Firmly in the fun but not good camp of movies. Borrowing liberally from Indiana Jones , National Treasure and even The Mummy , that this is as entertaining as it is is a credit to a deep, talented cast and Guy Ritchie's influence. I don't have much to say ...

This was based on a video game? Cool. Hopefully the game was better. Don’t drink the tap water. Please don’t. That turned my stomach and horror movies don’t really do that. Is it harder to make it until dawn or until the end of the movie? There’s g...

Half-baked, over-acted and mediocre at best. The twist is...terrible? Not gross, but yeah. No, no — don't watch it to find out. It's not worth it. I'd be upset if someone pulled up a chair and stared at me from my lawn though, I get that. Hasn't happened...

🌲🦌👐🏻🏚️🩸 And this is why I don't like hiking. I appreciate nature, I like the abstract concept of nature but I don't want to go commune with it. You've got a map, a compass and more dead friends. You wander into a cabin only to realize N...

Picking apples, making pies. The atmosphere throughout this movie is so weighty it could sink a ship. Maybe it should have. Every step of it is brilliantly acted, shot in gray-ish, desaturated hues and hellishly dark. Move to the new world, bring the kids,...

🙂😃😄😁🎤😫 One of the rare examples of a sequel being dramatically better than the original film. Pro-bono therapist that's still wealthy? Gone. Troubled pop star anchor? Yes. This uses the same jarring transitions and continuous toying with ...

A fun, fun, fun action movie. I was caught up in the action and didn’t see the twists and turns coming. I imagine that was intentional — how could it not be? Jolie, Schreiber, Ejiofor, Braugher — you couldn’t ask for a better cast. Fawn Moscato eve...

One of the few horror movies in recent memory that I've found to be both genuinely and unexpectedly terrifying. It's all tension, practical effects, basic human failures and a touch of the supernatural. Devastating.

🦌 A lesson about respecting the environment told with the set dressing of a horror film. It succeeds by focusing on the narrative it introduces and avoiding a heavy-handed lecturing directed at the viewer. I loved it. Jesse Plemons is perpetually underr...

One of those movies that aims for profundity but instead works best as idle background noise. Nic Cage does Nic Cage things and well, yeah — good enough.
