The Amateur (2025) 62% EDIT “The Amateur has ample talent and budget to be a decent movie if it had at any point decided to be anything but exactly what it is. ” – Pajiba Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% EDIT “It’s not as clever as it thinks it is. It’s less dark and more exhaustingly depressing than anything. And it certainly doesn’t succeed as a comedy.” – Pajiba Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% EDIT “It builds on what worked in the first film, and firmly establishes that it has been constructed out of not only an affection for the source material, but also a profound understanding of the tragedy at the heart of Herbert’s work. ” – Pajiba Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Deliver Us From Evil (2014) 29% EDIT “Deliver us from Evil is quite a good horror movie, though it falls short of anything like greatness. It has a fantastic cast anchored by the aforementioned Bana and Joel McHale, and features some truly grotesque imagery and tense situations. ” – Pajiba Oct 18, 2023 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% EDIT “Don't get me wrong: if you loved The Matrix, you should absolutely see this. But ultimately the movie ends in no different a place than the first movie did 20 years ago.” – Pajiba Dec 30, 2021 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% EDIT “It's masterful in visuals, in acting, in building a world that I want to see a dozen more hours of on my screen. But the irony is that as good as it is, it's doomed by the fundamental unfilmablity of the novel.” – Pajiba Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Needle in a Timestack (2021) 38% EDIT “Save your money, and watch something intelligent and rational like Bill and Ted.” – Pajiba Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Survive the Game (2021) 25% EDIT “I am trying to convey that I think this movie was literally shot by high school kids over a couple weeks of summer vacation on their phones. With none of the charm and joy that implies.” – Pajiba Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Copshop (2021) 83% EDIT “Copshop is a fantastic, entertaining-as-hell action movie. Definitely watch it if you can.” – Pajiba Oct 12, 2021 Full Review America: The Motion Picture (2021) 34% EDIT “America: The Motion Picture is the worst movie I've watched this year.” – Pajiba Jul 7, 2021 Full Review The Tomorrow War (2021) 51% EDIT “That odd obsessive harping on its own inconsistencies convinces me that at some point in the process this script was way better than what actually made it onto the screen.” – Pajiba Jul 7, 2021 Full Review Oxygen (2021) 90% EDIT “It's a film that succeeds at being more than the sum of its parts by intertwining a story of life finding a way with whispers of a ship of Theseus.” – Pajiba May 29, 2021 Full Review Stowaway (2021) 75% EDIT “I mean was Jigsaw running Mission Control?” – Pajiba Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Cosmic Sin (2021) 6% EDIT “I honestly urge you to light six dollars on fire rather than spend it on streaming this movie.” – Pajiba Mar 16, 2021 Full Review Outside the Wire (2021) 37% EDIT “As an actual professor of Eastern European politics, I literally have no idea what parts of the movie are honest ignorance versus ironic ignorance.” – Pajiba Jan 29, 2021 Full Review Useless Humans (2020) 40% EDIT “It feels less like a small independent movie and more like something cobbled together at the last minute for a student film project.” – Pajiba Jul 18, 2020 Full Review Freaks (2018) 88% EDIT “Freaks, as I've told you repeatedly, is a very good sci-fi movie.” – Pajiba Apr 5, 2020 Full Review Dolittle (2020) 15% EDIT “This movie is an abominable black hole of creativity and talent that should never have been made.” – Pajiba Jan 20, 2020 Full Review Underwater (2020) 48% EDIT “Next time I hope Cthulhu wins.” – Pajiba Jan 14, 2020 Full Review The Current War: Director's Cut (2019) 61% EDIT “The movie has no idea what it wants to be.” – Pajiba Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% EDIT “Just go rewatch the Coors Light twins commercial if you need a clone fix. It has more depth and pathos than this mess.” – Pajiba Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% EDIT “The movie continues the show's inexplicable ability to be charmingly idiotically entertaining despite the writing, the plot, the setting, the anachronisms, and literally everything about it except for the acting.” – Pajiba Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Stuber (2019) 43% EDIT “Stuber is a stubendously stubid movie.” – Pajiba Jul 13, 2019 Full Review Annabelle Comes Home (2019) 64% EDIT “Characters who don't make choices, who don't evolve over the course of a story, are just background props. They might as well just be dolls in glass cases.” – Pajiba Jun 30, 2019 Full Review The Prodigy (2019) 43% EDIT “I'm not sure how 90 minutes can seem like six hours, but this film accomplished that feat” – Pajiba Feb 12, 2019 Full Review
