Love, Weddings & Other Disasters is sub-Garry Marshall drek built upon half-assed jokes and underdeveloped storylines. Dennis Dugan has gifted the world some of Adam Sandler’s…
Survival Skills doesn’t entirely work, but it’s a bolder film than it initially appears and at least may engender necessary social discourse. “That uniform doesn’t give…
The Mole Agent’s overly complicated setup and unnecessary dramatic flair detract from what could have made the film great — the real people. The Mole…
All My Life adopts the familiar form of any number of tragic romances without building any depth into its vision. Jessica Rothe is undoubtedly one of…
Echo Boomers is a gratingly stupid film that is content to settle for mindless superficial strokes. “A true story…if you believe in such things.” So goes…
Dating Amber is a nice enough film in the way of so many other forgettable, generic coming-of-age efforts. Perhaps it should be taken as progress that…

There is a kernel of a good idea buried somewhere within the shitstorm that is the new horror-comedy It Cuts Deep. Unfortunately, writer-director Nicholas Santos,…
The Wolf of Snow Hollow is yet further, winning proof of Jim Cummings’ singular artistic voice. Much like his debut feature, 2018’s Thunder Road, director-writer-actor Jim…
Black Box is a lazy, boring, and self-serious entry in the Welcome to the Blumhouse project. The second feature in Amazon’s Welcome to the Blumhouse film series,…
