The Shack
Like the book it’s based upon, this cinematic story about a grieving man encountering God is almost certain to stir up controversy among Christians.
Collide
Collide is really a mess of a movie—as jarring and nonsensical as any of the many, many crashes we see in it.
Get Out
But whatever important ideas about racial alienation this movie may be trying to illustrate, we also can’t lose sight of how it chooses to express itself—in bloody, profane ways.
Fist Fight
Fist Fight tries to tell us that what we say and do, and how we live our lives, matters. But it undercuts its own message by not caring much about its own story or content or, frankly, its audience.
A Cure for Wellness
What begins as taut, suspenseful thriller descends into horror story that’s as lurid as it is absurd.
John Wick: Chapter 2
Just like the first Wick pic, this is a bone-breaking ballet of brutality. It’s a movie that’s more concerned with how it artfully splashes brains, than how it uses any when telling its story.
The Comedian
This movie is as funny as a puppy with cancer.
Rings
Rings, the latest Americanized and cannibalized sequel to 1998’s original Japanese horror flick Ringu, is the equivalent of a fever dream.
Gold
If this film wanted to make a salient point about the value of hard work or the perils of greed, that’d give us at least something to work with. But Gold’s core reveals little of value.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
If you’re looking for character development or compelling acting or anything other than a cinematic bucket of zombie chum chucked into your face, you’ve come to the wrong place.
