3/5
Death Race 2000 (1975) Stuart Galbraith Though not quite a homerun, Death Race 2000 is '70s drive-in exploitation at its near-finest.

3.5/5
At Long Last Love (1975) Stuart Galbraith Ultimately, the picture doesn't quite gel like it should, but neither is it anywhere near as bad as its reputation would suggest. It's witty and on several technical levels quite daring.

3/5
The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) Stuart Galbraith Fair-to-middling at best, The Prisoner of Second Avenue is dated and at times labored, but not without interest. Some of it is very well done, other aspects don't work.

Violent Night (2022) Jeff Nelson Violent Night is a jolly good time wrapped in glorious barbarity.

Sick (2022) Jeff Nelson Sick is a white-knuckle thrill ride with no shortage of adrenaline-pumping suspense.

4.5/5
No Time to Die (2021) Jeff Nelson No Time to Die is utterly cinematic. It's strong storytelling with big action set pieces that will leave you breathless...No Time to Die sets its sights on giving Craig's Bond era the goodbye it deserves.

2.5/5
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) Jeff Nelson There are some great moments sprinkled throughout the movie, but it simply tries to do too much within its short 90-minute runtime.

1/5
Dear Evan Hansen (2021) Jeff Nelson Dear Evan Hansen has an outdated perception of anxiety, depression, and suicide. It's shocking that this movie even got the green-light in this day and age. Dear Evan Hansen is manipulative, loathsome, and insulting.

3/5
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021) Jeff Nelson The Eyes of Tammy Faye is proof that Chastain is one of the best actors working in Hollywood today.

1.5/5
Annette (2021) Jeff Nelson The film often goes out of its way to avoid the audience ever forming any emotional connection with its story or its characters. Annette is a hard slog of pretentious and tedious storytelling.

Don't Breathe 2 (2021) Jeff Nelson Don't Breathe 2 won't have you holding your breath like the last one did.

Jungle Cruise (2021) Jeff Nelson Jungle Cruise is passable light-hearted family entertainment.

Old (2021) Jeff Nelson Old delivers on its buildup of tension, although it struggles to engage on a dramatic level.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) Jeff Nelson Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is entertaining, albeit flawed.

Pig (2021) Jeff Nelson Pig is the type of controlled and elevated drama that sticks with you.

2/5
The Forever Purge (2021) Jeff Nelson The Forever Purge broke some of its own rules in the same way that it breaks the rules of the Purge itself.
Posted Feb 12, 2022  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Black Widow (2021) Jeff Nelson After fans have been waiting so long for Black Widow to get a solo film, it feels like a bit of a letdown for her to get overshadowed by a new character in her own film.

3.5/5
Zola (2020) Jeff Nelson Paige and Keough are both stand-outs with how they handle the dramatic elements and the story's sense of humor. Even with its blemishes, Zola is wildly entertaining.

3.5/5
Luca (2021) Jeff Nelson Luca is a sweet and lighthearted delight that will bring you back to the days of summer vacation and childhood friendship.

In the Heights (2021) Jeff Nelson In the Heights is a musical dream that hits just right for the upcoming summer season.

3/5
Censor (2021) Jeff Nelson Censor is a solid debut from Bailey-Bond. It feels like an arthouse B-movie that embraces both parts of its identity through its captivating visuals, immersive score, and strong performance from Algar.

1.5/5
Shadows and Lies (2010) Jason Bailey Anania seems to have directed his actors to contemplate and reflect on every thing they say, before and after they say it, so they're up there doing all this damned acting, and we're checking our watches.

3/5
(undefined) Jason Bailey The material (for the most part) is solid, but his ace timing and delivery help seal the deal

4/5
Robin Williams: Live on Broadway (2002) Aaron Beierle A few flat jokes on topics covered a bit too much already aside, Williams is in top form here, riffing on a series of topics and coming up with some unexpectedly hilarious gags.
Posted Aug 06, 2019  Edit critic review
(undefined) Jason Bailey The obviousness of George Lopez's concepts and construction, and the easy stereotyping of his laugh lines, wouldn't matter if the material was funny... Tall, Dark, and Chicano just isn't funny.

3.5/5
Wanda Sykes: I'ma Be Me (2009) Jason Bailey Wanda Sykes: I'ma Be Me is the funniest stand-up special in many a moon, an uproariously enjoyable performance by one of our most gifted and irreverent comediennes.
Posted Aug 02, 2019  Edit critic review
Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted? (2009) Jason Bailey Swardson, as a comic personality, is funnier than his middling material.
Posted Aug 01, 2019  Edit critic review
Bob Saget: That's What I'm Talkin' About (2013) Bill Gibron Those who know what to expect will gladly soak up Saget's scat. Everyone else will see it as shock for shock's sake, nothing more.

4/5
Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger (2008) Jason Bailey Rock tackles a number of subjects here, both new and old, but he makes the greatest hay out of the then-upcoming presidential election. This is a bit of a mixed blessing... though most is funny enough that it doesn't matter.

3/5
Gabriel Iglesias: Aloha Fluffy (2013) Ryan Keefer It has its moments, but he seems to be another in a line of comedians who does work exclusively for his fans
Posted Jul 26, 2019  Edit critic review
Jim Gaffigan - King Baby (2008) Jason Bailey His act is smart and relatable, while his eschewing of profanity and adult topics is certainly a plus for some viewers.
Posted Jul 26, 2019  Edit critic review
5/5
Nashville (1975) Stuart Galbraith Robert Altman's Nashville, one of the best films of the 1970s, is a divisive, inarguably indulgent film, but also one uniquely experimental and prophetic.

3.5/5
X-Men (2000) Geoffrey Kleinman What makes X-men an enjoyable film is the really fine work from many of the actors.

(undefined) Bill Gibron You know you've made it when everyone wants to tease - and among the many mockeries, Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode II is the best.

4/5
Grey Gardens (2009) Jason Bailey I was stunned by the uncanny accuracy of the scenes related to that original film; the set and prop reproductions, the re-enactment of scenes from the documentary, and the make-up and costuming of Barrymore and Lange is simply stunning.

3/5
Where Eagles Dare (1969) Jason Bailey As with Kelly's Heroes, Where Eagles Dare pulls itself together best in its third act
Posted Jul 08, 2017  Edit critic review
Dead Again (1991) Jason Bailey His film is both a good mystery movie and a good movie-movie; its sheer "movieness" is what gives the picture its kick. As his career progressed, Branagh may very well have made better films than 'Dead Again.' But he never made another one this fun.
Posted Sep 03, 2016  Edit critic review
Imperium (2016) Jason Bailey The primary accomplishment of 'Imperium,' an otherwise middling undercover fed movie, is to remind us there are as many styles of racists as there are, well, colors in the rainbow.

4/5
Who Is Henry Jaglom? (1996) Stuart Galbraith Whether you love or loathe Jaglom's movies or have yet to test the waters, Who Is Henry Jaglom? is a hugely entertaining documentary that serves as a good introduction to the filmmaker and his methods.
Posted Aug 10, 2016  Edit critic review
Mr. Right (2015) Jason Bailey "I wanna do something terrible!" Kendrick announces early in the film, and she at least did that - she did 'Mr. Right.'
Posted Jul 09, 2016  Edit critic review
Free State of Jones (2016) Jason Bailey 'Free State of Jones' is, on a surface level, perfectly acceptable: handsomely mounted, reasonably well-executed, sensitively acted. But at the service of what?
Posted Jun 24, 2016  Edit critic review
Enough Said (2013) Jason Bailey On its own, 'Enough Said' is a sweet and charming little movie - but there's no question the loss of its beloved leading man lends the picture extra, unexpected pathos.
Posted Jun 19, 2016  Edit critic review
Howard the Duck (1986) Jason Bailey The first big-screen adaptation of a Marvel comic book makes their subsequent films seem like the flowers that bloom beneath a heavy load of dense fertilizer.
Posted Jun 18, 2016  Edit critic review
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) Jason Bailey The Lonely Island's 'Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping' feels very much like an 86-minute 'SNL' Digital Short, which is both a compliment and a complaint.
Posted Jun 06, 2016  Edit critic review
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Jason Bailey Several thrilling action sequences, a great many good jokes, and an unshakable sense that everybody is just going through the paces.
Posted May 28, 2016  Edit critic review
The Hunter (2011) Jason Bailey It's a character study, for the most part, allowing the complications and relationships to puncture the narrative only when they have finally penetrated the man.
Posted Apr 09, 2016  Edit critic review
Virginia (2010) Jason Bailey It's a hard picture to pin down--it has the raw materials for a big, dumb farce, but it stakes out a claim in altogether more interesting territory.
Posted Apr 09, 2016  Edit critic review
Derailroaded (2005) Bill Gibron While heartbreaking and indirectly depressing, Derailroaded: Inside the Mind of Larry "Wild Man" Fischer is also a very fine documentary indeed.

2.5/5
Jupiter Ascending (2015) Jamie S. Rich Jupiter Ascending is them making a big-screen, live-action bouillabaisse of all the Japanese cartoons they adore and having a grand old time.

4/5
Leviathan (2014) Jamie S. Rich Zvyagintsev is more concerned with letting his audience settle into the lives of his characters than he is the more conventional happenings of the script outline.
