Frozen II Plays It Safe
Frozen II succeeds as a brand extension for Disney, but limps over the line as a movie in its own right.
Knives Out (2019)
Knives Out is a classic whodunit, defined by plentiful lies and a ludicrous set of twists and turns engulfing its oversized characters.
21 Bridges (2019)
For about forty minutes, 21 Bridges is a compelling film.
Gears, Pedals and the Male Ego: The Machinations of Ford v Ferrari
Though well-intended, Ford v Ferrari’s insistence on old-fashioned filmmaking means it trades any insights for entertainment.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Dark Fate is, in my book, the best attempt to continue the Terminator franchise since 1991. It’s a shame that it just happens to be dead on arrival.
Monster Fest: Rabid (2019)
The ideas are all there, but they’re wrapped up in a clumsily-configured storyline let down by its clichéd characterisations.
Monster Fest: 3 From Hell (2019)
3 From Hell is that it doesn’t really have a substantial enough idea to justify returning to a decade-old franchise.
Monster Fest: The Furies (2019)
There’s nothing especially original about neo-slasher The Furies, but its purity sets it apart.
Monster Fest Brisbane 2019
Halloween is only days away, and what better way to celebrate the occasion with a bevy of horror films at this year’s iteration of Monster Fest?
After the Wedding (2019)
This is mostly an excuse for Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore to flex their acting muscles.
