Edgar Wright's kinetic robbery caper captures an energy that only the Fast franchise has access to, without sacrificing its ability to be taken seriously.
Unfortunately, Ansel Elgort has to carry the load, a task he's a little inconsistent in pulling off. Hollywood doesn't have too many 20-something leading men to go to, so this is probably as good as you're gonna get.
And while the music is a treat to listen to, the marriage of sight and sound isn't rocky,…
Batman is flawed, has an occasionally frustrating script, and is inconsistent with its characters and yet... I adore every second of it.
Seeing this on the big screen was a total delight and swept me up into the experience like it did however many years ago when I first saw it.
Grade: 9.5/10
I don’t really see movies in the theaters multiple times, but it was raining today and I had the itch to use my MoviePass™ so it felt right.
This still roooooocks.

This movie kind of destoyed me in the first 30-45 minutes. A lot of IRL stuff is happening that this movie addressed with an emotional gut punch. I would have full on sobbed soooo many times if I was in an empty theater.
The movie sort of becomes Disney-by-numbers in the story department, but the hundred acre wood gang makes up for it by being their wonderful, wholesome selves.
Grade: 7.5/10
Much more of a slow burn than I expected (and I expected a slow burn) which is alright considering how excellent the first 40 and last 20 minutes were.
David Lowery: please never stop making making cool shit. The movies!!
I have 2 announcements to make.
1) This movie fucking rules
2) Pennywise is the best villain of the year so far, case closed.
It is a nostalgic, child-filled horror movie. Other than the MCU, those are three of my least favorite kinds of movies. And yet, I had a blast with the only Stephen King adaptation of 2017. The ONLY one.
Like I said, I am a self-admitted hater of child actors, so when I say this crew is…
Judas and the Black Messiah is a charged, powerful drama that features perhaps the best performance of the year in Daniel Kaluuya (who hasn’t been getting nearly enough attention from the awards people) and yet it took a night’s sleep for me to figure out why it didn’t land as hard as I wanted it to.
To use Judas in the title and not have the messiah character ever confront or really even acknowledge there being a Judas in his midst…
Yeah, it could have used an extra script polish or two, and it's very derivative of Seven and Prisoners, but I like a good detective/serial killer movie every now and again, and The Little Things scratched that itch for sure.
Emily Blunt.... is like, a real person.... can you imagine that?
Welcome to Part 2 of "2017 Movies Where I Didn't Expect To Cry, But Did", an unexpected review series which looks at films I totally cried during because I guess that's just the person I am now.
I know some people are looking down on this as Spielberg's little liberal passion project before he gets back into the blockbuster fare with Ready Player One. That is what I would like to call a bad take.
It is incredibly important for…
Promising Young Woman has a powerfully constructed ending and a magnetic lead performance from Carrie Mulligan, but there are pacing issues that nearly derail it in the second act.
