Weathering with You (Tenki no Ko) (2020) – Movie Review
What draws me about CoMix Wave Films’ style is that it is an approach to art that is deliberately, intensely devoted to portraying the mundane over the extraordinary. Ugly backdrops are made beautiful by the care put into painting them.
Oxygen (Oxygène) (2021) – Movie Review
Oxygen acquits itself well enough in its high-concept execution, even though the sci-fi setting ends up undermining the thriller part of it.
Shiva Baby (2021) – Movie Review
Shiva Baby is a tightly packed comedy that runs in, unleashes a perfect storm of social awkwardness and family judgment, and then runs out before you’ve had a chance to process what just happened.
Army of the Dead (2021) – Movie Review
Zack Snyder’s latest is a fun zombie heist action movie that gets exponentially dumber as it progresses.
French Exit (2021) – Movie Review
Michelle Pfeiffer shines in a role that seems custom made for her, but the film is too languid to fully work as a comedy.
Nobody (2021) – Movie Review
Someone asked the question “Can you make John Wick with Bob Odenkirk instead of Keanu?”, and the answer turns out be, oh yeah you can!
Freaky (2021) – Movie Review
A fun slasher horror body swap comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Breaking News in Yuba County (2021) – Movie Review
A crime comedy that, while entertaining, gets lost in its overcrowded supporting cast.
Mortal Kombat (2021) – Movie Review
If you’re gonna make a Mortal Kombat movie, you can’t do it halfway. This adaptation revels in the game’s excess and gore with infectious glee.
