Luca (2021)
It's generic and ordinary and, although it contains sufficient material to engage children, its ability to hold the attention of older viewers is less sure.

Rarely have I seen the volcanic Jackson look so disinterested; this is the closest he's ever come to phoning it in.

Awake (2021)
The promise of an intriguing premise results in expectations that the film, which rarely diverges from the familiar feel of a post-apocalyptic road movie, is unable to capture.

In the Heights (2021)
Fortunately, the music is always at the ready to recalibrate the production's momentum and get it back on track.

Spirit Untamed (2021)
Anyone old enough to know better... will see the movie as a bland retread of the Netflix series - a made-on-the-cheap cash grab with minimal artistic merit.

Cruella (2021)
An unremarkable (although certainly not awful) family film (with a PG-13 rating) that lacks a compelling reason to exist.

A Quiet Place Part II (2021)
While Krasinski the screenwriter may have found himself in a bind determining how to move forward, Krasinski the director makes the most out of the meager material.

Final Account (2021)
Final Account's purpose is straightforward and it never varies from that goal.

The Woman in the Window (2021)
It's a credit to Adams' performance that the movie works for as long as it does.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
If Saw ever had its day, the sun has long since set on it. There seems to be little point in exhuming it for a new generation.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)
Those Who Wish Me Dead is serviceable but no more.

Profile (2021)
It's the best "screenlife" movie to-date and it hints at future possibilities.

2.5/4
Oxygen (2021)
The bad aftertaste from the contrived and unconvincing conclusion diminishes the experience but doesn't completely undo the prior 90 minutes of mystery and tension.

Wrath of Man (2021)
All the ingredients seem to be in place for a rollicking violent time but the elements don't gel.

Limbo (2021)
Despite its share of missteps (the most egregious of which unfortunately occurs late in the proceedings), Limbo is just weird and wonderful enough to earn a recommendation.

Together Together (2021)
Together Together could have traversed a number of obvious and unappealing melodramatic routes, but this isn't that kind of movie.

The Tunnel (Tunnelen) (2019)
There are times when a less-is-more approach results in gripping entertainment and The Tunnel is one such example.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
The humans are uninteresting and the monsters seem like what they are: extravagant special effects.

King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963)
King Kong vs. Godzilla is a pure gold-plated turd.

3/4
Nobody (2021)
The premise isn't new or unique but it's the kind of high-concept idea that, if done right, can be outrageously entertaining.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
As with any project where the director has no checks or balances, there are problems.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2018)
Untethered to Batman's established continuity, it allows the filmmakers to explore different facets of the familiar hero and rearrange the players around him in interesting ways.

The Courier (2020)
A sometimes-riveting old-fashioned spy thriller that is occasionally reminiscent of the fictional works of John Le Carre and Len Deighton.

The fairest way I can describe Coming 2 America is to say that it's not as bad as I feared it might be.

The Affair (2021)
History buffs, especially those with an affinity for World War II stories and/or an interest in 20th century Czechoslovakia, may enjoy what The Affair has to offer.

Boogie (2021)
Boogie is at times unpolished but it offers a compelling and sympathetic portrayal of the title character and avoids excessive melodrama or a too-facile ending.

Death Race 2000 (1975)
Could it be argued that the movie is "so bad that it's good"? I suppose, especially if you're a connoisseur of cinematic guano. For me, Death Race is merely bad.

The Father is an excellent movie but it's not a lot of fun to watch, especially for those with first-hand experience in this area.

Land (2021)
Land is both a tribute to the triumph of the human spirit and an examination of the difficulties of setting aside modern conveniences for primitive survival.

The characters are likeable, the actors evidence chemistry, and the romantic comedy elements are assembled effectively.

The Little Things (2021)
The movie works when viewed through the narrow lens of one character's personal redemption rather than through a wider portal.
