Shazam!
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-23
Shazam! is basically two movies in one. One with Levi and his wiseass foster brother (a fresh Jack Dylan Grazer), the other with Strong and all his snarling, computer-generated gobbledygook. And they both have the other in a headlock, wrestling for the soul of the story. I loved one, yawned through the other.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Dirt
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-22
It’s cartoonish, fast-paced, a bit cheesy, and ridiculously dumb fun.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Us
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-20
Fans of Get Out, Peele’s brilliant, mind-bending 2017 debut, may feel vaguely let down that his follow-up is, for all of its sly humor and high style, a fairly straightforward genre piece, and that its bigger ideas and metaphors don’t feel quite fully baked.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Aftermath
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-14
Sadly, director James Kent’s sappy and utterly unconvincing new film The Aftermath shows that even the most foolproof ideas wither in the face of turgid, overripe melodrama.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Five Feet Apart
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-14
It’s just another three-hankie teen weepie, albeit one with the saving grace of another excellent Haley Lu Richardson performance that gooses the film just past serviceable into the realm of slightly better than average.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Highwaymen
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-14
The Highwaymen is a leisurely ride with a pair of actors who know how to do a lot by not doing too much. It won’t reinvent cinema the way that "Bonnie and Clyde" once did. But it’s a ride worth taking nonetheless.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Apollo 11
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-08
The NASA mission at the heart of the must-see documentary Apollo 11 reminds you what it feels to be truly awestruck.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Triple Frontier
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-06
There may be no honor among thieves, but Triple Frontier certainly makes watching them pretty entertaining.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Captain Marvel
A review by Darren Franich for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-05
Captain Marvel only figures itself out toward the end, when a couple twists I won’t spoil sharpen the spanning saga into a motley-crew errand of mercy.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Hole in the Ground
A review by Dana Schwartz for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-01
The Hole in the Ground never seeks to differentiate itself from the established horror movie aesthetic: we get creepy jangling lullaby music, a decrepitly old hooded women mumbling to herself ominously, bare feet on creaking wooden floors, broken mirrors.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Greta
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-01
A loony psychodrama so steeped in winking, twinkly-toed camp that it almost (almost!) escapes the leaden tropes of the genre.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Mustang
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-01
First-time feature filmmaker Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre brings a gorgeous, wide-open sparseness to her visual storytelling (it makes sense that Robert Redford, the original Sundance Kid, is listed as an executive producer), but it’s largely Schoenaerts’ movie to carry.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Gloria Bell
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-01
Moore — vulnerable but undauntable — lives every moment in her skin, fantastic to the last glorious frame.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
The Wedding Guest
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-03-01
The phrase “low-key thriller” might be an oxymoron, but it also feels like the best description of The Wedding Guest.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Paddleton
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-02-20
Thanks to two pitch-perfect performances, Paddleton is bittersweet and poignant beyond words.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Isn't It Romantic
A review by Dana Schwartz for Entertainment Weekly2019-02-12
Isn’t It Romantic pulls off a sweet sleight-of-hand trick as a rom-com-within-a-rom-com, mocking all of the classic rom-com tropes while still letting us indulge in them. The movie is having its gourmet cupcake and eating it too.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Happy Death Day 2U
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-02-12
Look, no one is expecting much from a movie called Happy Death Day 2U. Certainly not air-tight logic. But this chapter feels phoned in. And unless you’re really, really desperate for a new horror movie to check out, you might want to think twice about accepting the charges.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
High Flying Bird
A review by Chris Nashawaty for Entertainment Weekly2019-02-06
Written by Oscar-winning Moonlight screenwriter Tarell Alvin McCraney, the new film feels stagey, confusing, and didactically obvious. You can tell that it was written by a playwright (which McCraney was and is).Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Fighting with My Family
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2019-02-05
Most of Fighting’s narrative moves are as choreographed as any undercard match — and the outcome as clearly forecast — but the tears brought on by the movie’s last ten minutes of rhinestoned Rocky triumph taste salty, and real.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -
Alita: Battle Angel
A review by Darren Franich for Entertainment Weekly2019-01-31
This manga adaptation is a tired science-fiction odyssey, with bland digital effects piled onto a sappy non-story that feels like a two-hour elevator pitch for a 70-film franchise.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly
