I.S.S. – Movie Review

Posted on by Aaron White.

America vs. Russia – it’ll never get old. This time the two countries have their astronaut scientists squaring off for control of the International Space Station in this paranoid thriller that moves quickly, boasts strong VFX, and features impressive camerawork, but lacks the emotional connection and memorable moments to make it stand out.

The Beekeeper – Movie Review

Posted on by Aaron White.

Barely average or below in almost every single way – not even a constant flow of bee puns and the occasional body part removal can save this overly silly and unspectacular action flick.

Mean Girls – Movie Review

Posted on by Aaron White.

Though unlikely to supplant any super fan’s love of the original film, this theatrical retelling of a familiar story is a worthy companion piece, bringing a new energy with its musical numbers and vocal performances, a fresh take on body positivity, and expanded view of what it means to accept each other in a diverse school setting today.

Night Swim – Movie Review

Posted on by Aaron White.

It’s time to welcome in 2024 with a typical horror-thriller film that isn’t strong enough to release in the summer or fall. A truly interesting supernatural mythology is wasted until the film has already tested your patience and its jump scares mostly come off as silly more than scary, but the nostalgia for those who grew up with a swimming pool and the feeling of danger bodies of water can bring are conveyed fairly well.

FF+ Migration

Posted on by Aaron White.

A surprisingly adorable, funny, family-centric, and affirming adventure story with vibrant animation. This story has meaningful family representation and less constant empty slapstick nonsense than the typical Illumination film, and it is refreshingly welcome.

FF+ The Color Purple

Posted on by Aaron White.

This novel turned Broadway musical turned film adaptation is an absolutely dazzling and emotionally stirring knockout. Its tremendous ensemble cast, dynamic direction, and musical numbers that soar tell a story not just about the awful human capacity to hurt each other but also for resilience, hope, support, and ultimately forgiveness. A bold retelling perfect for introducing a new generation to this powerful coming-of-age tale.

FF+ Maestro

Posted on by Aaron White.

Cooper really has it as a director, presenting a mesmerizing biopic focused on the complicated relationship between Bernstein and his devoted wife Felicia. The film is almost entirely interested in the famous conductor/composer’s prolific affairs with men, and spends precious little time on his career by comparison, sadly only giving us one rousing musical number, but it’s a fascinating project because it shows a genius artist largely stripped down to who he was when not on a podium and the sacrifices made by a wife and others to support him in achieving his goals.

FF+ The Boys in the Boat

Posted on by Aaron White.

A wonderful sporting achievement is competently relayed here by George Clooney but with a disappointing lack of personality. There are moments of genuine inspiration, during boat races for example, but the much more heavily focused on character drama falls very flat.

FF+ The Iron Claw

Posted on by Aaron White.

Sean Durkin delivers a melodramatic sports biopic that flips the typical genre beats with this powerful, profound story of a wrestling family pushing for greatness at a terrible cost. Tremendous filmmaking that features Zac Efron’s best performance yet in a terribly tragic story.
