Movie Reviews

“Last Ride” is Lee’s first directorial effort in sixteen years. His storytelling rust shows.

“How to Make a Killing” makes a half-hearted effort to surprise and maybe disturb us with some late developments, but by that point we’ve been numbed by the film committing the unforgivable crime of being dull.

It proves to be such an overly ponderous exercise that, by the time it finally comes to an end, you may feel so sapped of energy that find yourself struggling to get up out of your seat.

The film’s sci-fi tone holds best, not when the McManus brothers try to explain the technological components, but when these characters’ find solace in their shared trauma.

The characters’ relationship to faith is presented with sincerity but not depth.

Neither Turner nor Harrington can hold their own against the story's emotional weight.

A zombie scenario that doesn’t have much use for its zombies.

The worst thing about “Scare Out” isn’t that it’s boring and ultimately trite, but that there’s so little of Zhang’s usual sensuousness in it.

What if “9 ½ Weeks” for Gen-Z, but make it fit for the ID Channel?

A boisterous, but unhurried action-adventure that never feels sloppy.
