Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 May 2019

It doesn’t just maintain the momentum built in the previous chapters but further ramps up the emotional stakes and physical complexity…

Review of All Is True (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 May 2019

How do you make a legend as imposing as Shakespeare flesh? All Is True suggests you can't, if not even Branagh, Dench, McKellen, et al…

Review of Hail Satan? (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 30 Apr 2019

A cunning civics lesson about religious pluralism that will have civic-minded citizens throwing up the devil horns even if they’re not quite…

Review of Hotel Mumbai (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 27 Mar 2019

Movie-release schedules are set by studios months in advance, and many are the movie that had the misfortune to open at an inopportune time…

Review of The Mustang (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 20 Mar 2019

What seems primed to play out like a by-the-numbers social message movie with a classic redemption arc becomes something much more sophisticated,…

Review of Captain Marvel (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 05 Mar 2019

For all its thematic and behind-the-scenes innovations, cinematically Captain Marvel feels like a step backward for the MCU…

Review of Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 Feb 2019

Even if your veins pump with more popcorn butter than blood, Alita: Battle Angel can get a bit too stupid to bear, like watching a pair of…

Review of Isn't It Romantic (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 Feb 2019

The problem isn’t that it pokes fun at romantic comedies, it’s that it itself isn’t a terribly good one…

Review of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 07 Feb 2019

While it necessarily lacks the joy of discovery the first movie brought, “The Lego Movie 2” is still a breathless romp, landing enough…

Review of Destroyer (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 16 Jan 2019

Destroyer frequently zombie-shuffles into unintentional hilarity, confusing darkness for depth, ugliness for complexity, convolution for smarts…

Review of Cold War (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 16 Jan 2019

It’s clear from the opening shots that a physically and psychically savaged post-war Poland is impossible ground for love to flower, and…

Review of The Aspern Papers (2019)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 07 Jan 2019

Landais certainly brought little cinematic verve to The Aspern Papers, telling the story largely in turgid literary voiceover lifted directly…

Review of Bumblebee (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Dec 2018

To put it in terms Charlie would dig, “Bumblebee” is like an 80s mixtape that’s all hits, no deep cuts…

Review of The House That Jack Built (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 18 Dec 2018

The House That Jack Built is more than just an epic piece of cinematic trolling; it’s von Trier taking a microscope to his creative process…

Review of Aquaman (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 17 Dec 2018

There is the occasional cool visual and clever world-building detail, like jellyfish couture and eye-popping underwater physics, but Aquaman…

Review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 Dec 2018

It breathes youthful life into a tired franchise and makes the smartest transition yet of characters from the comics to the big screen with…

Review of Becoming Astrid (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 05 Dec 2018

This is not a flat and lifeless biopic in which a creation loses a bit of its wonder in the dissection of its inspiration…

Review of Green Book (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Nov 2018

Green Book is not unthoughtful in its crowd-pleasing. It’s just that such crowd-pleasing feels inappropriately quaint for 2018…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Nov 2018

Dafoe might not make logical sense in the role, but he commands it, his demon-haunted eyes communicating the artist's inner turmoil during…

Review of Instant Family (2018)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 16 Nov 2018

The result is too well-meaning and sincere to truly dislike, but too frictionless and manufactured to do right by the complicated scenario…
