Bad Trip

Bad Trip is a bad movie. Period.

Deadly Illusions

An inescapably trashy movie, with no greater goal than to shock and titillate and further define the word salacious.

News of the World

Tom Hanks and a little girl ride across 1800s Texas in News of the World.

News of the World speaks to the difficulties of relationship, of crossing cultural boundaries to truly meet people and earn their trust.

Savages

This movie’s title is telling: The bad guys are savage. The good guys are savage. But the most brutal, horrific, savage thing of all is the movie itself.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

We see a lineup of the six superheroes in Justice League.

It’s bloodier. More profane. Its quasi-spirituality can be perplexing. And then there’s this: It’s just a darker movie.

Cherry

A solider sits and talks on the phone.

Whatever purpose it has, and however well it might be crafted, Cherry makes for a miserable viewing experience.

Crisis

A man and a woman sit in an office.

If you tossed aside all of this movie’s f-words, Crisis’ cautionary message could have cruised into PG-13 territory.

Moxie

Much like how Moxie the zine makes many mistakes in its protests, so does Moxie the film.

Coming 2 America

Two royals (one played by Eddie Murphy) dress in traditional cultural garb.

Is this belated sequel fit for a 13-year-old to watch, much less watch alone? I think not.
