Wicked (2024) 87% “Whether viewed as a flight of fancy or something deeper, Wicked deserves the chance to be seen and shared, which, given the film’s charms and the current cultural moment, could leave the holiday season’s other box office hopefuls feeling green with envy.” – MSNBC Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% “Beneath the outlandishness, half-dozen belly laughs and nerd-centric beats resides sweet nostalgia for the last quarter-century of superhero movies, while demonstrating that Marvel Studios possesses the power to laugh at itself.” – CNN.com Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% “Director Lee Isaac Chung tackles this major-studio assignment without bringing anything particularly distinctive to it, relying a little too much on how good his leads look wet and sweaty.” – CNN.com Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Faye (2024) 91% “It’s a perfect introduction to an actor who has worn the dreaded “D” word -- “difficult” or “diva,” take your pick -- throughout her career, in a film that serves as an unvarnished but appropriately laudatory tribute.” – CNN.com Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Sorry/Not Sorry (2023) 82% “Having comics as the principal storytellers adds a level of humor and wit to the conversation, but there’s a pointed side to all this as well.” – CNN.com Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Fly Me to the Moon (2024) 65% “Less than weighty in the comedy part of its equation, the film largely works as a vehicle for Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, even without completely sticking the landing.” – CNN.com Jul 11, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% “Stepping up in class in terms of casting, the film works best as an ode to the movies and grime of 1980s Hollywood, and a bit less as a mystery built around its driven starlet-in-waiting.” – CNN.com Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% “"Axel F" only turns up the heat to a low simmer, but as breezy escapism goes, those armed with the proper attitude might find themselves doing the neutron dance, or a version of it, all over again.” – CNN.com Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Despicable Me 4 (2024) 56% “A tired, disjointed medley of madcap visual gags, the animated film yields roughly as many legitimate laughs as can be counted on a Minion’s three-digit hand.” – CNN.com Jul 2, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 35% “While the Nicole Kidman-Zac Efron pairing should provoke curiosity, the tired beats of this romantic (and only occasional) comedy don’t rub together well enough to generate many sparks.” – CNN.com Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) 51% “Nobody has done more to keep the western flame kindling on the big screen than Kevin Costner, but the audacity of his latest rodeo feels like overreach, if not outright folly” – CNN.com Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple (2024) 90% “Like his trademark bandanas, “Disciple” wears its soul, and its love for the music these artists created, brightly displayed where all the world can see it.” – CNN.com Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Trigger Warning (2024) 20% “Trigger Warning might not be packing anything unexpected in the chamber, but for those who come to it with the proper mind-set, the movie doesn’t wind up firing blanks either.” – CNN.com Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Firebrand (2023) 58% “Alicia Vikander and Jude Law anchor this handsome exercise in historical fiction, which meanders a bit before nicely paying off at the end.” – CNN.com Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% “A wonderfully clever sequel that ages up the concept with one dreaded word: Puberty. Whatever one’s age, there’s much to like in a movie that offers the requisite laughs and sweetness, while managing to feel quite profound.” – CNN.com Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Brats (2024) 85% “While it’s fun seeing "The Breakfast Club" as they near “The Early-Bird Dinner Club” years, this is one of those projects that would have benefited from a more journalistic tone.” – CNN.com Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% “Breezy and slight, Hit Man provides a somewhat unlikely showcase for Glen Powell, teaming up with acclaimed director Richard Linklater to take an intriguing true story before embellishing it, Hollywood-style, beyond recognition.” – CNN.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Queer Planet (2023) 100% “In this golden age of nature documentaries unleashed by technological advances and the appetite for streaming content, Queer Planet deserves credit for trying to connect those dots back to our lives in a somewhat different way.” – CNN.com Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) 65% “The result has that calculated, tired feel about it, with a few moments of kinetic action but not enough to make the film play like anything more than a relic.” – CNN.com Jun 5, 2024 Full Review The Great Lillian Hall (2024) 87% “The film doesn’t turn over new ground but nevertheless yields poignant moments, primarily in the interplay between Lange and Bates, who could play this part in her sleep and still makes the most of it.” – CNN.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Jim Henson Idea Man (2024) 98% “Kermit might have sung that it’s not easy being green, but watching “Jim Henson: Idea Man,” it’s very easy appreciating the mind that gave us the Muppets and more, while still acknowledging the human foibles of the hand behind them.” – CNN.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Young Woman and the Sea (2024) 88% “Like Trudy Ederle swimming the English Channel, knowing where you’re going, in this case, isn’t as significant as the near-irresistible, awe-inspiring act of getting there.” – CNN.com May 30, 2024 Full Review The Beach Boys (2024) 89% “[The documentary] offers melancholy and nostalgia, and more than anything heightens appreciation for all those lingering vibrations, good and otherwise.” – CNN.com May 24, 2024 Full Review Atlas (2024) 19% “Atlas more than anything wants to operate as an action movie, and director Brad Peyton keeps the story moving with a check-your-brain-at-the-door level of efficiency, relying on the shorthand of how familiar almost every beat of it feels.” – CNN.com May 24, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% “An undeniably muscular sensory assault that’s a bit malnourished as an origin-story detour off Fury Road.” – CNN.com May 23, 2024 Full Review
