Review of Aladdin (2019)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 May 2019

Review of Shazam! (2019)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Apr 2019

Shazam! sees DC combining the golden-age optimism espoused by Wonder Woman and the jubilant, self-aware silliness of Aquaman into a satisfying whole…

Review of Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Feb 2019

Review of Miss Bala (2019)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 Jan 2019

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Jan 2019

The film’s twist ending exists only to retroactively justify writer-director Steven Knight’s feeble stylistic choices…

Review of Replicas (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Jan 2019

The climax’s bizarre left turns culminate in a final image so bewildering that were the film not so relentlessly dour it might have clarified…

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

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Dec 2018

Review of A Private War (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Nov 2018

A Private War ultimately sides with the late journalist’s assertion that the whos and whys of war matter far less in journalism than finding…

Review of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 Oct 2018

One may wish that the entire film had restaged the entirely of Tchaikovsky's ballet rather than reimagine it as an ultimately lifeless epic fantasy…

Review of A Bread Factory, Part One: For the Sake of Gold (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 Oct 2018

Review of Venom (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Oct 2018

The final act's full-tilt embrace of action effectively undermines Tom Hardy's flashes of actorly idiosyncrasy…

Review of Bad Reputation (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Sep 2018

The documentary often struggles to extract deeper thoughts from its subject about her wild career as a pioneering rock feminist…

Review of Roma (2018)

By Jake Cole (292) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Sep 2018
