This disc, like most recent releases, leaves much to be desired.
'Superman' is Super-Meh
Charming, fun, humorous, all the elements for Superman are here, yet something is missing, making Superman float instead of soar.
'F1: The Movie'-Formulaic 1
You can argue a film like this isn't about the story. That's not a good excuse.
'28 Years Later' Is Insanely Good
They pulled it off! Director Danny Boyle and Screenwriter Alex Garland reunite to make a sequel to 28 Days/Weeks Later that's disturbing, visceral, and surprisingly heartfelt.
'Elio' Doesn't Abduct Anything Original But Still Works
For the last few Pixar outings, this is one of the better ones, but by a slim margin. It's not forgettable like Luca or Elemental, but it's also not as good as Inside Out 2. It's more of a middle child who won't likely be remembered.
'Echo Valley's' Script Barely Floats Above Shallow Water
Halfway through, the script becomes a page-turner, making the viewer curious to see how our characters will wiggle their way out of a bad situation. If they do, that is.
'Materialists' Reflects a Mirror on Societal Values
Celine Song proves not to be just a flash in the pan Director. Instead, she's proving to be one of the best voices in cinema when it comes to love.
'How to Train Your Dragon' Soars Over a Mild Competition
Despite the accolades, there's no ignoring the lack of creativity brought to the script. Making the same story isn't the most impressive thing in the world to do.
'Arcades & Love Songs: The Ballad of Walter Day' Depresses More Than it Inspires
The point of the movie is to emphasize the power of community. Walter might be poor, but the lives he's touched are of more value than living the American dream. That's a sweet sentiment, but it doesn't quite resonate with me.
'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' Action Tops Its Bland Plot
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina continues the tradition of a forgettable story that offers plenty of amazing action.
'The Phoenician Scheme'-Wes Anderson Finally Makes a Good One Again
For a Wes Anderson film, this movie is mediocre. As a general comedy, it's a laugh riot that towers above others in its genre. It's not just style over substance. Unfortunately, some of that substance is wrapped in a plot that has too much scheming, even for its title.
'The Life of Chuck' is a Unique Look into Death Until It Isn't
There is a profound existentialism to be found in half of the picture, while the other half beats the same point of meaning over the audience's head like a hammer.
'Karate Kid: Legends' is Legendarily Forgettable
Karate Kid: Legends is a lazy, rushed mess that fails to capture the magic the original Karate Kid contained, not to mention Netflix's Cobra Kai.
'Bring Her Back' Shocks to Mixed Effects.
After Talk to Me and this movie, I'd like to see if the Philippous have something other than a shock fest up their sleeves for the next film. Or are they just a one-trick pony? So far, they've proved me wrong. But not completely.
'Jane Austen Wrecked My Life' is an Enjoyable Dive into Literature's Reader Influence
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is a movie not only about the love of literature but how our perceptions of such books can complicate our lives.
'Lilo & Stitch' is a Dull Success
As a simple, fun movie for children, Lilo & Stitch fits the bill. For adults, it's not worth rewatching.
'Final Destination Bloodlines' is Delightfully Sick
Stefeni says in the movie, "You don't f**k with Death's plans." Or something like that. She's not lying. Nobody is safe in this movie.
Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning is Familiar Classic Hollywood Fun
Once the adrenaline has worn off, you might begin to notice just how overly similar MI8 is to all the other films.
'Friendship' is the Funniest Tragedy of the Year
The film works so well because it leaves us (or maybe just me) feeling conflicted about Craig.
'Sorry, Baby's' Excellence Has Nothing to be Sorry About
Sorry, Baby, is a beautiful representation of the power of human connection
