Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 2.5 “For the first time since “Endgame,” Marvel has given us a movie that truly feels like it lives up to the “Avengers” tradition.” – Times-Picayune Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 3.4/4 “Built upon a nonlinear storyline and benefiting from beautiful cinematography steeped in a visual dreaminess suggestive of a hazy memory — though one repressed, not forgotten — (it) is a riveting and unforgettable tale of the Jim Crow South.” – Times-Picayune Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Carry-On (2024) 88% 2.5/4 “With Taron Edgerton as our hero, Jason Bateman as our villain and New Orleans’ old, decommissioned MSY convincingly doubling as LAX, its solid pacing and suspenseful story make for an enjoyable if brainless genre romp.” – Times-Picayune Jan 6, 2025 Full Review The Wacky World of Dr. Morgus (1961) 2.5/4 “Whatever else it is, it is a fascinating (and groundbreaking) bit of local movie history and an unassailable New Orleans cinematic classic.” – Times-Picayune Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Will & Harper (2024) 99% 3/4 “Will & Harper boasts authenticity where it matters most. It also boasts acceptance, love and generosity of spirit, all enhanced by a pervasive sense of good humor.” – Times-Picayune Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Rebel Ridge (2024) 95% 3/4 “What Rebel Ridge lacks in originality and subtlety, it more than makes up for in pull-no-punches, no-nonsense intensity.” – Times-Picayune Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Slingshot (2024) 38% 2.5/4 “In the context of COVID, Slingshot ... transform(s) from what would have been a decent but derivative sci-fi thinker into a stirring ode to the vital importance of others.” – Times-Picayune Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% 2.5/4 “There’s not much to its predictable central mystery, but its strong cast and its sense of humor helps director Thea Sharrock’s film become an enjoyable diversion.” – Times-Picayune Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Obsession (1976) 77% 2.5/4 “One could fairly question the casting of the stiff Cliff Robertson in the lead role, but it has its merits, including its dreamy cinematography, its sense of style and a storyline designed to shock.” – Times-Picayune Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Charade (1963) 94% 3/4 “(In addition to starring) the perfectly paired Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn — who seems to know precisely how adorable she is in this particular role — ... it’s got a fast-moving, twist-filled plot, too. The result is a funny and stylish old-school romp.” – Times-Picayune Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Daughters (2024) 100% 4/4 “At once beautiful and heartbreaking ... (it is) not only an intensely personal examination of the generational damage of longtime incarceration but also an affecting ode to the power of women in general and daughters in particular. ” – Times-Picayune Aug 14, 2024 Full Review The Instigators (2024) 41% 2.5/4 “A just-for-fun, old-school lark buoyed by screwball tendencies, it can’t be expected to win any major awards. But if, on the other hand, you’re looking for an excuse to spend a couple of enjoyable if forgettable hours in the AC, you could do far worse.” – Times-Picayune Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Kneecap (2024) 96% 3.5/4 “It’s a gritty and mischievous form of triumph, mind you, cheekily intermingling sex, drugs and defiant anti-British sentiment. Still, it’s triumphant nonetheless, and in the most unlikely yet embraceable way.” – Times-Picayune Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% 2.5/4 “It succeeds more as a nostalgia play than as one more failed effort to recapture lightning in a bottle — but that might’ve been the smartest move here.” – Times-Picayune Jul 8, 2024 Full Review The Exorcism (2024) 27% 2/4 “A handsomely shot but entirely humorless film haunted by a disjointed narrative, a raft of unexplained questions and a cast of largely unsympathetic characters.” – Times-Picayune Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Gasoline Rainbow (2023) 93% 4/4 “Whatever you want to call such a creation, in the Ross’ hands it boils down to irresistible storytelling, built around authentic, universal emotions that are in this case enhanced by a youthful sense of adventure and an undercurrent of vague yearning.” – Times-Picayune Jun 2, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% 3/4 “Funny, thoughtful and fueled by scenes of extended but smartly written dialogue — and with a star-making turn from actor and co-writer Glen Powell thrown in for good measure — Hit Man ... (is) a satisfyingly low-key gem.” – Times-Picayune May 28, 2024 Full Review My Name Is Nobody (1973) 100% 3/4 “Overall, “Nobody” fits neatly into the spaghetti Western tradition, featuring grit, grime, quick zooms and quicker guns. ... In the process, it becomes an intriguingly meta analysis not just of the old West but of cinema’s Western tradition.” – Times-Picayune May 1, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% 3.5/4 “ Set squarely at the intersection of rivalry and desire, it benefits from a trio of wonderful performances as well as a clever script that ... helps it become an unexpectedly engaging breath of cinematic fresh air.” – Times-Picayune Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 72% 3/4 “While the amount of flung feces and sasquatch sex might not appeal to moviegoers with a taste for more highbrow humor, there’s a surprisingly sweet embraceability to <i>Sasquatch Sunset</i> — and just enough of a message to go along with it.” – Times-Picayune Apr 16, 2024 Full Review One Life (2023) 90% 3/4 “A story in the key of Schindler’s List, it is built on a foundation of real-life horror ... but is ultimately uplifted by hope and humanity. By the time it’s done, you can expect (it) to pack an emotional wallop, and in the most life-affirming sense.” – Times-Picayune Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% 2/4 “A subversive feminist fable built on camp, angst and an admittedly memorable castration scene – but nothing resembling nuance or cleverness. ” – Times-Picayune Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Orion and the Dark (2024) 92% 3/4 “Between the grown-up chuckles, (it) becomes what might be the deepest, most existentially minded major studio toon you’re likely to see in some time.” – Times-Picayune Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 4/4 “Armed with a strong vision, a great ensemble cast and a compelling story, 81-year-old Martin Scorsese does in his “Flower Moon” what he can be counted on to always do: deliver one of the most well-told stories of the year.” – Times-Picayune Jan 15, 2024 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% 4/4 “Striking a disarming balance between heartbreaking and hilarious, and with the brilliant Paul Giamatti heading up a wonderful cast, director Alexander Payne’s 1970s-set story ... is a rarity: an instant holiday classic for grown-ups.” – Times-Picayune Jan 15, 2024 Full Review
