The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% 2.5/4 “The end result is a sequel that’s both funnier and more violent than its predecessor, but also a lot more by-the-numbers in its approach.” – Boston.com Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Instigators (2024) 41% 3/4 “Clocking in at a brisk 102 minutes with credits, “The Instigators” is the perfect after-dinner streaming choice. Unlike its protagonists, it knows how to get in, do its job, and get out before overstaying its welcome.” – Boston.com Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 2.5/4 “Stylishly choreographed combat, winking fan service, and above all, a dogged dedication to burying itself up its own ass.” – Boston.com Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 2/4 “With a heavier focus on personal tragedy and a plot that largely spins its wheels, “Twisters” only has one thing going for it: Glen Powell, Grade-A movie star.” – Boston.com Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 2.5/4 “Ultimately, “Inside Out 2” doesn’t quite capture the magic of the original, but it’s still an enjoyable 90 minutes at the movies.” – Boston.com Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 4/4 “Miller masterfully weaves the breathtaking action sequences he is known for into a compelling origin story that both enhances “Fury Road” on repeat viewings and stands on its own.” – Boston.com May 24, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% 3/4 “In a movie landscape in which Disney is promising to limit its Marvel output and studios are scrambling to figure out what’s next, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” offers one possible blueprint.” – Boston.com May 10, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% 3/4 “Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor grunt, groan, and scream their way through one of the most over-the-top, deliriously entertaining movies of the year.” – Boston.com Apr 25, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 3.5/4 ““Dune: Part Two” not only does justice to Herbert’s groundbreaking novel, it eclipses 2021’s “Dune” both in scale and ambition.” – Boston.com Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% 0.5/4 “I saw more than 100 new movies in 2023. Not one of them was as ill-conceived or as stunningly awful as “Argylle.”” – Boston.com Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Deep Water (2022) 35% 2.5/4 ““Deep Water” can be a bit shallow and silly at times. But the basic thrills and surprising laughs it provides are more than enough to make for an entertaining evening.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review The Gray Man (2022) 45% 2/4 “Given Netflix’s expenditures and the star pedigree on screen, audiences deserve — and should expect — more.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Me Time (2022) 7% 1/4 “Instead of putting time and effort into crafting a competent script, it feels like Netflix simply fed Hart and Wahlberg into its famed content recommendation algorithm and released whatever came out.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 65% 3/4 “While there are plenty of fan service nods to its 1993 predecessor, “Hocus Pocus 2” stands capably on its own, offering a spooky diversion for a whole new generation of viewers.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% 3.5/4 ““Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is a powerful treatise on grieving, and how that process can seep into every thought and action, even subconsciously.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Air (2023) 93% 3/4 “The goal of “Air” is to provide audiences an enjoyable two hours watching Damon, Affleck, and co. crack wise on screen while telling a feel-good story. By that metric, “Air” is a slam dunk.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Ghosted (2023) 25% 1.5/4 “Like most contemporary blockbusters, Fletcher and co. plant the seeds for a potential sequel if the movie turns out to be a hit for Apple 온라인카지노추천+. But I doubt too many people would be upset if we never heard from “Ghosted” again.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review The Flash (2023) 63% 3/4 “Setting aside the actor’s numerous legal issues, Miller turns in a masterful pair of performances.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Spirited (2022) 70% 2.5/4 “Given its 127-minute runtime, “Spirited” could have been even better if director Sean Anders had trimmed some of the self-referential humor and fully embraced the holiday spirit. ” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% 3.5/4 ““Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” is more of a madcap film than “Knives Out,” piling on the absurdity from the opening credits. And just like the 2019 version, the cast is its biggest strength.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022) 43% 2/4 “You get the sense that someone handed screenwriter Anthony McCarten (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) a studio note that simply read, “Play the hits.”” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review 80 for Brady (2023) 59% 2/4 “The film is full of sitcom-level jokes, Screenwriting 101 plotting, and cameos from former Patriots stars that play out exactly as expected.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Boston Strangler (2023) 67% 3.5/4 “At a time when seemingly every streaming service debuts new true-crime programming on a weekly basis, “Boston Strangler” stands far above the crowd.” – Boston.com Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% 3.5/4 “The movie is an incredible achievement, and might be one of the most thorough, ambitious historical dramas ever put to film.” – Boston.com Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 3/4 “Barbie is one of the most subversive, unexpected summer blockbusters in recent memory.” – Boston.com Jul 21, 2023 Full Review
