Peppermint
Good 83 Points 2018

Jennifer Garner ably leads an action movie, convincingly playing an avenging mother who takes down an LA-based drug cartel and the corrupt law enforcement officers on their payroll. Will this be enough for the studio to order a sequel? Probably not, but it’s enough to be entertained by Peppermint.

Juliet, Naked
Good 66 Points 2018

Charming romcoms that are more intelligent than LOL funny are worth their weight in popcorn. Juliet, Naked is lightly buttered, a fine time at the movies for smart comedy fans as much as for lonely hearts.

Really Great 17 Points 2018

Viggo Mortensen knocks one out of the park as the bigoted Bronx Italian American Tony Lip who gets a job driving a sophisticated black Jazz star Don Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali – who is also really great). Based on a true story, this is clearly a progressive messages film, the two bond an …

Barely OK 17 Points 2018

Why Kelsey Grammar, Kristen Bell, and an understated Seth Rogan couldn’t make more our of this low-budget film is a bit of a mystery. It had potential, but the further in you got, you realized it is really just a Royal Caribbean commercial.

22 July
Great 17 Points 2018

This emotional look at the tragic events outside Oslo brings up many difficult subjects. Mass murder, extremism, socio-cultural dealings with all of it and a unique and unforgettable glimpse in to the hearts of the Norwegian people. Not to be missed.
