reviews by year
Lore (review)

Bernie (review)
Such a simple little movie…but also sad and strange, and ironic and discomfiting.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (review)
I laughed so damn hard at these human Looney Tunes…
Oz the Great and Powerful (review)
Exactly what you expect it to be. Unless you were expecting some Sam Raimi nutso. (new DVD/VOD US/Can)
A Fierce Green Fire (review)
How, in a few short decades, we’ve gone from “Save the Whales” to “Save the Humans (as Well as the Whales, Obviously)”…
Safe Haven (review)

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (review)
Lacks all sense of magic, of myth, of danger, of humor, of power. A compete and utter all-around disaster…
The Invisible War (review)
An enraging film, as it is meant to be, and not just because it is a military microcosm of rape culture at large.
Mama movie review
Ultimately more sad than scary in ways that are about the power, for both good and ill, of parental love…
