2004 movie reviews
  1. Nude Tuesday is incredibly entertaining and, though the central premise starts to wane after a while, the story picks back up as it nears its end.
  2. Silent Night, Deadly Night, is at its best when Nelson remembers how schlocky this material is, and he falters when he tries too hard to take it seriously.
  3. Thanks to its charming cast and even-handed blend of laughs and drama, Drunk Bus generally succeeds in putting a fresh spin on its familiar story.
  4. Silent Night winks at us as often as it tries for genuine drama, and whichever tone you choose to accept will likely determine whether you have as much fun with it as I did.
  5. You Should Have Left often feels like a watered-down version of The Shining, but Koepp still manages to maintain interest in its mind-bending story.
  6. The End is a challenging film and the rewards may be minimal, but that it exists at all is a miracle itself.
  7. The fashion alone, from design supervisor Stefano De Nardis and the costume team, elevates the film, turning it into an extravagant spectacle.
  8. I do not regret having seen it, and with all there is to recommend it, I feel comfortable suggesting you seek it out upon release. But do so with tempered expectations.
  9. With Holland and Mara, the commitment to The Dutchman is apparent and though its ending feels as if things are wrapped up a bit too cleanly, the film succeeds in being an unnerving odyssey over one New York night.
  10. Every life is a universe unto itself, and Ricciardi was clearly the kind of unique soul whose spirit enriched everyone around him, but its actually in the margins of this sometimes preening doc that Benna's film really hits its target. When the film rests, it destigmatizes a process that everyone will eventually go through (albeit in a range of ways).
  11. Totally Killer has its flaws, but it also has a distinct flair and charm. The film’s comedy is self-aware and witty, even if not all the comedic elements work, and there’s a love of the 80s that isn’t overshadowed by attempts to emulate it without question.

    The Monk reunion is a film made for fans of the TV show — it doesn't try to go beyond that, which is ultimately good news.

    While Birthrite had some flaws throughout, Partridge knocked it out of the park in the third act, leaving things on a strong note.
  12. When Ma focuses on the grounded journey of Sara's fish-out-of-water story and the genuine chemistry between her and Sam, the film sings.
  13. The story is very high concept and the tone is completely aware of itself, leading to a truly enjoyable experience
  14. Despite the lack of strong characterization across the team, Rule Breakers still provides an uplifting story about women triumphing over their expected social roles on a global scale. It's a heartwarming story that, despite focusing more on its themes than any other aspect, still delivers a memorable tale with roots in real life.
  15. Orphan: First Kill is a kooky romp, way too relaxed to be considered a psychological horror.

    While The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter is lacking compared to the book and first movie, it's still an entertaining kid's adventure.
  16. With Pugh's powerhouse performance elevating the script and an engaging central mystery to keep the plot moving, the film has enough going for it to make it a pleasing watch.
  17. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny doesn't quite match the highs that came before it, but with Ford's assured performance at its center, it's still an entertaining and nostalgic ride.
  18. This movie won't be for everyone, but Dafoe enthusiasts will have to check out his go-for-broke depiction of a man at his wits' end. It keeps the movie exciting even when the pacing falters.
  19. Drenched in a Suspiria-like red, Malignant has its remarkable horror moments, but ultimately succumbs to a tale that is more style than substance.
  20. Though The Perfect Find struggles with the romance aspects, its commentary on finding love late in life is a pure delight.
  21. West Side Story is visually entrancing, emotional, and the choreography and staging magnetic even when certain aspects of the story don’t always work.
  22. Ricci’s assured and robust lead performance helps build upon some exciting ideas in the script and is ultimately the reason to watch. She is thoroughly captivating and, while the film never reaches her level of excellence, it is still a relatively fun, wonky ride.
  23. The film's comedy is the cherry on top of a disgusting meal one has to hear to believe.
  24. Infamous has a good balance of fun thrills and compelling drama that make for an entertaining watch.

    Though rooted in familiar territory, it lands on an unexpectedly resonant note, blending humor, heartache, and hard-won connection into a conclusion that works marginally better than its formula suggests.
  25. Although helmed by Washington’s visceral performance & nostalgia-addled slow-burn, The Little Things eventually falters due to its own clichéd tropes.
  26. Overall, The Boss Baby: Family Business is a fun way for adults to spend some time with their kids, and in that regard, the movie completely succeeds in its purpose.
