    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    The messaging of a word of expendables isn’t lost, but this strange satire struggles in the consistency department.

  • The Monkey

    The Monkey

    ★★★

    The comedy ironically works better than the horror, but this adaptation understands what it is and - more importantly- what audience it’s catering to.

    Skippy

    ★★★½

    One of Oscar’s youngest acting nominees ever Jackie Cooper carries this clunky, yet soulful film on compassion and friendship that holds up quite well despite its slower moments.

  • Wolf Man

    Wolf Man

    ★★½

    In its attempts to make us feel werewolves could be a reality, this update to the 1940s Universal Monster franchise ironically gets increasingly absurd the more it tries to convince us it’s more than mythical.
