Captain Underpants: The First Epic Adventure (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 2nd, 2017 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

Stoller and Soren do a fine job making this adventure in growing up entertaining for kid and adult alike, and while I can’t foresee Captain Underpants: The First Epic Adventure spawning any additional cinematic chapters in George and Harold’s heroic tale, if it sends viewers to the library and the bookstore to discover what happens next that’s perfectly fine by me.

Wonder Woman (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 1st, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Wonder Woman is grandly entertaining, offering up a hero whose heart and sincerity reveal a palpable sense of decency and self-sacrifice our modern world could use to learn a little from.

Black Butterfly (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 26th, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Goodman continues to impress from a directorial standpoint, Black Butterfly a strong, if still somewhat vexing, thriller I’m glad I took the time to watch.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

I won’t hold it against anyone who is entertained by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales…But even with a not-so-subtle passing of the torch hinting at potential future sequels or spinoffs, here’s hoping this really is the last cruise of the Black Pearl, those pirates at Disney getting away with stealing way too many box office dollars by delivering one underwhelming voyage after another for far too long.

Baywatch (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 25th, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Baywatch treads water for two-thirds of its unwieldy 116 minutes, maybe even more than that, the comedy drowning in its own mediocrity and as such is undeserving of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 19th, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul comes agonizingly close to being unwatchable, this fourth entry in the series having virtually nothing of value to offer to any viewer of any age whatsoever.

Everything, Everything (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 19th, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Fact Everything, Everything is so very good before it becomes so very bad might just make the film more dissatisfying, so much wasted potential turning my own cinematic immune system into a lethally cancerous nightmare of bitter frustration and dejected disappointment.

The Survivalist (2015)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 19th, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Bleak, uncompromising and overflowing in dirty, lived-in tension, The Survivalist is a grand little opus that kept me mesmerized start to finish, its final moments a haunting bit of personalized hopeful madness where tragedy, heroism, regret and resilience coalesce into a single entity.

Alien: Covenant (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 17th, 2017 - Movie Reviews

Even if some of the horror beats are all too familiar, that doesn’t make the overarching narrative any less fascinating, Alien: Covenant continuing to prove that big things can indeed be born of small beginnings, and I for one am decidedly curious to discover where this story is going to go next.
