Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Spine-tinglingly sensational cinematic experience weaves a wonderful alternate world where ground-breaking arachnimation, comic comedy, and philosophical depth can co-exist simultaneously, and even as the brilliantly genre-bending cast of characters struggle to thwart trans-dimensional fusion they introduce our less-advanced reality to futuristic concepts like… genuine diversity, moral ambiguity, and increased spider-sensitivity.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Gal’s nuanced naivety sustains an overlong story despite periodic poor pacing. Excellently executed film uses physical action as proxy for ideals resulting in an epic battle boasting comedy, moral weight, and a sprinkling of Snyder speed-ramps. DC deserves a Pat on the back for finally birthing a good film.

The Finest Hours

Half the Afflecks steer half a boat for half a movie before handing over the dramatic reigns to Foster and Pine who brave hellish high water to rescue a Disney ending. Solid performances, phenomenal effects, and wave after wave of tension make up for a boatload of clichés and predictability.

Hell or High Water

Ben Bridges the gap between upstanding Chris and the criminal ideas he Fosters while Jeff Pines for a lost way of life. Heavy-handed economic statement looms dark over this brotherly Bonnie & Clyde but simplicity of story and earnestness of performance ensure that this adventure makes it to the bank.
