By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 22 Apr 2015

Review of Monsters: Dark Continent (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 21 Apr 2015

Review of Child 44 (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 21 Apr 2015

Review of Alex of Venice (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 19 Apr 2015

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is eminently relatable in a compassionate, human-scaled movie of the sort that movies have almost forgotten of late…

Review of A Little Chaos (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Apr 2015

Romantic and funny and smart and wise and just plain different. This is a historical costume dramedy romp about gardening. How cool is that…

Review of The Reconstruction of William Zero (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Apr 2015

Thematically ambitious cloning drama wants to explore the personal ramifications of a new technology but falls down where it needs to be strongest…

Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Apr 2015

This isn't only another rote slasher movie, full of ridiculous coincidences and obvious red herrings: it's actually worse than that, yet thinks…

Review of The Salvation (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Apr 2015

Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 12 Apr 2015

Hard to believe, I know, but this is a real movie that real people have unashamedly put their names to. Because a sweet paycheck trumps human dignity…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 09 Apr 2015

Funky-elegant, weirdly funny, visually intoxicating…

Review of Woman in Gold (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 09 Apr 2015

A deeply moving and very satisfying piece of entertainment that knits up seemingly disparate elements in a tapestry of family pain and pride…

Review of Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 08 Apr 2015

Not so much a movie as a mismatched mix of dick jokes and rampant homophobia. I'm kidding: There aren't any actual jokes here…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 07 Apr 2015

Review of The DUFF (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 05 Apr 2015

This high-school comedy avoids the worst clichés of the genre and resists rather than indulges the worst tendencies of adolescence…

Review of Spring (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 02 Apr 2015

A same-old male-ego-stroking romantic-wish-fulfillment fantasy becomes actually enraging when it adds a sci-fi-horror twist…

Review of While We're Young (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 01 Apr 2015

This stinging GenX midlife meltdown is a bit strained in its plot, but that's balanced out by lots of melancholy wisdom and bittersweet wit…

Review of Furious 7 (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 29 Mar 2015

Too long, too convoluted, too sentimental, and too ridiculous. Some will say those are its good points. Will they embrace the homoeroticism too…

Review of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 27 Mar 2015
