The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3/4 “"The Wedding Banquet" has more than its share of unlikely moments, but these are mitigated by Ang Lee's compassionate screenplay and directorial grace.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% B+ “..."Do the Right Thing" does more to tap the collective experience of black America than any documentary or movie I've ever seen. It's an impressive look at the "Other America,"...” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% 2.5/4 “Hollywood, as usual, has thrown another brainless and convoluted movie our way under the rubric of "summer blockbuster" (thinking optional, but never required). ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 15, 2023 Full Review The Watermelon Woman (1996) 92% 3/4 “The Watermelon Woman has a washed-out and, yes, underlit quality that is both charming and a bold pitch for more cinematic authenticity in a business overrun by slick sequelitis and dumb mass-market films.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Cool as Ice (1991) 3% C- “Director David Kellogg tries hard to make a hackneyed script at least look good. One could plausibly chop the movie into pieces and produce several outstanding Vanilla Ice videos.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) 91% 3/4 “"Spider-Man: Far From Home" is a pleasant enough way to spend two hours, but it really isn't anything to get excited about. It's designed to pump the brakes after all hell broke loose in the last two Avengers movies.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% 2.5/4 “... such a disappointment, though still worth seeing.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Faster (2010) 41% 1/4 “"Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" In the case of Faster, we certainly can, Rocky, and it smells awful.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 28, 2019 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) 37% 1.5/4 “Wolverine is as visually enticing as films get, but it still feels soulless. Just like in the funny books, pyrotechnics is no substitute for a well-told yarn.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Deadpool 2 (2018) 84% 2.5/4 “Deadpool 2 feels about as fresh as an old jelly doughnut covered with fire ants. Sure, you could eat it if you were starving, but it would never occur to you to recommend ingesting a mouthful of stinging ants and crusty pastry.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 16, 2018 Full Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018) 85% 3.5/4 “This movie almost, but not quite seamlessly, brings together the disparate strands of a decade's worth of Marvel/Disney movies.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 25, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% 3.5/4 “The continent that gave birth to humanity won't look the same on the big screen ever again thanks to the introduction of Wakanda, the fictional home of the most technologically advanced people on the planet.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Justice League (2017) 39% 2.5/4 “It's not a bad movie, but it is far from super.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Thor: Ragnarok (2017) 93% 3/4 “Director Taika Waititi has a predilection for comedy that comes through in practically every scene.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 3, 2017 Full Review War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) 94% 4/4 “It forces audiences to struggle honestly with the question of what separates humans from every other species in nature and whether that difference means we're truly superior or simply the arrogant place holder for whatever comes next.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) 85% 3/4 “If ever a movie exemplified the paradox of expectation, it is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 4, 2017 Full Review Fences (2016) 92% 3.5/4 “The film is a triumph of expanded stagecraft and cinematic vision thanks to the skill and conscientiousness of director Denzel Washington.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 30, 2016 Full Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) 84% 3/4 “Rogue One is at its best when it explores the relationship between the characters at ground level. They are a scrappy lot with a lot of heart.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Doctor Strange (2016) 89% 4/4 “The undisputed stars of Doctor Strange are the kaleidoscopic special effects and glimpses of strange new realities conjured in nearly every scene.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 4, 2016 Full Review Suicide Squad (2016) 26% 2/4 “The plot is unbelievably dumb, but there are some winning performances.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Aug 5, 2016 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 92% 3/4 “Let's get down to brass tacks. Folks want to know if a movie featuring a gun-toting raccoon and a bipedal tree can possibly be any good. The short answer is -- yes!” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jun 14, 2016 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 90% 3.5/4 “X-Men: Days of Future Past is a smart, inspiring piece of filmmaking that will satisfy even the most discriminating comic book snob.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jun 13, 2016 Full Review X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) 47% 2.5/4 “X-Men Apocalypse would be considered a perfectly acceptable superhero movie if far more satisfying movies in the genre didn't already exist.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 26, 2016 Full Review Captain America: Civil War (2016) 90% 3.5/4 “Captain America: Civil War, the third and perhaps final installment of the Captain America movie franchise is the kind of smart, emotionally resonant and visually exhilarating movie fans of the genre have been waiting for.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 6, 2016 Full Review Timbuktu (2014) 98% 3.5/4 “The first thing a viewer notices about Malian filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako's Timbuktu... is how beautiful it is, given its grim subject matter -- the occupation of the ancient West African region on the edge of the Sahara by jihadis.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 30, 2015 Full Review
