Five Feet Apart
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-15
The movie is smartly paced, and Sprouse (“Riverdale”) and Richardson make for one of the more adorable pairs in recent films. You not only want what’s best for them, but believe it can actually happen.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Aftermath
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-14
The drama is a crude blend of history and pulpy romance, with maudlin performances from the two leads.Read entire review on New York Post -
Wonder Park
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-14
If Wonder Park were a carnival attraction, it would be the merry-go-round. The animated movie has animals, relentless positivity and the most predictable journey ever. You must be no more than 4 feet tall to ride this one.Read entire review on New York Post -
Triple Frontier
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-14
There are some zippy chase scenes and shootouts, and tension throughout. But the characters — especially the lethargic Affleck — make for more of a C-Team than an A-Team.Read entire review on New York Post -
Captain Marvel
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-05
What’s said to be Marvel’s most powerful superhero ever is served Melatonin by Larson. There is precious little texture or detail, ups and downs, or emotions of any kind in her performance. The character, even when kicking ass, is a total bore. Such as it is, the film’s best moments are provided by Jackson and a hilarious cat.Read entire review on New York Post -
Giant Little Ones
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-01
Both boys are good, and Kyle MacLachlan gives a tender turn as Franky’s gay dad. But the sheer amount of issues shoved in here is overpowering.Read entire review on New York Post -
Greta
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-03-01
Moretz, meanwhile, acts like Little Red Riding Hood talking to her conspicuously hairy grandma — impossibly naive, and therefore dull and unbelievable. She’s a solid actress, but she shines best in indies or in parts with real edge. Greta is a camp-fest.Read entire review on New York Post -
Apollo 11
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-02-27
Apollo 11 is foremost a tale of technology and humanity. It’s about a country that needed a figurative lift, and got it with a literal one.Read entire review on New York Post -
Fighting with My Family
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-02-14
Although the film is about Paige’s unlikely rise to TV stardom, what grabs us most is the eclectic Knight family running a scrappy professional wrestling gym on a shoestring. It might be the biggest missed reality-TV show opportunity ever.Read entire review on New York Post -
Alita: Battle Angel
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-02-13
By the end of this derivative, heartless mess, you’ll conclude that a garbage dump is exactly where writer-producer James Cameron’s new project belongs.Read entire review on New York Post -
What Men Want
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-02-12
Instead of smarts, we get farts. The movie is packed with gross body and sex humor, reductive characters (the gay assistant, the boss who should be fired) and delusions of insight. And Henson’s likable performance is so overblown, it could be sponsored by Red Bull.Read entire review on New York Post -
Isn't It Romantic
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-02-12
The movie is hysterical, and at just under 90 minutes, the gag never wears thin.Read entire review on New York Post -
Cold Pursuit
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-02-12
Cold Pursuit is stark and refreshing, like taking an icy swim with the Polar Bear Club. A jolt. The movie makes you want him to stay around for a while longer.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Upside
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-01-11
The Upside has a downside: We’ve seen it a million times before.Read entire review on New York Post -
Escape Room
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2019-01-04
It's not asking much that a thriller be scary or shocking. This one waffles between being predictable and absurd.Read entire review on New York Post -
Stan & Ollie
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2018-12-27
Nothing salacious, and no dropped bombs here. Stan & Ollie portrays the pair less as hot-headed collaborators than a bickering married couple.Read entire review on New York Post -
Bumblebee
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2018-12-19
The franchise’s greatest transformation yet: He’s made a pretty good movie.Read entire review on New York Post -
On the Basis of Sex
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2018-12-19
Here, Ginsburg is just an idea, a symbol — a meme.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Mule
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2018-12-13
The embarrassing drama — offensive, clunky, poorly written — sullies Eastwood’s storied legacy, and makes great actors such as Bradley Cooper and Dianne Wiest come off like amateurs.Read entire review on New York Post -
Mary Poppins Returns
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2018-12-12
This “Poppins” sequel has an entirely new score, with exactly none of the cherished songs from the great Julie Andrews movie. Once you accept that, you can move on — and enjoy the countless other joys this follow-up has to offer. It will be a jolly-er holiday with Mary Poppins Returns.Read entire review on New York Post
