★ | While the foundation is solid, Primate is a poorly written and unimaginative addition to a genre that has so much more to give.
Obnoxiously loud and vapid, Marty Supreme is an expensive and unruly character portrait without anything resembling character.
Mean, hateful, cynical, and boring. Anaconda is one of the worst things to emerge in theaters all year.
★★ | Featuring great performances by its cast, Dead of Winter is two disparate films forced into an unconvincing whole.
★ | Bloated beyond belief, the third Avatar is an exercise in tedious plotting, ugly stereotypes, and dull action.
★★★ | Ambitious and unexpected, Alex Noyer's second feature doesn't always connect, but its thrills are a welcome addition to the folk horror genre.
★★ | As uneven and bloated as the first part, Wicked: For Good is twice as long as it needs to and far more boring than a musical of this caliber should be.
★★★ | Mostly fun and handsomely produced, The Running Man suffers from a lack of conviction that robs it of urgency and impact.
★ | Tediuous, tiresome, and unbearably smug. Now You See Me, Now You Don't is a failed magic trick in every conceivable way.
★★★★ | The best kind of horror film: Horrifying, gross, and uncomfortably funny.
★★★★★ | Superbly written and directed, Keep Quiet is a brilliant showcase for the incomparable Lou Diamond Phillips, who delivers one of the best performances of the year.
★★★★ | Chaotic and in deeply bad taste, Flush is a bleakly funny nightmare of absurd proportions.
