Design and artistry here is the primary draw of The Dark Crystal, not necessarily the writing or the performances or the direction (Henson and Frank Oz shared the directing responsibilities for this one), although the are no glaring missteps in any of those areas.

Some of it is a bit too goofy – I could do without the overly slapstick antics of the goofy paintballer who finds out a paintball gun is not much use against Jason – but the comedy is still an appreciated aspect of the film, and it's nice to finally have a Friday the 13th film where someone says they've seen enough horror movies to drive away from the scary guy in the mask standing in the road.

Impressive visuals and a very watchable cast make this a fun popcorn fantasy flick that's at its best when it leans into its genre roots and aims to create a truly fantastical fairytale world.

What's so great about Brain Candy is what's great about every classic comedy: it's thoroughly quotable, infinitely watchable and so rich with detail that you'll be laughing at something new every time you watch it.

A genuine masterpiece of B-movie awesomeness. It's surprisingly imaginative, ambitious and off-the-wall. It's got goofy puppet creatures, it's filled to the brim with nudity and sex, and padded with plenty of gags, gore and graphic violence. It's the stuff of B/C-movie dreams.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is an excellent movie about paranoia, conformity, and the need to "stay awake," or else become jaded, emotionally dead.

Hellbound is gorier, larger, and more accessible than the first. It rehashes the original at the outset so people can grasp it whether or not they'd seen the first and as a result is an easier film to enjoy.

Antlers is a satisfying, unsettling, and rather bleak horror movie when it focuses on its main creature. It’s also a thought-provoking character drama when it deals with parental neglect, but the two never properly mix, keeping it from being as great as it could’ve been.

It's pleasant, and while it's a bit sloppy, I rather enjoy the unclean look of the animation.

A harmless and fun dark comedy that you'll enjoy casually watching from time to time.

The movie is not Oscar caliber by any means. The acting is spare and without much passion.. Sure the movie is worth one or two stars at best. But it's a hell of a ride nonetheless.

It's a fun film that presents an interesting scenario and raises a unique possibility. What it lacks in depth and acting skills it more than makes up for as a thoroughly enjoyable popcorn film.

The words "overblown" and "pompous" often came to mind. At other times, though, everything comes together-- music, images, and theme-- to really make a stoner go "whooooah."

Enemy Mine is one of my favorite sci-fi films.

The Devil All the Time is made purposely provocative by Antonio Campos imbuing an unrelenting gruesomeness into every frame.

The end result here is comically entertaining, but entertaining nevertheless - although if you are conditioned to enjoy only those very complicated scenes from newer movies this might be laughable in a less enjoyable way.

Tolkien may disappoint fans looking for a LOTR origin but will please those who like stories of art, love & friendship.

Outside of viewing the film as a child or with a group of pals on drunken Saturday night, watching a bunch of loosely stringed sequences of Killer Klowns attacking townsfolk only gets you so far. It's a fun picture. But nothing more.

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is a classic heist chase picture driven by a somewhat dated premise and paper-thin characters. But the film makes up for its faults with dazzling stunt work and great action.

Even as Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse goes through some familiar paces, it’s elevated by the presence at its center of star/producer Michael B. Jordan.

While Vanishing Point isn't the ultimate car chase movie as Tarantino would make you believe, it's certainly layered with fascinating subtext and few decent chase elements to keep action fans at bay.

Dune is a gorgeous but imperfect epic, a technical wonder that spends too much time setting up a third act that never comes.

Space Jam: A New Legacy enters the 21st century with LeBron James, impressive visuals, more personal stakes, and a fantastic villain in Don Cheadle. Unfortunately, the movie is too concerned with showcasing Warner Bros.’ biggest franchises that Bugs Bunny and Friends get sidelined in their own movie.

It's amusing and enjoyable at the same time, in a wholesome Pleasantville kind of way.

Between Two Ferns: The Movie does its best to coat Zach Galifianakis' dense and dopey TV host with a larger story but, in the end, the best parts are still when it's just him glassily staring into the eyes of a movie star and telling them how much they suck at acting.

All told, it's a terrifically entertaining tale filled with humor, heart, and allusions that are sure to delight fantasy fans.

The Americanization of Emily is worth a look for its fine performances and dynamite writing.

While Soul offers food for thought and has heart, it’s never quite as funny, engrossing, or emotionally rewarding as Pixar’s best.
