all accounts early on looks as if it is going to has me lingering in a state perilously close to anger.

The Quake (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 14th, 2018 - Movie ReviewsThe Quake might not shake, rattle and roll to the same extent its superb forerunner did but that doesn’t mean it also isn’t worthwhile, this bone-chilling sequel an effectively entertaining follow-up I hope fans of the first film take the time to see.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 14th, 2018 - Movie ReviewsThere is something new about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse that can be traced squarely to the injection of this fresh blood into the proceedings. Miles is a hero anyone and everyone can relate to, making his animated debut a family-friendly present worth heading to the closest theatre to unwrap at any point throughout this holiday season.
