Predator: Badlands (2025) Danny Minton It is definitely a film geared towards teens, but then again, I was a teen when I saw the original Predator, and much could be considered the same then.

Frankenstein (2025) Danny Minton With true artistry in every frame, fantastic performances by the very talented cast, and a beautiful score by Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat, the movie is a stunning motion picture that will certainly be in contention for awards.

Nuremberg (2025) Danny Minton I was glad to see it and appreciated putting an image to what was formerly just something I briefly studied in college.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Danny Minton It’s a thoughtful film filled with deep and disturbing questions about what to do, how to do it and what does failure mean.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Danny Minton I’m very satisfied with what they’ve done here, and I really enjoyed having the living crap scared out of me again.

Superman (2025) Danny Minton ...he has created here a beautifully quirky picture, full of wonderful surprises and fantastically weird spectacles, all with a strong dose of humor.

C+
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Danny Minton It’s almost as if he didn’t write it himself (as I give him much too much credit to be this bad) but rather relied on AI to create such a sloppy screenplay.

F1 The Movie (2025) Danny Minton From the starting moments to the last, it is a big, bombastic, loud, over-the-top drama that you can’t take your eyes off of.

The Penguin Lessons (2024) Danny Minton Overall, the movie is both enjoyable and rewarding, and while it’s hard to believe something like this could have actually happened, it’s fun to learn that not only did it happen, but it was just as impactful to those who were part of it.

Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) Danny Minton This is the best film so far in 2025, and an indie that is definitely worthy of a night out at the movies.

Better Man (2024) Danny Minton I loved it so much I had to watch it again the next day, and now I can’t get the songs out of my head.

B-
Wolf Man (2025) Danny Minton It is effectively scary at times, with a few jump scares, but mostly a slow burn suspense as you know what is coming, but you don’t know how it will be delivered.
Posted Jan 15, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Monster Summer (2024) Danny Minton Gibson’s presence definitely gives the film some credibility (and watchability) and he doesn’t simply phone in his role here as you would expect.

A-
The Apprentice (2024) Danny Minton As a very large percentage of Americans, and the world, already dismiss the man as a vile and horrific human being, this project’s true goal, and success, is to serve as more of a villain origin story.

C
Jackpot! (2024) Danny Minton While the action is certainly there in spades, the one thing missing is comedy.
Posted Aug 15, 2024  Edit critic review
B
Alien: Romulus (2024) Danny Minton I’ve always loved the claustrophobic horror that Alien provides, and this one uses that to its advantage big time.

B+
Twisters (2024) Danny Minton By the end you get an even better Twister movie, with better action, better characters, and much better storytelling

B+
Fly Me to the Moon (2024) Danny Minton The chemistry between Johansson and Tatum is solid and the film comes off as really sweet, without being sappy in the least.
Posted Jul 12, 2024  Edit critic review
C
Despicable Me 4 (2024) Danny Minton I’m sure that Despicable Me 4 will make a decent box office, but much of its business is going to be from audience members who wish they were in another room while watching. So once again, we get a film that falls short when it really doesn’t have to.

B+
Kinds of Kindness (2024) Danny Minton Here he seems to be going back to a world that is left up to the audience to decide on its meaning and value. Is it about relationships? Is it about religion? There is nothing given easily here.

B+
Inside Out 2 (2024) Danny Minton Just like the first film, the subject matter will cause you to get very self-reflective, causing you to constantly find relatable memories and emotions to go along with what is on screen.

B
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) Danny Minton While I still can’t condone Smith’s notorious Oscar night shenanigans, I still found a way to enjoy his latest outing, leaving the theater with a bigger smile on my face than I thought would be possible for this project.

B-
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) Danny Minton ...it turns out to be a clever enough side story that feels like a good flashback sequence in a show where we know what happens next.

D
Haunted Mansion (2023) Danny Minton By the end of the chaotic mess, it just melts into a forgettable puddle of Disney stew as its one goal of giving relevance to the ride flushes down the toilet.

B+
Barbie (2023) Danny Minton ...portrays the message that men need women but women, most of the time, only need themselves, but I doubt most will be offended as the harshness is done in a loving and humorous manner that we men are not supposed to understand in the first place.

Oppenheimer (2023) Danny Minton In a year that has given us several great films, this one shines above the rest and is the strongest contender for the Oscar so far in 2023.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Danny Minton Tom Cruise has one heck of a screen presence and he truly puts his all into the picture.

Beau Is Afraid (2023) Danny Minton ...it is frightening, and at the same time equally fascinating.

West Side Story (2021) Danny Minton I found the movie to be an electrifying experience and am thankful I got to relive it in this fantastic new visionary creation.

Being the Ricardos (2021) Danny Minton Because there are so many narratives going on, the focus of the picture comes across as vague.

A+
In the Heights (2021) Danny Minton This is an event that deserves a big screen. Plus, they make you wear masks in theaters so no one will be able tell how much you are crying (and you will cry loads throughout).

On the Rocks (2020) Danny Minton While the story is fairly simple, the script is rather complex because of it.

B-
Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020) Danny Minton The human characters for some reason don't gel well with their animated counterparts, which at times puts out an awkward feel for such a big-budget movie with actors who are usually extremely convincing in these types of roles.

B+
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) Danny Minton Luckily for most of his victims this time around, he shows them to be real humans who, while maybe flawed, are still capable of showing love and friendship to strangers and even *gasp* deranged foreigners.

B-
Emperor (2020) Danny Minton This version of the story feels rushed at 99 minutes, and by the end it is too apparent that this is a highlights reel rather than the historical epic it might deserve.

Boys State (2020) Danny Minton It is both deeply funny, yet also frightening, as you see what could be the future leaders of America and how much trouble we could be in if underhanded tricks and propaganda keep working on those casting their votes.

The One and Only Ivan (2020) Danny Minton What I thought might end up a train wreck, wound up to be a sweet surprise.

Unhinged (2020) Danny Minton This is a monster movie, with Crowe playing a creature almost like a land-locked Jaws, bound and determined to wreak mindless havoc and chaos to destroy the life of a single person, without any regard for his own.

La llorona (2019) Danny Minton The storytelling really stands out here and the acting truly enhances the flow as the performances are both organic and gut-wrenching.

The Secret Garden (2020) Danny Minton I'm not sure we needed this reimagining, as it wasn't nearly imaginative enough to stake its claim.

Rebuilding Paradise (2020) Danny Minton The end result is a movie not about the fire, but rather about what it takes to survive and overcome an ordeal in modern America.

Hamilton (2020) Danny Minton While there is nothing like the joy of seeing it live, this particular version is breathtakingly spectacular and captivating, allowing you to take in all of its greatness and raw emotion without having to take out a second mortgage on your home.

Onward (2020) Danny Minton While I could have waited until April 3 to see it free (as part of my Disney+ subscription), I decided it was worth $20 to purchase, just to support the industry while they are so desperately hurting.

The Invisible Man (2020) Danny Minton I still feel the trailer showed way too much of the plot, but there is more here than you expect and the scares and chills are frequent and effective.

Yesterday (2019) Danny Minton While the film is not perfect, it is a true joy to watch and sure to be a huge crowd-pleaser once audiences start falling in love with it.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) Danny Minton Will you understand the Pokemon universe after watching it? No - and trust me - you don't want to. But you should have an appreciation of it when all is said and done, and also a greater tolerance to their strange little world.

Penguins (2019) Danny Minton I never grow tired of experiencing the wonders of God's universe and this documentary is a prime example of just how strange and beautiful even the most remote parts of our planet can be.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018) Danny Minton You are Constance Wu as she experiences extreme culture shock, not of race, but of money. You feel the tension upon her first exposure and you can't help but empathize with her fear, love, joy, confusion, heartbreak and determination.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) Danny Minton The problem here lies in a script full of head-scratching plot points that depends on an audience not overthinking it.

Incredibles 2 (2018) Danny Minton Pixar here does a perfect job of juggling story, thrills and laughs in a way that keeps you majorly engaged and entertained for two straight hours.
