Blue Beetle (2023) 78% B+ EDIT “Blue Beetle never loses sight of the community it seeks to honor, not once pandering nor offering surface-level representation of what it means to be Latino.” – Entertainment Weekly Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Agnes (2021) 68% EDIT “A choppy, muddled mess of a movie that has its own identity crisis of what it wants to be or to show.” – TheWrap Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Prayers for the Stolen (2021) 96% EDIT “Rather than focus on the terror of living in a cartel-torn area, the film becomes a tale of strength, heartbreak, and jaw-dropping beauty.” – TheWrap Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Bruised (2020) 51% EDIT “It's a valiant effort from Berry, but it doesn't quite hit the mark, weighed down by a formulaic script and uneven fight direction.” – TheWrap Nov 14, 2021 Full Review Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021) 58% EDIT “While Clifford is definitely cute, the script (screenplay and story are credited to five writers) lacks any depth, relying upon Whitehall to carry and deliver the comedy - so much so that Casey feels simultaneously exaggerated and two-dimensional.” – TheWrap Nov 7, 2021 Full Review Ron's Gone Wrong (2021) 82% EDIT “"Ron's Gone Wrong" offers partially realized messaging about social media while populating the story with elementary sight gags, too many overused "fish out of water" tropes, and attractive merchandise options.” – TheWrap Oct 9, 2021 Full Review The Addams Family 2 (2021) 28% EDIT “Remains kooky and fun, yet it lacks the warmth from the previous film and feels more juvenile, too.” – TheWrap Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Language Lessons (2021) 96% EDIT “A warm, lovely film about platonic affection and the human need for connection.” – TheWrap Sep 10, 2021 Full Review The Lost Daughter (2021) 94% EDIT “Gyllenhaal is gentle when needed and blunt when required, but her eye captures every emotion and element in the moment.” – TheWrap Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Cinderella (2021) 41% EDIT “Some profundity would make the girl-power messaging seem less superficial.” – TheWrap Sep 1, 2021 Full Review The Night House (2020) 88% EDIT “Once it loses the horror, the movie can't quite figure out how to combine the power of an expert performance with a muddled and confusing tale about grief, what we leave behind, and depression.” – TheWrap Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Respect (2021) 68% 2/5 EDIT “While Jennifer Hudson is undeniably vibrant as Mr. Franklin, her story's overall lack of depth makes this film about a legendary icon feel like a staged reading of her Wikipedia page.” – Nerdist Aug 12, 2021 Full Review PAW Patrol: The Movie (2021) 82% EDIT “Brunker and his co-writers find a way to deliver a multi-layered story that can grab toddlers while keeping older viewers entertained and not groaning at some propagandized messaging.” – TheWrap Aug 8, 2021 Full Review Free Guy (2021) 80% 4/5 EDIT “An enjoyable and wildly entertaining film that has subtle messages about being unique, creative, and even choosing artistry over money. Gasp!” – Nerdist Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Jungle Cruise (2021) 62% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite some lackluster CGI, the charm of both leads is felt throughout this family adventure.” – Nerdist Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despite the stellar cast, a plot rife with '80s tropes, laughable dialog, and terrible camera work that ruined some action sequences makes the film fall woefully short.” – Nerdist Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Old (2021) 50% 4/5 EDIT “There are plenty of thrills, and you might guess the twist, but by only focusing on that, you're doing yourself a huge disservice.” – Nerdist Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Jolt (2021) 40% EDIT “It's easy to forgive some of the story's more formulaic tropes simply because you can tell that the actors, and even the director, are just tickled by what they are doing.” – TheWrap Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Zola (2020) 88% EDIT “Whip-smart, funny, complicated, and just plain wild, Zola is 90 minutes of brilliance.” – TheWrap Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Queen Bees (2021) 55% EDIT “For all the superficiality and shortcomings of "Queen Bees," the film's biggest draw, and strongest attribute, is its packed ensemble of iconic actors.” – TheWrap Jun 11, 2021 Full Review Spirit Untamed (2021) 48% EDIT “When the best thing about a film is the music being used in the trailer (Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams"), maybe you need to go back to the drawing board.” – TheWrap Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “Is Wonder Woman 1984 entertaining? Sure, it's fun, hits all the right superhero marks, and visually, the 1980-something world is a technicolor throwback to behold.” – Observer Dec 23, 2020 Full Review Trolls World Tour (2020) 72% EDIT “At times the humor feels elementary (and at others a little flat), but the story really finds itself when it weaves musical history into this road-trip tale in a captivating and entertaining manner.” – TheWrap Apr 8, 2020 Full Review The Call of the Wild (2020) 63% EDIT “There is something seriously wrong with an adaptation of a classic novel when, an hour into the film, you can't tell what the story is actually about.” – TheWrap Feb 17, 2020 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) 64% EDIT “Might not become a kid-movie classic, but it makes for a great little getaway to enjoy with the whole family. That, in itself, earns a golden ring.” – TheWrap Feb 13, 2020 Full Review
