-
Godzilla KOTM is pure kaiju fan service through and through – overblown, thunderous fun
-
Disintegrate before the story hits the ground
-
La Llorona does the James Wan- trademark jump scares right, which it has aplenty. The story and concept though are sadly diluted.
-
Strong performances, strong atmospherics make for great suspense and creepiness, except those are thrown out the window in the last ten minutes. But still a hair-raising rumination on death and grief.
-
Shazam! is pure childhood wish fulfillment that throws you back to the days when you first started liking superheroes.
-
A high-concept nightmarish reinvention of the American Dream, when it is turned inside out using a very big and sharp pair of scissors.
-
Generic superhero origin, period-appropriate stuff.
-
Brings the cyberpunk manga source to thrilling action, but I cannot say the same for Rodriguez’s inert handling of the talented roster of actors
-
Just a few words on Aquaman, Into the Spiderverse and Roma. Full reviews to follow.
-
The first is a very predictable crowd pleaser that’s pleasing to look at, sounds good to listen to, and has plenty to root for. The second is so Christmassy, you’re gonna die. The last one tries too hard to be important.
