2.5/4
“Foy does well in the role (following Rooney Mara in the 2011 version and Noomi Rapace in an earlier Swedish-language adaptation), and the overall product isn't bad.” –

Venom (2018)

2/4
“After taking their not-so-sweet time getting to the action, director Ruben Fletcher and his screenwriters rush from scene to scene in implausible fashion.” –

Fahrenheit 11/9 (2018)

2.5/4
“It has become cliche to call Trumpism a new brand of fascism. Still, Fahrenheit 11/9 is a potentially instructive piece of filmmaking... And because he's good at his craft, Moore's argument is persuasive.” –

Good Time (2017)

3/4
“"Good Time" really isn't a good time at the movies. But it's worth watching to see a cold-eyed, street-level deconstruction of a night - and life - of crime.” –

Last Flag Flying (2017)

3/4
“Although definitely acting as a critique of America's war efforts of the past 50 years, the film never feels at all preachy, doing well not to make even a single character into a mouthpiece for any anti-war screed.” –

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
47%
2/4
“You could do a lot worse than this film for a couple hours of escapism. But with a story almost as slight as its title is long and a star outshined (just barely) by his cohort, this city may not warrant a special visit.” –

“Though the tone of "Turtle" is very adult - the younger set may squirm despite its very lean 80-minute run time - it is perfectly family friendly. It's a thing of quiet beauty that is exceptionally rare in the world of animation.” –
