JULIET, NAKED Review — A Sweet Film With No Physical Nudity But Plenty of Naked Emotion
Juliet, Naked Review — Is it wrong to be obsessed with an endearing rom com about fan obsession? Blame social media for begetting the age of the Super Fan—the people who spend inordinate amounts of time researching every little tidbit out there about one particular person or subject, and communicating with other “enthusiasts” (obsessors?) who…
DISNEY’S CHRISTOPHER ROBIN Review — A Taste of Honey

THE DARKEST MINDS Review — Winston Sheds Light On Its Flaws, Which are Many
10-year-old Winston’s The Darkest Minds review says the film is derivative of so many other super power kid flicks The Darkest Minds is yet another young-adult story set in a dystopia where teens are always the heroes and the adults are dumb and insensitive. It rips off Divergent, X-Men and others, while bringing nothing new…
THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME Review — Girls Just Wanna Have Guns
The Spy Who Dumped Me review — Nobody Does it Better Than Sam and Kate I’d wager SNL’s Kate McKinnon is even funny in her sleep. And when you team her up with Outlander’s Sam Heughan (oh Jamie!) who is doubtless even sexy in his sleep, the plot, the co-stars (Mila who?) the score, the cinematography,…
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT Review — I Stand Almost Alone in My Opinion
Mission: Impossible—Fallout review — Probably the only negative review you’ll read First of all, I need to tell you that I’m not a Tom Cruise hater. I actually like the guy, both onscreen and off. He is by no means the reason for my contrary feelings about the film and my departure from critic colleagues…

EIGHTH GRADE Review — For the Junior High Schooler in All of Us
EIGHTH GRADE Review — Get ready for a trip back to Jr. High, warts and all From the very first seconds of Eighth Grade, you know it’s a special film.

MAMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN Review — Cheesy Yet Pleasy
Mama Mia! Here We Go Again Review — How this film works is Greek to me, but it does Cheesy? Check Plot free? Check Banal? Double check Overdone? Triple check Curiously intriguing and joyful? Quadruple check!!!! Mama Mia! Here We Go Again is definitely a film where the the whole is far greater than sum…
