Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 28 Mar 2017

What's missing is any trace of 1980s-style punk cynicism to underpin the pop playfulness; instead, there's a complacency which is death to humour…

Review of Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 28 Mar 2017

Whatever I was expecting from the latest Smurf movie, it wasn't a sophisticated work of revisionist fan-fiction centred on the controversial…

Review of Loving (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 22 Mar 2017

This could be the synopsis of a mediocre inspirational telemovie, but Nichols is a very deliberate artist, and Loving is as carefully made…

Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 22 Mar 2017

The film has an old-fashioned, studio-bound look, despite the reliance on digital effects…

Review of The Boss Baby (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 22 Mar 2017

What is clear is that The Boss Baby is a concept that doesn't work…

Review of The Death and Life of Otto Bloom (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 15 Mar 2017

The best to be said for this tiresome exercise in magic realism is that it feels like a film the writer-director Cris Jones, an Australian…

Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 09 Mar 2017

Taken as a straightforward adventure movie, it's enjoyable enough…

Review of David Stratton: A Cinematic Life (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 09 Mar 2017

Sally Aitken's new documentary leaves no doubt that Stratton has always been a man of intense feeling, even if this feeling is mediated through…

Review of Fist Fight (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 23 Feb 2017

It doesn't help that neither leading man is much of a comic force in his own right…

Review of The Family (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 23 Feb 2017

Even today, it seems, the Family lives on, and perhaps this film is not the last word on the matter…

Review of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 08 Feb 2017

This time round, though, there's more high-spirited whimsy than laugh-out-loud humour…

Review of Fifty Shades Darker (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 08 Feb 2017

For supposed trash, Fifty Shades Darker offers a fair amount to ponder…

Review of Patriots Day (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 03 Feb 2017

Much of this feels familiar or worse, especially the cringeworthy finale…

Review of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 26 Jan 2017

Part of the charm of these pulpy films lies in their lack of pretension, the way they rarely pause for breath…

Review of Monster Trucks (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 11 Jan 2017

Monster Trucks has neither the gloss nor the tongue-in-cheek sensibility of, say, the most recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie…

Review of The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 11 Jan 2017

There's an implicit tension between Ma's laid-back manner and the driven perfectionist we know he must be, but the film has limited scope to…

Review of Railroad Tigers (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 06 Jan 2017

These shifts in tone could have been interesting if deliberately used to throw us off balance, but Sheng seems to be hoping we won't notice…

Review of Assassin's Creed (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 06 Jan 2017

Films based on video games are often derided as hackwork -- but Assassin's Creed is the most daring film yet from the Australian director Justin…

Review of Gimme Danger (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 23 Dec 2016

On balance, this is mostly for fans -- and even they may feel some of the mixed emotions that arise whenever a one-time rebel is ushered into…

Review of Paterson (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 16 Dec 2016

Jarmusch is justly revered as one of the fathers of modern independent American film, but his films have grown ever more wispy and self-congratulatory,…
