NO STARS
1917

Boring,
poorly paced and scripted. Derivative of much better
war films.

NO STARS
Bad Boys for LIfe

Terrible film.
As poorly
scripted and
acted as all
previous
films.

 

NO STARS
Birds of Prey

Terrible film.
Pseudo-sequel
to Suicide Squad
deviates from
the comic "Birds
of Prey" with
putrid script.

NO STARS
Dolittle

Robert Downey,
Jr. mumbles his
way through this
entire poorly
scripted film.

 

The Invisible Man

Refreshing update on the classic H.G. Wells story.

 

NO STARS
Spenser Confidential


The TV series
with Robert
Urich and
Avery Brooks
is so much
better.

 

Bloodshot

Based on the
Valiant comic
book, the best thing about this
cyborg film is
the sharp
editing by
Jim May.

 

TBD
STARS
Extraction

To be
determined

 

The Old Guard

Creative script,
based on the
comic book;
mercenaries,
centuries old,
who don't die.
As usual,
Charlize
Theron delivers.

 

Hard Kill

Script and
solid
performances
by cast and
crew make this
more than just
another
Bruce Willis
"B-Movie."

 

TBD
STARS
The Eight Hundred

To be
determined

 

Ava

An intense
but too
convoluted
spy story that
should have
learned from
"Anna."

 

The New Mutants

A very dark,
murky, and
brooding film
about
adolescents
with super-
powers.

 

NO STARS
Tenet

A boring,
laborious,
convoluted
science fiction story that never should have
been made.

 

Mulan

Exceptional
performance by
Liu Yifei as
Mulan lifts
Disney's
"Whitewashing"
of Asian
culture.

 

Tremors:
Shrieker Island

One of the
best films
in this
franchise.

 

Let Him Go

Diane Lane and Kevin Costner
deliver strong
performances
in this well-
scripted
film.

 

La Vita Davanti A Se
(The Life Ahead)

Script and
direction is slowly
paced, but Sophia
Loren gives
energy to this film
about a former
prostitute and
Jewish Holocaust
survivor who
rescues children.

Monster Hunter

Here you'll find one of the best
CGI dragons in
film history.

 

Skylines
Vengeance Is On

the Horizon

Much better
than the
average
science fiction
"B-Movie."

 

News of the World

Tom Hanks
and Helena Zengel
deliver strong
performances
in this well-
scripted
western.

 

NO STARS
Wonder Woman '84

An extremely
poorly written,
poorly directed,
piece of
trash.

 



Emma

Here's another
Jane Austen
"English manners" soap opera (romcom), but
it works due to
a well-written script and fine ensemble acting.
