Review of Burning Cane (2019)

Review of So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)

By David Baron (32) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 03 Oct 2019

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 25 Sep 2019

Review of Men in Black: International (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 11 Jun 2019

Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 11 Jun 2019

Review of All Is True (2018)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 08 Jun 2019

Consequently, while it's stocked with moments of heartfelt appreciation for the craft, it plays more like a 17th century soap opera than anything…

Review of Super Mario Bros. (1993)

By David Baron (32) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 27 May 2019

This bizarre, special effects-filled movie doesn't have the jaunty hop-and-zap spirit of the Nintendo video game from which it takes -- ahem…

Review of Tolkien (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 07 May 2019

It's an oddly inert film that suffers from its lack of focus on the stories that stand as Tolkien's chief literary contributions…

Review of Bolden (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 01 May 2019

Review of The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 16 Apr 2019

A solidly intense creepout. Granted, it doesn't do anything to rewrite the horror rulebook in any significant way…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 27 Mar 2019

Review of The Dirt (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 22 Mar 2019

I'm not sure how much of The Dirt is good, old-fashioned hyperbole…

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 14 Mar 2019

Review of Climax (2018)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 13 Mar 2019

It's not that Climax is a poorly made movie. It's that it's an abjectly mean movie. Some would try to excuse it as arthouse cinema…

Review of Greta (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 27 Feb 2019
