I Do... Until I Don't (2017) 29% .5/5 “The new indie rule would seem to be, why have something to say when having nothing to say is just as viable an option.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Home Again (2017) 33% .5/5 “Is there anything less relatable than rich, successful white people whining about how hard they have it?” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Leap! (2016) 53% .5/5 “Heavy-handed, hideous and humorless, the talented supporting voice cast can't do much with this tripe that even the little kids in the target audience will assuredly rip to shreds on the way home.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review The LEGO NINJAGO Movie (2017) 56% 2/5 “The low point of the Lego franchise drops the ball hard by being a warmer, fuzzier retread of the first two films.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) 48% .5/5 “A dream of dark and troubling things.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Marshall (2017) 80% 2/5 “Young Mr. Lincoln by way of the Hallmark Channel.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Unfriend (2016) 17% 2.5/5 “Sometimes it's fun to just sit back and let a movie jump-scare you for 95 minutes.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review American Assassin (2017) 34% .5/5 “How on Earth is this from the same guy who gave us L.I.E. and 12 and Holding?” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Flatliners (2017) 4% .5/5 “A heartless remake of already brain-dead material.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Brad's Status (2017) 79% 2/5 “A good cast and an OK script are let down by directorial fumbling and an ending that leaves you wondering just what exactly, if anything, the film was ever trying to say.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review The Midwife (2017) 88% 4/5 “Provost delivers Ozu by way of Chantal Akerman in this razor-sharp portrait of troubled, dreary, ordinary lives.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Happy Death Day (2017) 71% 3.5/5 “Turns out being a shameless Groundhog Day rip-off is not the worst thing that can happen to your movie.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Geostorm (2017) 18% 2/5 “At least they tried to go weird with it, which I will always appreciate.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Jigsaw (2017) 32% 2/5 “Fun and gruesome though it may be, it's too little too late to save the now eight-deep Saw series.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) 32% 1/5 “Every time a cash register rings, a studio executive gets their wings.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Thank You for Your Service (2017) 77% 3/5 “Cold but never heartless and never afraid of how desolate the landscape of mental illness can be.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017) 5% .5/5 “This film is a cinematic hate crime.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Ferdinand (2017) 70% 3.5/5 “Loud and raucous while staying gentle and sweet, the film has its heart in the right place and is one of the better releases from animation house Blue Sky.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review The Star (2017) 45% 1/5 “A weird and off-putting story conceit that doesn't add anything new to one of the most often-told stories of modern times.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Wonderstruck (2017) 68% 4.5/5 “An underrated master delivers one of the best films of the year.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Just Getting Started (2017) 5% 2/5 “Scripts this bad will sometimes seem fun with enough enthusiasm behind or in front of the camera, but the star power on display isn't enough to make this anything but a (hopefully) forgettable misstep for all involved.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) 79% 3.5/5 “A great supporting cast and beautiful photography capturing a fairy-tale-like 19th-century London.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) 29% 2/5 “A lot more knife fights and exploding yachts than you might expect.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Peter Rabbit (2018) 64% 4/5 “A breathless, dizzyingly joyous adventure that brings some seriously intelligent skill to these classic hare-brained characters.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Insidious: The Last Key (2018) 34% 2.5/5 “A lot of fumbling over themes of family unity and believing in yourself - and that abusive fathers may not always be the most trustworthy people.” – Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review
