"[T]he movie miscalculates what it withholds and how it does so."

"The only firm grasp the filmmakers have on this material is that it is a weird story, which only gets it so far."
01/05/2024
"[T]he filmmaker ... focuses on giving us exactly what we expect and making the material as propulsive, brutal, and effective as he can."

"NIGHT SWIM feels like a copy of a copy of copy of similar horror fare."

"[Y]ou've almost certainly seen just about everything that director Kimani Ray Smith brings to the table with this generic action thriller."
THE PAINTER - Mark Reviews Movies is about a CIA operative with super-human hearing, which developed after he was caught up in a terrorist bombing that killed both of his parents as a child. He paints on the side, by the way, which is how he got his codename. There are probably a dozen or so more appropriate nicknames for the guy, b...

"Providing only the vaguest of glimpses into the world of rally racing and the minds of those who participate in it, RACE FOR GLORY: AUDI VS. LANCIA feels incomplete."

"An unexpected pseudo-thriller, THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE creates near-unbearable tension out of a grounded workplace scenario in a seemingly unlikely place..."
12/23/2023
"FERRARI shows us ... the cost of one man's success, glory, and legacy, and it's one he is more than willing to let others pay."
12/23/2023
"THE CRIME IS MINE is a smart, if inherently slight, treat all around."
12/23/2023
"THE COLOR PURPLE is bright ... and cheery, and for these songs, that's the correct approach. It's just the wrong one for pretty much everything else in the story..."
12/23/2023
"On every level ... THE BOYS IN THE BOAT is routine and often dull."
THE BOYS IN THE BOAT - Mark Reviews Movies is an inherently misleading title for this movie. The story, based on the non-fiction book by Daniel James Brown, is about a team of nine college rowers on the University of Washington crew. It's the mid-1930s. The United States is struggling under the economic devastation of the Great Depression, a...

"SOCIETY OF THE SNOW tells this story with bluntness, thoughtfulness, and respect..."

"REBEL MOON: PART ONE – A CHILD OF FIRE just circles around the same pattern..."

"MIGRATION is so harmless and sincere that it almost feels mean to also point out that it's far too familiar, too lazy in its humor, and slim in developing both its plot and its characters."
12/22/2023
"Dovey is less a character and more a plot device. He's a pretty bland one, too..."
12/21/2023
"AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM continues the trend of filmmakers not taking advantage of either the weird possibilities of this character and his world or the easy charm Momoa brings to the part."
12/21/2023
"There's a better story hiding somewhere within the unnecessary excesses of MEMORY, and the movie is disappointing because, for a bit there, Franco shows it to us."

"[S]creenwriters Mark St. Germain ... and Matthew Brown put two brilliant men in the same room and have them talk in circles, around both the same subjects and each other."
12/21/2023
"ANYONE BUT YOU has the right idea. It might even be a slightly clever, self-aware one, but ... notable miscalculations prevent the movie from reaching that potential."
12/21/2023
"[T]he film's emotional impact is raw and, in many instances, quite powerful."
12/15/2023
"One might be more forgiving of such an action-comedy if either the action or the comedy worked, but ... THE FAMILY PLAN fails both of those elements."
12/15/2023
"[T]hese four musicians genuinely seem thrilled beyond belief, not only to have possessed the luck they have had in their careers, but also to have those careers spotlighted..."
