Quiet Place, A: Day One

The prequel to John Krasinski’s horror/science fiction duo, A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, Day One offers a self-contained story that is different than the earlier films both in tone and intent. This is a moodier, more existential look ...

Gran Turismo

Gran Turismo is so desperate to get viewers to believe that it starts out with one of the greatest clichés of sports movies: Based on a true story. Of course, the words “based on” allow for a lot of liberties to be taken and, in the case of t...

Shazam! Fury of the Gods

The second Shazam! movie, sequel to the 2019 modest success, is an undercooked casserole of cliched narrative elements, underdeveloped characters, juvenile humor, and a deus ex machina cameo. It embodies all that’s bad about modern superhero mov...

King's Man, The

The problem with The King’s Man isn’t that it’s a bad film (it isn’t) but an unnecessary one. To the extent that there was a worthwhile story to be told in this comic book-based universe, it was presented in Matthew Vaughn’s 2015 feature...

Quiet Place Part II, A

My review of John Krasinski’s 2018 A Quiet Place called the movie “a superb exercise in understated terror that puts to shame ‘horror’ films that rely on jump scares and cheap theatrics.” It was one of the best films of the year and ...

In Shazam!, the positives outweigh the negatives. The film’s fresh aspects are strong enough to keep the stale ones at bay. With this 2019 feature, one tiny corner of the DC Extended Universe has finally embraced the concept of “humor,” ...

Captain Marvel

With the introduction of Captain Marvel into an already crowded field, the MCU has become unbalanced. Ordinary villains might as well give up and conventional heroes can retire. For decades, Warner Brothers/DC has had trouble figuring out how ...

Serenity

For a while, it seems like Serenity is going to a be a fairly routine neo-noir thriller. That’s not necessarily a bad prospect with a scraggly-looking Matthew McConaughey playing a down-on-his-luck free-spirit and a blond Anne Hathaway as the...

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Legend of Tarzan, The

In 2016, one wonders whether there’s a place in cinema for the 104-year old Tarzan. To make the character more relevant to a modern audience, screenwriters Adam Cozad and Craig Brewer, along with director David Yates (who helmed the final four ...
