Movies 온라인카지노추천 Shows
Havoc (2025) 66% 3/5 “Messy script and boring characters be damned, Evans still delivers better action than Netflix deserves.” – ComicBook.com Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% “The director behind Creed and Black Panther is who we thought he was and so much more. His new movie, Sinners, is the kind of blockbuster masterpiece that seems to come along only once every few years.” – ComicBook.com Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Salem's Lot (2024) 46% 3/5 “For all of its flaws, of which there are several, Salem's Lot still makes for an enjoyable Halloween season watch.” – ComicBook.com Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 4/5 “We tend to brush off the idea that we can make a difference. Twisters tosses that idea in the garbage can and kicks that can down a flight of stairs; the film's entire thesis is, "Hope is real, hope is necessary, and hope is totally badass."” – ComicBook.com Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 4.5/5 “As deep as Inside Out 2 is, this is also a thoroughly funny film. Don't think you're paying just to sit through an animated therapy session (though, that actually sounds great).” – ComicBook.com Jun 20, 2024 Full Review The Garfield Movie (2024) 37% 2/5 “The Garfield Movie has a lot on its mind, and some of the ideas in that mind could've translated into something worthwhile on the screen. But this is Garfield we're talking about. Laziness is his entire M.O. ...” – ComicBook.com May 21, 2024 Full Review Migration (2023) 73% 3.5/5.0 “I feel safe in calling Migration one of Illumination's best films to date. It's consistently sweet, surprisingly funny, and its filmmakers are aware of the destination from beginning to end. ” – ComicBook.com Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 84% 4/5 “Thanksgiving is the best directorial effort of Eli Roth's career, and I don't think it's particularly close. The thrills are good, the gore is great, and I'm thankful for the bountiful harvest of slasher goodness the film provides. ” – ComicBook.com Nov 15, 2023 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 75% 3/5 “Ending on a good note really does go a long way. A Haunting in Venice might be the most uneven and labored of Branagh's Hercule Poirot tales, but fans of the series will leave the theater satisfied nonetheless.” – ComicBook.com Sep 10, 2023 Full Review Haunted Mansion (2023) 38% 4/5 “At long last, Haunted Mansion finally gets the adaptation the beloved ride has always deserved – a fun, scary, and surprisingly emotional time at the movies. It’s certainly Disney's best live-action movie since Pirates of the Caribbean.” – ComicBook.com Jul 25, 2023 Full Review They Cloned Tyrone (2023) 95% 4/5 “As smart and biting as the story itself is, so much hinges on the performances of the actors. Parris and Foxx are fantastic, as you'd probably expect from actors of their caliber. But make no mistake: this is John Boyega's movie. ” – ComicBook.com Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Extraction 2 (2023) 80% 3.5/5 “This is the gnarly pulse-pounder that Netflix advertised back in 2020. This is the bombastic action extravaganza we've been waiting for.” – ComicBook.com Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Peter Pan & Wendy (2023) 65% 4/5 “David Lowery's desire to bring the human experience to the forefront of every story he tells is as present here as it is in any of his other films, this one just comes with a gaggle of Lost Boys and a little bit of pixie dust.” – ComicBook.com Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Murder Mystery 2 (2023) 46% 2/5 “I'd much rather see an interesting, outlandish bad movie than a totally forgettable, average one. Sadly, Murder Mystery 2 is the latter.” – ComicBook.com Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Scream VI (2023) 77% 4/5 “No franchise like Scream has to constantly reinvent itself with meta narratives while also keeping direct connections to its original installments. Scream VI is a mean, nasty, rollicking good time at the movies, just as Wes Craven always intended.” – ComicBook.com Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Wendell & Wild (2022) 80% 4/5 “Selick and Peele deliver something only the two of them could, a film filled with heavy hearts and dark humor that can both appease longtime horror fans and act as a gateway to young viewers who haven't taken a dive into the genre.” – ComicBook.com Oct 21, 2022 Full Review The Black Phone (2022) 81% 4/5 “Derrickson's latest effort isn't as outright horrifying as some of his previous horror entries, but The Black Phone represents a huge step forward in the mastery of his craft. He weaves a haunting tale that leaves a long-lasting impression.” – ComicBook.com Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Spiderhead (2022) 39% 2.5/5 “Spiderhead is absolutely the best work of Chris Hemsworth's career, and that's saying a lot for folks who have seen Bad Times at the El Royale or Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. It's just a shame that performance comes in such an average, forgettable film.” – ComicBook.com Jun 16, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% 5/5 “Lightyear aims for infinity and more than delivers, taking us a little further beyond what we'd expected.” – ComicBook.com Jun 13, 2022 Full Review Hustle (2022) 94% 4/5 “Hustle isn't something that hasn't been seen or done before, it's just a much better version of those things than we've seen in a very, very long time. This kind of mid-budget adult sports drama has been sorely missed.” – ComicBook.com Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) 81% 4/5 “Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is the unique movie that has its cheese and eats it too, excelling in both regards to deliver a satirical thriller that's every bit sweet as it is scathing. This is the rare case where nostalgia can truly be a beautiful thing.” – ComicBook.com May 17, 2022 Full Review Death on the Nile (2022) 62% 3. 5/5 “This take on IDeath on the Nilei largely sticks to Agatha Christie's original story, so there aren't any major surprises waiting at the end if you've already read her tale or watched the 1978 film.” – ComicBook.com Feb 7, 2022 Full Review Red Notice (2021) 37% 3/5 “This isn't rocket science and, to Thurber's credit, no attempts are made to make Red Notice anything more than it is or should be. It's the best kind of stay-home-and-watch-Netflix movie you could hope for.” – ComicBook.com Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Reminiscence (2021) 37% 2.5/5 “It's hard not to applaud Joy's ambition with Reminiscence. She's swinging for the fences and trying to incorporate several different stories, themes, and sci-fi elements. Joy just struggles to bring them all together in a cohesive fashion.” – ComicBook.com Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Free Guy (2021) 80% 4/5 “It's hard to make a good video game. It's hard to make a great romantic comedy. Somehow, Free Guy turns out to be both, while also containing Ryan Reynolds' best role to date. It's a sweet, sweet fantasy that's impossible not to enjoy.” – ComicBook.com Aug 5, 2021 Full Review
