Wicked: For Good (2025) Collin Garbarino Anyway, if you were planning to see Wicked: For Good in theaters, there’s probably not much I can say that will dissuade you. Just go into it expecting that you might find this visit to the Emerald City disappointing.

Hamnet (2025) Collin Garbarino Hamnet offers a moving interpretation of the Shakespearean mythos that considers both how grief shapes creativity and how creativity can help us heal from loss.

Eternity (2025) Collin Garbarino On the whole, the film substitutes perverse joking for the witty banter and gentle humor found in the best romantic comedies. And the frisson of passion is wholly absent.

In Your Dreams (2025) Collin Garbarino The talk about the parents’ potential split-up felt a bit heavy for a kids show. I can’t imagine this movie would make children, regardless of their parents’ marital status, feel better.

Train Dreams (2025) Collin Garbarino These rather banal and heavy-handed observations concerning the world’s interconnectedness and the nature of passing time would be quite unforgivable in a less beautiful film, but as it so happens ... Bentley has created an extraordinarily beautiful film.

Nuremberg (2025) Collin Garbarino The Nazis aren’t any different from you or me. They were evil because they were human, and we fool ourselves if we think that 80 years later sin no longer crouches at our own doors.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Collin Garbarino A House of Dynamite is an unsettling movie because it shows just how thinkable the unthinkable really is.

Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) Collin Garbarino Kids in that preschool age range will love Gabby’s big bold adventure as she rescues her friends. And honestly, most parents won’t mind spending an hour and a half at the dollhouse either.

TRON: Ares (2025) Collin Garbarino And speaking of Leto, it seems the overhyped method actor has finally found the perfect role by playing a soulless algorithm. It’s terribly ironic that ChatGPT has more personality than Leto’s Ares.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) Collin Garbarino Fellowes offers viewers some clever dialogue, but for the most part the film relies on our craving for nostalgia to impart pleasure, rather than its own merit.

KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Collin Garbarino I was honestly surprised at how well the entire movie was executed.

Shari & Lamb Chop (2023) Collin Garbarino Lewis demonstrated jaw-dropping talent with her tightly clenched mouth, but a melancholy hangs over her life.

Ne Zha II (2025) Collin Garbarino Despite becoming a cultural phenomenon in China, Ne Zha II isn’t likely to become a family favorite with Americans.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Collin Garbarino It’s just vanilla. But it’s vanilla with some cool vintage sprinkles, so I’ll give it a thumbs up.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Smurfs (2025) Collin Garbarino No need to put any effort into it. Just give us a recognizable character that tickles our nostalgia and throw in the celebrity of the moment.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) Collin Garbarino The overall vibe of the movie is very traditional, respecting the old comics as well as the Christopher Reeves version of the hero. But Gunn also takes some big swings.
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Collin Garbarino In Jurassic World Rebirth, the average person has become uninterested in dinosaurs. It’s an apt metaphor for the state of this venerable franchise.

F1 The Movie (2025) Collin Garbarino "The film is fun to watch. But honestly the story doesn’t contain many surprises. It sticks to the same formula—no pun intended—used by just about every other racing movie."
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Elio (2025) Collin Garbarino The film is technically impressive, but artistically uninspiring.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Collin Garbarino We’re a far cry from 1984, when kids everywhere, including me, were perfecting their crane kicks.
Posted May 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Lilo & Stitch (2025) Collin Garbarino On the whole, this new Lilo & Stitch is a competent remake with nice tweaks, but it’s lacking some sparkle. ... The cinematography isn’t very… cinematic. The film still resembles the straight to Disney+ movie it was originally intended to be.
Posted May 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Deaf President Now! (2025) Collin Garbarino Deaf President Now! isn’t just the story of this single moment. It uses the events of that one week at Gallaudet as a window into the deaf world.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Collin Garbarino This tribute contains some nice moments, but it fails as a Mission: Impossible movie.
Posted May 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Thunderbolts* (2025) Collin Garbarino Thunderbolts* possesses a kind of meta-commentary on the Marvel Cinematic Universe that I found appealing. The characters talk about their world in a way that acknowledges the fact that the franchise is in shambles.

Drop (2025) Collin Garbarino Hitchcockian.
Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) Collin Garbarino It’s a beautiful, quirky little movie that proves to be a little bit funny, a little bit sad, and a little bit sweet, all at the same time.
Posted Apr 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Disney's Snow White (2025) Collin Garbarino Perhaps the most charitable thing I can say about Disney’s Snow White is that it might be so bad it’s good. The entire movie is one big unintentional joke, and I must admit that the sheer stupidity of it all gave me a good chuckle.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Collin Garbarino The Day the Earth Blew Up proves that what was once old has become new again. Its 2D hand-drawn style manages to feel both refreshing and nostalgic at the same time.

Last Breath (2025) Collin Garbarino As strange as it might seem to say it, this movie about running out of oxygen feels like a breath of fresh air.
Posted Feb 28, 2025  Edit critic review
The Unbreakable Boy (2025) Collin Garbarino This movie didn’t tell the story I expected. ... I thought we would see his optimism and joy confront the world’s cruelty and cynicism. ... This story is about Scott, while Austin serves as the catalyst for his father’s transformation.

Paddington in Peru (2024) Collin Garbarino This third installment is good, though perhaps not quite as good as the first two.
Posted Feb 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Collin Garbarino This new Captain America isn’t a super­soldier, so his fists don’t pack the same mighty punch. But he can surely bludgeon both friends and foes with self-righteous platitudes.

Love Hurts (2025) Collin Garbarino It’s too bad the movie is so morally dubious. At one point, Astin’s character gives a speech about absolution, but I’m not sure the filmmakers know what the word means.
Posted Feb 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Dog Man (2025) Collin Garbarino DreamWorks nails the feel of the graphic novels with bold and kinetic animation. It’s still a little ugly, but it’s also charming in a somewhat crude way.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) Collin Garbarino [Sonic the Hedgehog 3] definitely understood the assignment.

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) Collin Garbarino I guess the film’s OK, but it doesn’t really know what it’s about, and it somehow still manages to get a little preachy at the end.

A Complete Unknown (2024) Collin Garbarino Don’t think twice, this movie is all right.
Posted Dec 13, 2024  Edit critic review
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) Collin Garbarino I suspect New Line’s reasoning went something like this: “Nerds like Tolkien, and nerds like anime; therefore, nerds will love a Tolkien anime.” I have my doubts as to whether this syllogism is sound.

Moana 2 (2024) Collin Garbarino The problem with this film is that it fails to live up to the original in every single category. You can safely save this one for the small screen.

Wicked (2024) Collin Garbarino If there’s anything that could get the American moviegoer interested in big-screen musicals again, it might be this.

Gladiator II (2024) Collin Garbarino The sheer silliness of it all might be forgivable, if the film possessed a compelling story. Alas, it does not.

Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. (2024) Collin Garbarino The film nails the atmospherics, so it’s a shame the script fails to do justice to this complicated hero.
Posted Nov 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Here (2024) Collin Garbarino The gimmick starts to wear thin after a while… Maybe there’s a reason movies aren’t filmed like stage plays. And, to be honest, the story isn’t really interesting enough.

Conclave (2024) Collin Garbarino You couldn’t ask for a better cast to don the scarlet robes of the College of Cardinals.

The Wild Robot (2024) Collin Garbarino Whether kids have read the book or not, I think they’ll enjoy the film. Parents probably will too.
Posted Sep 27, 2024  Edit critic review
Transformers One (2024) Collin Garbarino The story adds some nice twists to the Transformers’ mythos, and it will doubtlessly appeal to both longtime fans and their children. But while the film contains action and humor, it fails to seamlessly integrate its themes into the narrative.

God's Not Dead: In God We Trust (2024) Collin Garbarino God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust entertained me to some extent. ... However, I found both the theological and political perspectives disappointing.

My Penguin Friend (2024) Collin Garbarino Despite the alterations intended to ratchet up the drama, this movie about a man and his bird friend gives the innumerable dog films a run for their money.
Posted Sep 10, 2024  Edit critic review
3/4
Coraline (2009) Collin Garbarino Coraline seems to have grown into an allegory that it was never meant to be. I honestly can’t think of a better analogy for our current algorithm-driven existence that promises to give us just what we want

Am I Racist? (2024) Collin Garbarino Walsh has a knack for asking seemingly ingenuous questions that make his interlocutors sound like the racists. It’s a shame he didn’t rely on this tactic more. The documentary often veers into absurdity with Walsh indulging in socially awkward behavior.
