“Truth or Dare” delivers low-key chills this Friday the 13th
Nutshell: Cliches and tropes we’ve all seen too many times before. Characters we’ve all come to expect in horror films. And yet, Blumhouse’s tribute to Stranger Danger can be surprisingly effective at times. Not chilling, but effective. That’s worth a … Continue reading

“Rampage” – monstrous fun
Nutshell: Big mutant animals! On a rampage! With lots of good looking guys all over the place! People who are looking for Fine Cinema in this film are idiots. For those of you who just want big monster fun, this … Continue reading
“Ready Player One” – 80s nostalgia at its best
Nutshell: Forget the haters that say RP1 is just a hodgepodge of 80s nostalgia packed in glitter. Because RP1 is a hodgepodge of 80s nostalgia packed in glitter, and that makes it awesome. Spielberg takes a gloriously messy thrill ride … 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
7 Pieces Of: “Battle of the Sexes”
Nutshell: Seriou, funny, riveting and real, Battle of the Sexes digs into the lives of two tennis superstars and paints a picture of the era…and problems in our world we still seem to be grappling with. Grade: A- “Time to … Continue reading
“It” floats just as well as the original
Nutshell: This reboot/remake of the 1990 TV miniseries has a different feel to it, but dammit if it doesn’t pack a punch. A young cast full of poised-to-break-out stars, a director who knows how to handle the spooky, and a … Continue reading

“Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” – beautiful, messy
Nutshell: Dazzling, beautiful, uneven. The lightning-in-a-bottle that was Besson’s The Fifth Element doesn’t strike twice here, even though the visuals and world-building magic is definitely present and accounted for. It’s as if with Valerian, Besson focused more on the universe … Continue reading
“War for the Planet of the Apes” is the APE-x of this series
Nutshell: Literally awe-inspiring. Director Matt Reeves and an incredibly talented group of motion capture and live action performers deliver a meditation on what it means to be human…and how humanity isn’t something you’re born with by simple genetics, but something … Continue reading

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” slings lots of fun and tons of heart
Nutshell: Another revamp of the Spider-Man story? Yep. And this time it’s a keeper. As a young man with extraordinary powers, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is definitely a marvel. And this (sorta)solo outing does the character and MCU justice. Welcome … Continue reading

“The Mummy” – action, monsters, and Tom Cruise
Nutshell: More a “Tom Cruise Action Movie With Monsters In It” than a monster movie starring Tom Cruise. The first act is a rock ’em sock ’em action extravaganza that leads into a very interesting peek at Universal’s “Dark Universe”. … Continue reading
