Hellbent

A pretty cast can't disguise a screenplay that is hellbent on avoiding suspense.

1/4

Most Likely to Die

You know what is most likely to die? Any interest in this movie after 5 minutes.

0/4

Finding Dory

It was a lovely trip,  but after finding her, I question how necessary her journey was.

3/4

Krampus

Krampus teases towards the naughty and nice list but fails by never committing to either list.

2/4

We Are What We Are

This feels uninvolving and distant, a movie about cannibals shouldn't be this hard to sink your teeth into. 

2/4

Dracula 2000

It goes for the jugular but ends up feeling defanged and lifeless.

1/4

Starry Eyes

Such an evocative and unsettling look into the process of becoming famous, and Alex Essoe is a star in the making.

3/4

Everest

How can you warm up to a movie with characters as frosty and interchangeable as the mountain they are climbing?

2/4

The Forest

Starts out strong but eventually the story loses its' trail and ends up circling the trees. 

2/4

The Revenant

Beautiful with flawless performances, but a little trimming wouldn't  have hurt, and that was not a comment on Dicaprio's beard.

3/4

Burying the Ex

There's  a nasty undertone of misogyny that makes the living characters more nasty and soulless then the undead ex.

2/4

The Visit

It tries to be a blend of horror and comedy but it comes off as senile as the antagonists.

1/4

Serena

How can you take a movie like this seriously  when it's as subtle as a Wayans' brothers movie?
