Almost Famous (2000)
91%
“A love story for both characters and director, Almost Famous hits just about every right note.It’s not merely for those after a dose of nostalgia and has the right balance of laughs, tension and drama to make it a superior coming-of-ager.” –

Thanksgiving (2023)

3/5
“The ingredients are absolutely familiar, but what makes the whole recipe satisfying is the sheer amount of gruesome fun Roth manages to have with the concept. ” –

Cry Macho (2021)
58%
3/5
“Eastwood's back with a look at manliness filtered through the wisdom of aging. It makes the odd stultifying stop and falls into several cliché potholes, yet Cry Macho ultimately finds its way.” –

The Craft: Legacy (2020)
48%
3/5
“Looking to cast a spell of its own, The Craft: Legacy tries some new tricks. It's just a shame that for all the worthwhile additions, it's sometimes more toil than bubble.” –

Lady and the Tramp (2019)
67%
3/5
“This Tramp doesn't really stamp a fresh personality on a story already told well. But it also doesn't embarrass itself compared to the original and it's got a shaggy charm of its own.” –

Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020)
8%
2/5
“Fantasy Island is distinctly sub-par filmmaking full of clichés and lacking in real entertainment value. No one would call this their ultimate fantasy.” –

The Turning (2020)
12%
3/5
“The Turning at least offers up enough moody chills and a lead in Mackenzie Davis it's not hard to root for as the craziness builds.” –

The Kitchen (2019)
24%
2/5
“The Kitchen flits through scenes, coming across as its own trailer rather than a full movie. And it makes disappointing use of its great components, wasting three chewy, thoughtful core performances.” –

Crawl (2019)
84%
2/5
“As a mindless summer horror diversion, Crawl is watchable if rarely all that thrilling. The movie's far from toothless, yet often substitutes easy scares for any real substance, and suffers for that.” –

Brightburn (2019)
57%
2/5
“Crossbreeding superhero tropes with horror staples was an idea laden with promise. Brightburn is enlivened by trademark James Gunn black comedy, but hamstrung by sketchy writing and a botched sense of dread.” –

Overboard (2018)

2/5
“Overboard ekes out laughs but fails to add the romance to the comedy. We'd leave this one in the water.” –

Den of Thieves (2018)
42%
2/5
“Slick and solid in moments, Den Of Thieves disappoints with its reliance on easy plotting and gruff, overcooked acting. One for Butler completists only.” –

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)
87%
2/5
“Silly and aimed squarely at the younger crowd, Captain Underpants has enough spirit to be entertaining. Just don't expect it to work all the time.” –

Cars 3 (2017)
69%
3/5
“By driving back to the core homespun wisdom of Cars, the third film is a course correct from the second. But this is still not vintage Pixar.” –

Sleepless (2017)
25%
2/5
“Less sleepless, more insomnia cure. For all its attempts at action, it's a rote, dull crime thriller with little fresh to offer.” –

Blood Father (2016)

3/5
“This is Mel Gibson back to doing what he once did best, just older and grumpier. The movie has problems but delivers when it needs to.” –

The Boss (2016)
22%
2/5
“Fitfully funny but failing to really build to much of anything, The Boss is mostly a bust. Even its main character would have a hard time buying it.” –

“Quick on its wits and fast with its fists, this is Black firmly back doing what he does best. And nobody out there does it better.” –

No Good Deed (2014)
13%
2/5
“Elba gives good psycho smoulder and Henson occasionally gets to flex her acting muscles and break out of the damsel-in-distress clichs when she's fighting back against this conflicted home invader, yet neither can overcome the script's limitations.” –

“When a film can waste a character actor as respected as Fichtner, you know there are bigger problems beyond a slightly hackneyed script.” –
