Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) 28% D EDIT “With nobody to root for, BvS:DoJ is just an unconscionably long slugfest simultaneously attempting too much and accomplishing almost nothing.” – Willamette Week Mar 24, 2016 Full Review The Bronze (2015) 37% EDIT “Rauch plays Hope like she lives inside her... Given that the charter is so unlikable, the key to making you root for her are these tiny smiles, small moments when you see through her gnarly exterior. Rauch does that to perfection.” – Willamette Week Mar 17, 2016 Full Review Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016) 68% C+ EDIT “It's occasionally brilliant but never seems comfortable.” – Willamette Week Mar 10, 2016 Full Review Infinitely Polar Bear (2014) 83% B- EDIT “As is the way in these Sundance movies, there are moments of beauty, nothing much happens, and at one point somebody runs through the woods.” – Willamette Week Jan 2, 2016 Full Review The Big Short (2015) 89% A EDIT “The film is packed with funny and surprisingly clear explanations of the financial system.” – Willamette Week Jan 2, 2016 Full Review Victor Frankenstein (2015) 26% C- EDIT “Any time you watch a "reimagining" of a story in the public domain, you do so at your own peril.” – Willamette Week Jan 2, 2016 Full Review In the Heart of the Sea (2015) 42% C- EDIT “While the first half is full of boat and whale adventures, the movie's second half is just a group of shipwrecked men slowly starving to death. It's boring.” – Willamette Week Dec 10, 2015 Full Review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 (2015) 70% EDIT “While there's lots to recommend the movie, the silly premise is the only thing I could focus on for the entire 2 hours and 17 minutes -- which is inexcusably long for a movie that is actually just half of a movie.” – Willamette Week Dec 7, 2015 Full Review Creed (2015) 95% A- EDIT “Normally it would annoy me to see a movie that is such a blatant copy, but in this case, Creed feels more like an apology for the mediocre Rocky movies we've endured.” – Willamette Week Dec 2, 2015 Full Review The 33 (2015) 49% D EDIT “Save your money and just watch YouTube videos of the real thing, which are 100 times more engaging.” – Willamette Week Nov 12, 2015 Full Review The Sandwich Nazi (2015) B EDIT “Kahil's massive personality compensates for the lack of plotline. It's a portrait of a fascinating man (and his penis) who seems more like a fictional character than a real deli owner. Perhaps a character on Seinfeld.” – Willamette Week Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Labyrinth of Lies (2014) 83% B EDIT “Filmmaker Giulio Ricciarelli's debut features a gripping story, told through nostalgic shots of men in Mad Men-style suits debating heavy matters in lofty courtrooms, riding pastel Vespas through the countryside or pacing stories-tall archive rooms.” – Willamette Week Nov 6, 2015 Full Review Miss You Already (2015) 70% C EDIT “Everybody in the movie sounds exactly the same -- women, men, adults, children, doctors, bartenders and wig makers all talk like they're the same person.” – Willamette Week Nov 5, 2015 Full Review The Keeping Room (2014) 76% B EDIT “It's a bleak, relentless movie, acted with a steely-eyed intensity that makes it feel important, though certainly not enjoyable.” – Willamette Week Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Our Brand Is Crisis (2015) 36% B- EDIT “In a way it's triple-distilled truth, but mostly it feels like an over-interpreted copy of a copy of a copy.” – Willamette Week Oct 28, 2015 Full Review Steve Jobs (2015) 85% EDIT “Fassbender's Jobs oscillates between enthusiasm for his own ideas and outrage that the world can't keep up with him, in exactly the way that people close to the genius described him.” – Willamette Week Oct 14, 2015 Full Review Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) 47% C EDIT “As we begin Maze Runner 2: Still Runnin', these rapscallions have escaped the maze and they can finally stop running. But safety makes for a boring movie and running is the only thing they do well.” – Willamette Week Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World (2015) 81% A- EDIT “It tells the story in a powerful and uncomplicated way.” – Willamette Week Sep 2, 2015 Full Review Digging for Fire (2015) 64% C- EDIT “It's peak mumblecore with some big stars getting in on the action. And it's completely empty.” – Willamette Week Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Mistress America (2015) 82% B- EDIT “While the quasi-intellectual banter is fun, I just can't get too excited about whether or not two people I do not like are going to fulfill their terrible dreams.” – Willamette Week Aug 27, 2015 Full Review The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) 68% B+ EDIT “It'll win you over in the first few minutes with an impressively innovative car-chase scene that includes one of the drivers playing dead at the wheel.” – Willamette Week Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) 94% A- EDIT “It's not sappy. It's a tight action movie focused on talented people working together for the good (or harm? You have no idea!) of the world.” – Willamette Week Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Do I Sound Gay? (2014) 82% A EDIT “The strongest part of Thorpe's film is how he blends his personal story with the larger issue.” – Willamette Week Jul 22, 2015 Full Review Trainwreck (2015) 84% EDIT “My love of Schu makes it difficult to admit this, but I didn't like Trainwreck.” – Willamette Week Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Self/less (2015) 18% C- EDIT “When a movie starts with a dumb idea and it's badly executed, you can't be that disappointed. It's not a big waste. But when a great concept gets bungled, it feels like a loss.” – Willamette Week Jul 8, 2015 Full Review
