Review: Scoob!

June 24, 2020

Scoob! hardly deserves the exclamation point at the end of its title, let alone the place in this Great Dane’s half-century legacy.

Review: Trolls World Tour

April 23, 2020

Yes, Trolls World Tour is at its heart a shameless remix of Avengers: Infinity War, and I’ve actually mixed up the titles in my brain while writing this...

Review: Dragon Quest: Your Story

March 29, 2020

Dragon Quest: Your Story is a bizarre experience that will bewilder both fans and newcomers alike.

Review: Superman: Red Son

Superman: Red Son offers some interesting concepts and themes for fans, but is it anything to write home about?

Review: Onward

March 9, 2020

Onward's issue is not with the material, but with how it is handled and executed.

Review: Weathering With You

February 3, 2020

Weathering With You is yet another unapologetically romantic outing from the director of Your Name.

Review: I Lost My Body

January 27, 2020

Jérémy Clapin entertains and engages us with a somber look into a young man who’s been torn asunder in ways more than just physically...

Review: Spies in Disguise

January 12, 2020

I should be kind since this is the first outing for these directors, but there’s little excuse for the horrible waste of talent here.

For those of us who’ve been wondering since the turn of the millennium exactly how the traditional form of feature film animation could possibly reclaim a place of unironic consideration in the mainstream consciousness, this is one of the best answers we [...]

Retro Review: Frozen

December 8, 2019

With Frozen II warming the hearts of children everywhere, it's the perfect time to reflect on the film that started it all. Is Frozen as good as we remember?

Review: Frozen II

December 1, 2019

Structurally, it works. Aesthetically, it dazzles. Narratively and musically, it’s seen better days.

Review: The Addams Family (2019)

October 21, 2019

It is how they contrast with real good, not how they match up with real evil (which they don’t), that makes the Addams so lovable.

Review: Abominable

October 1, 2019

Just because the meal is familiar in its ingredients and arrangement, doesn’t mean it isn’t appreciable in its delivery.

Review: The Lion King (2019)

July 23, 2019

Another month, another Disney remake. Except this time they're remaking the Oscar-winning film, The Lion King. Can you improve upon perfection?

Review: Toy Story 4

June 29, 2019

Yes, it was good to open up the toy box one more time. Yes, it was good to know that the toys still work after all these years. Yes, it’s great that we got to see them cut loose and that it’s largely just as fun as we remember. With all that said, it’s [...]

Review: The Secret Life of Pets 2

June 15, 2019

Seriously, what WAS that? If your plot is too thin, do you take several equally thin plots and fold them over each other hoping to have something that justifies a feature length production? Okay, in concept that’s not the worst idea.

Review: UglyDolls

UglyDolls isn't a bad movie...just not a very good one.

Review: Pokémon Detective Pikachu

May 11, 2019

The film may be a slog for newcomers, but for fans it a) provides an excuse to immerse oneself in the Pokémon world, and b) finally delivers a more mature, satisfying story. What more do you want?

Review: Wonder Park

March 24, 2019

Thematically, it’s pretty clear as to what Wonderland represents. The theme park is the incarnation of June’s creative psyche: weathered and unkempt due to neglect, overrun by malicious entities due to the worry and grief June has bottled up since her [...]
