New York Ninja (2021) 96% B- “New York Ninja is one of those bad movies that's just bad enough to actually be entertaining.” – FilmJerk.com Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) 58% B- “Wonder Woman 1984 is not as entertaining or satisfying as its predecessor was in the summer of 2017, it's a good but flawed film that deserves better considerations.” – FilmJerk.com Jan 25, 2021 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% B+ “There is so much to recommend about this film. I just wish the ending matched the quality of the rest of the film.” – FilmJerk.com Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula (2020) 55% A “The high-concept pitch for this movie would be to imagine Dominic Toretto from The Fast and the Furious series was dropped into Mad Max: Fury Road, which itself was dropped into World War Z.” – FilmJerk.com Aug 21, 2020 Full Review Cut Throat City (2020) 72% B “With this third feature, RZA has grown more assured as a filmmaker.” – FilmJerk.com Aug 21, 2020 Full Review Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band (2019) 84% A “This movie, and the band it covers, has affected me. My mind is racing with so many concepts, my heart and my soul overflowing with conflicted emotions.” – FilmJerk.com Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Buffaloed (2019) 80% B+ “It's a pleasant enough distraction in a world overloaded with unpleasantness. And, sometimes, a pleasant enough distraction is good enough.” – FilmJerk.com Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Crying Fist (2005) A “While boxing movies are a dime a dozen, those with this kind of true emotional involvement do not come around all that often.” – FilmJerk.com Feb 11, 2020 Full Review VHYes (2019) 79% A- “Weird and creepy and funny and an exceptional social commentary on our society.” – FilmJerk.com Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Carmine Street Guitars (2018) 97% A “Carmine Street Guitars is, essentially, about pure love. A pure love of a craft. A pure love of the music, and a pure love a city. A pure love of creation.” – FilmJerk.com Apr 23, 2019 Full Review The Burial of Kojo (2018) 100% A- “Like Coltrane or Brubeck, whose compositions were regularly equally tightly structured and wildly improvisational, playing with the conventions of what you expect from a certain genre.” – FilmJerk.com Apr 8, 2019 Full Review The Hero (2017) 77% “Watching Sam Elliott work [...] has been one of the great joys of entertainment, and never has he had a role quite like Lee Hayden, leading a movie quite like "The Hero."” – FilmJerk.com Feb 10, 2019 Full Review The Other Side of the Wind (2018) 82% B- “'So, how was it?' my wife asked when I called her after the screening ended. 'There's a lot to unpack,' was the only reply I could think of at that moment.” – FilmJerk.com Oct 31, 2018 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% A+ “BlacKKKlansman, after 21 feature films and 11 documentaries, is the film that shows what he's learned after thirty plus years behind the camera. BlacKKKlansman is the film Spike Lee was destined to make.” – FilmJerk.com Aug 8, 2018 Full Review RBG (2018) 93% A “One's enjoyment of the new documentary "RBG" will probably be gauged by how well you know the titular subject.” – FilmJerk.com May 3, 2018 Full Review The Last Movie Star (2017) 61% B+ “When you've got "it", you've probably got it forever... [E]very once in a while, you might get offered something that will remind everyone that you still got it.” – FilmJerk.com Mar 27, 2018 Full Review The Female Brain (2017) 37% C- “Whitney Cummings is funny as hell. Usually.” – FilmJerk.com Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Overdrive (2017) 29% B- “While not a great movie, was quite a bit of fun, and better than any of the "Fast and Furious" movies they've been making for the past decade.” – FilmJerk.com Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Literally, Right Before Aaron (2017) 21% D+ “Somewhere, down the line, some young would-be filmmaker will stumble on to this film on Netflix, see how something like this could get financed, and will become inspired to make their own movie for all the wrong reasons.” – FilmJerk.com Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Landline (2017) 74% D+ “Let's face facts: no one really has a longing melancholy for the days of Blockbuster Video stores and eyebrow rings and Lorena Bobbett roller blades and slam poetry right now.” – FilmJerk.com Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Score: A Film Music Documentary (2016) 91% A “A beautiful love letter to the movies and the people who help make them even more beautiful.” – FilmJerk.com May 5, 2017 Full Review Mary Pickford: The Muse of the Movies (2008) 88% A+ “Mary Pickford: Muse of the Movies deserves to be put on the list of not just the best documentaries about cinema but the greatest movies about the movies ever.” – FilmJerk.com May 2, 2016 Full Review The Battered Bastards of Baseball (2014) 100% A+ “Is to baseball what "Slap Shot" was to hockey.” – FilmJerk.com Jul 10, 2014 Full Review Life Itself (2014) 98% A+ “I find myself borrowing from Ebert to call "Life Itself" one of the best films about an American life I could ever see.” – FilmJerk.com Jun 30, 2014 Full Review Dinotasia (2012) 25% C “Plays like a series of cut-scenes from a 1997 PlayStation game.” – FilmJerk.com Nov 5, 2012 Full Review
