The Adam Project

The Adam Project; Time travelling sci-fi can often get messy w/plotting and logic, so Reynolds’ ability to weave comedy, action & drama keeps it entertaining while the film struggles to connect the dots. Cast and budget make it well worth the watch but it lacks lasting effect; B

Into the Wild

Into the Wild; A little too in love with itself, but a beautiful film regardless. Excellent cast explores living off the grid with romanticized results. Relationships shine along with the scenery and soothing soundtrack. Intriguing but answers less questions than it brings up; B+

Incredibles 2

Incredibles 2; Long awaited sequel picks up where the original left off. Action aplenty and offers some amazing animated sequences. Characters shine equally and play emotional and comedic beats well. Fun for the whole family; A

Get Out

Get Out; A fine play on horror tropes juxtaposed with race relations. Exposes the creepiest behaviour and cleverly, it doesn’t come from the horror genre elements; A-

The Croods

The Croods; Surprisingly fun & enjoyable on several levels. Nice to see something new, even if it is a mish mash of movies past. Cool art; B
