“Patel's performance does nothing to suggest Jack deserves to be a global superstar, best songs of all time or not. There is a job for gifted writers with tremulous voices; they're called songwriters.” –

“Check your grounded Harrison Ford-era action ideals at the door: this is the biggest and most bonkers John Wick yet.” –

“A rags-to-custom-caftans story that holds universal appeal, whether you know your Badgley Mischka from your Mischa Barton or not.” –

EDIT
“Rothe was a standout in last year's horror comedy Happy Death Day, but the Denver-born actor's performance here as Josie is as coolly bland as overnight oats.” –

“The best horror movies leave the most frightening elements to an audience's imagination. Leatherface is not one of those movies.” –

Happy Death Day (2017)

3/4
EDIT
“What makes Death Day feel so fresh is that this is all played with a whopper of a wink, pulled off by the considerable comedic talents of star Jessica Rothe, who successfully juggles the horror/comedy mash-up.” –

“Most of the film feels like an exercise in creating enough plot to hit the 90-minute mark.” –

EDIT
“Muschietti's It strikes a nice balance between sleepover-ready gross-outs (tiptoeing through raw sewage, for example) and tender coming-of-age storytelling.” –

Step (2017)

3.5/4
EDIT
“What the film lacks in actual music and performance (only a snippet of Beyonc's "Formation"?), it makes up for in intimate interviews with the Lethal Ladies and their mothers, who are doing their best to give their daughters a better life.” –

The Black Prince (2017)

1.5/4

“The Black Prince may follow the formula of a prestige pic, but this messy film just shows why those truly stirring historical dramas deserve the awards season glory they get.” –

“Perhaps worst of all are the limited expectations Coppola has for her own heroine. It's hard to love a movie where a woman finds herself from the passenger seat.” –

“Jacobs has delivered a two-handed character study and, in this mission, he is handily assisted by his two powerful leads.” –

“While the footage is breathtaking, these animal tales get wobblier every year at walking the line between educational fun and hard-to-swallow stories of animals acting out human narratives.” –

Saban's Power Rangers (2017)

“You can picture the pitch: if you sort-of liked Power Rangers when it was half recycled footage, wait until you see a version that costs over a hundred million dollars!” –

EDIT
“When Hollywood casts a dog as the lead in a movie, it's pretty much always because there is a sappily inspirational tale to be told. And that, as they say, is A Dog's Purpose.” –

The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

3/4
EDIT
“While teenage tropes are dutifully checked off - the love triangle, the makeover, the party gone wrong - there's originality to Nadine's lonely quest to find her place, only to ultimately learn she's not alone in being all alone.” –
