Annabelle Comes Home
A review by Darren Franich for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-24
Annabelle Comes Home is only a little scary, and too religiously dedicated to its own ongoing cash-printing megafranchise for big laughs. But the best moments in this low-key domestic horror film have a tossed-off quality, like the whole production cycle was a fun weekend for everybody.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Wild Rose
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-21
Director Tom Harper (War & Peace) aptly conveys the single-mindedness that a life of art requires, and the double standard applied to the women who pursue it at the cost of other, seemingly more essential things. But it’s Buckley, wild and free, who makes the movie sing.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Child's Play
A review by Christian Holub for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-20
By giving Chucky a reason to kill, the new movie’s arc can’t help but dilute his menace a bit.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Murder Mystery
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-17
Aniston and Sandler, paired before in 2011’s "Just Go With It," relax into their roles as if their only stake in Mystery is to enjoy the free trip to Italy and have fun running down cobblestones.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Dead Don't Die
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-15
It’s a film that lazily whistles past the graveyard as it brings that graveyard back to ravenous life.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-14
The Rolling Thunder Revue was Dylan’s personal magical mystery tour — and in Scorsese’s hands, there’s no shortage of magic or mystery.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Toy Story 4
A review by Darren Franich for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-13
Toy Story 4 doesn’t hit the emotional highs of the previous films. There are good jokes that work and heist setpieces that don’t. The ending is moving, though now you distrust any finality with this saga. It does feel a bit cheap, somehow.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Men in Black: International
A review by Darren Franich for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-12
International is better than Men in Black II and worse than Men in Black III, and they’re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Late Night
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-06
The best scenes in Late Night are consistently the ones where the movie’s main stars spar and banter and intermittently connect; two unlikely satellites smashing into each other’s orbits, and maybe finding themselves in the wreckage.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Secret Life of Pets 2
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-05
As 86-minute kids’ movies go, The Secret Life of Pets 2 is shockingly padded. It’s the same old dogs with no new tricks.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Dark Phoenix
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-04
For what is being called a final installment, it all tends to feel both anticlimactic and a little grim in the end.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Ask Dr. Ruth
A review for Entertainment Weekly2019-06-01
The new documentary Ask Dr. Ruth... seeks to give audiences an understanding of the extraordinary life that shaped this one-of-a-kind woman but falls short when it comes to digging beyond mere biography.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Always Be My Maybe
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-31
The stuff of a thousand future Twitter gifs, though, is a featured appearance by Keanu Reeves. It’s better not to know too much about his role going in, other than that nearly everything about it has the winking air quotes of a movie star playing directly to his own storied Hollywood history, and that it is for the most part ridiculously fun.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Ma
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-29
Even as the story descends into full bloody camp at its crescendo, Spencer holds the more ludicrous plot threads together.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-28
Before anyone reading this starts complaining that I just don’t get what movies like Godzilla: King of the Monsters are all about, that I’m the sort of killjoy who should just relax, let me say that it would be a lot easier to take it less seriously if the people who made the movie cared enough to take it more seriously.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Avengement
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-24
Director Jesse V. Johnson sprinkles in enough cruel twists of fate and melancholy-laced flashbacks to prevent Avengement from becoming just another disposable exercise in action sadism on a budget. The real credit, though, goes to Adkins, who one of these days will hopefully get called up to the Hollywood big leagues and wind up surprising a lot of people — and grin while he’s doing it.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Rocketman
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-24
Egerton’s whole-body commitment captures not just Elton’s outrageous physicality — in costume designer Julian Day’s hands, he’s essentially a one-man Mardi Gras — but his enduring sadness and insecurity (and the self-sabotaging behavior it was too often funneled through) without tipping into showbiz-tragedy cliché. He’s the starry-eyed cosmonaut the part demands, but merely, endearingly mortal too.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Brightburn
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-22
The movie is more or less all premise. The rest is just an occasionally suspenseful, occasionally gory sci-fi riff on any number of earthbound creepy-kid thrillers.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Aladdin
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-22
The ever-quickening half-life of pop culture has gotten so short that we’ve now officially entered the era of diminishing returns. It’s the new normal. What’s old is new again — but not quite as good as you remembered it. Aladdin is…fine, but it has no real reason for being beyond, you know, capitalism. A whole new world, it’s not.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Booksmart
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-05-22
If the storyline doesn’t so much unfold as burst out in glittery puffs — and if music cues seem to make up about 40 percent of the plot—it’s still an endearing kind of chaos.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly
