Review of Creed II (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 26 Nov 2018

It's not entirely without its merits -- as much as seems rote, it's still a far cry from '80s-style cartoon buffoonery -- but just as quickly…

Review of Beautiful Boy (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 09 Nov 2018

Even with Chalamet's brilliance, the film grows muted by its own depressing miasma…

Review of Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 02 Nov 2018

Bizarrely, the film plays out almost the entire set as a kind of filler, while also trying to cram in enough emotional resonance to fulfill…

Review of Halloween (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 25 Oct 2018

It might not have the actual scares of the original, but its forward-thinking politics still twists the butcher knife in deeply satisfying ways…

Review of The Old Man & the Gun (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 25 Oct 2018

The first two acts of the film are light and cheerful, echoing the buoyant mood of its protagonist, who never seems happier than in the middle…

Review of First Man (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 11 Oct 2018

Despite the setting, the justly lauded director is after much finer-ground powder: The emotional consciousness and motivation of a man whose…

Review of A Star Is Born (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 04 Oct 2018

The duo have decent chemistry together, it must be said, but it becomes less believable as the film progresses…

Review of The Predator (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 13 Sep 2018

The script... plays as if it were written on bubblegum wrappers over the course of single boozy evening…

Review of Searching (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 30 Aug 2018

As the human face of the film if often only rendered on smaller screens looking pensively into his phone, Cho has to carry much of the narrative…

Review of Antiquities (2019)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 23 Aug 2018

There isn't all that much here to stick to your ribs, but its smooth finish goes down like a frigid limeade on a scorching afternoon…

Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 09 Aug 2018

What should be a devastating strike becomes more of a glancing blow…

Review of Eighth Grade (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 02 Aug 2018

Despite her awkward delivery, Kayla's actual philosophy is pretty spot on, and, more amazingly, in the course of the film, she actually follows…

Review of Christopher Robin (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 02 Aug 2018

You can certainly see what Disney wants you to come away with from this experience: You are never fully grown up, and you must only listen…

Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 26 Jul 2018

I guess it depends on what your expectations of these films might be: The action is, as always, formidable, but without the same care given…

Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 12 Jul 2018

There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob…

Review of Skyscraper (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 12 Jul 2018

It is this unexpected bout with humanity that gives the film at least some sort of emotional grounding, such that the vastly more ridiculous…

Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 05 Jul 2018

Director Peyton Reed has a light touch, which works well with Rudd's patented off-kilter comedic delivery…

Review of Uncle Drew (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 28 Jun 2018

It's more than a bit shaggy, but, truly, just watching Irving do his electric thing, or Miller's pure jumper again -- it shocked me how much…

Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 21 Jun 2018

One thing you can say about this soupy sequel: The filmmakers leave very little to chance…

Review of Incredibles 2 (2018)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 14 Jun 2018

In other words, the film is about as iron-clad safe as it could have been, with many reprisals and echoes from the first film…
