Blade Runner 2049

I should have violated my rule forbidding alcohol consumption before seeing a movie.

Mother!

Forgive me, but Darren Aronofsky’s new film would have been better entitled “MF”. Interpret that as you wish.

Wind River

How can you love a film filled with tension, anxiety and grief? I did, but I wanted to warn you.

Atomic Blonde

For those who enjoyed prior James Bond and Jason Bourne films, why criticize a similar film starring a woman?

My Cousin Rachel

Other than Beauty and the Beast, Guardians of the Galaxy and Wonder Woman, Hollywood has clearly gotten bored with itself in 2017.

It Comes at Night

This film is similar to The Road (2009). How do you find a reason to live when forced to watch loved ones die?

The Dinner

The only way to see this movie is after you are drugged at a dentist’s office and waiting for a root canal.

Get Out

Catherine Keener’s menacing use of a teacup and spoon will make you want to keep both in cupboards at home.

Arrival

Given the massive praise for this film, with my criticism I felt like the only poor sap who flunked the bar exam after graduating from law school.
