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

It lacks an identity of its own, clinging to the aesthetics of its spiritual brethren and disguising its lack of complexity with a lot of alcoholic…

Review of Zootopia (2016)

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

Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

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

All in all, A Wrinkle in Time doesn't fully stick the landing but it hits hard where it counts, delivering a sweet and timely sci-fi adventure…

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 Logan (2017)

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

This is the Wolverine story fans have wanted to see on screen all along, and the filmmakers are to be commended for taking the character 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

It doesn't quite have the originality of the first film or the boldness of the second, but it still has heart where it counts…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

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

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

It captures the spirit of the original whilst not being overly reverent to it and mostly does its own thing, which is exactly what a great…

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…

Review of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

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