Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) 60% C+ EDIT “To play any icon is like walking a tightrope above a rapaciously protective fanbase, but Malek embodies the man and the mystery he both detested and promoted.” – The MacGuffin Nov 13, 2018 Full Review The Old Man & the Gun (2018) 93% A- EDIT “For the old man, he can't help but catch one more wave.” – The MacGuffin Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Juliet, Naked (2018) 82% B EDIT “A growing correspondence worthy of The Shop around the Corner in its moments of twee sentimentality, mulling over the awkwardness of the forty-something years when the decisions of youth show their exponential repercussions.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Blaze (2018) 95% B+ EDIT “[The] titular character was anything but a rhinestone cowboy: a poet as hypersensitive to the sparks of life emanating from the trees and campfires and pool halls he haunted as to the distractions of regret, lust, or self-doubt.” – The MacGuffin Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Mile 22 (2018) 23% C- EDIT “The essence of the film: a prolonged denial of well-deserved cake after teasing with a few delicious crumbs.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Aug 21, 2018 Full Review The Meg (2018) 47% C- EDIT “Just keep swimming towards whatever is playing in the theater next door.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) 80% B EDIT “Many of the beats are the same as in the original, only reframed through the lens of hindsight. Yet, this film is so unapologetic in its delight of the overheated ballad or disco beat that it is impossible not to understand the poignancy of the lyrics.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% A EDIT “This is not a coming-of-age film about a girl finding her voice, but rather realizing its worth, regardless of the approval of others.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Leave No Trace (2018) 100% A- EDIT “Both Foster and McKenzie display a profound respect for their characters and the journey towards peace that doesn't always keep them at the same pace.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% A EDIT “Over and over, Tom Cruise tells the screen, "I won't let you down," and he never does, because we believe in him to deliver the goods.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) 47% EDIT “Unfortunately, what the movie is trying to say about the inherent destructiveness of exploiting these creatures as commodities is overshadowed by the glaring aspects of the film's own commercialization. Postmodern, indeed.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Skyscraper (2018) 48% D EDIT “For Sarah, Will, and his leg sidekick, the maze of characters they must navigate is the tedious space between crazy scenes where anything, anything, anything can be saved with duct tape.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Tag (2018) 55% C+ EDIT “It helps to have a youthful zeal for the chase and maintaining friendships despite the baggage of adulthood and the reality of criminal trespassing and potential life-threatening injury.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jun 15, 2018 Full Review First Reformed (2017) 94% A- EDIT “What Schrader does best is show his characters inching forward through their flaws and transgressions.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jun 11, 2018 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% A EDIT “Hereditary commands you to lean in, watch closely, don't forget the corners and the background, even though you know the monsters are there.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jun 11, 2018 Full Review Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 97% A EDIT “Neville retains this respect for the capabilities and intuition of children by highlighting the progressiveness of the show through the decades.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% B- EDIT “There are times when Solo: A Star Wars Story gets it right, and all the measures of Cool that generations have adored and emulated positively glow on the big screen with an eye twinkle and naughty grin.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) May 22, 2018 Full Review Life of the Party (2018) 38% C+ EDIT “Its best moments are when McCarthy's innate charm, underappreciated prowess with physical comedy, and naughty-nice magnetism are put on bubbly display as her character makes up for lost time and missed opportunities.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) May 18, 2018 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% B+ EDIT “Tully... [is the director duo's] most grounded and visceral work yet.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) May 9, 2018 Full Review Unsane (2018) 80% B EDIT “At times the film is a darkly comedic glimpse into the treatment of the mentally ill, including Juno Temple as Sawyer's vicious and crude bunkmate, Violet, and Jay Pharaoh as Nate, the only patient sympathetic to her argument.” – The MacGuffin Apr 27, 2018 Full Review I Feel Pretty (2018) 35% C+ EDIT “The strong notion of the beauty industry reimagining what it sees and promotes as beautiful is weakly executed, and we aren't left with a solid resolution that things will get much better.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Super Troopers 2 (2018) 35% C+ EDIT “For fans of the 2001 original, it's great to watch the rebels back in action where the world is their stage and the invisible roar of the crowd drives them on to keep performing their clown act until they die.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Apr 26, 2018 Full Review A Quiet Place (2018) 96% A EDIT “A Quiet Place is almost wordless, yet accomplishes what only the best horror films can achieve.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Apr 11, 2018 Full Review Thoroughbreds (2017) 87% B+ EDIT “Composer Erik Friedlander's sumptuous, percussion-and-cello score...either tumbles through the slick interior walls like fog or crackles through the air like static on a cold day.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Mar 30, 2018 Full Review Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) 42% C- EDIT “Under the direction of Steven S. DeKnight, the excitement of the scant battle scenes in the first half is quickly vaporized by extended sequences of inefficiency: in the laboratory, in the training room, in the testing facilities.” – The Monitor (McAllen, TX) Mar 27, 2018 Full Review
