“Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are a delight to watch in the otherwise sweet, but standard, action-romance-comedy The Fall Guy.” –

“There’s a sweet story of friendship at the center of the film, which the movie sometimes loses in its plot machinations.” –

“While Jodie Comer leads the movie with a committed, subdued and surprising performance, it’s not enough to keep this sparse movie afloat.” –

The Bikeriders (2023)
80%
B
“Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders delights in its cadre of rugged bikers and the dramas that come from their riding club. Yet, the joy of the film comes from seeing this world through Kathy (Jodie Comer), the wife of renegade rider Benny (Austin Butler).” –

Saltburn (2023)
71%
B+
“Saltburn expertly dramatizes the intoxication of lust and the limits we all blow past while under its influence. Fennell’s live-wire pacing is perfectly complemented by the committed cast, particularly Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi and Rosamund Pike.” –

The Holdovers (2023)
97%
B+
“Mixing Goodbye Mr. Chips with Rushmore, The Holdovers is, like its protagonist, gruff yet sweet. For those looking for a Holiday coming-of-age comedy with a spike of melancholy, it'll be the feel-good, feel-bad movie of the fall season.” –

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
59%
B
“Not to give damning praise, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie sets its narrative sights refreshingly low. ... It trusts the cultural cache of Mario and decides to jump straight into the fun of what people love about the games.” –

Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022)

“It’s a rocking good time with two and a half hours packed with Whitney music, Lifetime level overacting and just buckets of charisma. It’s not right, but it’s OK.” –

70%
B-
“If so much doesn’t work, then how does it make you cry by the end? Let’s just say, there’s a reason why Tom Hanks has two Oscars. His movie star charisma is in maximum overdrive here, even with a character as ornery as Otto.” –

Aline (2021)
56%
C
“Aline is a conundrum and a contradiction. More than any other recent biopic, Aline soldiers through all of the cliches and plot devices we’ve seen repeated ad nauseum. Yet, there’s a bizarre core that spins every scene on the axis.” –

“It’s broad, loud and frantic, barely stopping for a minute to craft a story. At 107 minutes, the energy sputters out, particularly in a rushed third act. Yet, the movie gives exactly what it promises, a fun ride full of antics galore.” –
