The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-06-17
The characters are so wacky you don’t believe them as killers or strategists or even just bystanders who are in the right place at the right time. You simply don’t buy anything about them. Ever.Read entire review on New York Post -
Luca
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-06-17
For the most part, though, Luca is light and effervescent as a summertime Bellini, which is something parents can drink while the kids watch this.Read entire review on New York Post -
In the Heights
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-06-10
Trust me — it’s been ages since you’ve seen actors have this much fun in a movie.Read entire review on New York Post -
Spirit Untamed
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-06-03
I’d rather put Baby Shark on repeat all day than spend another 90 minutes with this adult horse.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-06-03
Devil, make a better movie.Read entire review on New York Post -
Cruella
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-28
This film is so sexy and cool and punk rock, you forget all about that Mickey logo and Cinderella’s cutesy castle.Read entire review on New York Post -
A Quiet Place Part II
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-27
The hugely enjoyable second entry doesn’t lift the franchise to new artistic heights, a la The Empire Strikes Back, but Part II is every bit as good and scary as its predecessor, and the characters, especially the kids, go to deeper and braver places.Read entire review on New York Post -
Army of the Dead
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-21
When the massacre starts, the movie gets better. But the methods of murder are, like everything else, awfully self-serious and limited to mostly just plain old guns and knives.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Woman in the Window
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-13
The long-gestating thriller The Woman in the Window, based on A.J. Finn’s novel, is here, and it sure is dusty.Read entire review on New York Post -
Those Who Wish Me Dead
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-13
Despite being a She-Hulk who’s seemingly impervious to physical pain, Jolie turns in her best performance in a while — arguably in over a decade. She’s relaxed, determined and maternal here, and connects well with Little, who is a big talent.Read entire review on New York Post -
Here Today
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-06
Crystal, for what it’s worth, stays genuine through the increasingly viscous plot. He still has that warmth beneath his zingers that you don’t find in the frigid comedians of today. Nonetheless, we resent his movie’s aggressive efforts to force us into crying with strained, untruthful moments by the bucketful.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Water Man
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-06
Off-screen, Oyelowo moves the camera elegantly, and he creates a few cool moments in the woods.Read entire review on New York Post -
Wrath of Man
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-06
Wrath of Man isn’t as blatantly funny as “The Gentlemen” is, though it has its laughs, but it is taut and exhilarating without a single wasted moment.Read entire review on New York Post -
Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-04-29
Indeed, Clancy has written 20 books featuring John Clark. But, even with a star as charismatic and physically formidable as Jordan, audiences won’t be hungry for a single sequel.Read entire review on New York Post -
Things Heard & Seen
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-04-29
Things Heard & Seen is an adequate haunted-house film, to be sure, but it will certainly give you pause about that three-bedroom, three-bath listing in Kingston.Read entire review on New York Post -
Mortal Kombat
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-04-22
The action film is as unpretentious as Charlie Sheen eating a Krispy Kreme doughnut at Six Flags. In short: blissfully dumb entertainment.Read entire review on New York Post -
Vanquish
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-04-15
The fighting is unsatisfying, and renders the film a failure.Read entire review on New York Post -
Voyagers
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-04-08
Burger’s half-assed attempt at an updated Lord of the Flies makes you long for a good old-fashioned school bus and a pig’s head on a stick.Read entire review on New York Post -
Concrete Cowboy
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-04-01
Harp’s mix of old-school masculinity, love of animals and innate paternal instincts suits Elba perfectly. And unlike Nomadland, which also brought together real citizens with a Hollywood star (Frances McDormand), Elba fits easily and naturally into this group and their environment. It’s like a rider meeting the perfect horse.Read entire review on New York Post -
Godzilla vs. Kong
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-03-30
This time, ‘Zilla and Kong face off in ginormous Hong Kong — a destruction junkie’s dream battlefield. Neon, chrome and oversize animals clobbering each other. Also around is another adversary whose reveal will have fans drooling. See Godzilla vs. Kong on the big screen if you can.Read entire review on New York Post
