Burden (2018) 49% EDIT “Burden tries to leave viewers with a sense of hope from its good-hearted redemption story, and for some, it certainly will. But for others, its shortcomings will make it feel shallow and naïve.” – Twin Cities Geek Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Extraction (2020) 67% 4/10 EDIT “Extraction is worth watching for those who are action junkies, but for the casual viewer, it will probably leave something to be desired.” – Next Best Picture May 15, 2020 Full Review The Addams Family (2019) 46% 4/10 EDIT “Mixed animation styles and derivative storytelling combined with the feather-light tone and obvious messaging make this feel less like an Addams Family film and more like the Munsters.​” – Next Best Picture Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Abominable (2019) 83% 8/10 EDIT “Stunning visuals and a great case combined with a well told story make Abominable one of the best animated films released so far this year.​” – Next Best Picture Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Hustlers (2019) 88% 8/10 EDIT “[Hustlers] creates fully realized female characters in a fascinating story that never shies away from the deeper implications of its narrative all of which combines to make it one of the most unique and enjoyable films I expect to see in 2019.” – Next Best Picture Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Rambo: Last Blood (2019) 26% 2/10 EDIT “Gruesome and simplistic.” – Next Best Picture Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Stuber (2019) 43% 5/10 EDIT “The film tries to appeal to everyone and in the process loses some of its appeal to everyone. The action scenes are uneven and the impressive supporting cast is not given nearly enough time to shine.​” – Next Best Picture Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) 68% 7/10 EDIT “Detective Pikachu is an entertaining watch for families and anyone who has fond memories of their time experiencing a world that includes Squirtles, Pikachus, and Psyducks.” – Next Best Picture May 9, 2019 Full Review Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) 54% 7/10 EDIT “The success of this film rests largely on Zac Efron's performance as Ted Bundy, played too maniacally or too sweet and the nuance that is necessary for this story would have been lost.” – Next Best Picture May 9, 2019 Full Review Dumbo (2019) 46% 4/10 EDIT “The bones of this new film could make for an interesting reimagining of the Dumbo story, but the screenplay, dialogue, and visual effects don't allow for it to live up to its potential.” – Next Best Picture Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% 9/10 EDIT “Great visual effects and acting by Brie Larson make for an enjoyable watch that embraces a confident and smart woman character, something rarely seen in this genre.” – Next Best Picture Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 61% 4/10 EDIT “A poorly developed script combined with directing that feels designed for younger audiences leaves not much to be enjoyed outside of the visuals.” – Next Best Picture Feb 7, 2019 Full Review The Kid Who Would Be King (2019) 90% 7/10 EDIT “[Director] Joe Cornish managed to tick almost all the boxes when he made The Kid Who Would Be King.” – Next Best Picture Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Last Jedi is Disney's best contribution to the Star Wars canon so far and we can only hope that the final film of this trilogy will live up to the new standard.” – Substream Magazine Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) 88% 9/10 EDIT “Despite its minor weaknesses, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a great expansion on the original concept and for those who are willing and able to embrace the setup it will be a thoroughly enjoyable experience.” – Next Best Picture Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Smallfoot (2018) 76% 6/10 EDIT “It may not become a classic but it is still a fun watch.” – Next Best Picture Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Ferdinand (2017) 70% EDIT “On the surface, Ferdinand is a pleasant and easy film to watch, with colorful characters and plenty of laughs to entertain young and old. It holds tightly to the positive messages it is trying to send...” – Substream Magazine Dec 21, 2018 Full Review They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) 99% 8/10 EDIT “If you have an interest in The Great War or would like to see the magic that Peter Jackson and his small crew worked with film stock that has existed for more than a century, They Shall Not Grow Old is well worth seeking out.” – Next Best Picture Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Aquaman (2018) 66% 6/10 EDIT “While Aquaman is one of the better DC films, it is still fairly uneven. It gives us a glimpse at a whole new mythos and makes the world of Atlantis feel ancient, creating a fantasy story that offers something different for DC fans” – Next Best Picture Dec 20, 2018 Full Review At Eternity's Gate (2018) 79% 7/10 EDIT “A gorgeous avante garde examination of Vincent van Gogh's life and work that explores the complex intersections of creativity, mental health, and internal experiences with its beautiful cinematography and dramatic score.” – Next Best Picture Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Green Book (2018) 77% 6/10 EDIT “The script has some funny moments and the relationship between Ali and Mortensen has a natural chemistry that draws in the viewer... Unfortunately, Green Book doesn't use it's full potential, as it softens its message.” – Next Best Picture Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Darkest Hour (2017) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “While Darkest Hour is an interesting examination of the first few weeks of Churchill's premiership, it suffers from its dedication to portraying him as a golden hero.” – Substream Magazine Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “The choice to make such a different story was a bold one, and it made for an exciting and fun film that has plenty of callbacks to Spidey's villains and the MCU while also feeling new and intriguing.” – Substream Magazine Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Despicable Me 3 (2017) 58% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despicable Me 3 is easy for young children to watch, but suffers from a lack of focused storytelling and an unwanted dedication to nostalgia.” – Substream Magazine Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017) 87% 4/5 EDIT “While the plot of Captain Underpants is a silly romp based on toilets and childhood rebellion, there is so much going on underneath the surface that it elevates the film from playful fun to very good.” – Substream Magazine Nov 9, 2018 Full Review
