Booksmart
Booksmart makes some solid points about friendship and acceptance. But it does so by making the most of its R rating.
All Is True
There’s a certain paradox in the title All Is True: This movie about William Shakespeare is largely speculation.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
The John Wick movies aren’t so much stories as they are ballets of blood.
The Sun Is Also a Star
This angst-filled story’s positive themes are drowned out by some harsh profanity, racial slurs and suggestive conversations.
Tolkien
In examining Tolkien’s seminal stories, this movie neglected Tolkien’s own.
Poms
The Hollywood caricature of what it takes to be old and “cool” diminishes the upbeat message this film wants to send.
The Hustle
While trying to make a statement of sorts about exploited women, this remake mostly exploits crude humor itself in search of a cheap laugh.
El Chicano
El Chicano is, essentially, a Latino-centric superhero story—with the central character being a curious cross between Zorro and The Punisher.
Long Shot
Long Shot is everything you’d expect from an R-rated comedy starring Seth Rogen.
The Intruder
The Intruder is a simple, schlocky and salacious diversion, stuffed to its PG-13 gills with as much sex and violence as the MPAA will allow.
