Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) 58% “Gadot is so skilled at bringing vulnerability to her battles - whether it's a physical fight with Maxwell Lord or an internal struggle about giving up the one thing she's ever desired. She embodies a true superhero, one who is inclusive and noble.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Mar 2, 2021 Full Review I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story (2014) 84% 3/4 “Yes, there's a lot of information in "I Am Big Bird," and sometimes it is a bit self-serving. But at the heart is a love story between Spinney, that big, yellow bird and all of us.” – San Diego Union-Tribune May 15, 2015 Full Review Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) 66% 3/4 “It's aca-awesome.” – San Diego Union-Tribune May 14, 2015 Full Review Misery Loves Comedy (2015) 35% 2/4 “With so many subjects, it's obvious the director is going for quantity, but it doesn't work (especially the scenes with Matthew Perry; a funny actor is much different from a professional stand-up). The overall tone feels scattered and self-important.” – San Diego Union-Tribune May 7, 2015 Full Review Effie Gray (2014) 44% 3/4 “"Effie Gray" is a powerful look at early feminism. Instead of accepting her fate in a bad marriage like many Victorian women advised her to do, Effie fights her way out of it - scandal be damned.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Apr 2, 2015 Full Review The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) 29% 2.5/4 “Woodley tries to emote a lot with her expressive eyes, but overall the film feels cold. Schwentke struggles to decide if "Insurgent" is more action or more YA and winds up doing neither genre much justice.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Cinderella (2015) 84% 3/4 “This fairy tale adaptation is as close as you can get to a dream come true.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Mar 12, 2015 Full Review Paddington (2014) 96% 3/4 “Despite its terrible trailers, the movie is a surprising delight.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jan 16, 2015 Full Review Annie (2014) 28% 1/4 “A jumbled mess.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Dec 18, 2014 Full Review Dear White People (2014) 91% 2.5/4 “Often the characters are just standing around talking at one another. After too many scenes like this, the film begins to to feel like a collection of speeches.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Oct 24, 2014 Full Review The Book of Life (2014) 83% 3.5/4 “It captures themes about love, family, honor and friendship with a perfect dose of humor and sincerity. It's the kind of movie, like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," that you'll want to watch every year.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Oct 17, 2014 Full Review The Boxtrolls (2014) 78% 2.5/4 “Overall, the movie treats the audience intelligently. Tim Burton-loving adults and Goth-leaning teens will appreciate the film's eccentricity and darkness.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Sep 28, 2014 Full Review Love Is Strange (2014) 93% 3.5/5 “This simple joy, and the ease these two actors have around each other - is perhaps what makes director Ira Sachs' movie so heartbreaking.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Aug 28, 2014 Full Review The Giver (2014) 35% 2.5/5 “The story feels watered down and less powerful.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Aug 15, 2014 Full Review Very Good Girls (2013) 20% 2/5 “You keep wishing it were better.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Obvious Child (2014) 90% 3/5 “[Slate] shows surprising range as an actress. She's captivating whether she's telling cringe-worthy jokes on stage or weepily climbing into bed with her mother.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jun 20, 2014 Full Review 22 Jump Street (2014) 84% 2.5/5 “It's so self-aware that it goes from being clever to annoying and then, thanks to a laugh-out-loud closing credit sequence, back to brilliant.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Rio 2 (2014) 50% 2.5/5 “The plot gets clunky pretty early on.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Apr 10, 2014 Full Review Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) 90% 1/5 “There are too many complicated relationships and back stories of which to keep track.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Divergent (2014) 41% 2/5 “"Divergent's" arriving just a bit too late.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% 3/5 “There are so many in-jokes and silly cameos that it's easy to look past the fact that "Veronica Mars" feels not so much like a cinematic experience, but an extended 온라인카지노추천 show on the big screen.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Mar 13, 2014 Full Review The Wind Rises (2013) 88% 2/5 “For those who do a bit of pre-movie research, "The Wind Rises" can be a lovely, realistic tale ... Otherwise, it's just not that captivating.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Feb 21, 2014 Full Review Gloria (2013) 100% 3.5/5 “Director Sebastian Lelio paints a subtle picture of a self-assured, independent woman who is sometimes sad but is more often happy, ready to take on life's adventures.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jan 31, 2014 Full Review The Invisible Woman (2013) 76% 2/5 “The problem with "The Invisible Woman" is that it's not all that captivating or relatable.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jan 26, 2014 Full Review GBF (2013) 80% 3.5/5 “The actors are all young and mostly unknown, but they've clearly studied the genre and turn in believable performances.” – San Diego Union-Tribune Jan 24, 2014 Full Review
