Space Cadet (2024) |
Roberts and Union pull out the stops trying to find laughs in this script, mostly failing. Scene after unoriginal scene drags on the picture...sucking it right out of orbit. - Movie Nation

The Beautiful Summer (2023) |
Luchetti makes her beautiful looking film about this budding summer romance, but never quite convinces us of her passionate interest in it, or in much else that was going on in Italy in 1938. - Movie Nation

My Man Godfrey (1936) |
Few comedies of this or any other era are performed with the panache of this one, with the players making scores upon scores of one-liners, insults and casual remarks worth a chuckle. - Movie Nation

My Spy the Eternal City (2024) |
At least the sequel isn’t as violent as “My Spy” — if you ignore all the knife-throwing. - Movie Nation

A Night at the Opera (1935) |
One can feel the “madcap” slipping away as the banter slows and structure and sticking-to-the-script/watch-the-clock MGM “efficiency” weigh on the Marx Brothers from the start. - Movie Nation

Find Me Falling (2024) |
The best Hallmark movie in years was snatched up by Netflix...Of course it’s all as cloying and cute as it is predictable. But Connick plays this rock-fish-out-of-water perfectly, giving most every scene a light air of perplexity and embarassment. - Movie Nation

The Infallibles (2024) |
By the sputtering slam-bang finale, even the most devoted buddy cop picture fan will have reached the “That makes no sense” level of dismay. - Movie Nation

Blame the Game (2024) |
Pacing counts for everything in a farce, and while this one has a promising bit, here and there, it’s something of a stiff. It never gets on its feet and sprints. - Movie Nation

Young Woman and the Sea (2024) |
Plucky...a mostly-European cast tell this All American story in that plucky, old fashioned Disney style — with great obstacles, sketchy, archetypal villains and all of America watching, or listening on the radio as our heroine makes her attempt. - Movie Nation

Mother of All Shows (2023) |
Every scene drifts on past its payoff....There’s nothing musical here anybody would hum leaving the theater. The singing is adequate, but no more, the dance undemanding.

Lord Jim (1965) |
One suspects that this story’s racial attitudes, taken from Conrad and absorbed from Kipling, were never ever going to age well, no matter how pretty the images, how exciting the action and how perfectly-cast its “white savior” might have been. - Movie Nation

Longlegs (2024) |
Love Cage, Monroe has impressed in the past...But I’m not buying the Quantum Leap in Oz Perkins’ filmmaking some are calling this. In the case of “Longlegs,” the hype is the picture. - Movie Nation

The Convert (2023) |
Tamahori is a filmmaker in both his elements here, a Maori who never allows this Maori story to turn patronizing, an action auteur...who knows how to make violence visceral, and in combat scenes, an epic experience. - Movie Nation

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944) |

Lesser Lean...but Lean completists will take pleasure in the connective tissue that binds (this) with his other films, and get a sense of his first serious dalliance into an epic setting. - Movie Nation

Touch (2024) |
Emotional shortcomings aside, “Touch” still pulls you in, an immersive story of alien worlds — the 1960s, Iceland and Japan — sympathetically and patiently told, a lovely two hour break from the world - Movie Nation

A Part of You (2024) |
Meant to be a movie you feel more than you follow, anxiously awaiting the next twist. And one does feel something, here and there and in the finale. If you’re young enough, that will suffice. - Movie Nation
