“Mother’s Day” – sweet, easily digestible fluff. Probably better than waffles from a 3-year-old.
Nutshell***: A whole lot funnier – and, surprisingly, sweeter – than I anticipated. Then again, I anticipated sheer, unadulterated crap. Director Gary Marshall manages to take what could have been a hideous train wreck of sap and turns it into … Continue reading
“Sing Street” nails John Carney’s musical movies hat-trick

“Winter’s War”: hot performances, cold story
“And you thought this was just a game.” Nutshell: a sequel that feels like a sincere attempt that devolved into a cash-grab. Outstanding performances and gorgeous visuals can’t save a story that doesn’t know what to do with itself. But … Continue reading

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is Snyder’s muddled masterstroke
Nutshell: Director Zach Snyder knows how to craft a scene to reach maximum audience reaction. With Batman v Superman, he builds up each superhero and then shows the cracks in the facade. But BvS suffers from too-much-itis; there’s a whole … Continue reading
Elsewhere Review: 10 Cloverfield Lane
As always, clicky on the title below for the original piece! 10 Cloverfield Lane Nutshell: 10 Cloverfield Lane is a worthy successor to the original Cloverfield, actually beating the sophomore slump and rising above the first film.. Not in the … Continue reading
“London Has Fallen”: second verse, same as the first
Nutshell: They could have subtitled this film “If you liked the first one, you’ll really dig this!” London Has Fallen brings all the same grade-A destruction that Olympus Has Fallen rained down on moviegoers, but on a grander scale. The … Continue reading
