Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) 91% “As an adaptation of the source material, I think it’s probably not too grand to say that it works perfectly.” – Slate Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 96% ““Maverick,” with its ridiculous fake adversary, its claims of overwhelming military victories during peacetime, and its ludicrous secrecy, has none of this. It’s a copy of a copy; a blurry Xerox of a historic hero. ” – NBC News THINK Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Deep Water (2022) 35% “Deep Water explores its two magnetic lead characters, played by Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck, in ways that more expensive entertainment has mostly stopped attempting.” – NBC News THINK Mar 21, 2022 Full Review Death on the Nile (2022) 62% “Branagh the actor still understands what makes his characters tick. Even loaded down with its huge terrarium of a drawing room and its silly plot holes and overwrought gunplay, this Karnak still has a working engine. ” – NBC News THINK Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Cyrano (2021) 85% “The film feels like a labor of love. Specifically, it seems to be the love of Dinklage's wife, playwright and director Erica Schmidt, who wrote the screenplay from her own musical adaptation staged several years ago.” – NBC News THINK Feb 1, 2022 Full Review The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) 93% “The highest compliment I can pay The Tragedy of Macbeth is that I understood one of my favorite plays better after having seen it.” – NBC News THINK Dec 27, 2021 Full Review A Quiet Place Part II (2021) 91% “Krasinski's film is an adventure movie, a grisly family film, a thriller and a domestic drama, all without breaking a sweat. The characters will stay with you and the themes will resonate, but you'll also be glad you went back to the movies” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) 25% “Somehow, Space Jam: A New Legacy manages to both promote and insult great movies and cartoons by trying to make them part of a crummy, halfhearted promotional multiverse based on the Warner Bros. Entertainment organization chart.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) 35% “It's a little silly, but it's also very entertaining. Our hero is, more or less, the bad guy, and the question of when he's going to finally do the right thing provides an interesting tension throughout the film.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review America: The Motion Picture (2021) 34% “It's not bad in the sense that its humor is nasty, or even that the jokes are overly gross -- it's bad because you get the sense that it sort of hates its ideal viewer.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Mortal Kombat (2021) 55% “The jokes are dumb and unfunny and the characters are barely there -- which is all sort of to be expected in a video game movie, though it would be nice to see one that tries a bit harder.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Pray Away (2020) 92% “Stolakis' filmmaking is a little generic, but she is so deeply literate on conversion or "reparative" therapy ministries for LGBTQ Christians that... she still manages to pull together a devastating narrative arc.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Luca (2021) 91% “There's something nicely old-fashioned about a children's movie that spends its time finding the borders and depths of a realistic setting instead of a fanciful one.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review The Card Counter (2020) 88% “Schrader specializes in protagonists who seem mere moments away from exploding, occasionally literally, and in Isaac, he has an actor of near-total self-awareness and charisma, making us worry harder than usual.” – NBC News THINK Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Bad Trip (2021) 80% “Most of the time, Bad Trip delights in capturing the shock people show when they're faced with something truly surreal, dangerous or gross. It's all there, in less than 90 minutes, the whole awful human experience.” – NBC News THINK Nov 22, 2021 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% “It's a sci-fi movie on a big-ticket blockbuster scale akin to the lengthy two-part finale of Marvel's Avengers movies, but here Villeneuve manages to make something that is grand in terms other than sheer length and plot complication.” – NBC News THINK Nov 22, 2021 Full Review Army Of The Dead (2021) 67% “The film has the odd distinction of being a zombie movie that isn't particularly scary, and Snyder's best efforts to convince us we're having a good time rarely manage to do so.” – NBC News THINK May 24, 2021 Full Review Kajillionaire (2020) 90% “A heist film - and an absolutely savage one - but less about receipt fraud and more about how, in their declining years, the Me Generation simply won't go away without taking everything they can carry with them.” – NBC News THINK Sep 25, 2020 Full Review
