Review of Annabelle: Creation (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 09 Aug 2017

A surprisingly effective horror film, which is to say it’s scary in all the smart ways…

Review of The Glass Castle (2017)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 09 Aug 2017

For every crisis there’s a line of homespun wisdom, in every failure a universal lesson to impart…

Review of Step (2017)

By Kerry Lengel (223) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 09 Aug 2017

You might say the lack of a Hollywood narrative arc is both a strength and a weakness in this film, because Lipitz isn’t entirely clear about…

Review of Wind River (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 09 Aug 2017

As with all of the films he writes, Sheridan takes us to places that are foreign to many of us, yet immerses us so deeply into the sense of…

Review of The Wolfman (2010)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 04 Aug 2017

The movie plays like a missed opportunity, with its by-the-numbers scares and a story that feels disjointed, hurried in some places, slow in others…

Review of Kidnap (2017)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Aug 2017

It's lean and economical, and it moves at a ferocious pace. And generally, its focus is razor-sharp…

Review of The Midwife (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Aug 2017

The Midwife is one of those movies that could be about anything and you’d watch, so enjoyable are its lead actors…

Review of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (2017)

By Kerry Lengel (223) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Aug 2017

The sequel is even more “all about Al,” but ironically, with any question of another electoral run put to rest, the results work better as cinema…

Review of The Dark Tower (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Aug 2017

The Dark Tower is a near-total whiff, a mess of a movie that took forever to get made and by the look of things should have taken about twice…

Review of Brave New Jersey (2017)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Aug 2017

There are a lot of funny people in Brave New Jersey, but the movie is not very funny…

Review of Detroit (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Aug 2017

Detroit, as a movie, is all over the place, yet oddly that messiness is one of its strengths. It is also appropriate. Necessary, even. It fits…

Review of City of Ghosts (2017)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 26 Jul 2017

City of Ghosts isn’t merely about the personal sacrifices of these men, but a testament to the necessity of a free and open press the world over…

Review of Atomic Blonde (2017)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 26 Jul 2017

No, Atomic Blonde isn’t lacking in sex appeal or swagger. But what it is in want of are stakes…

Review of Girls Trip (2017)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Jul 2017

The no-holds-barred comedy generally works, largely thanks to a game cast that plunges into the raunchy material with gleeful abandon…

Review of A Ghost Story (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Jul 2017

A Ghost Story may be the ultimate litmus test of where you fall on the line between artistic merit and laughable pretension…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Jul 2017

In many ways Lady Macbeth is remarkable for what it isn’t. It isn’t a staid period drama. It isn’t romantic. It isn’t predictable…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Jul 2017

At its best, it hits the gut with the free-fall feel of a theme-park ride…

Review of Dunkirk (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 17 Jul 2017

Dunkirk is a great movie, both an old-time inspirational war epic and at the same time very much a Christopher Nolan movie…

Review of Kick-Ass (2010)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 Jul 2017

It's also perfectly content to be an insanely violent, funny take on an established genre. And in that respect, Kick-Ass lives up to its name…

Review of Blind (2017)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 12 Jul 2017

The chemistry between Baldwin and Moore is strangely disconnected. The performers aren't bad, but they don't generate any kind of heat…
