Mediocre flic. That score though!

Great screenplay: funny with a heart! Definitely worth a watch, especially if you like Diane Keaton.

Saw this at a college screening. Very entertaining, old-style action fun.

Enjoyable no brainer if you choose to go along for the ride! -- Seen at the Los Angeles premiere.

Isn't It Romantic

Just what you need for Valentine’s Day, a honey stew with a side order of BS—“you can’t love anyone until you love yourself.” Still, this movie is sweet enough to give anyone diabetes and other side-effects may include involuntary giggles and the occasional LOL moment. :) Verdict: Thoroughly enjoyable.

Saw this at a UCLA advance screening.

This is what would happen if Tarantino directed a movie after a lobotomy. Too bad for words. Terrible script, awful directing. Mindless bloodshed, stylized and DUMB.

Halloween

More than a simple homage, this honors the original and gives it a proper follow-up.

Aquaman

When you go see "Aquaman" in theaters, you can expect a stylish and entertaining CGI extravaganza.

Cold War

A breathtaking visual experience. One for the senses.

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle

So much better than the live-action Jungle Book Jon Favreau decided to have us suffer through in 2016. After Breathe in 2017, this makes two movies in a row where Andy Serkis did not disappoint as a director.

Who knew a cartoon could kick butt like this?!! WAM-KAPOOOOOW! A spectacular adventure filled with cool and funny moments. Seen at a UCLA advance screening.

Overlord

Watching this feels much like a video game walkthrough. Only that the characters are all very fleshed out, pun intended.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Rami Malek just won himself an Oscar. Don’t stop him now!

Suspiria

The forgettable younger sister of Black Swan. A bland Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton playing type, and one good performance by Mia Goth. The score and the choreography are more than solid, the cinematography is alright. The rest of the film is not even worth talking about: trash.

The Cool Kids: 1x01 Pilot

I always liked the British sitcom Waiting for God. Now, there‘s a U.S. version.

Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Lee Israel is not a very nice person... and yet she is kinda sympathetic. I feel similarly about the movie. It’s not a very good film, and yet you kinda spend a good time watching it.

The Hate U Give

Inequality and injustice are part of the daily condition for many people in this world. We need this film which takes time to address this fact. Overwhelmingly so. Honest, strong and beautiful.

First Man

An immersive experience that brings you close to this elusive and stoic character. Pretty long, yet thoroughly worth it.

Bad Times at the El Royale

If Tarantino and Edgar Wright had a baby... it would have been born at the El Royale.

Venom

Well worth watching. A lot of good action and thrills. Michelle Williams and Tom Hardy have zero chemistry. But that doesn’t matter much. Seen at the world premiere in Westwood.

Smallfoot

Altogether a very apt fairy tale about the benefits of being kept in the dark vs. the power of knowledge.

The Predator

If you’re into a lot of testosterone and no brain, this is your movie.

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society

Moving period piece romance about coming to terms with the past and moving on into a brighter future. Lily James is superb.

The Meg

I wouldn’t trust the bad rating on Rotten Tomatoes not your gut-instinct looking at the posters. This movie may not be the masterpiece of the year, but it sure packs some fun, and is not as one-dimensional as you might expect.

Colette

Colette was overdue for a first-class biopic. The film is aided by Keira Knightley’s stellar performance and this incredible true story. A pillar for French feminism, next: Alice Guy-Blachet.

Crazy Rich Asians

This is an absolute must-see fairy tale. Fireworks from start to finish!

The Miseducation of Cameron Post

2018 will likely be the year for the most notable movies about conversion therapy to date. With Boy Erased to come, Cameron Post set the bar pretty high. Not sure if boy can top girl on this one.

BlacKkKlansman

A sobering look at racism in America, entertaining and thought-provoking. The director of Do the Right Thing at his best!
