Review: Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively Return for Another Simple Favor, Sequel with More Characters, Less Sharpness than the First

Although it didn’t take quite as long as it did The Accountant to get to its recent sequel (nine years), Another Simple Favor takes place in the aftermath of 2018’s […]

    Review: Guy Ritchie Turns a Real-Life WWII Mission Into a Mediocre Actioner in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

    Based on true events (loosely, I’m guessing) that came to light when files of the British War Department were recently declassified, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare tells the story of […]

    Review: A Mish-Mash of Styles and Absence of Vision Make Persuasion a Lackluster Austen Adaptation

    In the world of Jane Austen adaptations, there’s always room for creativity. From Hulu’s recent Fire Island, reimagining Pride & Prejudice on the gay party island, to my personal favorite, […]

    Review: Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Is Best as a Martial Arts Actioner that Resists Franchise Tropes

    Snake Eyes

    Turns out, remembering next to nothing about the previous G.I. Joe movies (The Rise of Cobra and Retaliation) before walking into Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, something of a spin-off/prequel […]

    Review: Henry Golding Delivers a Warm, Nuanced Performance in Nostalgic, Tender Monsoon

    Monsoon

    It’s easy to forget that Henry Golding’s chiseled movie star looks and magnetic on-screen charisma have only been known to us for a few years; his breakout role, as the […]

    Review: Political Incorrectness Aside, The Gentlemen is a Return to Form for Ritchie

    The Gentlemen

    I fully admit to being a big fan of director Guy Ritchie’s first two gangster comedies—Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch—primarily because they introduced the world to the […]

    Review: Last Christmas Wraps a Predictable Romcom Up in Festive Ribbons and Bows

    Last Christmas

    I don’t expect much out of my holiday movies. A bit of cheer, a bit of romance, maybe a nice little cry (happy tears!) just before the credits roll. In […]

    Review: A Simple Favor, Deceptively Titled, Dark and Thrilling

    Although director Paul Feig’s go-to milieu is female-driven comedies (Bridesmaids, The Heat, the recent remake of Ghostbusters), there is something thrillingly bold, dark and eventually thrilling about his latest work, […]

    Review: Important, if Imperfect, Crazy Rich Asians Is Fun yet Flat

    Crazy Rich Asians
