Review of Chappie (2015)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 30 May 2015

Review of '71 (2014)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

The violence in '71 is sudden and devastating and immediate -- you feel it -- and although the characters are often a little light, Demange…

Review of Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

Both actors are trapped by the rigid banality of their characters, and they fail to manufacture any chemistry -- without that heat, this is…

Review of Project Almanac (2015)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

Whedon is pretty much locked into an overarching storyline and a bland house style here, so instead of bucking the system, he dutifully serves…

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

This Swedish offering is about as lighthearted and inconsequential as a dark comedy dealing with mass murder and nihilistic destruction can…

Review of Black Souls (2014)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

While [Black Souls is] clearly the product of [a] talented [director], I never quite connected with [it]…

Review of Where Hope Grows (2014)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

DeSanctis is a force of nature, and for the most part this is less of a Bible thumper than a Bible tapper, but it gets downright shameless…

Review of Spike Island (2012)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

Taking its cue from the sort of pandering nostalgia that usually gets peddled to Baby Boomers, Mat Whitecross' irritating Spike Island follows…

Review of Wild Tales (2014)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015

Review of Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem (2014)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 29 May 2015
