90 42% A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) - Rated 28 Jun 2024
"The film often plays fast and loose with its own rules, but it remains well-made, entertaining, and emotionally impactful. The Quiet Place franchise continues to offer exceptional performances from its leading actors. In this case, Lupita Nyong'o and the planet's most patient and well-behaved cat."
91 52% The Bikeriders (2023) - Rated 25 Jun 2024
"Extremely well-acted by its entire ensemble cast, and it does have some intelligent things to say about brotherhood, honor, and traditional masculinity. However, it feels as though it doesn't always make great use of its 2 hr runtime to explore these themes as thoroughly as the premise deserves."
94 79% Inside Out 2 (2024) - Rated 25 Jun 2024
"Pixar's best outing in some time. Inside Out 2 retains all the charm and emotional weight of the first, while cleverly introducing some more mature themes in a wonderfully allegorical way. The characters are very endearing, and the metaphors are palpable."
91 52% War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) - Rated 18 Jun 2024
"WFTPOTA is another spectacle. Caesar's character is still very interesting, and Serkis delivers yet again. Still, there are a number of oversights that take away from the realism of the story (impossible horse to ape weight ratios, Caesar understanding sign language without actually seeing it, continued inconsistencies with ape intelligence scaling, etc.) Hateful bigots committing racially motivated atrocities under the guise of Christian Nationalism however, is as real as it gets these days."
90 42% Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) - Rated 18 Jun 2024
"Serkis delivers an outstanding and believable performance yet again. However, Dawn's plot feels much more like the setup to a more epic story than it's own self-contained tale, and this unfortunately caps its entertainment value. Additionally, the intelligence scaling of the apes seems inconsistent, with fairly advanced communication and societal structure coexisting alongside a lack of critical thinking and proper foresight. Oh wait no.....that describes the issue with humans too."
92 61% Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) - Rated 16 Jun 2024
"An entertaining spectacle to be sure, and a lifetime performance by Serkis, but it seems particularly obsessed with a cartoonish depiction of human cruelty and meat-headed aggression. A few years ago (like at the time of this film's release) I would have said that this was unrealistic...but 13 years, one botched pandemic, and a rise is cartoonish human cruelty and an aggressively meat-headed ideological takeover later, and now I'm not as confident in that mindset as I once may have been."
93 70% Euphoria (2019) - Rated 15 Jun 2024
"A visual spectacle and very open-handed with it's brazen depiction of weighty concepts such as grief, addiction, evil, sexuality, disapointment, and resentment. The cast goes above an beyond to peel back the layers of character psyche until it is shamelessly bared. That said, for as well as the show grounds itself in very real and raw emotional psychology, it has a very loose relationship with reality and believability that is often difficult to overlook. The result is honest, but messy."
91 52% IF (2024) - Rated 12 Jun 2024
"A bit disjointed, but it makes up for it with an incredible sweetness and a solid heartfelt foundation. Krasinski has range as a director and storyteller for sure. Ryan Reynolds is well-cast in his leading role."
87 16% The Rebound (2009) - Rated 10 Jun 2024
"The film deviates slightly from the tired and worn traditional RomCom formula, and the comedy on display is a little edgier than you'd usually find from the genre. Still, the pretty awful writing and questionable acting choices is hard to overlook."
84 5% The Watchers (2024) - Rated 07 Jun 2024
"This horror flick by Ishana Night, daughter of iconic thriller writer/director M. Night Shyamalan is unfortunately a very flat filmmaking debut. The plot feels held together with toothpicks and bubblegum in the first two acts, before completely abandoning any logical sense by the third act. At first, some of the plotholes are forgivable, but by midway, the confusion has already overstayed its welcome. Pretty enough with a decent horror aesthetic, but this alone does not save the film."
