White Men Can’t Jump – Film Review
White Men Can’t Jump is a severely disappointing and lifeless film. Jack Harlow’s embarrassingly awful and uncharismatic performance, coupled with flat and dull cinematography, fails to recapture the magic of the original.
Air – Film Review
Air is a poignant and uplifting sports drama that shines a light on the complexities of the professional basketball world. Matt Damon’s standout performance as Sonny Vaccaro anchors the film, showcasing his talent and range as an actor.
Paint – Film Review
Paint may be an ambitious film, but its inconsistent pacing and meandering narrative prevent it from fully realizing its potential.
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret – Film Review
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret proves Kelly Fremon Craig isn’t a one-trick pony. It’s a beautifully uplifting, inspiring, emotionally charged, hilarious, and wholesome injection of pure comfort in cinematic form.
A Good Person – Film Review
An emotionally layered script, brilliant direction, and career-best performances from Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman make A Good Person one of the best movies of the year.
Inside – Film Review
Willem Dafoe is terrific in Inside; a genuinely claustrophobic psychological thriller that sadly suffers from a weak story and not enough of an emotional punch.
Tetris – Film Review
Despite running a bit too long, Tetris is a remarkably gripping historical thriller written excellently by Noah Pink and featuring a multi-layered lead performance from Taron Egerton.
Boston Strangler – Film Review
Although it’s certainly nothing completely innovative, Boston Strangler is an intriguing historical drama film written and directed impressively well by Matt Ruskin and featuring a terrific lead performance from Keira Knightley.
Creed III – Film Review
With a tightly-written script, bold direction from Michael B. Jordan, excellent character development, and intense fights, Creed III is a total knockout.
Creed II – Film Review
Although Creed II doesn’t manage to pack as hard of a punch as the first, it’s still a relentlessly entertaining sports drama with tons of thrills.
