Reviews of new films from Stephen Daldry, Chase Palmer, and Neill Blomkamp.
The Asheville Movie Guys split on this videogame-inspired Ryan Reynolds action comedy, with one vote for entertaining and one for “disaster.”
James Gunn’s violent and funny take on the band of DC criminal misfits is a step up from David Ayer’s 2015 attempt, but also feels like a missed opportunity.
A pastiche of Disney’s ride, its “Pirates” franchise, and the jokey action of “Jumanji,” this “Jungle Cruise” is a wacky journey that’s surprisingly delightful.
Reviews of Pig, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, Joe Bell, and Val.
The stars do their thing, but this bloated, ridiculous action-comedy sequel never escapes the realm of the distasteful.
Craig Gillespie’s slick Disney villain origin story has much in common with his Tonya Harding biopic.
Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish display top-notch chemistry in this charming memory-loss dramedy.
Bob Odenkirk proves a terrific action star in this inspired pairing of the “John Wick” writer and the director of “Hardcore Henry.”
A college student’s numerous dramas conveniently converge in this brief but punishing dark comedy.
Joe Carnahan breathes new life into the time-loop sub-genre and finally gives Frank Grillo a lead part worthy of his talents.
Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall rekindle the magic of their 1988 comedy classic in this rare sequel that’s nearly as funny as the original.
Noel Coward’s comedic play receives a suspect new film adaptation.
The iconic cat and mouse’s violent schtick quickly grows tiresome in this horrible animation/live-action hybrid.
Simon Bird’s terrific graphic novel adaptation feels like a British translation of a Daniel Clowes comic.
The 2015 Icelandic dramedy about long-feuding sheep-farmer brothers translates well to Western Australia.
Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor are delightful in Doug Liman’s pandemic-set comedy.
