Suburbicon
The ’50s costumes and scenery look authentic. But then the whole shebang nosedives into something luridly witless, foul and bloody.
Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
Boo 2 leaves me feeling just like I do after eating too much Halloween candy: a little sick.
The Snowman
Though trailers for this film have tried to amp it up as a horror movie, The Snowman isn’t that. Instead, it’s a brutal, bloody whodunit.
Only the Brave
This film’s characters are often heroic. Its language often isn’t.
Same Kind of Different as Me
This profound story reminds us that no matter how deep the differences that separate us, just a bit of love may help us to see others’dignity.
Geostorm
This tale would probably make more sense if you could just turn off the dialogue and watch the splashy images roll by.
Professor Marston and the Wonder Women
Comic book glances are only used to undergird the real focus here: the contorted sexual relationship and societal struggles of Wonder Woman’s creator, his wife and a pretty college student.
Marshall
Marshall inspires. But it disappoints, too.
Happy Death Day
This repeat-a-day flick features a college girl with a hangover who lives out her birthday with a sneer before being brutally murdered. Over and over and over.
The Foreigner
The Foreigner is a dark, grim actioner, filled with blood and bad words a-plenty. Rush Hour? Try crushed and dour.
