There are biopics, and then there’s propoganda.

'You, Me & Tuscany' Can't Melt The Heart
Any depth or backstory into either of the leading characters takes a backseat for a middle act that’s simply filler.
'Project Hail Mary' is Almost a Touchdown
This film is an absolute crowd-pleaser with incredible moments of visual splendor. There are instances when the picture brought a slight lump to my throat and a dazzle to my pupils. However
'Good Fortune's' Charm Ascends its Comedy
During a time of great division, Good Fortune thrives for unity.
'Caught Stealing' Will Catch Your Attention
Aronofsky's keen eye, handling of structure, and Austin Butler's awesome lead performance make what could have been a forgettable thriller memorable.
'She Rides Shotgun' is a Rough Ride
Whatever nuance the film has is thrown out the window in a big climax that has the production value of a low-budget film.
'Mickey 17' Breathes Some Life
Nobody does zany quite like Bong Joon Ho. Mickey 17 is no exception.
'Back to Black' Plays a Recognizable Beat
The filmmakers come to this film with good intentions. It's just we've all seen the story about the artist who gets tied up in booze and drugs before. It's nothing different from a standard biopic
'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Suffers from The Same Old Ideas
Redundant and unnecessary The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a greatest hits of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes tracks.
'The Fall Guy' Is A Lovely Blockbuster About Making Blockbusters
The film doesn't dwell on the juicier parts of the plot. Instead, it's a compelling love story brought to life with flying colors.
Io Capitano is an Engrossing Character Driven Thriller with a Biting Social Commentary
It's a film where you don't want it to end. But it does so abruptly. It leaves much open for interpretation and will have you discussing what happens after the ending with your friends.
'The Underdoggs' Can't Deliver a Trophy
Saying f***k isn't enough to go on making a hilarious film. Let alone a commercial for its star that doesn't carry the heart of a narrative champion.
'The Beekeeper' Does Little To Standout Among The Hive
The Beekeeper is filled with enough blood, broken glass, and explosions to make an action buff giddy. If only it had more insight into its protagonist instead of being intentionally vague, could the movie be more memorable than forgettable.
'Five Nights at Freddy's' Is Light On Scares
Five Nights At Freddy's is a run-of-the-mill horror film without much gas to go on but still enough to make for an entertaining ride.
'Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny' is Missing Steven Spielberg's Touch
If there's a moral to this review, it's to not listen to George Lucas and leave a character's legacy in a museum.
'The Blackening Doesn't Last Beyond Its Premise's Novelty
A humourous but familiar comedy that isn't as clever as it lets out to be.
'The Flash' Runs Toward Mediocrity
Perfectly entertaining yet mediocre. The Flash is an enjoyable movie that relies on cameos over nuanced emotions.
'The Boogeyman' Offers Dynamic Characters Over Dead Bodies
The Boogeyman is a perfectly competent horror film that offers the usual generic jump scares with a flash of psychological terror.
'The Little Mermaid' Doesn't Sink
The Little Mermaid rises to the surface with enough talent in front of the camera to prove why its music is timeless.
'Past Lives' Is A Beautiful Rendition of Time and Longing
Past Lives is a loving, sensible portrayal of lost love, time, and how we move on with our lives
