Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 19 Jun 2018

Fallen Kingdom offers enough twists that give the film an air of freshness when accompanied by taut, rapid-paced directing from J.A. Bayona…

Review of Incredibles 2 (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 13 Jun 2018

There is a live-action preamble attached to the film with Bird and the voice actors apologizing and explaining that these kinds of films take…

Review of Tag (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 12 Jun 2018

Tag is a crass, dumb, typical summer comedy that delivers in the end…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 11 Jun 2018

Superfly circa 2018 plays exactly like what it is - a gangster film with a sometimes compelling story and myriad flaws…

Review of Hotel Artemis (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 05 Jun 2018

Review of Ocean's Eight (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 05 Jun 2018

Ocean's 8 has more in common with the original Ocean's 11 from 1960... but it is fun to hang out and enjoy the star power for a few hours…

Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 21 May 2018

The charm in Solo comes more from the cast than the story. It's a rogue's gallery of likeable characters…

Review of Book Club (2018)

Review of Deadpool 2 (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 14 May 2018

The sequel is not a letdown. It may not be as refreshingly clever as the first Deadpool, but it certainly delivers in laughs and lunacy…

Review of Tully (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 01 May 2018

It's a compelling performance worthy of an Oscar nomination, but I'm afraid the film won't have enough juice to get [Theron] there…

Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 24 Apr 2018

[Chris] Pratt jumps from blustery to goofy to vulnerable to insecure to funny with ease, as he trades barbs with Thor and his own sidekicks…

Review of Rampage (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 11 Apr 2018

Rampage is what happens when a superstar actor has the clout to take a pet project and release it onto the screen…

Review of Beirut (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 10 Apr 2018

While it doesn't rise completely to Argo's level, it possesses some of the dramatic chops and thrills to match…

Review of Blockers (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 03 Apr 2018

It's just difficult to have any sympathy for the methods behind their madness, even if Lisa, Mitchell and Hunter have their hearts in the right spots…

Review of Isle of Dogs (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 03 Apr 2018

Clever, funny, sharply written and utterly ridiculous, it brims with the writer-director's signature deadpan humor and excruciating attention…

Review of Ready Player One (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 26 Mar 2018

Ultimately, a likeable cast, [Mark] Rylance's performance is especially memorable, an imaginative story and Spielberg's ability to meld mirth,…

Review of Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 23 Mar 2018

No one could ever think that a movie about giant robots could ever beat the past three Transformers films for sheer awfulness. Think again…

Review of Love, Simon (2018)

By George Thomas (95) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 15 Mar 2018

Love, Simon suffers from some of those coming-of-age clichés, but they're certainly worth sitting through in enjoying this journey to adulthood…
