I found the story to be both intensely-compelling and yet emotionally-wearying at the same time.

Good horror films should rattle your cage, and this one does a pretty good job of that.

Peter Parker’s immersion into Marvel’s cinematic canon seamlessly continues with a well-acted, richly-textured sequel that somehow manages to be dramatically compelling and a consistently fun from start to finish.

Yesterday tiptoes around the fact that it creates an unappealing world by keeping its tone breezy and fun.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 has just enough enthusiasm to keep kids from destroying the theater around them.

Yeah, it has moments of dry cleverness and some downright wacky performances, but this Dead ultimately dies with a dull thud.

This third reunion of Pixar’s flagship characters finds everyone in great form, with some brilliant additions who prove that the famed digital studio still has plenty of tricks stored in its magic Mary Poppins-style bag.

Child’s Play has its share of genuine scares, but its best moments flaunt a cheerfully wicked sense of humor.  This is cinematic junk food at its absolute finest.  

After suffering through several courses of limp, brainless summer blockbusters, Late Night is a welcome sorbet.  

It has much of the same flavor, just with different actors and accents.  What’s missing is the freshness and invention that made the very first installment so irresistibly fun.
