Mr. Murphy chews the scenery every chance he gets and it recalls what made him such a star in the first place.
1
This effective indie dramedy unravels a bit in the end as it eagerly attempts to wrap up each and every one of its conflicts, but before then it's a rowdy, touching, keenly observed slice of life.
1
Disney's Chip 'n Dale deftly balances its status as a legitimate sequel, a self-referential meta commentary on reboots, and a cynical cash-grab. It's delightful and fun.
1
Its striking and dreamlike landscapes contrast with the harrowing story of teenagers fighting to survive in a hopeless and violent world. [Full Review in Spanish]
1
Effectively shows how good intentions without forcefulbackup can lead to impotence and disaster within aforeign culture.
1
Catching Fire delivers on the grim, roiling promises of the original.
1
The big question hanging over the much-anticipated film version of novelist Tom Clancy's best-seller The Hunt for Red October is how, in the current world climate,this cold war thriller will stand up to the warm glow of glasnost. The answer is: just fine.
1
The film offers a strange but undeniably vivid blend of brutality and sentimentality.
1
The Hunt will have you balling up a fist and shedding a few tears as the tale unfolds, providing an exquisitely unpleasant conflict that's simply riveting to study.
1
See Saura finally being one of his characters. [Full Review in Spanish]
1
[Conveys] a palpable mood of claustrophobia, which gives the desire of the characters to escape abroad a convincing emotional resonance
1
It's not perfect, but it's the rare big budget offering that gives us a respite from reboots, remakes, prequels, sequels and franchises.
1
Camp and Slate have the experience of viral frame and the distance from that experience to offer perspectives like, “It’s an audience, it’s not a community.”
1
Director Arne Mattsson has put together a film both gloomy and exciting. But it is a narrow line between the bizarre and the ludicrous, between the artistic and the sensational. Mattsson slips now and then.
1
Cool effects, particularly for the time -- story could have used more logic, though.
1
Enjoyable enough, but its major distinction is more its too calculated oddness than anything else.
1
[Sirk's] unreal exaggerations offer a beautiful world of beautiful people and tortured emotions and grand sacrifice to the altar of love.
1
Damien Chazelle stuffs a limited series worth of material into a wildly uneven yet undeniably entertaining 188 minutes detailing the depravity, ingenuity, talent and sheer luck that defined the early days of a surprisingly diverse Hollywood.
1
Maybe all superhero movies should all in Lego. After all, in this universe, Billy Dee Williams still plays Harvey Dent.
1
Considering how far he's come as a storyteller, technician, and champion of movie history, it would be a shame if, as Tarantino claims, he only has one more film left.
1
For all their global dominance, everybody wants these superhero movies to be better: funnier, smarter, more inclusive, more super. A huge step in the right direction, Black Panther is that dream come true.
1
It has a lot of good ideas, but has difficulty weaving them into a coherent story.
0
Director Darren Aronofsky builds an incredible atmosphere for an over-the-top story that doesn't deserve it.
0
In the end, the film wraps up awfully neatly considering how sloppy and unraveled the characters' lives had been at the height of their conflicts.
0
All the potential edges have been sanded off. And so, a quite remarkable true story, no matter how truthfully told, feels like a formulaic fable.
1
A deft, ambitious exercise in old-school socialist agitprop crafted with the precise multimedia flair of a corporate PowerPoint presentation.
1
Ajami brings its audience into a world where the cultural conflict is fierce, emotions run high, yet the hopeful vision of peaceful coexistence shines through the cracks.
1
...a tender trio of Tokyo love stories that play like a cross between Raymond Carver and O. Henry.
1
It's not just about some woefully misguided fast-food employees: it's about the scared, intimidated and unquestioning follower in all of us.
1
Reynolds should consider Chain Link a successful first effort and call it a victory.
1
Tough love triumphs over adversity in this inspirational, feel-good film.
1
Got Wood? Christensen's stiff acting almost sink this digital ship. The last hour is absolutely brilliant.
1
The most out of its depth movie you will see all year, Dear Evan Hansen proves that some adaptations of musicals should remain where they began: on the stage and as far away from the screen as possible.
0
Sentimental stuff but when an ailing Redgrave sings True Colours it really does bring a lump to your throat.
1
The ghosts of murdered villagers that haunt a young girl brutally forced into slavery as a child soldier in Rebelle mirror the film's dramatic effect on an audience.
1
This self-deprecating comedy would make both Larry David and Louis C.K. proud,
1
Malcolm & Marie spouts forceful diatribes without ever saying anything truthful.
0
The honesty and integrity that have always distinguished Harris' acting are reflected in every element of this extraordinary film.
1
"Night Moves" is an unexpected pleasure, offering more than what we expect and taking its time to deliver.
1
This is the new American landscape, where George Romero meets Henry Thoreau.
1
Park Chan-wook places all the pieces on this impressive table before sitting us down for a sumptuous meal that proves himself once more to be a fascinating director who can blend all of these ingredients together and make it all look effortless.
1
More of same slap-shtick w/familiar cast of goofballs.
0
American Gangster is an interesting movie, but it never reaches the moment when it rises above the cop vs. crook genre to instant classic status.
1
At least Boog's infatuation with using toilets means that Open Season is an ideal film for small tykes still undergoing potty training.
0
Noisy, indecipherable nonsense and floppy, dismally uninteresting character drama.
0
A far more upbeat film from usually gritty director Ken Loach, which uses soccer star Eric Cantona in effectively comedic ways.
1
A jubilant and delightful trifle that - much like many of his other 44 films - ponders the rhyme and reason of our existence, however futile or fruitful that may be.
1
Kore-eda’s empathy manifests in a technical awareness of space and architecture that tricks you into thinking it’s emotionally removed but soon reveals itself to be his own kind of approach to empathy. "Broker" is clear-eyed but packs an emotional wallop.
1
Larson, in particular, does wonders with a character who in other hands could easily have come across as overly earnest, even saccharine... It's a superb performance that deserved a more credible, less jerry-rigged context.
1
A collection of random shorts that focus mainly on idiotic male behaviour, this portmanteau comedy is only occasionally amusing, never making anything of its astonishing cast.
0
You have to admire all the effort that has gone into trying to make this movie the all-time-super-Simpsons episode, straining the talents of no less than 11 of the series' most frequent writers to sum up the show up in a single ambitious story.
1
This look inside gay porn... is tepid at best, and the endless series of meetings and to-the-camera sniping between Glenn and his manager/songwriter is torturously dull.
0
One of the many excellent family films from director and writer John Hughes...
1
The movie itself seems stoned... The Coens have always had a weakness for making us laugh at everything in the name of nothing. When you try to pin down what The Big Lebowski is actually saying, you're told that you're actually missing the point.
0
The movie was just bad, even the music was terrible...
0
Too often, the director's stark visuals underline the naked simplicity of his story and make his picture of the suburbs seem hopelessly generic.
0
Not since Death to Smoochy has a comedy underachieved so pathetically.
0
Cyrano is a special cinematic event!
1
A gloomy, self-serious picture.
0
Love at First Kiss is an example of how a bad script can ruin a movie, despite a good cast and a good director. [Full review in Spanish]
0
True to its title, it traps audiences in a series of relentlessly nasty situations that we would pay a considerable ransom not to be looking at.
0
The theme of Skyfall is that the world must remain safe for white Englishmen to run around shooting people who aren't white and English.
0
Important as it is essential, the movie is a remarkable achievement deserving of every honor and ounce of acclaim it has so far achieved, watching it a catastrophically profound experience I'm not soon to forget.
1
Although not quite as good as V/H/S/2, which remains the best of the franchise, it certainly beats the dreadful "Viral" like a gong and genre fans should find it to be more consistently entertaining than most films of this type.
1
This cute and often surprising comedy is a brazen bid to clone Meet The Parents and it succeeds beyond this reviewer's worst fears.
1
If anything, see it for Karen Black, who camps up a storm as a fringe feminist conspiracy theorist named Dirty Dick.
0
Entourage is just a Hell of a good time, and makes you feel like you're hanging out with the guys.
1
It's an interesting film, even if it's never clear what Erdem is getting at.
0
An allegedly wild and wacky but ultimately disappointing and disjointed chapter in the ongoing story of the God of Thunder, who seems to get more clueless with each passing movie.
0
One of the most unsettling films of the year, and its based on the filmmaker's observations and experiences in the city's slums. A seismic expression of life for some of the world's children.
1
In putting young girls in close proximity to demons, the storyline unwisely invites comparison to William Friedkin's The Exorcist.
0
What Just Happened is like a middle-aged Entourage in desperate need of Viagra.
0
Solid, well-cast and unembarrassing. But they left a better racing drama in the garage with this one.
0
The 'Burt Wonderstone' script is credited to Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who took on the arduous task of going through the 'Talledega Nights' script, crossing out all references to NASCAR and replacing them with references to magic.
0
This documentary is a really necessary rewind... to remind everybody how Martin Luther King Jr. was seen in his day, at his time.
1
While Spencer is not a great film, it does give Stewart the opportunity to carry the story of a major historical figure-- and she does it (pun intended) royally.
1
By keeping the audience off-balance for most of the movie, Riders of Justice leaves viewers with more than just cheap, forgettable thrills.
1
Every jolt in this film involves crash editing and deafening noises, while nothing is made of the premise or the characters.
0
A 3D animated princess tale saluting sisterly love and female empowerment.
1
a far cry better than Planes, dumping the multicultural crudeness of the original to offer a simplistic but age-appropriate take on duty and heroism.
1
But when we look at this film, it signals a feeble turn towards art house eroticism which is tame by today's standards. For as Maria Schneider herself says ', we've seen much worse'.
1
Tetris is repetitive, melodramatic and surprisingly uneventful.
0
When his instincts are just right Kore-eda has both the perfect technique and the perfect touch for suggesting (without explicitly defining) the immanence of human experience.
1
Very good entertainment.
1
Casually comforting, like a warm blanket of nostalgia.
1
A fitting reunion for these movie titans, Godzilla vs. Kong gives the people what they want: plenty of monster mayhem!
1
Go Fish is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful film. If you don't believe me, throw this paper down and go see for yourself.
1
Though the film may not change many minds about what happened and why, at least it attempts to describe and explain events like few other documentaries on the same topic.
1
This update's Achilles heel is its pervasive and dizzying, shot-too-tight camera technique.
0
Although overly sappy in places and probably 20 minutes too long, this Robin Williams-in-drag vehicle provides the comic a slick surface for doing his shtick, within a story possessing broad family appeal.
1
Contains important messages about human rights, cultural liberty and the significance of artistic expression but, despite the real-life source material, is weighed down with clich茅s.
0
Overloaded with meandering subplots, greeting-card sentiment and trite filial hangups, It Runs in the Family is as dull and embarrassing as watching someone else's home movies.
0
The numbness of sitting through nearly two hours of dreck isn't all that kills the momentum going in to Death Proof.
0
The main character is profoundly unlikable... and the film becomes seriously gruesome with distasteful, gut-churning scenes of violence.
0
The monsters ... look like cartoonish, drooling mannequins. It's like being chased through the Macy's men's department.
0
Perfect Stranger is Halle Berry's latest descent into career purgatory.
0
It's made by people who apparently don't know a damned thing about rap or hip-hop and have made lame sitcom with 30 minutes of story stretched out to 90 minutes of movie.
0
For a good hour, Seven Psychopaths is lively, bloody fun. Then the yawning starts.
0
A quiet, steady burn filled with stretches of unsettlingly reverberant silence cleaved in half by a midpoint eruption of violence. Here there is before, and then there is after.
1
A delightful, visually splendid slice of brilliant madness that's occasionally uneven and too emotionally hollow to reach the heights of a true classic.
