Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% B- “...Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has it’s footing. It’s full camp. It’s a genre buffet that focuses more on its vignettes than answering plot hole questions. It just might be the most fun you’ll have in theaters with your family this holiday season!” – Picture Lock Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% B- “Nostalgia is another character that interweaves itself in this storyline. It makes the film a popcorn blockbuster that will pass the time, but I’m not sure it will stand the test of time as a classic like Gladiator.” – Picture Lock Nov 21, 2024 Full Review The Union (2024) 38% C- “The Union puts Netflix’s flex of money on display. It has the locations, A-list stars and action set pieces! However, don’t let the glitz and glam fool you, this movie can’t buy a heart or soul to make it the espionage comedy it wants to be.” – Picture Lock Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% A- “Inside Out 2 is a winner because it’s thought provoking in addressing how the coming of age passage can be difficult, awkward and beautiful all at once! ” – Picture Lock Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 11% D “Alfred Hitchcock said “To make a great film you need three things- the script, the script, and the script”. Madame Web is the perfect example of what happens when those three things are missing.” – Picture Lock May 22, 2024 Full Review Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) 51% C- “The dialogue and comedic punch lines feel so paint-by-numbers, you’d be hard-pressed to laugh when the music dies down just enough for them to stick the line. ” – Picture Lock Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Creed III (2023) 89% A “This is a by-the-numbers Creed movie, infused with intimacy and originality that makes the film stand out. You get what you would expect but it continually strives to slip the predictable as well. ” – Picture Lock Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 96% A “We want the thrill of suspense, to root for characters, to be in awe of cinematography, and to share the collective experience of unity in watching a film with strangers.This movie gives you that and more!” – Picture Lock Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Senior Year (2022) 23% D “There have been plenty of child stuck in an adult’s body movies...It may follow the cookie cut examples of others, but its sweet messages are buried under so many cringeworthy moments.” – Picture Lock Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (2022) 56% C “It’s riddled with fart jokes and sophomoric humor, while also having witty lines that you need to pay attention to catch. It’s this strange in between that makes this movie memorable and forgettable at the same time.” – Picture Lock Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% B+ “You can hear a pin drop in the first five minutes of Wakanda Forever. It’s intense and doesn’t let go of wrestling with loss, the cycle of violence and how we respond to it all throughout its running time. Even with that, this film is a vibe!” – Picture Lock Jan 5, 2023 Full Review The Menu (2022) 88% B “ The visually intimate and beautiful set, slowly turns into a claustrophobic and horrifying space. This is definitely worth the price of admission! Just remember to tip your waiter.” – Picture Lock Jan 5, 2023 Full Review M3GAN (2022) 93% C “The memes that have come from the trailer alone have been enough to have M3GAN ascend to memorable villain status. However, the film itself is a paint by numbers horror movie that, unlike its robotic star, doesn’t have the same amount of life and punch!” – Picture Lock Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Nope (2022) 83% B “Nope establishes Jordan Peele as an auteur, with a unique perspective in telling stories cinematically! Don’t worry folks, if you think you saw the movie in the final trailers, you don’t know what you’re in for. ” – Picture Lock Dec 30, 2022 Full Review
