Blind Fury (1990)
Stranger danger! Just because Rutger Hauer says he's blind doesn't mean you should let him put his paws all over your annoying kid's face.

Venom (2018)
Jenny Slate, kudos to you for getting one of those superhero movie paychecks. If only this film were worthy of your talent...

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
Director Josie Rourke makes an impressive screen debut, crafting not only a beautiful period piece, but also an important and timely story.

Widows (2018)
Widows has McQueen's depth, all the while bringing Flynn's pulpiness.

Aquaman (2018)
Ultimately, like much of the DCEU, Aquaman just can't make things work. While there's a definite sense of humor behind the film, it doesn't take things far enough.

Superman 40th Anniversary (2018)
Christopher Reeve IS Superman, but although he makes the other guys who've donned the suit look like chumps in the original, the movie overall is no Superman II, which is rad.

Green Book (2018)
Green Book (fancies) itself a progressive .... awards season film, but there are moments in the narrative which are unbelievably tone deaf and in truth, almost regressive.

Leprechaun's Christmas Gold (1981)
If you're a fan of Irish folklore, it's a must-see special.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)
This is a powerful and well-crafted story which definitely deserves to be told, and.... the movie should continue to be a presence deep into awards season.

Don't Go (2018)
Gleeson's creation of the environment's tone through the visual, Don't Go builds a fascinating narrative which keeps you on edge right up until the final credits roll.

Mid90s (2018)
In fact, the film is in celebration of a toxic masculinity that the contemporary #MeToo movement is currently taking a stand against.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
I give this a "Fresh" rating because it owns its place in history and is not nearly as bad as many of the action movies I've watched & discussed online.

First Man (2018)
Damien Chazelle has done it again with First Man. The period piece is a bit of a challenge, but this is bound to be one of the top movies of 2018.

A Star Is Born (2018)
While Lady Gaga shines, the problematic narrative makes it clear that it is the unlikable Jackson Maine with whom audiences are supposed to identify.

The Sisters Brothers (2018)
The western is noticeably hampered by structural and tonal issues ... Solid performances by likable actors can't save this indie western being weighed by its script.

Night School (2018)
Ultimately, fans of the comedian will get a kick out of this ... but it's frustrating to see this become a largely generic comedy when there's more interesting material here.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
This movie is definitely a "Part 1," so final review is reserved for when Part 2 is over, BUT- so much good stuff! (Except the romance. Stop forcing it in, MCU.)

Mandy (2018)
Ultimately, the lack of a coherent script hampers the movie in a number of ways, largely overshadowing some very interesting direction ... leave this one to stream.

Black Panther (2018)
A big win for representation on screen & behind the scenes, my only criticism is that I like the women better than the lead. Fingers crossed for girl power in the sequel.

The Disaster Artist (2017)
The Disaster Artist is a love letter to The Room. The painstaking recreations of certain shots are fascinating to watch. Be sure to stay through the credits.

A Simple Favor (2018)
In a series of features which ... regulate(s) women to the good girl/femme fatale dichotomy, A Simple Favor lets the ladies step out from the ... archetypes weighing them down.

Only the Brave (2017)
Only the Brave is a powerful and emotional film (coming) out of a good place ... as a tribute to the firefighters lost ... but (those) still risking their lives everyday.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Wonderstruck (2017)
Coming from a filmmaker capable of wowing with his visual flair, Wonderstruck fails to illicit much wonder .... This one could have been a heck of a lot better.

Murder On The Orient Express (2017)
The film struggles visually and narratively in places. As such, this version of the classic story doesn't present anything new or unique... does this story need to be retold?

Justice League (2017)
This movie is not ready for prime time, and DC should be ashamed of themselves for letting their wind from Wonder Woman completely escape.

Darkest Hour (2017)
In (Oldman's) hands, Churchill is realistic. He's insecure. He's uncertain of himself ... in relation to the situation he finds himself caught up in. This take is unique

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Perhaps Blade Runner 2049's biggest flaw is style over substance. Check it out for the beautiful look, but be careful diving below the surface.
