Speak No Evil (2022)
You have the building blocks of a Jenga tower that may just fall to become the biggest and best political allegory of the year. This is an unnerving piece of work.

Riotsville, USA (2022)
Aside from the B&W footage and olden commercials, the people would fit right in with the current political climate.

Emergency (2022)
Williams walks a tightrope here in going for laughs but in no way shies away from the issue especially in the final scenes. The laughs here are big, the performances are solid.

Dual (2022)
This is a very funny film that left me awaiting whatever Stearns has up his sleeve next.

Shattered (2022)
Shattered is little more than an exercise in cinematic detumescence that is unlikely to arouse interest -- or much of anything else for that matter.

Borrego (2022)
Borrego is a film that clearly yearns to be taken seriously but never comes close to earning it.

The Tender Bar (2021)
Despite a good role for Ben Affleck, this belongs in the biopic category of "is this story interesting to anyone but the author?"

Red Rocket (2021)
There are plenty of reasons why the film works, but the key element to the success of Red Rocket is the performance by Simon Rex as Mike.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
A pretty entertaining piece of pop cinema that even those who have no particular interest in superhero films -- and I fall into that category -- can still embrace.

The Card Counter (2021)

The Hating Game (2021)
You can probably fill in the blanks from there and probably in a more interesting manner than director Peter Hutchings and screenwriter Christina Mengert are able to muster.

France (2021)
The results move back and forth from comedy to serious drama but they never quite gel into a satisfying whole and at 133 minutes, watching it become a bit of a chore after a while.

Being the Ricardos (2021)
The film is an overlong and largely pointless exercise with largely joyless performances that has no real idea of what it wants to say or how to say it.

Those who don't have a problem with watching something that is defiantly off the beaten cinematic path may find it as fascinating as I did.

Belfast (2021)
In his own films since 1989, Branagh has chased that intoxicating mix of awe and engagement, and has sometimes caught it. But he doesn't do it here.

Unstuck in Time is a sympathetic, often fond portrait of a man who knew pain and seemed to consider it humanity's common denominator, our shared cross to bear.

House of Gucci (2021)
Leto takes Paolo to such ludicrously cartoonish extremes that it is almost dumbfounding that you have to wonder what he and Scott were thinking when they settled on this approach.

Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago (2021)
The more measured pace does not exactly jibe with the idiocy on the screen... and the rampant jingoism on display is still as jaw-dropping as ever.

The Power of the Dog (2021)
Cumberbatch turns in the performance of his career as Phil, a creature of greed and spite so pronounced that he makes Daniel Plainview seem cuddly by comparison.
