Snapshot Review: The Photograph
The Photograph is a fairly straightforward romantic drama that is slow to develop and fails to rise above ho-hum despite its very likeable and very attractive leads - Issa Rae…
Review: Last Christmas
Romantic comedies and dramas are few and far between these days, so when a decent one does come along, it’s generally worth celebrating, even if it's just so-so. Such is…
Quickie Review: Murder Mystery
The Netflix original movie Murder Mystery is lame, riddled with clichés, superficial and mildly amusing. And it knows it. Now you know it too and can plan accordingly. Watch with…

The Netflix film Always Be My Maybe unfurls like a pleasant enough romantic comedy of the Hallmark Channel variety - until Keanu Reeves (John Wick, Speed) shows up. He’s like…

You probably won't see a more satisfyingly strange film this year than Border. The main character is Tina, a Swedish customs agent with an extraordinary talent. She can smell fear…
Review: Juliet, Naked
Ah, what a breath of fresh air! Juliet, Naked is a charming and funny romantic drama that is pure and simple in its development of characters and story. In lesser…
Review: Modern Life Is Rubbish
The movie has little to do with modern life or rubbish (though I'd think twice before putting the latter in the title of any movie.) It's the name of an…
