Split Review
Split is an improvement over his last, oh, seven or so films, but that’s not saying much.
I love movies, tech, politics, games and more. I've been writing professionally since 1985 and, thankfully, have worked with some of the best editors in the business. I'm also a proud member of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle and the Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critics Choice Awards).
Split is an improvement over his last, oh, seven or so films, but that’s not saying much.
Hidden Figures is the most timely film of 2016.
A Monster Calls plays with your emotions like a master painter plays with colors.
Watch Grandma play Mahjong, and you’ll think that someone juiced her julep.
Lion fills you with a sense of empathy that we afford to only our closest loved ones.
Passengers is the perfect film for people disinterested in plot challenges of any type.
La La Land is a far cry from the polished gem of Chazelle’s previous effort.
Collateral Beauty has a bounty of potential that’s wasted in the hands of a bad writer.
Old Stone starts out dark, dreary and depressing and never changes gears.
Miss Sloane fails in the most basic ways possible.
Manchester by the Sea is an ocean of dreary landscapes, brooding characters and plodding plot elements.
Moana is a brilliant crown jewel in a treasure chest overflowing with legendary gems.
