Movie Review – Sing 2

Sing 2 is an ADORABLE movie with spectacular song and dance numbers, great animation, and a lot of heart and humor. The story is a fine follow-up to the lives of the animals well-loved from the original, with some cameos of minor roles in the first few minutes…so try not to be late. Where Sing 2 falls down […]

Golden Man’s Movie Review – Jojo Rabbit

Although I’m a fan of director Taika Waititi, the first trailer for Jojo Rabbit didn’t inspire much confidence.  The scene of an imaginary Hitler comforting a ten-year-old boy fell pretty flat.  Waititi isn’t the first person to mine World War II for laughs.  Charlie Chaplin, Mel Brooks, and the TV show Hogan’s Heroes have made […]

Movie Review – Alita: Battle Angel – Lighter, more Enjoyable than Ghost in the Shell

  Alita: Battle Angel is a sort of YA version of Ghost in the Shell, and I’m not exactly thrilled to see the same thing re-done in so short a period of time. At least this one was more enjoyable, with better humor, more likable characters, and a universe that might be more interesting to […]

Movie Review – Isle of Dogs

Do see Isle of Dogs if it comes anywhere near your theater. It’s creative and quirky, with a great voiceover cast of big stars…and this is honestly something I haven’t seen before. Everyone in the production really pulled out a stylish little film. There are moments in this stop-animation tale that are sort of strange […]

Movie Review – Ghost in the Shell

Grade: A- This is a really, really pretty movie. It’s also a seamless use of CGI, and I’m normally really hard on films that rely extensively on computer animation. It totally works in this one. Ghost in the Shell is an origin story for a comic book character called Major, and apparently this isn’t a […]

Movie Review – LUCY

“Lucy” is like two movies mashed together: one is enjoyable and explores interesting questions; the other is lame and hyper-violent. Rating this movie is a question of how to balance these two. Where this movie really fails is in it’s brevity. Not including the credits it’s only an hour and twenty-two minutes long. That’s far […]
