Resident Evil – Welcome to Racoon City (*1/2) Here’s blood in your eye
This film is appreciable for it’s dedication for recreating the original stories. The problem is, the story is better when you are playing a video game at 3 a.m. all hopped up on Mountain Dew.
-
Antlers (****) earns our fears
The atmosphere is such that it gave me tangential nightmares the night I saw them. Not many films do this anymore.
-
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (***) – All you are is blind
If nothing esle, the movie gives us some depth to what feels like an incredibly trite characterization living in memory.
-
Scream (***1/2) is still Scream 5
The sins of this film are outweighed by a brisk pace and some pretty gruesome kills.
-
Morgan (**1/2) feels like a prelude
The film doesn’t hold up, but with perhaps a bit more story, it’s premise could be really something.
-
The 355 (***) We’re spies, asshole
It’s not easy to love this film. It’s relatively easy to like, just for the women’s talent alone.
-
The Matrix: Resurrections (***1/2) Old Code, Something New?
It wouldn’t hurt to show a single blade of grass growing in some dirt. All in good time, I suppose. Maybe part 5?
-
The Card Counter (****) is solid Schrader
Schrader is not everyone’s cup of tea. Some of us like our tea as dark as the blackest coffee on a cold, bleak morning.
-
Spider-man: No Way Home (*****) is the magic number
It does the almost impossible task of bringing together everything we’ve seen and opens the door to everything else we might see in the future.
-
Nightmare Alley (***1/2) Life is a Carnival
There are no surprises. Just misery in waiting.
