Cheech & Chong's Last Movie (2024) 83% “The director of “Last Movie,” David L. Bushell, is working with the usual stuff of documentaries -- news clippings, archival footage, talking heads -- but has put a fresh and funky spin on these.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% “It may not rise to the level of “Garbo Laughs,” but “Affleck Dances” makes for an enticing reason to see The Accountant 2.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% “The film strings together wacky episodes that give the animators lots of space in which to exercise their whimsy. Yet instead of building on one another, the situations are simply dealt to the characters like cards.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 74% “What started out as something that promised to be akin to a droll, twisted Coen Brothers comedy instead wanders off into reverie... Mr. Cronenberg may not care about closure, but a movie can benefit greatly from it.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% “Though the movie’s structure is basically that of The Fugitive, Mr. Malek is incapable of providing the audience with an emotional hook. His screenwriters are equally lacking in core competence. ” – Wall Street Journal Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% “It’s understandable that war causes filmmakers to take sides; "Warfare” is a triumphant example of how a war movie can leave you breathless with awe when it doesn’t.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 11, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% “Mr. Hess and his five screenwriters have mined childhood to craft something that’s alive with imagination. It’s not the most polished movie you’ll see this year, but it’s as cheerfully mad as a little kid’s birthday party. We could use more of that.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “Mr. Fleck and Ms. Boden fail to keep the narrative energy consistently high. Still, with its love for trashy genre conventions and its referential humor, Freaky Tales contains a bit more mojo than the average indie.” – Wall Street Journal Apr 5, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% ““A Working Man” is watchable enough, with the occasional interjection of humor, but it’s a formulaic punch-’em-up that simply jams in as many fights as it can with little effort expended on plausibility. ” – Wall Street Journal Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 53% ““What if unicorns were vicious killers?” is the kind of idea that might sound cool in certain contexts -- say, at sixth-grade recess -- but it doesn’t yield much of a movie.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Magazine Dreams (2023) 80% “A powerful inquiry into the contradictions of masculinity, the lure of fame, and the impact race has on both. Like its unhappy hero, it is humble and overwhelming at the same time.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 39% “Mr. Pileggi, who co-wrote “Goodfellas” and “Casino,” knows how to tell a thrilling crime story, but this script is merely a collection of gangster anecdotes and clichés.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% “Gloss prevails over heart in nearly every scene, and plot beats feel contrived.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) 88% “The near-dozen writers veer between ungainly slapstick, so-so meta-humor, trite cultural references, desperate puns, and occasional jarring vulgarity that can fairly be called deth-picable. ” – Wall Street Journal Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% “Mr. Koepp and Mr. Soderbergh remind us of one advantage that remains with features: the ability to bring a story to a rapid and satisfying ending. Lasting 93 minutes instead of 93 episodes, Black Bag snaps closed with a rewarding click.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% “The almost nonstop fighting and Mr. Quaid’s low-key charm are enough to make the movie a serviceable action offering. Moreover, the script, though focused on wacky spasms of violence, has a strong human element at its core.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “Even an audience expecting very little would be underwhelmed by this meandering, snowy dud, which, for all its extravagance, at a reported $120 million budget, combines insipid messaging with witless comedy and a weak plot.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% “The film is at its best in the way it keeps building the stakes of the character clash, thanks in large part to the virtuosity of the two lead actors. Mr. Lithgow is terrifically repellent as Dave.” – Wall Street Journal Mar 7, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 95% “No movie that contains [Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman] is likely to be a complete waste of time, but most of this one is as lifeless as its central character, bedeviled by banal writing from start to finish.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% “Last Breath, which runs a compact 91 minutes, doesn't feel like a finished film: The dialogue is strictly functional, and there is so little time for establishing character that none of the three principals really makes an impression. ” – Wall Street Journal Feb 28, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% “The audience had a right to expect something more than a cheap exercise in willful nauseation from someone as talented as Mr. Perkins.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Ex-Husbands (2023) 83% “It doesn’t pretend to offer solutions to the various predicaments it considers. But Mr. Pritzker has a sagacious understanding of our various stumbles and humiliations.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 96% “As it is, I kept thinking, “I guess that’s funny, in a way” rather than actually laughing at any of Mr. Rankin’s aggressively whimsical notions. The coldness of his style and the blank line readings create obstacles to laughter.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% “If “Brave New World” isn’t an event film, at least it’s competently executed, without resorting to played-out gimmickry such as skipping across the multiverse. And it gives the audience plenty of analogues for real-world problems.” – Wall Street Journal Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% “Mr. Quan and his fellow recent Academy Award honoree Ms. DeBose have no chemistry together... Mr. Eusebio, meanwhile, has no feel for how to make dialogue work, how to set up a joke, how to keep the story moving smoothly or even how to coach his actors. ” – Wall Street Journal Feb 8, 2025 Full Review
