“Maze Runner: The Death Cure”
Nutshell: A fun ride, if you ignore the fact that this final film in the Maze Runner series is a tangled mess of cliches and overused tropes. I wish I could say I enjoyed the ride, but I was too … Continue reading
“Insidious: The Last Key”: tired tropes combine with new twists
Nutshell: There’s no doubt that Lin Shaye is an incredible actress that brings top-notch talent to this series as psychic-in-charge Elise. There is, however, serious doubt that this series can continue, considering how it scrapes up the usual jump scares … Continue reading

“The Post” – a historical drama that’s all too relevant today
Nutshell: Dynamic performances, and a story about a moment in the Nixon White House where the POTUS tried to break the First Amendment. Echoes of the current administration can’t be denied. Definitely one of my Top 10 films of 2017. … Continue reading
The Greatest Showman: Sizzle and spectacle
Nutshell: Bring forth the bread and circus! Jackman shines as the great P.T. Barnum, and Michael Gracey shows his first-time director skills by laying out a lavish, lush spectacle that needs to be seen on the largest screen possible for … Continue reading
“The Shape of Water” – sparkes but doesn’t fully set sail
Nutshell: While Shape is a fascinating story with absolutely incredible performances by Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon and Octavia Spencer, it has neither the sense of wonder of Pan’s Labyrinth, nor the suspense of The Devil’s Backbone. But I can’t say … Continue reading

“Murder on the Orient Express”(2017) – a gorgeous but slightly bumpy ride
Nutshell: Gorgeous visuals, a stellar cast, and a killer mystery adds up to a promising film. Though things tend to sputter midway through, and the plot focuses a bit too heavily on Poirot, it all gets wrapped up nicely. Plus, … Continue reading

Thor: Ragnarok – a rockin’ good time
Nutshell: Taika Waititi swings and hits it out of the gladiatorial ballpark with this laugh out loud action adventure. Hemsworth is game as a newly hammerless (but not humorless) God of Thunder, Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie more than keeps up with … Continue reading
