Ralph Breaks the Internet Review: Wreck’s in Effect

Jason Gorber — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 13:00:41 +0000

Ralph Breaks the Internet provides a welcome return to the world of Wreck-It Ralph, the 2012 film that found an arcade villain on a hero’s journey for acceptance and redemption. The vintage world of quarter-fed machines takes on a different scope when the World Wide Web comes into play. In many ways, Wreck-It Ralph helped...

‘Justice League’ Review: A Superhero Mashup/Mess Up

Philip Brown — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:00:32 +0000

Warner Bros.’ big, bloated ‘Justice League’ has been the subject of so many sneering editorials and clickbait news stories about reshoots that it’s almost a shock to see the movie even make it to theaters. Unsurprisingly, the flick suffers from a serious identity crisis. Whatever it was that Zack Snyder initially planned for this ‘Batman...

‘Wonder Woman’ Review: Whew! It’s Good!

Philip Brown — Thu, 01 Jun 2017 20:00:45 +0000

Warner Bros.’ attempt to get in on the Marvel comic book universe game has been off to a rocky start. While the first few DCU movies have their supporters, the detractors are legion and vocal, tired of the studio’s insistence that grimness is the same as gravity. The ‘Wonder Woman’ movie arrives with a mixture...

‘Keeping Up with the Joneses’ Review: Not Much to Keep Up With

Philip Brown — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 19:00:37 +0000

‘Keeping Up with the Joneses’ is cute. If you’ve seen the trailer or even know the premise, the story doesn’t offer much in the way of surprises. It’s pretty standard suburbanite lameness humor with a little bit of spy hijinks tossed in to flavor with explosions and mild sexiness. What makes the movie rise just...

‘Criminal’ Review: No Defense Possible

Philip Brown — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 13:00:38 +0000

Poor Kevin Costner. Once one of the most ridiculously powerful and privileged stars in Hollywood, it’s hard to imagine the guy could sink any lower. Aside from his sad-eyed cameos in Zack Snyder’s superverse, the actor now almost exclusively works in trash. Specifically, he’s started headlining bargain basement action movies with scripts that he would...

Superman’ has endured since it was released, the future of DC Comics’ ambitious Cinematic Universe project may be in some jeopardy.

‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ Review: Well, At Least It Looks Pretty

Philip Brown — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 04:00:19 +0000

After three years of studio hype and internet hate, ‘Batman v. Superman’ is finally here. Predictably, the first wave of reviews have been overwhelmingly harsh. However, for the most part, that reaction has been a little overblown. ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ (just rolls off the tongue, don’t it?) is neither as good as...

‘Triple 9’ Review: A By-the-Numbers Crime Flick

Philip Brown — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:00:22 +0000

John Hillcoat is a talented filmmaker. All of his movies so far (‘The Proposition’, ‘The Road’ and ‘Lawless’) show that he has a gritty voice and a certain skill with actors. However, his films all feel like they’re lacking something. They share a studious tone suggesting hints of profundity beneath their genre movie façade, but...
