A Quiet Place

Don’t watch this in theaters if there’s a chance of your friends saying a word.

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.

Bad Times at the El Royale

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

I Feel Pretty

A sweet confidence booster that’ll leave you entertained and altogether just pretty darn happy.

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.

Bohemian Rhapsody

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

Hotel Artemis

Welcome to Hotel Dystopia. You can check it out anytime you like, but you’ll never leave.

Isle of Dogs

A quirky animated adventure as epic as it is adorable.

Smallfoot

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

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 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.

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

Does this mean superheroes are finally disappearing?

Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 tastes much better than your average slice of leftover pizza.

Polar

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.

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.

The Cool Kids: 1x01 Pilot

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

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.

The Predator

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

Stuber

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

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.

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.

BlacKkKlansman

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

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

A worthy spoof, like watching four episodes of the Cartoon Network series.

The Spy Who Dumped Me

SNL’s Kate McKinnon is the main attraction of this movie. While she needs more time to adjust to the big screen, she still leaves you begging for more. Seen at a press screening at the ArcLight Hollywood
