Review of Big Hero 6 (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 28 Jan 2015

Joyous and exhilarating. A fresh and funny animated adventure that subverts genre clichés at every turn…

Review of Ex Machina (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 23 Jan 2015

There's nothing fresh or even usefully true in its cartoonish dichotomy about men, but this pseudo-SF flick will expound upon it with pretentious…

Review of Mortdecai (2015)

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

This painfully unfunny spoof of teddibly British nonsense couldn't be less amusing if it were actually calculated to be totally laugh-free…

Review of Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

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

Simultaneously the dullest and the most insulting version of itself it could possibly be. If only it had managed to be campy, that'd be something…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

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

If you didn't think music could involve actual blood, sweat, and tears, this breathtakingly visceral coming-of-artistic-age drama will set…

Review of American Sniper (2014)

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

A banal, bland tribute to things no one questions as laudable (though it has to misrepresent its subject to do so). But Bradley Cooper is very good…

Review of Taken 3 (2014)

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

This is a movie as its own death wish…

Review of The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 31 Dec 2014

Thinks it's hitting notes of subconscious dread, but it's just swinging a sledgehammer of tropes and hoping one of them sticks. (Spoiler: None do.)…

Review of Unbroken (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 27 Dec 2014

Jack O'Connell is the most exciting young actor to break out in years, and he makes this overly familiar film worth your time... if only just…

Review of Annie (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 17 Dec 2014

Quvenzhané Wallis is adorable and Cameron Diaz is a hoot. But the movie is energetic yet bland, inoffensive and instantly forgettable…

Review of Wild (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 15 Dec 2014

A film full of spectacular landscapes of both the natural world and the human spirit. This is what it looks like when women get to be people onscreen…

Review of Electricity (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 11 Dec 2014

Model-turned-actor Agyness Deyn is strange and lovely in a visually innovative and dramatically unexpected tale of personal adventure…

Review of Merchants of Doubt (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 11 Dec 2014

Opens our eyes to the PR sleight of hand that huge corporations deploy to protect their profits when facts and science aren't going their way…

Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 10 Dec 2014

I fear that Peter Jackson has been suffering from a similar affliction to the dwarf king's 'dragon sickness': a compulsive lust for epicness…

Review of Eastern Boys (2013)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 05 Dec 2014

Repugnant drama about the tender relationship between a man who pays for sex and the boy he hires. At least Pretty Woman pretended to be a fairy tale…

Review of Penguins of Madagascar (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 05 Dec 2014

Gloriously bonkers. Like, Looney Tunes levels of cartoon madness. You will laugh your homo sapien head off…

Review of Bonobo (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 04 Dec 2014

A gentle, poignant dramedy about getting out of your comfort zone, one that smashes the tropes of microbudget films with its wildly original story…

Review of The Way He Looks (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Dec 2014

A charming teen drama bursting with a warmth and compassion unexpected in the genre, and with a freshly sweet surprise of young love…
