Arrival Review
Arrival meanders along at a pedestrian pace.
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).
Arrival meanders along at a pedestrian pace.
Hacksaw Ridge is an unforgettable tale of courage and determination.
The Handmaiden serves up more twists and turns than a 1950s dance marathon.
A Man Called Ove is a pure work of honest, heartfelt artistry.
Sully is a mesmerizing, tension-filled retelling.
Easily the best work of Derek Cianfrance’s 30-year career
Captain Fantastic artfully draws us from one perspective to another and back again.
Me Before You is like watching a Nicholas Sparks story without the absurdity.
The Lobster is a bit like contemplating the 10-pound sack of sugar at Costco.
Love & Friendship feels like an ornate beer stein filled with plain old Budweiser.
Money Monster is a curiously engaging, but heavily flawed, thriller.
A Bigger Splash is long-form storytelling without a sense of time.
