Movie Review: ‘Pinocchio’

Movie Review: ‘Pinocchio’

Kurt JensenJanuary 14, 20213 min read
It’s no lie to say that this “Pinocchio” is scrupulously faithful to the grotesqueries of its source material.

Movie Review: ‘Promising Young Woman’

John MulderigDecember 29, 20203 min read
This black comedy-tinged drama wastes its opportunity to make morally legitimate points about a genuine social evil.

Movie Review: ‘Soul’

John MulderigDecember 29, 20204 min read
“Soul” a blend of drama and comedy, while often funny, fails to make a similar impact as past Pixar hits like “Up” and “Inside Out.”

Movie Review: ‘Wonder Woman 1984’

Joseph McAleerDecember 29, 20203 min read
The plot is silly, at times preposterous. But that’s not unexpected for an old-fashioned popcorn movie, a Saturday-matinee serial writ large.

Movie Review: ‘Half Brothers’

John MulderigDecember 10, 20203 min read
Though director Luke Greenfield’s odd-couple road trip movie produces the occasional laugh, it’s effectively undercut by the fact that neither of its lead characters is a believable figure.

Movie Review: ‘The Croods: A New Age’

Joseph McAleerDecember 2, 20203 min read
The most entertaining Stone Age family since the Flintstones returns to the big screen in “The Croods: A New Age” (Universal), a delightful animated comedy suitable for almost all ages.
Movie Review: ‘Come Away’

Movie Review: ‘Come Away’

Joseph McAleerNovember 19, 20203 min read
Take “Peter Pan,” add a dash of “Alice in Wonderland,” stir in the poetry of William Butler Yeats and you have the recipe for “Come Away” (Relativity), an intriguing if slightly schizophrenic fairy tale.
Movie Review: ‘Martin Eden’

Movie Review: ‘Martin Eden’

Joseph McAleerNovember 11, 20203 min read
The latest big-screen adaptation of London’s semi-autobiographical tale — an Italian-language film with English subtitles — offers a refreshing new take on the rags-to-riches saga.

Movie Review: ‘Come Play’

John MulderigNovember 4, 20203 min read
If the monster movie “Come Play” (Focus) is only reasonably effective in frightening its audience, it is at least refreshingly free of objectionable material, including gore.

Movie Review: ‘Fishbowl’

Kurt JensenOctober 29, 20203 min read
Logical flaws make this drama’s plot difficult to embrace, or even comprehend. Some dialogue expressing the inner lives of the characters would have been a great help.
