Review: “Maleficent”

Angelina Jolie is pitch perfect as Disney’s iconic villain Maleficent, and leads a visually stunning production that’s only possible flaw, oddly enough, is its take on the title character herself.

Clueless Movie Reviews: “The LEGO® Movie”

The LEGO® Movie is credited to four writers, and it feels like it. Plus, it commits the unforgivable sin as far as films geared toward younger audiences: It’s slow to the point of potentially boring the kids.

Clueless Movie Reviews: “The Legend Of Hercules”

Clash of the Titans without the budget, Gladiator without the spectacle, Immortals without the style, God of War without the wicked fun, “The Legend of Hercules” imitates many much better sword and sandal epics in film and video games and exceeds none of them. It’s painful to watch, and not because of the fight scenes.

REVIEW: “Her”★★★★ and ½

“Her” is an unflinchingly, unapologetically complex and challenging film, and it’s an acting tour de force for Joaquin Phoenix, who carries this film from start to finish with a performance that’s charming, sad, creepy, and endearing all at once.

Clueless Movie Reviews: “The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug”

Easily the weakest of Peter Jackson’s cinematic epics set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth fantasy realm, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug often feels leaden and belabored, as it lacks any of the dramatic intensity and momentum of its Lord of the Rings predecessors.

REVIEW: “Thor: The Dark World” ★★ and a ½

Though it has its entertaining moments, most of which feature Tom Hiddleston as the mischievous Loki, “Thor: The Dark World” fails to soar to the same heights as its 2011 predecessor. It’s a sequel borne of necessity, devoid of style and verve, all amounting to precious little.

Clueless Movie Reviews: “Oz The Great And Powerful”

Director Sam Raimi and the screenwriters of “Oz the Great and Powerful” appear to be well aware of the fine line needed to walk in creating a new work while still paying homage to the original. For the most part, the latest 3D wonder from Disney works.
