The Protector (2005) 53% 2.5/4 “The Protector is all spectacle and invention. Jaa is Fred Astaire strutting atop throngs of clueless enemies with grace and vigor. The film falls short not because they story is weak, but because the story is there at all. ” – Arizona Daily Star Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Chang Can Dunk (2023) 96% 3/4 “An excellent film to set the tone for March Madness.” – ABC Tucson Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Children of the Corn (2020) 11% 1.5/4 “Just as with the characters, there is little reason for hope and nothing to do but stare blankly into the ether.” – ABC Tucson Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Linoleum (2022) 82% 3.5/4 “Director Colin West proves to be something of a sci-fi visionary, operating with the less-is-more mindset. ” – ABC Tucson Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% 2/4 “Fails to live up to the standard of his first two Ant-Man films.” – ABC Tucson Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Somebody I Used To Know (2023) 70% 3/4 “An impressive, ceaselessly entertaining movie with something to say.” – ABC Tucson Feb 9, 2023 Full Review She Is Love (2022) 32% 3/4 “A thoughtful exploration of complicated feelings.” – ABC Tucson Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Maybe I Do (2023) 31% 2/4 “This is the sort of date movie you'll only wish for if you don't want there to be a second date.” – ABC Tucson Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Alice, Darling (2022) 84% 3/4 “Kendrick leads the way on the harrowing but ultimately hopeful journey.” – ABC Tucson Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Dog Gone (2023) 43% 2.5/4 “A harder edge and tougher read on the material might have conjured more of an emotional connection.” – ABC Tucson Jan 12, 2023 Full Review White Noise (2022) 64% 3/4 “What it lacks is a cohesive story, which makes an otherwise satisfying film seem like a glass half-empty by the end. ” – ABC Tucson Dec 28, 2022 Full Review Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2022) 56% 3/4 “A step in the right direction for the flagging franchise.” – ABC Tucson Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Mickey: The Story of a Mouse (2022) 89% 3/4 “It's enough of a peek behind the curtain to intrigue, if not satisfy, your curiosity about the mouse's winding path.” – ABC Tucson Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% 2/4 “Even with a new Black Panther, Wakanda still feels lost and hollow.” – ABC Tucson Nov 11, 2022 Full Review I'm Totally Fine (2022) 67% 3.5/4 “It thrives as a cinematic simulation of the grieving process.” – ABC Tucson Nov 1, 2022 Full Review Wendell & Wild (2022) 80% 2.5/4 “Key and Peele recapture some of the magic of their sketch series, but their humor fails to connect with the movie's ever-shifting emotional core. ” – ABC Tucson Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Rosaline (2022) 75% 3/4 “Makes for a light, entertaining Hulu-and-chill evening in Verona.” – ABC Tucson Oct 12, 2022 Full Review Werewolf by Night (2022) 90% 3/4 “Director Michael Giacchino makes a stylish and confident debut, opting for black-and-white to give his film a timeless feel.” – ABC Tucson Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 65% 3/4 “Like any effective nostalgia trip, the film seizes the moment and recaptures the same wacky wavelength as the original.” – ABC Tucson Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Don't Worry Darling (2022) 38% 3/4 “I enjoyed my time with the movie — which is sumptuously shot and well acted — and would watch it again to see how my knowledge of the outcome would shape my appreciation of it. ” – ABC Tucson Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Catherine Called Birdy (2022) 89% 3/4 “As a protofeminist surrogate for Dunham, Birdy is a deep, well-developed character played with aplomb by Ramsey. ” – ABC Tucson Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Clerks III (2022) 63% 4/4 “It's the sort of movie that happens when a talented filmmaker rediscovers his old voice. ” – ABC Tucson Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Pinocchio (2022) 27% 2.5/4 “It doesn't take a Blue Fairy to look into his hollow eyes and realize that he has a long way to go before becoming a real boy.” – ABC Tucson Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Day Shift (2022) 57% 3/4 “With enough laughs and excitement to fuel your hunger, Day Shift is well worth clocking in.” – ABC Tucson Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 53% 3/4 “On this ride, you punch your ticket and the ticket punches back.” – ABC Tucson Aug 5, 2022 Full Review
