Barbie (2023) 88% EDIT “Things end with an attempt to bring Barbie’s origin story full-circle, but the transition is clunky, and it suggests this was just supposed to be a Legally Blonde-style take on the Pinnochio tale all along. ” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Creed III (2023) 89% EDIT “Creed III’s success serves as inspiration in more ways than one. A lot of Black talent was behind this film, from production and execution to promotion, it’s been a busy week for Michael B. Jordan.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice May 29, 2023 Full Review Infinity Pool (2023) 87% EDIT “Infinity Pool is a masterful piece of satirical terror with startling neo-psychedelia sequences you won’t forget. It suggests that Cronenberg is not his father’s filmmaking clone, even if he enjoys plunging himself into the same grotesque waters.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Halloween Ends (2022) 40% EDIT “Other than these scenes, the best parts of the movie are spliced from the original film. Go watch that again instead or just wait til next year.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Dec 24, 2022 Full Review Terrifier 2 (2022) 87% EDIT “It was only in theaters but as of yesterday, it’s available to stream on any device via Screambox. Skip dinner before you watch and maybe shower and then go do something nice for humanity afterward?” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Dec 24, 2022 Full Review Studio 666 (2022) 56% EDIT “The hellish hijinx of 666 isnt for everyone, but its exactly the killer camp it was intended to be.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Master (2022) 75% EDIT “The racially-charged horror of Master made an impression last month, not so much because of its compelling story, but thanks to its strong performances. ” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Turning Red (2022) 95% EDIT “The film succeeds in conveying the emotional turbulence of adolescence and the burden women face once they realize theyre gonna bleed every month, but ultimately its a turn-off due to the mom character who is so over-the-top protective.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Fresh (2022) 82% EDIT “Fresh is a reminder that putting yourself out there in any form, especially if that entails trusting a stranger, can bite you in the ass. literally.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Licorice Pizza (2021) 90% EDIT “After a tough year, Licorice Pizza's bittersweet California-dreamy journey is a refreshing flashback for movie fans and it signals an auspicious new phase for Paul Thomas Anderson.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 20, 2021 Full Review The Velvet Underground (2021) 98% EDIT “From the gorgeous gloom of V.U.'s debut with Andy Warhol and Nico to the dissonant pop-art audaciousness of their follow-up White Light/White Heat, the story is one of inspiration and evolution” – L.A. Weekly Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Halloween Kills (2021) 38% EDIT “There's a lot that's not cool, nor very exciting: a chaotic and all-around unpleasant hospital mob against a mentally challenged person and a first responder/firefighter murder spree and other un-PC butchery of a kid” – L.A. Weekly Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Cinderella (2021) 41% EDIT “It's extremely entertaining: from the gorgeous costuming and sets to the musical numbers, and chart-topping hits from the '80s-present that work so well into the narrative, you'd think they were actually written for the movie.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 6, 2021 Full Review The Suicide Squad (2021) 90% EDIT “The social commentary might be blatant, but the over the top action and CGI-candy still leaves a bigger impression as a superhero movie is expected to these days.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Respect (2021) 68% EDIT “Respect transcends the typical music icon trajectory for something more intimate, conveying creativity, complexity and (super)-natural talent of the woman who made us all feel so good inside.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend (2020) 94% A EDIT “This novel, choose-as-you-go Kimmy Schmidt special is fun, but it also makes for some pressure, especially for hardcore fans who know that Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) doesn't always make the best choices on her own.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 9, 2021 Full Review Friends: The Reunion (2021) 67% EDIT “If anyone from the show is reading this, the reunion was nice, but no one needs a reboot, remake, revamp, re-imagining or regurgitative next-generation Friends project, at least not for a while.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 20, 2021 Full Review Here Today (2021) 46% EDIT “The dialog might elicit an eye-roll or two, and situational set-ups might be formulaic, but the actors are so committed and hence real, that we not only buy it all, we become beguiled by the back and forth between them to the very end.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Cruella (2021) 75% EDIT “The duality is in fact, the essence of the film, which aims to give its anti-heroine a relatable rationale for her provocations while still keeping her de-vil-ish. With fiendish performances and striking production, they more than succeed.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 14, 2021 Full Review The Sparks Brothers (2021) 95% EDIT “Even if you're not all that familiar with the duo Sparks, you're likely to finish the film with a giant smile on your face and not just because they were your "favorite band's favorite band," as the doc's tagline proclaims.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) 99% EDIT “Imagine Soul Train poured into a blender with Woodstock and you'll have an idea of the glimmering gem that is Summer of Soul.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Black Widow (2021) 79% EDIT “You don't have to be a Marvel uber-nerd to enjoy the latest "origin story" based movie starring Scarlett Johansson. In fact, it's so well done, you kinda don't even need to know anything about Marvel to be entertained on a face-value level.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Annabelle Comes Home (2019) 64% EDIT “Annabelle may be the most evil doll in horror right now, but so far anyways she still plays and slays old school style, and for this homecoming it works.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Yesterday (2019) 63% EDIT “Yesterday still succeeds thanks to the zestful pacing of director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) and effective performances by pretty much all the actors involved.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Trolls World Tour (2020) 72% B EDIT “Even more than the original, Trolls World Tour, is a rainbow-swathed, glitter-drenched escape from reality, and it provides the full-on fantastical at-home experience that many families are probably craving right now.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 26, 2020 Full Review
