Borderlands (2024) 10% EDIT “Right as Hollywood has started to learn how to successfully adapt games for the screen, Borderlands arrives as a reminder of how not to do it.” – TIME Magazine Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024) 27% 3/10 EDIT “Harold and the Purple Crayon is only a film about creativity, not a creative film. Try as he might, Harold can’t draw himself the special something this story needs.” – IGN Movies Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% EDIT “It’s not just a fitting sequel; it’s one of the studio’s best films in years.” – The Daily Beast Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 94% EDIT “Grand Theft Hamlet captures this wacky and surprisingly moving affair with dry British wit, vulnerable introspection, and a lot of failed attempts at rehearsing a classic play in a video game where the goal is to gun down everyone around you.” – The Daily Beast Mar 13, 2024 Full Review MoviePass, MovieCrash (2024) 88% EDIT “What initially appears to be a more straightforward recounting of the once-promising subscription service’s catastrophic demise soon gives way to a deeper, smarter, much more rousing (and infuriating) story.” – The Daily Beast Mar 12, 2024 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 94% EDIT “It’s a film that could easily veer into manipulative territory in lesser hands, but Hausmann Stokes transforms this personal and devastating story into something deeper, sweeter, and funnier than it may initially seem.” – The Daily Beast Mar 11, 2024 Full Review The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem (2024) 94% EDIT “Tracking the explosive rise of 4chan, the film spotlights the best-known example of an internet forum bleeding out beyond its own bounds and into real life.” – The Daily Beast Mar 11, 2024 Full Review TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023) 98% EDIT “For the rest of us medium-likers that are nonetheless bummed to have missed one of the concert events of the decade, I’d argue that The Eras Tour film is a more-than-ideal experience.” – The Daily Beast Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Waitress: The Musical (2023) 100% EDIT “But even if the musical’s attempt to give back to the medium that birthed the source material is uneven, it accomplishes its main important goal: It will help more people see this wonderful piece of musical theater.” – The Daily Beast Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Elemental (2023) 73% EDIT “Although it doesn’t come close to reaching Nemo’s heights (very few films, animated or otherwise, can), Elemental neither needs nor tries to, mostly to its own benefit.” – The Daily Beast Jun 15, 2023 Full Review The Flash (2023) 63% EDIT “To offer the film any kind of praise is an uneasy task, because its star is one of the most controversial Hollywood figures in recent memory. ” – The Daily Beast Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Past Lives (2023) 95% EDIT “There is destiny, and then there is inyeon (or in-yeon). It’s one of those beautiful non-English words that hardly translates from its native language. But after watching Past Lives, you’ll never forget the meaning of it.” – The Daily Beast Jun 2, 2023 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) 59% EDIT “Nintendo’s biggest franchise is most beloved not for its voice acting or story, but for its spirit: a joyful sense of wonder, fun, and imaginative possibility. And that’s what The Super Mario Bros. Movie captures with aplomb.” – The Daily Beast Apr 4, 2023 Full Review Tetris (2023) 81% EDIT “Director Jon S. Baird’s take on the real story of how Tetris became the biggest game ever is political in the most vapid way.” – The Daily Beast Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Peak Season (2023) 96% EDIT “Between the gorgeously considered shots of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Peak Season takes place, and the small details defining each character, the film is a breath of fresh, high-altitude air.” – The Daily Beast Mar 17, 2023 Full Review BlackBerry (2023) 97% EDIT “BlackBerry is as much about self-immolation as it is deterioration of relationships at the hands of hubris—and it’s that dramatic, tragic balance that makes it more interesting than simply another entry in the growing tech company biopic genre.” – The Daily Beast Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Down Low (2023) 71% EDIT “This is not a film devoid of laughs, but it is also chock full of tastelessness—whether or not you are a prude, by whom Down Low is decidedly not meant to be seen.” – The Daily Beast Mar 12, 2023 Full Review Olive, the Other Reindeer (1999) 60% EDIT “There’s great music, including a song from Blitzen’s cousin Schntizel, voiced by R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe; wonderfully storybook-ish animation; and smart, wry humor, making Olive more of a silly wintertime adventure than a saccharine holiday movie.” – The Daily Beast Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% EDIT “The movie allows for a surprisingly impactful reappraisal of a long-held Spidey franchise consensus.” – Slate Dec 29, 2021 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% EDIT “Venus and Serena Williams are the names we rightly remember, but King Richard remains fixated on the male bravado that pushed for them to get their names out there in the first place.” – Slate Nov 20, 2021 Full Review Black Is King (2020) 94% EDIT “Everything about Black Is King is enviable. It's not just a high-quality production. It's a multicultural masterpiece sorely needed in a world where we are striving to be less monocultural.” – Vox Aug 4, 2020 Full Review Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2018) 84% EDIT “It's not just the absurd action that's so lovable, but also creator Akira Toriyama's trademark sense of self-aware silliness that ensures we don't forget this threadbare premise.” – Polygon Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! (2017) 33% EDIT “The Pokmon anime has hardly adhered to the rules of the original games. But Pokmon: I Choose You! goes a step further, ending with a moment so bizarre that my entire theater howled in disbelief.” – Polygon Nov 14, 2017 Full Review Pee-wee's Big Holiday (2016) 85% EDIT “Sometimes seeing that something or someone you loved as a kid has stayed the same after all these years is comforting. But this film wears out its welcome fast.” – Polygon Jun 28, 2017 Full Review Passengers (2016) 30% EDIT “Passengers is not technically a horror film, but that's the mode in which it would work best. Instead, it's a predictable space-saving drama, one whose big twist is both not so big at all and its ultimate undoing.” – Polygon Jun 2, 2017 Full Review
