Unfaithful

Unfaithful; Erotic thriller of a tryst gone off the rails, spiralling into the dissolving of a long married couple. Excellent performances and solid directing elevate the material above its unexplained motivations of the characters so that it becomes watchable and enticing despite its flaws; C+

Zack Snyder's Justice League

Zach Snyder’s Justice League; If thought of as a six episode superhero series, this is an improvement on the original (can’t complain about more Flash & more Cyborg). Expands the characters & lives longer in the moments. Like we’ve grown accustomed to from premium television; B+

Justice League

Justice League; Sum of the parts not nearly as interesting as each individual character could be. Casting is great but assembly awkward and underwhelming. Not very memorable at all; B-

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice; Bat bits are fantastic, Supes' angst complex, female roles fierce. Lex is lame. Comic lovers film; A-

Inside Out

Inside Out; Emotional roller coaster that's light on laughs but big on tears. Heartfelt moments explore our mental health. Very poignant; A

Man of Steel

Man of Steel; Looks incredible but feels hollow. You will believe a man can fly, but you won't care. Well done but ultimately meaningless; C
