MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Begging for It
Mercy is one of those movies that makes the case for more cops with bigger guns and caution over too much AI. Revolutionary!
Feeling a Bit Blue
It’s Oona Chapin to the rescue in the third, too familiar entry in James Cameron’s billion dollar franchise, Avatar: Fire and Ash.
‘Past’ Imperfect
Fans: Louis Koo is going Back to the Past. Non-fans? Maybe try SpongeBob.
Desu… Janai Desu-ka?
Mamoru Hosoda’s ambitious Scarlet doesn’t come close to Hamlet’s depth or storytelling grace.
Watch Your back, F&F
It’s goofy AF but Now You See Me: Now You Don’t knows that and doesn’t care. Good on ya, mates.
Odd Man Out
Come to Against All Odds for a lost WWII resistance tale, stay for Louise Wong with a flamethrower.
Daft Punk > NIN
If you prefer Nine Inch Nails to Daft Punk, you may prefer Tron: Ares to Tron: Legacy. May.
A Watery Grave
Third time is not the charm for Dante Lam’s ‘Operation’ series because Operation Hadal is a mess.
Devil’s in the Details
If ever a movie were critic-proof, it’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle.
Tangled Web
Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is a B movie dressed up like a franchise tentpole.
Baby ‘Steps’
It’s far from fantastic but The Fantastic Four: First Steps has a hokey charm that’s something of a tonic right now.
100% Locust-Free
More dinosaurs, fewer giant grasshoppers, zero Chris Pratt. Jurassic World Rebirth has a lot going for it.
A Well-Oiled Machine
If you’re going to crank out formula, mix it right, like Joseph Kosinksi and Brad Pitt do in F1.
