Brannigan (1975) 48% “With everything working against him, the Duke manages to be an old-school badass and stick it to those fancypants Brits. ” – Entertainment Weekly Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% “A giddy, gruesome, Grand Guignol step in the right direction. Horror lovers should gobble it up.” – Esquire Magazine Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% “This howler of a ghost story wants to be an arthouse Poltergeist, but it can’t even be bothered to deliver either suspense or scares. It’s a haunted house movie that’s sabotaged by its own tedious minimalism.” – Esquire Magazine Jan 23, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% “Over and over again, Mangold keeps stacking the deck with clichés until the film ends up feeling as dishonest as Dylan’s own self-mythologizing tall tales about growing up in a traveling carnival.” – Esquire Magazine Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “That’s a lot of movie, right there. But Scott manages to keep the overstuffed narrative humming along between volleys of shock-and-awe bombast... Are you not entertained? I was. And you will be too. Just not as much as the first time around.” – Esquire Magazine Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Salem's Lot (2024) 46% 3/5 “The third and latest iteration of Stephen King’s 1975 novel isn’t a great vampire movie, but it will do nicely until the next one comes along. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 78% 4/5 “Saturday Night may not be the most factually accurate account of what went down in Studio 8H a half century ago, but it’s a delightfully giddy hit of pop nostalgia.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Arcadian (2024) 78% 3/5 “The chief reason to check out Arcadian is the film’s mangy-haired, nocturnal monsters who howl like haunted banshees and shake their ravenous maws with blurry speed. ” – AARP Movies for Grownups Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Road House (2024) 60% 3/5 “The brawls are nice and crunchy, and the insanely shredded Gyllenhaal is believable as a brute with a heart of gold, but the villain pales next to the original’s Ben Gazzara,” – AARP Movies for Grownups Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% A “It’s a kinky, sinister kick, mainly due to Jack Nicholson’s greatest performance ever. ” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% “Dune: Part Two isn’t just an embarrassment of narrative and retinal riches; it’s the sort of big-canvas franchise storytelling we haven’t see since The Lord of the Rings came to a close back at the shire.” – Esquire Magazine Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% “I was completely swept away by Denis Villeneuve's eye-candy vision, fully convinced that I was watching the best sci-fi movie of the decade. Yes, it's that good.” – Esquire Magazine Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Halloween Kills (2021) 39% 3/5 “The violence is excessively gory and the kills come at a brisk clip if you're into that sort of thing, but the main reason to check this out is to watch Curtis' haunting performance. She elevates all of the bloody nonsense around her.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Vanquish (2021) 5% 3/5 “The action scenes are serviceable. If it weren't for a semi-surprising third-act twist, this would feel right at home on Cinemax circa 1992.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Apr 16, 2021 Full Review David Byrne's American Utopia (2020) 97% “Spike Lee, one of our most consistently dazzling directors, captures not only the show's fantastic songs and innovative choreography but also its energy, spirit and optimism. It's one of the all-time great concert films right out of the gate.” – AARP Movies for Grownups Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) 83% “The message of the movie seems to be that it's never too late to realize those dreams, even the silliest ones.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 28, 2020 Full Review Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood (2017) 85% B+ “If you've already pored over Bowers' book, there's a bit of redundancy and repetitiveness to the gentleman hustler's revelations. But honestly, who tires of hearing gossip about A-list gang bangs, fetishes, and hook-ups?” – Entertainment Weekly May 28, 2020 Full Review True History of the Kelly Gang (2019) 80% 4/5 “[George] McKay plays fast and loose with the facts, but he has delivered a deeply unsettling tale drenched in gloom, doom, and Old Testament vengeance.” – AARP Movies for Grownups May 4, 2020 Full Review The Irishman (2019) 95% “It's as if the director was out to prove, once and for all, that he's the last member of the movie-brat generation who's still got it. And got it, he does.” – Esquire Magazine Dec 11, 2019 Full Review The Dead Don't Die (2019) 54% B- “Jarmusch loads his genre-tweaking experiment with so many of his A-list friends that it's a gas just hanging out in their company.” – Entertainment Weekly Jun 15, 2019 Full Review Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019) 92% A- “The Rolling Thunder Revue was Dylan's personal magical mystery tour - and in Scorsese's hands, there's no shortage of magic or mystery.” – Entertainment Weekly Jun 13, 2019 Full Review The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) 60% C+ “The smile on your face in the first act starts to feel more like an obligatory plastered-on grin by the third.” – Entertainment Weekly Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) 42% C- “Godzilla: King of the Monsters is not a good movie. In fact, it's a pretty terrible one. Don't shoot the messenger, Kaiju fans.” – Entertainment Weekly May 28, 2019 Full Review Avengement (2019) 89% B “If you like watching an endless string of prison brawls and pub fights connected by the thinnest of narrative threads, then you'll be in heaven.” – Entertainment Weekly May 24, 2019 Full Review The Perfection (2018) 70% B “Some folks may laugh when director Richard Shepard wants their jaws to drop. But it delivers. The Perfection is a pure hit of twisted, absurd camp catnip.” – Entertainment Weekly May 23, 2019 Full Review
