Beast (2022) movie review: he fights the lion
Idris Elba fights a lion. This is what we are promised and this is what we get. The purity is sort of beautiful. But is it a failure of the movie, or a success, that it treats such nonsense earnestly?
Gringo movie review: Mexican bland-off
Woefully undeveloped characters, a thin yet convoluted plot, and a lack of humor in the black comedy. This is what it looks like when a hastily scribbled first draft goes straight into production.
Free Fire movie review: guns a-boring
A 90-minute shootout that never makes us care who lives and who dies. In attempting to send up a cinematic cliché, this only becomes a tedious example of same.
Chappie movie review: robot icks
A morally muddled mess that is convoluted in plot and appallingly simplistic in its themes. I am a sad geek today.
Maleficent movie review: fatal enchantment… you know, for kids!
Please leave your desire for a well-rounded story in the lockers provided, and keep your arms and legs inside the ride while it is in motion.
Open Grave trailer: can’t not see this cuz Sharlto Copley
I’m glad this looks interesting, because I’m gonna have to watch it no matter what.
Elysium review: third world rock from the sun
Neill Blomkamp cements his science-fiction credentials as a filmmaker with a genre vision the likes of which we haven’t seen since the socially conscious SF of the 1970s.
Europa Report review: quest for fire (of knowledge)
I didn’t think we were making movies like this anymore. Very near future. Hard science. Nothing fantastical. Space geekery galore, gorgeous and authentic.
in a pressurized enviroment, they can hear you scream (Europa Report trailer)
Yay! Sharlto Copley is back.
