Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of The Girl on the Train (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Zootopia (2016)

Review of Incredibles 2 (2018)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Incredibles 2 feels more like an expansion pack to the first film than a full-fledged sequel...That said, there's more than enough here to…

Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

It works as a great culmination of the character's story over his five appearances, but functions well enough as a standalone action sci-fi…

Review of Ready Player One (2018)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

It's certainly a far more nutritious experience than the book...and I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone wanting to escape the depressing world…

Review of Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

Review of Triple 9 (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Triple 9 does bring a couple of new ideas to the table and, though nothing it does is particularly groundbreaking, it is an entertaining ride…

Review of Deadpool 2 (2018)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

It's a movie that delivers everything it promises, but doesn't offer that same sense of surprise that only the first film could ever pull off…

Review of The Mummy (2017)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

If Marvel established the textbook way of how to start a cinematic universe, The Mummy should serve as the example of how not to…

Review of The Magnificent Seven (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Review of Baby Driver (2017)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

Baby Driver marks as somewhat of a departure from Wright's usual style, but it is still undeniably a film that could have only come from his mind…
