FILM REVIEWS

In-depth film reviews of current theatrical releases, rated A through F, from someone who definitely thinks he knows more about movies than you.

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘DEADPOOL’

Out in Theaters: ‘DEADPOOL’

'Deadpool' is the superhero equivalent of Ace Ventura; a sub-social mold of swirly-giving irreverence; a modern day homo erectus arched over and talking out his butt. The shamelessly crass character…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘HAIL, CAESAR!’

Out in Theaters: ‘HAIL, CAESAR!’

The Coen Brothers have crafted a film similar in tone to the wandering entropy of A Serious Man, Hudsucker Proxy and Barton Fink with their latest "comedic" endeavor, a Hollywood…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE FINEST HOURS’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE FINEST HOURS’

Disney’s ‘The Finest Hours’ is a dialed-down disaster adventure that boasts moments of technical might and is punctuated by surprisingly earnest performances from its committed cast. But there’s an almost…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: THE FOREST

Out in Theaters: THE FOREST

A listless turd of a film, 'The Forest' lacks the requisite scares to qualify as a horror and is devoid of the necessary singular iota of intelligence required to work…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘POINT BREAK’

Out in Theaters: ‘POINT BREAK’

Impressive stunt work helps mask the ghastly script and awful performances present in 2015's version of Point Break, making for at least one reason for this completely unnecessary remake to…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘DADDY’S HOME’

Out in Theaters: ‘DADDY’S HOME’

'Daddy's Home' champions its family-friendly pull over boorish, toothy comedy to create a bumbling, occasional bemusing sitcom of a film. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are apt as men battling…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘MUSTANG’

Out in Theaters: ‘MUSTANG’

A thoughtful portrait of caged femininity, 'Mustang' strongly represents Eurpoean cinema’s knack for giving life to disparate voices. France's submission for the 2016 Oscar Best Foreign Film race is a…
