Escape From Mogadishu (2021) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “Surpassing himself with breathtaking action, bolstered by an outstanding ensemble cast, ESCAPE FROM MOGADISHU denotes a new progression in Director Ryoo Seung-wan's work, and I can't wait to see where he goes next” – TheDivaReview.com Dec 31, 2021 Full Review It: Chapter Two (2019) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “Laden with underwhelming effects, a half-baked script, and surprisingly flat performances (Save Messrs. Hader and Ransone), IT: CHAPTER 2's too-long sequel fails to deliver any of the first film's surreal, genuinely creepy, under-the-skin scares” – TheDivaReview.com Sep 15, 2019 Full Review Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, a pure blast of summer fun, is miles ahead of its disappointing predecessor. Beautiful renderings of the classic Godzilla A-team in exciting battles make one wish the filmmakers had jettisoned the lame human subplot.” – TheDivaReview.com Jun 2, 2019 Full Review Avengers: Endgame (2019) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Messrs. Downey, Evans, et al, give their all to lift up the overlong AVENGERS: ENDGAME from its sloppy script and poor pacing, to leave their fans with unforgettable memories of their fractured, flawed, courageous heroes.” – TheDivaReview.com Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% 2.5/5 EDIT “While not the worst of the MCU, CAPTAIN MARVEL is so much less than it should've been. Even Goose the Flerken can't save it from a lacking lead performance, dull action, awful VFX, and a clichéd, amateurish script.” – TheDivaReview.com Mar 9, 2019 Full Review Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2018) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “DRAGON BALL SUPER: BROLY's pulse-pounding action and slam-bang excitement allows viewers to forgive its choppy script and subpar art. Diehard fans will enjoy a reunion with their fave Saiyans and Broly's official entrée into the Dragon Ball canon.” – TheDivaReview.com Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 97% 5/5 EDIT “There's simply nothing like SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE. Dazzling and magical, it's a stunning benchmark in animated film, and becomes the new standard in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for storytelling and pure entertainment.” – TheDivaReview.com Dec 16, 2018 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “Wildly uneven, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is still very entertaining. Excellent performances by stars Lee, Hardy, Mazzello, Boynton and an Oscar nom worthy Rami Malek moors the clunky script and reminds us of the magnificence that was Freddie Mercury.” – TheDivaReview.com Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Venom (2018) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “VENOM should've been a fantastically violent exploration of id and insanity, but mostly it should've been a good time. It is none of those things. By trying to keep a foot in the kiddie camp, VENOM tries to have it all, and loses everything.” – TheDivaReview.com Oct 8, 2018 Full Review The Children Act (2017) 74% 4.5/5 EDIT “THE CHILDREN ACT is a masterful, compelling study of intricate nuances of passion and abstention; of the heartbreak of chances not taken, and kindred souls that cannot meet. Embrace this film for the joy of a perfect Emma Thompson performance.” – TheDivaReview.com Sep 21, 2018 Full Review The Spy Gone North (2018) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Once the action gets underway, THE SPY GONE NORTH moves as sleek and sharp as a shark through water, thanks to its tense thrills and excellent performances. Smart, and loaded with edge-of-your-seat suspense, it is terrific summer movie viewing.” – TheDivaReview.com Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days (2018) 44% 3/5 EDIT “ALONG WITH THE GODS: THE LAST 49 DAYS has much to thank Don Lee, Ju Ji-hoon and Kim Hyang-gi for. Throwing the movie over to their wonderful performances saved the film from being completely irredeemable, and improved it over the original.” – TheDivaReview.com Aug 9, 2018 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% 3/5 EDIT “SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY is well-rendered, fun, and exciting, hitting many of the nostalgic touchstones of those earliest films, while introducing a story all its own, and well worth your summer box-office bucks.” – TheDivaReview.com May 26, 2018 Full Review Deadpool 2 (2018) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “More disciplined than its sire, DEADPOOL 2 doesn't let up on its outrageous laughs, including clever in-jokes, meta references and over-the top action excitement; while introducing new heroes and giving the returning guard a bit more depth.” – TheDivaReview.com May 20, 2018 Full Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is nearly spread too thin by its massive amount of plot and characters. It redeems itself by being full of surprises and foreboding; focusing on the heroes' relationships and real peril in fierce, unrestrained action.” – TheDivaReview.com Apr 25, 2018 Full Review Ready Player One (2018) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Escapist fun made for mandatory repeat viewings to try to catch all the characters and icons hidden throughout. With READY PLAYER ONE, Spielberg has crafted an electronic Wonderland that is a love song to fandom and pop culture itself.” – TheDivaReview.com Mar 31, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “BLACK PANTHER is an incredible and important moment that will mean very much to very many, and is, at its core, simply a great time at the movies, with the potential to be even more in well-deserved sequels.” – TheDivaReview.com Feb 18, 2018 Full Review 1987: When the Day Comes (2017) 82% 5/5 EDIT “Heartbreaking and inspiring, dark and illuminating, 1987: WHEN THE DAY COMES shows us how the power and beauty of cinema can capture a moment in time, and its ability to frame and glorify the human spirit.” – TheDivaReview.com Jan 15, 2018 Full Review Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017) 70% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despite its all-star cast and should-have-been-fun fantasy setup, ALONG WITH THE GODS: THE TWO WORLDS terrible script, awful pacing, and lacklustre visual effects render it a joyless, dreary slog.” – TheDivaReview.com Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Its scattered pacing and tangled subplots doesn't make THE LAST JEDI a failure, but neither is it a celebration - or more importantly, an elevation - of anything other than the legacies of the late Carrie Fisher, and justly revered Mark Hamill” – TheDivaReview.com Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Gold Star (2017) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Painterly and lyrical, GOLD STAR is a rare glimpse into the heart of an artist, and her inspiring catharsis in the face of heartbreaking loss.” – TheDivaReview.com Dec 2, 2017 Full Review Coco (2017) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “After its spectacular visuals and music, its true and celebrational inclusion of Mexican culture; what stays with us about COCO, is the loving heart of a family, and the strength of a little boy who won't give up his dream.” – TheDivaReview.com Dec 1, 2017 Full Review Thor: Ragnarok (2017) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “I can't tell why I love THOR: RAGNAROK more: Is it because it heralds the long-awaited global domination of director Taika Waititi, or simply because it's such great fun and truly one of the top Marvel movie entries? Why not both?” – TheDivaReview.com Nov 4, 2017 Full Review Boys for Sale (Baibai bôizu) (2017) 4.5/5 EDIT “A scintillating plunge into the Tokyo sex trade. BOYS FOR SALE's frank, open conversation with straight male-for-male prostitutes answers many questions we wanted to know, but were afraid to ask, making it of the standout documentaries of the year” – TheDivaReview.com Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Tokyo Ghoul (2017) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “While not flawless, TOKYO GHOUL is an entertaining, rollicking ride that doesn't disappoint die-hard fans of the original manga series and anime, or those simply looking for a fun night at the movies.” – TheDivaReview.com Oct 22, 2017 Full Review
