Movie Review: Saltburn
Emerald Fennell's "Saltburn" is a gorgeously filmed and brilliantly acted bit of provocation, hampered by a script that doesn't quite know what it wants to say.

Movie Review: Gone Girl
Every few years a book (yes, people still read) comes along and grabs the attention of what seems to be a nation. About five years ago it was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And then Gone Girl (written by Gillian Flynn) seemed to take over in the same manner. Gone Girl was a rare page turning mystery novel that didn’t necessarily bring anything new to the table in terms of plot, but it was beauti...[Read More]
Movie Review: The World’s End
I am a huge fan of Edgar Wright, the English director who helmed Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010). Wright is responsible for some of my favorite comedies, and he is a director whose work I will always support. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are the first two parts of a thematic trilogy; one not connected by characters or narrative, but instead by sh...[Read More]

Movie Review: Jack Reacher
Jack Reacher, a film about a former Military Police Major turned drifter/justice dispenser, stars Tom Cruise as the title character involved in a defense case with Helen Rodin (Rosamund Pike), a stunning and sharp lawyer who has taken on the task of trying to keep a man convicted of killing five random people from receiving the death penalty.

Movie Review: Wrath of the Titans
For as long as I can remember, I have loved the films of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen. When it was announced in 2009 that the long-discussed remake of Harryhausen’s Clash of the Titans (1981) was finally going to be made, I was curious to see how it turned out. After the remake came out in 2010, I thought that it was a flawed but entertaining popcorn film that had some interesting sp...[Read More]

Movie Review: Johnny English Reborn
There are three words that describe Johnny English Reborn. The first is silly; the second is harmless; the third is okay. It’s a silly, harmless comedy that doesn’t stand-out from the crowd, but has enough wit and fun to keep it far from the realm of dismal failure. Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) has left British Intelligence behind, after a rather embarrassing foul-up that left the newly elected...[Read More]
