SUPERVIZED: Justice Beleaguered
SUPERVIZED: Justice Beleaguered

Despite enormous potential, Supervized misses the mark and makes fun of its subjects instead of making something memorable. Adam Mock reviews.

MY DAYS OF MERCY: Love Finds A Way

Heady problems My Days of Mercy’s characters through the wringer, but the clarity with which they are captured makes the difficult journey more poignant.

LONG SHOT: A Heartwarming & Fun Surprise
LONG SHOT: A Heartwarming & Fun Surprise

Long Shot is a tight, funny, and warm comedy with a ton of heart and two fantastic performances at its center.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM: Nobody Does Death Better
JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM: Nobody Does Death Better

With the most creative kills anywhere, a deeper mythology, and great additions to the cast, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is even more deadly and enjoyable.

FAST COLOR: Gugu Mbatha-Raw Will Save Us All

A rare superhero movie that highlights the ordinary alongside the extraordinary, Fast Color is a bold and breathtaking spin on the genre that deserves to be seen as widely as any movie released under the Marvel banner.

HELLBOY: A Violent, Trashy Reboot Devoid of Charm
HELLBOY: A Violent, Trashy Reboot Devoid Of Charm

 Hellboy is an unfortunate example of how a R-rated superhero film could go wrong. It’s violent, but to a fault, lacking humor, substance, or a compelling story to go along with it.

RED JOAN: A Political Thriller with No Interest in Politics
RED JOAN: A Political Thriller With No Interest In Politics

Red Joan is suffocatingly mediocre, a political thriller with no interest in the politics of the story, or anything remotely thrilling.

WE DIE YOUNG: JCVD Nostalgia Buoys a Glib Gangster Picture
WE DIE YOUNG: JCVD Nostalgia Buoys A Glib Gangster Picture

We Die Young has sporadic moments of action greatness, but feels overlong even with a brisk 90 minute runtime.

A MADEA FAMILY FUNERAL: Hallelujah! The Series is Over
A MADEA FAMILY FUNERAL: Hallelujah! The Series is Over

A Madea Family Funeral is a message we need to hear, but sadly, the Hallelujah’s don’t come until the credits.

THE KID: A Bland, Disjointed Take On A Classic Story
THE KID: A Bland, Disjointed Take On A Classic Story

The Kid, directed by Vincent D’Onofrio and written by Andrew Lanham, is a take on…

FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY: Swings Hard But Not A Total Knockout
FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY: Swings Hard But Not A Total Knockout

Fighting With My Family is a lovely little British gem and while it’s not perfect, Merchant shows admirable potential as a director.

THE VANISHING: A Slow, Occasionally Tense Exercise on Atmosphere
THE VANISHING: A Slow, Occasionally Tense Exercise On Atmosphere

Despite its eclectic performances, The Vanishing is a snail-paced buildup to real action and suspense that doesn’t have enough substance to give the narrative some weight.

BACKTRACE: The Cinematic Equivalent Of A Headache
BACKTRACE: The Cinematic Equivalent Of A Headache

Backtrace is too ridiculous and underwritten to be a full-fledged crime thriller and too self-serious to be an enjoyable B-movie.

SPEED KILLS: John Travolta on Snooze Control
SPEED KILLS: John Travolta On Snooze Control

While not quite as offensive as Gotti, Speed Kills is just as disposable, with Travolta yet again starring in an incompetent and unimaginative feature.

ROBIN HOOD: Right Time, Wrong Movie
ROBIN HOOD: Right Time, Wrong Movie

Robin Hood seems to have a set of requirements to meet, and it gives the bare minimum when meeting them.
