I loved The Substance for its audacity, confrontational nature, indelible performances and wicked sense of humor. It’s an unforgettably wild ride of excess. Recommended.

Speak No Evil is an exceptionally taut and unnerving experience. It distinguishes itself in how it subtly challenges the viewer, raising difficult questions while providing no comforting answers. …

Trap is the campiest movie Shyamalan has made to date, intentionally or otherwise. It’s beautiful to look at, and Josh Hartnett gives it his all, but the results are neither suspenseful or thrilli…

Despicable Me 4 is intermittently entertaining, a sign that the franchise is running on fumes. That being said, bring on Minions 3. Mildly Recommended.

Twisters works because Edgar-Jones and Powell have chemistry and are easy on the eyes, the special effects are solid and the movie’s heart is in the right place. If anything, it makes me want to r…

I definitely enjoyed The Bikeriders. Like its namesake characters, it’s engaging, funny, eccentric, revealing and unexpected. Recommended.

The Watchers is a movie with silly, fantastical underpinnings that refuses to treat them accordingly. It’s a wet blanket of a movie that refuses to be fun. Not Recommended.

The Garfield Movie is amusing and good-natured, a decent choice for small children. It includes a smattering of things for adults to chuckle at, which certainly helps. Mildly Recommended.

The Beekeeper is a thoroughly entertaining mix of sincerity, violence and silliness, with Statham affirming once again that he is the last bona fide action movie hero standing. Recommended.
