The Irishman (3/5)
Long and meandering, the films third act focuses its thematic point and pivots Scorsese's gangster epic into a more somber and reflective piece.
It Chapter 2 (2/5)
Not as strong or as scary as the first, nevertheless Chapter 2 has stronger moments though they are fewer and further between.
El Camino (1/5)
An unnecessary capstone to Jessie's story which in hindsight may have best been left to the imagination.
Ford v Ferrari (4/5)
Great Sound, great characters, great story. This is why I go to the theater.
Frozen II (1/5)
Tis I with the frozen heart. This chilled sequel has no bite.
Knives Out (4/5)
A relentlessly entertaining ride that's almost as much fun as the cast seems to be having onscreen.
Jumanji: The Next Level (3/5)
Adventure films are scarce at the box office, but the Jumanji movies handle it so by the book you wonder why there aren't more.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (1/5)
The first poorly made Disney Star Wars movie. Oh well 3/5 is still a winning record in my book.
Spies in Disguise (2/5)
Cruises within its lane but never elevates itself beyond serviceable.
Little Woman (4/5)
Its weaker first hour builds and pays off with some exceptional character moments in the films later acts. Wonderful performances from Ronan, Pugh and Chalarmet.
Bad Boys for Life (2/5)
Not a bad time at the movies, but not what I call a good movie either.
Parasite (5/5)
Like the title would suggest, Bong joon-ho's film has attached itself to my psyche. Every thought I afford it only strengthens its adhesion to me, encouraging deeper exploration of its engrossing screenplay and plentiful visual metaphors. A truly striking film.
