“...even the most cynical of critics who place a premium on story, character and emotion (me), won’t be able to contain their ear-to-ear smile when watching some of the gonzo and exaggerated insanity that Evans pulls off.” –

“..."A Minecraft Movie” is a profoundly empty, deeply dire experience, a hot trash pile of video game memes turned to life in hopes of exploiting popular I.P. and turning a buck.” –

“...“The Amateur” might feel a little silly in places...Yet, as unlikely much of it is, one’s suspension of disbelief isn’t as challenged as much as initially suspected thanks to the cast, the taut direction and crisp editing.” –

“...“The Electric State” is relatively harmlessly boring at first, disposable and languid, but as it goes on, its constant failure at being funny, despite many attempts, does become rather grating.” –

“White interjecting its social commentary, “Snow White” otherwise tackles much of the same ideas, but it’s all put together in a very familiar and garish package. The fairest in the land? Far from it.” –

““The Gorge” mostly turns into a high-concept action film that’s so dull, predictable and ugly to look at it’s extremely easy to tune out and have your mind go on autopilot while the otherwise charismatic Teller and Taylor-Jones are wasted. ” –
