Irresistible | Jon Stewart Returns to Political Satire
Irresistible might not live up to people’s expectations, but it’s still a clever and interesting movie in its own right.
The Only Christmas-Related Movie List You’ll Ever Need! (Now, with EXTRA Hyperbole!)
It’s that time of year again! It’s the time when every website, entertainment show, and magazine gives you its “Top [insert number here] Christmas Movies of All Time” list.
Extra Ordinary | The Title Says it All
Extra Ordinary lives up to its title, proving to be yet another marvelous addition to the horror/comedy genre.
Never Rarely Sometimes Always | A Haunting and Intimate Piece of Artistic Realism
Never Rarely Sometimes Always breaks the rules of conventional storytelling in order to give the delicate subject matter the intimate focus it deserves. The result is a fascinating piece of realism.
Sonic the Hedgehog | This Is Happenin’
Sonic the Hedgehog is a fun movie with lively characters, well-timed humor, and fast-paced action. Thank you Paramount and Sega for making this all possible.
The Banker Review | A Classy Look at Racial Inequalities
The Banker comes at you in a variety of ways, but the film eases the audience into some difficult racial conversations with levity and wit.
Underwater | Tension Holds Water Despite Its Flaws
Underwater has a fair share of plot holes, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment. Kristen Stewart did a good job, as did Vincent Cassel and T.J. Miller.
Swallow | A Mature Take on Mental Illness That Should Have Been Better
Swallow succeeds in presenting a mature depiction of the subject matter, but fails to fully capitalize on it by cutting corners elsewhere.
First Cow | A Quirky and Thoughtful Capitalist Fable
First Cow is beautiful period drama with elegant symbolism and quietly good acting that is bogged down by awkward plot development and inexplicable pacing. A must-see for fans of Parasite, but less appealing to general audiences.
The Hunt | Right Wing v. Left Wing Battle Royale
Despite the controversial premise, The Hunt is far sillier than it is offensive. While too often messy and nonsensical, a satisfying conclusion gives this political satire the leg up it needs to qualify as stupid fun.
