Flight of the Conchords: Live in London (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Offers an uncomplicated, comforting sort of joy that feels even more special today than it did a decade ago.” – Vox Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Teen Titans GO! to the Movies (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Meta comedy is the fuel that makes these Teen Titans go. In this respect, the film often plays more like an all-ages version of the recent Deadpool movies.” – Vox Jul 26, 2018 Full Review The Incredible Jessica James (2017) 88% 3/5 EDIT “In Williams's hands, Jessica James becomes a diamond-sharp protagonist, and the only defining feature of an otherwise formless movie.” – Vox Jul 28, 2017 Full Review Baby Driver (2017) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Baby Driver finds Wright directly in his wheelhouse -- reverently and knowingly deploying genre tropes with visual style and musical panache -- and his enthusiasm is apparent in each and every frame.” – Vox Jun 27, 2017 Full Review Rough Night (2017) 45% 3.5/5 EDIT “Rough Night manages to surprise again and again, in its go-for-broke comedic approach.” – Vox Jun 15, 2017 Full Review The Fate of the Furious (2017) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “The Fate of the Furious is more of a plateau, albeit a reasonably high one.” – Vox Apr 13, 2017 Full Review The Red Turtle (2016) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's a beautiful example of what animation as a medium is capable of, of what it can achieve that live-action storytelling cannot.” – Vox Jan 27, 2017 Full Review Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) 78% EDIT “Bridget may have gotten older and wiser, but her movies have stayed the same.” – Vox Sep 19, 2016 Full Review Jem and the Holograms (2015) 22% 1/5 EDIT “Jon M. Chu's weaksauce adaptation of the 1980s Hasbro toy turned cartoon not only fails resoundingly as a film, it also fails as a nostalgia piece -- which, honestly, might be the greater sin in today's pop cultureverse.” – Vox Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Ted 2 (2015) 45% 1.5/5 EDIT “Ted 2 is a repetitive, self-congratulatory slog, dragged down by a haphazard plot and the same third-act problems that ultimately sunk the first film.” – The Dissolve Jul 1, 2015 Full Review Spy (2015) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The comedic chemistry between Feig and McCarthy is old news, but here, they show they still have something new, and maybe even important, to offer between the laugh-lines.” – The Dissolve Jun 4, 2015 Full Review The True Cost (2015) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “Heavy on talking heads and Morgan's stilted narration, The True Cost is methodical to a fault, plodding purposefully from one damning insight to the next.” – The Dissolve May 26, 2015 Full Review Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Pitch Perfect 2 is a "heated mess," in spite of a handful of transcendent moments and a lot more just-okay ones.” – The Dissolve May 14, 2015 Full Review The Age of Adaline (2015) 55% 3.5/5 EDIT “Age Of Adaline rewards viewers who buy into its ludicrous premise with a frequently beautiful, occasionally stirring cinematic trinket.” – The Dissolve Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Monkey Kingdom (2015) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Everything Monkey Kingdom lacks in scientific rigor, it makes up for in pure entertainment value-and then some.” – The Dissolve Apr 16, 2015 Full Review Dior and I (2014) 85% 4/5 EDIT “For all its grand statements about artistry and identity, it's most effective as a study of the hard work, both physical and emotional, that goes into creating something new.” – The Dissolve Apr 8, 2015 Full Review Furious 7 (2015) 81% 4/5 EDIT “James Wan embraces the series' visual hallmarks with what translates to unencumbered glee onscreen.” – The Dissolve Apr 2, 2015 Full Review Home (2015) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Home's incongruously humble vibe works well for what's at heart a buddy road movie.” – The Dissolve Mar 26, 2015 Full Review The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) 29% 1/5 EDIT “It delves even deeper into the poorly considered mythology, building action beats and moments of tension around a conceit that puts easy allegory ahead of logic or coherence.” – The Dissolve Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Cinderella (2015) 84% 2.5/5 EDIT “This new Cinderella tells more or less the same tale with little variation in terms of story (fair enough), tone (problematic), or characterization (very problematic).” – The Dissolve Mar 11, 2015 Full Review The DUFF (2015) 73% 3/5 EDIT “For all its potential pitfalls, The DUFF manages to keep its head above water, thanks to Whitman, Amell, and a willingness to engage with teen-movie clichs in a relatively thoughtful way.” – The Dissolve Feb 19, 2015 Full Review 4/5 EDIT “Vessel is much more than a documentary about abortion rights; it's about the conviction, creativity, and sacrifice that goes into creating a movement.” – The Dissolve Jan 9, 2015 Full Review Into the Woods (2014) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Outside of some delightful performances from bona fide movie stars, there's little in Marshall's Into The Woods to justify the leap to the big screen.” – The Dissolve Jan 5, 2015 Full Review Annie (2014) 28% 3/5 EDIT “The transition from the familiar 1930s Annie to 2014's Annie isn't always graceful, but it is often fun, in a flashy, chaotic sort of way.” – The Dissolve Dec 19, 2014 Full Review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (2014) 70% 4/5 EDIT “It's a well-executed, occasionally daring exploration of war, propaganda, and guilt that's easy to watch, but occasionally difficult to stomach.” – The Dissolve Nov 20, 2014 Full Review
