Writer/director Jordan Peele delivers superior suspense in “Us,” his follow-up to 2017’s “Get Out.” It will have you thinking, puzzling, marveling even as you’re on the edge of your seat.
The sequel to last year’s surprise hit “The Purge” improves on its predecessor by taking audiences out into the streets and into the chaos that was only hinted at in the first film.
The World’s End is occasionally hilarious, and features a madcap performance from Simon Pegg that could be his funniest in a lead role. But it also drags towards its oddly unsatisfying finish, much like a pub crawl with one too many stops.
“This is the End” is often very funny, especially if you enjoy satire that skewers Hollywood stereotypes and gags revolving around weed, masturbation, and other preoccupations usually associated with arrested development.
“Evil Dead”, the remake of the 1981 Sam Raimi cult classic horror film, is a humorless exercise in torture porn that lacks any of the imagination or the fun of the original. It’s the worst thing that a horror movie can be: mindnumbingly dull.
Relentlessly violent, gory, and profane, “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” has just one other thing going for it aside from its comely cast: it’s short.
