John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% 4/5 “The most emotional Wick film is to be commended for nailing a tone that has gravity without losing sight of the fact that this has all been for fun.” – Parade Magazine Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Scream VI (2023) 77% 4/5 “[The Core Four] are the heart and lungs of a surprisingly tender slasher franchise that just won't quit.” – Parade Magazine Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) 76% 5/5 “A pandemic didn't help, but the cold hard truth is that Top Gun aside, blockbusters this year have been underwhelming and anemic. The Way of Water delivers excitement audiences have been starved for, and then some.” – Parade Magazine Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 96% 3.5/5 “Real-world fascism and dark fantasy melded better in more grounded Del Toro masterworks, but there's a kitchen-sink approach with themes and presentation here that will, understandably, leave some viewers cold. ” – Parade Magazine Dec 10, 2022 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% 5/5 “Deeply personal in its feelings, but also thunderously cinematic, The Fabelmans could pair with Martin Scorsese's Hugo for a double bill from heaven. ” – Parade Magazine Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Halloween Ends (2022) 40% 3.5/5 “Not all of it works, but it is satisfying. The scariness and kills are treated with a stone-faced respect they didn't get in the snarky 2018 film.” – Parade Magazine Oct 15, 2022 Full Review Hustle (2022) 94% 4.5/5 “With a quiet determination and subtle, deeper humor than you might expect, Sandler plays maybe his most sympathetic character ever, a 180 from his (lamentably Oscar-snubbed) titanic turn as the angel of death in Uncut Gems. ” – Parade Magazine Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 96% 5/5 “Top Gun: Maverick is the perfect American blockbuster. It plays like as much a legacy sequel to the 1986 film as to 40 years of Tom Cruise movies, with the best of what we’ve come to expect from Hollywood’s most consistent star accounted for. ” – Parade Magazine Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 74% 2/5 “'Oz the Great and Powerful' had more personality. ” – Parade Magazine May 6, 2022 Full Review X (2022) 94% 5/5 “It's a love letter to the best of horror, and further, freedom of expression. There are moments of surprising, haunting beauty that add nothing to the plot, but everything to the experience. With X, West can be compared to Craven or even Carpenter.” – Parade Magazine Apr 1, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% 4.5/5 “The Batman is more Blade Runner than Batman Begins, but this is damn good, consistently surprising filmmaking, and it all works.” – Parade Magazine Mar 7, 2022 Full Review Marry Me (2022) 61% 3.5/5 “Lopez is perfect, and Wilson is in full command of the boyish allure that's made him a star for decades. Their chemistry is understated, even better than expected. Sure, it all feels very 2006, but in a way that's not so much dated as refreshing, retro. ” – Parade Magazine Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% 2.5/5 “Designed above all else to make an audience cheer with excitement. But is there much more than that? If there's one film that aligns with the controversial auteur assessment that superhero films are more amusement park ride than cinema, it's this.” – Parade Magazine Jan 24, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) 76% 4/5 “What's always set the Scream series apart from other slashers is the writing. 2022's Scream has a clever, quotable screenplay that evokes Williamson's wit but can't quite match his Scream scripts for invention.” – Parade Magazine Jan 16, 2022 Full Review Mass (2021) 95% “An unforgettable, searing film about grace and forgiveness in the most hopeless of circumstances, Mass is the kind of movie we need always.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Spencer (2021) 83% “Pablo Larraín's masterful Spencer is one of the most assured, idiosyncratic and wholly satisfying biopics in memory.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Drive My Car (2021) 97% “A dark horse Best Picture contender and a lock for a Best Foreign Film nod, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's intimate epic drama...” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) 99% “Questlove's jaw-dropping music film is an early frontrunner for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review In the Heights (2021) 94% “Semi-autobiographical tale of big dreams romance in Washington Heights puts all-singing all-dancing phenom Anthony Ramos front-and-center.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Licorice Pizza (2021) 90% “Some debatably queasy elements aside, Paul Thomas Anderson's romantic bildungsroman is euphoric, an instant classic.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Benedetta (2021) 84% “Incomparable exploitation savant Paul Verhoeven-who's clearly the master of whatever we call the place where highbow meets lowbrow-fires on all cylinders.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Flee (2021) 98% “The year's greatest animated film is also one of the year's best docs.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% “Leave it to Guillermo del Toro to craft the most bloody brilliant pure film noir in ages.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Belfast (2021) 86% “Finally free of laughable Fifty Shades scripts, Jamie Dornan had a great year, flexing considerable acting chops here...” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021) 88% “All we can say is wow. This is one of 2021's most staggering movie surprises, from any genre.” – Parade Magazine Jan 4, 2022 Full Review
