Dumbo (2019) 46% D+ EDIT “The original animated classic was 64 minutes long. Tim Burton's Dumbo is almost twice as long - and less than half as much fun. Dumbo is too long, too short and has too many half-drawn characters.” – Eclipse Magazine Mar 30, 2019 Full Review A Simple Favor (2018) 84% A- EDIT “A Simple Favor is sneaky smart tale of intellectual and emotional bobbing and weaving and is a hugely entertaining movie that doesn't want to say anything or revolutionize thrillers. It just wants to be entertaining.” – Eclipse Magazine Sep 16, 2018 Full Review Peppermint Candy (2000) 86% A- EDIT “Riley North makes The Punisher look like a wimp!” – Eclipse Magazine Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Peppermint (2018) 13% A- EDIT “Riley North makes The Punisher look like a wimp.” – Eclipse Magazine Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Logan Lucky (2017) 92% A EDIT “Review Tatum and Craig get a chance to have some real fun in this southern fried heist movie.” – Eclipse Magazine Aug 20, 2017 Full Review Baby Driver (2017) 92% A+ EDIT “This year's movie of the summer might just be Edgar Wright's ferocious ride, Baby Driver. This is an film meant to be experienced, not just watched. It's glaring flaws don't really matter.” – Eclipse Magazine Jul 2, 2017 Full Review Get Out (2017) 98% A EDIT “Smart, witty, original and funny on a number of levels. It is the rare horror film that wouldn't merely benefit from a second viewing, it practically screams for one.” – Eclipse Magazine Feb 24, 2017 Full Review The Space Between Us (2017) 17% B EDIT “The Space Between Us doesn't exactly soar but it gets there. It may not be a blockbuster, but it is an effective teen romance with just enough science fiction to keep it feeling fresh.” – Eclipse Magazine Feb 3, 2017 Full Review In the Heart of the Sea (2015) 42% B- EDIT “Barely floats, buoyed by a cast that rises above the material and the effects. Without top notch work on both fronts, the film sinks faster than the Essex.” – Eclipse Magazine Dec 11, 2015 Full Review Alice (2010) 22% D EDIT “Wonderland is meant to be colorful, but it comes off as mostly grey.” – Eclipse Magazine Mar 8, 2013 Full Review WALL-E (2008) 95% A+ EDIT “WALL*E is the best film of the year - let alone the summer - so far. Easily.” – Eclipse Magazine Jun 29, 2008 Full Review The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) 63% B EDIT “The Forbidden Kingdom may not be a classic martial arts movie, but it's got heart, a certain sneaky charm and more than enough pure fun to make up for that.” – Eclipse Magazine Apr 18, 2008 Full Review Rocket Science (2007) 84% EDIT “Whatever he does next, [Blitz] has already achieved a measure of greatness with this quiet, odd truthful little gem of a film.” – Eclipse Magazine Feb 27, 2008 Full Review Across the Universe (2007) 53% A- EDIT “For Beatles fans this is a must see event.” – Eclipse Magazine Sep 30, 2007 Full Review The Kingdom (2007) 51% D EDIT “The Kingdom is a slick action flick masquerading as a statement movie. Despite a great cast and high production values it fails on both terms because of a wrong-headed in the third act.” – Eclipse Magazine Sep 30, 2007 Full Review Eastern Promises (2007) 90% A EDIT “This film leads us to wonder how far we would go to do the right thing in such circumstances - all the while entertaining us with his dark humor, intense characterizations and moments of explosive violence.” – Eclipse Magazine Sep 23, 2007 Full Review Ratatouille (2007) 96% B+ EDIT “Given the rather nasty PR the rodents get, the idea of a rat working in a kitchen would have to be considered creepy. It's a Ridiculous Premise but a Delightful Movie.” – Eclipse Magazine Jul 1, 2007 Full Review Live Free or Die Hard (2007) 82% A EDIT “Die Hard is the best action film of the year.” – Eclipse Magazine Jul 1, 2007 Full Review Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) 38% B+ EDIT “The first Fantastic Four was a bit clunky, and a bit awkward but still managed to be a lot of fun. Now free from all that ponderous origin exposition - whips through its ninety-two minutes with action, effects and some genuine family character moments.” – Eclipse Magazine Jun 18, 2007 Full Review Mr. Brooks (2007) 56% B- EDIT “Simply put, Mr. Brooks is a deeply flawed thriller. It has more than enough winning moments in its darkly twisted and comic undercurrents, and a couple of terrific jump moments. Pitting jewels against flaws, the movie is worth seeing %u2013 though it's a” – Eclipse Magazine Jun 1, 2007 Full Review Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) 43% B+ EDIT “With Spider-Man's history and Shrek's brilliant comedy and satirical look at conspicuous consumerism, why is it that a movie based on a Disney ride is the only one of this summer's threequels to live up to surpass expectations?” – Eclipse Magazine May 26, 2007 Full Review 28 Weeks Later (2007) 73% A- EDIT “Like 28 Days Later, the sequel approaches Romero-like brilliance at moments - more than enough to make this one of the best zombie movies ever made.” – Eclipse Magazine May 12, 2007 Full Review Delta Farce (2007) 5% D EDIT “If Delta Farce had been released before Hot Fuzz it might have stood a chance. Instead, the smart parody was released first, leaving this second-rate, remarkably unfunny movie to wallow in its dust.” – Eclipse Magazine May 12, 2007 Full Review The Last Mimzy (2007) 55% B- EDIT “Winning performances from everyone played by Michael Duncan Clarke go a long way to overcoming the deficiencies of the script.” – Eclipse Magazine Mar 23, 2007 Full Review Shooter (2007) 47% B EDIT “If you're looking for a reasonably intelligent action flick - where the body count is high and stuff blows up real good, but it kind of makes sense, anyway - Shooter could be just what the doctor ordered.” – Eclipse Magazine Mar 23, 2007 Full Review
