Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Damian Levy Even with cracks in the foundation, ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’, is a crowd pleasing send off to one of cinemas most iconic characters, being played by the only one who could ever do it.

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Damian Levy The film is riddled with cliches, plot conveniences, and has blatantly transparent arcs for its characters, yet Jurassic World Rebirth makes it work by adhering to a simple principle: Make it fun.

Sinners (2025) Damian Levy In critic speak, if you see one film this year, it absolutely must be Ryan Coogler’s instant classic Sinners.

Expend4bles (2023) Damian Levy The novelty of assembling the greatest action stars in history has more than worn off, especially considering most have abandoned the series altogether. If they don’t care for it, why should anyone else?

Bloodshot (2020) Damian Levy Perhaps watching it on streaming is the best way, allowing you to shut 'Bloodshot' off whenever you've had your fill of it.

Onward (2020) Damian Levy I couldn't help thinking of my own brother by the time the credits rolled, with what might have been a teardrop or two.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) Damian Levy The movie has the DNA of Deadpool, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World, combined into the mutated one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is Birds of Prey.

Bad Boys for Life (2020) Damian Levy It's like walking into Burger King with a craving for a whopper, but they tell you they only have steak tartare. But right now, you want a greasy, fatty whopper. And even if you did want steak tartare, you don't want it made by Burger King.

Like a Boss (2020) Damian Levy People will be able to point at the screen and say, "That's me!" and hear a positive message reinforced. What else is cinema for.

Catch It On Cable
Underwater (2020) Damian Levy Underwater is a film with a lot of potential. It just never dives deep enough to get there.

Shazam! (2019) Damian Levy The movie is so endearing, you almost want it to hit a few more tropes just to see how Shazam does it. Not bad for a new superhero.

Triple Threat (2019) Damian Levy Hopefully, the trio will get another chance to deliver something with more staying power.

Hellboy (2019) Damian Levy The one thing Hellboy has going for it, is that it's never boring. Trainwrecks tend to hold your attention that way.

Little (2019) Damian Levy Catch it on cable for a half hour or so but should feel free to shut it off as soon as they get bored.

The Intruder (2019) Damian Levy It's hard to narrow down if it's the acting that was terrible or if the dialogue was too bad to act. Likely, it was both.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) Damian Levy Legendary Pictures seems to have heard the outcry of audiences everywhere and have seen fit to produce Godzilla: King of the Monsters, a film that knows no sense of the word 'restraint.'

Toy Story 4 (2019) Damian Levy The idea of a fourth Toy Story film was nothing short of troubling. Thankfully, graciously, and astoundingly, Toy Story 4 is fantastic.

Catch It On Cable
Dark Phoenix (2019) Damian Levy X-Men: Dark Phoenix chronicles the last hurrah of the current cast with an ending that fits the franchise completely - with clunkiness, entertaining highs and forgettable lows.

Aladdin (2019) Damian Levy There's enough here to make the film stand out on its own. Whether it stands out for the right reasons is up to the viewer.

Men in Black: International (2019) Damian Levy Men In Black: International is forced to juggle both story arcs, and in a not-so-compelling fashion.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) Damian Levy Detective Pikachu wears its influences on its sleeve, and has the sensibilities of a Stephen Spielberg-produced picture.
Posted Jan 10, 2020  Edit critic review
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Damian Levy Ultimately, Spider-Man: Far From Home is a fun, energetic, and entertaining blockbuster, and far better than what's been in cinemas these last two months.

Rocketman (2019) Damian Levy There's a sense of craftsmanship that gives Rocketman a step above other biopics that have the same story beats.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) Damian Levy If you can go in for some high-level action with a low-brow script, you'll be entertained.

Catch It On Cable
47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019) Damian Levy The film is best viewed as an amusement park ride on which you can experience the underwater, haunted house of an ancient, shark-infested, Mayan maze.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) Damian Levy I can't believe I'm saying this; in fact, it seems wrong as I say it, but Dora and the Lost City of Gold is one of the best films of 2019.

It: Chapter Two (2019) Damian Levy The decision to make the film more about the characters was a wise one, but can bog down the film, based on just how many characters it needs to get to.

Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) Damian Levy Watching the movie is like listening to a friend explain a Wikipedia article that he's been obsessed with since he was 15.

Abominable (2019) Damian Levy It's akin to taking a roller-coaster ride where it feels like your stomach is jumping up into your throat

Ad Astra (2019) Damian Levy Stunning filmmaking. But a story that is overly dependent on emotional beats that fall flat, knocks it down a few pegs.

Joker (2019) Damian Levy When he finally does put on the colourful suit and painted face, it's akin to watching a horror movie monster emerge.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) Damian Levy These elements give the movie a nice shine, but when you bust out the polish to make your shoe look pretty, it doesn't make a difference if the sole is missing.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) Damian Levy It's still a road-trip film, in the same world that you fell for the first time around, with the characters you grew to love, accompanied by a decade worth of growth.

Catch It On Cable
Gemini Man (2019) Damian Levy Certain scenes have the younger version of Henry looking like an unfinished video game from the early 2000s.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Damian Levy I never expected to love Terminator: Dark Fate. I came away from it thinking it was a love letter to the best of the series, and a statement on what blockbusters can do in 2019.

Ford v Ferrari (2019) Damian Levy The film is much like the car it is based on. At times it is messy, almost like it's going to fall apart. It takes shortcuts and is all the better for it, and when it takes off, it's shockingly fun to watch.

Frozen II (2019) Damian Levy It makes the world of Frozen feel infinite, even if the characters and the story make it feel like it's a small world after all. Perhaps I should just let it go.

Queen & Slim (2019) Damian Levy You might not want to subject yourself to its harshness, but Queen & Slim is a well-crafted catharsis.

Knives Out (2019) Damian Levy It takes a look at people, how they see themselves, and how they see the people they think they know. It makes it clear, there's more to the story than we think.
